This repository provides a comprehensive proof-of-concept (POC) exploit for CVE-2023-7231, a critical SSRF vulnerability in Audible's fetchResource API. The exploit demonstrates how an unauthenticated attacker can leverage SSRF to access internal AWS EC2 metadata, Docker API endpoints on localhost, and environment variable endpoints, potentially leading to credential theft and remote code execution. The codebase is structured with modular Python scripts: AWSChainValidator, DockerChainValidator, and EnvChainValidator each probe a specific internal service, while Execution_Workflow_OST&R.py orchestrates the attack chain and report generation. The repository includes detailed documentation, vulnerability reports, and test results, confirming the exploit's effectiveness and outlining the theoretical impact of full compromise. The exploit is VDP-compliant, avoids destructive actions, and is suitable for demonstrating risk to affected organizations.
