# Basic SSRF Against the Local Server
Basic SSRF Against the Local Server notes for PortSwigger Web Security Academy labs, including exploitation workflow, payload testing, Burp Suite validation, and remediation context.
### Basic SSRF Against the Local Server
This lab offers a stock verification feature that questions an internal service. / The objective is to modify the URL used by this check to access the administration interface available on `HTTP://localhost/admin` and then delete the user **carlos**.
#### **Analysis and Exploitation**
The **stockApi** parameter sends a query to an internal URL:
```bash
stockApi=http://stock.weliketoshop.net:8080/product/stock/check?productId=1&storeId=1
```
By intercepting the request, it is possible to replace this URL with a local target. / The server correctly processes the following value:
```javascript
stockApi=http://localhost/admin
```
This allows to display the administration interface.
#### **Deletion of the User**
In the HTML code of the admin interface, we observe the parameter used to delete a user:
```
/admin/delete?username=carlos
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://hacking-notes.jord4n.pro/web/ssrf/basic-ssrf-against-local-server.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
