Hackers Target SSRF Bugs in EC2 Hosted Sites to Steal AWS Credentials

Hackers Target SSRF Bugs in EC2-Hosted Sites to Steal AWS Credentials

Avatar Image 60x60Ravi Jain
Recent cyberattacks exploited a weakness in Amazon EC2 configurations. Hackers targeted Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilities in websites hosted on EC2. This allowed them to access the internal EC2 metadata service and steal AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) credentials. The campaign, observed in March 2025, leveraged older, less secure metadata services. Organizations are urged to upgrade to newer, more secure versions and implement other security measures. A cybersecurity firm, F5 Labs, detailed these attacks and recommends specific defenses, which are also offered as services by Technijian. ... Read More
