Fundamentals of Secure Software - Server-Side Request Forgery

The video tutorial discusses server side request forgery (SSRF), a cyber attack where a malicious actor sends a crafted request to a web server, causing it to redirect to an unintended location. This can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information or further attacks. The tutorial outlines defenses against SSRF, such as network segmentation, firewall policies, and input validation. It also highlights the potential consequences of SSRF, including access to local files and internal services, which can result in remote code execution or denial of service.
