Server-Side Vulnerabilities¶
Attacks targeting the server: injection, SSRF, file operations, and backend logic.
-
SQL Injection
Extract data, bypass auth, escalate to RCE.
-
SSRF
Reach internal services, cloud metadata, pivot deeper.
-
Injection
Command, XXE, SSTI, NoSQL, GraphQL, gRPC...
Quick Wins¶
| Vuln | Test | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| SQLi | ' OR 1=1-- in params |
🔴 Critical |
| SSRF | url=http://169.254.169.254/ |
🔴 Critical |
| Command Inj | ; id in filename params |
🔴 Critical |
| XXE | XML with DOCTYPE | 🔴 Critical |
| SSTI | {{7*7}} in templates |
🔴 Critical |
| Path Traversal | ../../../etc/passwd |
🟠 High |
Common Entry Points¶
- URL parameters:
url=,path=,file=,redirect= - Headers:
X-Forwarded-For,Host,Referer - File uploads: Filename, content-type, file content
- API endpoints: GraphQL queries, gRPC calls
- Webhooks: Callback URLs, payload parsing
