Understanding the AWS Metadata Service

The AWS metadata service provides you with access to various information within an instance, including the instance role credential and session token. There are known SSRF vulnerabilities that exploit this service, allowing attackers to use it as a pivot point to gain access to your environment.

Understanding Notable Attacks and the Importance of IMDSv2

You may have heard of notable attacks that utilized a method to gain access through a vulnerable web application, which had access to the instance metadata service. An attacker could extract credentials from the metadata service and use them outside of that specific instance.
