💡 Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
SSRF attacks trick servers into making requests to internal resources that should not be publicly accessible. This can expose cloud metadata endpoints, internal APIs, and private network services, potentially leading to full infrastructure compromise.
💡 Content Security Policy Implementation
Content Security Policy headers instruct browsers to restrict resource loading, mitigating XSS and data injection attacks. Properly configured CSP policies prevent inline script execution, restrict iframe embedding, and control which domains can serve content.
