Technical details
The send_request_cgi! function in Metasploit Framework before 6.5.7 follows HTTP redirects without validating the destination host, enabling server-side request forgery (SSRF). An attacker controlling a target HTTP server can craft a redirect response to cause the Metasploit operator's system to make requests to arbitrary internal services reachable from their network. This grants attackers visibility and access to internal HTTP services not otherwise accessible from outside.
