SSRF to Cloud IMDS/Task-Metadata Endpoint via Web/App Runtime Process
This rule detects potential Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) activity where web application or runtime processes attempt to access the Cloud Instance Metadata Service (IMDS) or container task metadata endpoints. By monitoring network connections and application logs, the rule filters out known legitimate metadata clients and identifies suspicious processes frequently associated with web-based vulnerabilities that are repeatedly querying sensitive metadata paths.
