AWS IAM role credential exfiltration via EC2 Instance Metadata Service (IMDSv1)
AWS offers a metadata service accessible to most EC2 Instances via a simple GET request to 169.254.169.254. If an instance has an SSRF vulnerability, attackers can access the metadata service & exfiltrate the credentials of an attached IAM role to gain privileged access to the relevant AWS environment.
