# Exploiting Server-Side Request Forgery
## When to Use
- During authorized penetration tests when the application fetches URLs provided by users (webhooks, URL previews, file imports)
- When testing cloud-hosted applications for access to instance metadata services
- For assessing PDF generators, screenshot services, or any feature that renders external content
- When evaluating microservice architectures for internal service access via SSRF
- During security assessments of APIs that accept URL parameters for data fetching
## Critical: Payload Matrix and Bypasses (checklist-derived)
### Parameters to test (fuzz every one)
