When it applies

Target on Azure and you have some access — SSRF into a VM/App Service with a Managed Identity, a leaked service-principal secret/cert, or a foothold. Goal: steal tokens, abuse Entra roles, reach resources.

Why it works

Azure resources authenticate via Managed Identities and service principals; the IMDS hands out OAuth tokens for them. Entra (Azure AD) roles and app permissions are widely over-assigned, and several (adding credentials to a service principal, role assignment, Owner on a subscription) escalate to control.

Method

  1. Managed Identity → token (via SSRF, or on the host): GET http://169.254.169.254/metadata/identity/ oauth2/token?api-version=2018-02-01&resource=https://management.azure.com/ with header Metadata: true (→ cloud-imds-ssrf). Also request tokens for Graph, Key Vault, Storage.
  2. Authenticate & enumerate: az login with the SP or token; enumerate roles/resources; map Entra with AzureHound (BloodHound for Azure); ScoutSuite/MicroBurst for misconfig.
  3. Entra / IAM privesc: add credentials to a service principal you can manage → auth as it; abusive Entra roles (Application/Cloud App Admin, Privileged Role Admin); role assignment (Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/write) → grant yourself Owner; consent grants.
  4. Resources & secrets: Key Vault (token for vault.azure.net), Storage blobs (→ storage misconfig), Automation Accounts / runbooks (RCE as their identity), App Service.
  5. Prove impact read-only as the escalated principal; avoid persistent role changes.

Gotchas

  • Two planes: ARM (resources) and Microsoft Graph / Entra (identity) — get tokens for the right resource/audience.
  • Managed-identity SSRF needs the Metadata: true header — header-less SSRF won't work (that's the mitigation).
  • AzureHound reveals Entra attack paths you'd miss manually — run it early.

Verify success

Escalated access proven — a token/role letting you act beyond your start (Key Vault secret read, subscription role you granted, resource action as a managed identity).
