Question 560
A URL filter blocks 127.0.0.1 but allows alternative numeric and IPv6 loopback spellings. What is the MOST appropriate analyst action based on the evidence?
Explanation
Correct Answer
String-only URL filters can be bypassed using alternative address forms. Close SSRF IP normalization bypass.
Incorrect Answers
Defense-in-depth limits DNS rebinding into internal network targets. It could help contain SSRF through network-level egress rules, but it would not close SSRF IP normalization bypass.
Redirect chains can defeat a one-time destination allowlist. That is relevant to server-side request forgery, not to close SSRF IP normalization bypass.
Server-side fetchers can be coerced into reaching privileged internal endpoints. It would prevent SSRF to cloud metadata, but it would not close SSRF IP normalization bypass.
