Retrieving AWS metadata and use it for RCE — Recently, I stumbled upon a SSRF vulnerability allowing retrieval of the Amazon metadata for the EC2 instance running the vulnerable software. But how to proceed and turn the SSRF into RCE? When researching a web application, I stumbled upon an endpoint which allowed me to perform SSRF. I’ll use the endpoint http://example.com/fetch?url=[path] as example.
