You discover a Web API integrated with webhooks and an existing administrative web shell.

Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) is emphasized in CEH v13 Web Application Hacking as a stealthy and powerful attack. SSRF allows attackers to make requests from the trusted server itself, bypassing firewalls, authentication, and logging controls.

Compared to web shells or webhook abuse, SSRF leaves fewer forensic artifacts and enables internal API access, metadata exposure, and lateral movement.
