See how tricking your API into making HTTP requests on an attacker's behalf turns your backend into a weapon against your own internal network.
Imagine a helpful receptionist who will dial any phone number you hand them and repeat whatever the person on the other end says. In APIs, SSRF happens when an endpoint takes a URL (or part of one) from the client and makes a backend HTTP request to that destination without validating it.
Real attacks don't point your server to Google. Attackers pass internal IP addresses (like localhost:8080 or 192.168.1.1) to bypass firewalls and hit internal admin panels, or they target specific cloud metadata endpoints to steal raw infrastructure credentials.
