Host validation bypass via connection state attack - Lab#06
In this video, we walk through exploiting a routing-based SSRF vulnerability by performing a Host validation bypass via connection state attack. The lab showcases how a front-end server’s trust in persistent connection state can be abused to route requests to internal services.
🔍 What You'll Learn:
How SSRF can arise from flawed host validation logic.
The concept of connection reuse and stateful validation.
Exploiting the initial trusted request to bypass host restrictions.
Gaining access to internal admin panels at 192.168.0.1/admin.
📌 Lab Objective: Use a persistent HTTP connection to bypass Host header validation and access the internal admin interface, then delete the target user.
🛠 Tools Used: Burp Suite Repeater with keep-alive headers
