Server-side request forgery

Server-side request forgery (SSRF) is a computer security vulnerability that enables an attacker to send requests from a vulnerable server to internal or external systems or the server itself. The vulnerability arises when server functionality can be manipulated to access or modify resources that are otherwise inaccessible. SSRF is listed among the most critical API security risks and is recognized as one of the most serious software weaknesses.
