Detects exploitation of CVE-2026-54735, a critical (CVSS 10.0) server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in prebid/prebid-server affecting versions < 4.4.0, <= 3.30.0, <= 2.32.0, and <= 0.275.0. The flaw (CWE-918) allows an attacker to craft bid request or adapter/URL parameters that cause the prebid-server host to issue outbound requests to attacker-controlled or internal/cloud-metadata endpoints, potentially exfiltrating host environment data (cloud metadata credentials, internal service responses). Detection focuses on anomalous outbound HTTP requests originating from prebid-server processes/containers to internal RFC1918 ranges, loopback, link-local cloud metadata IPs (169.254.169.254), or unexpected external hosts triggered by bid/adapter request handling.

Testing Methodology
Validate this detection against 4 adversary techniques from Atomic Red Team. Each test below lists the behaviour to exercise and the telemetry you should expect to see. Executable commands and cleanup steps are available with Pro.
- Test 1Simulate SSRF request to cloud metadata endpoint via crafted auction request
Expected signal: Outbound HTTP connection from prebid-server process to 169.254.169.254 logged in network flow/access logs with source path /openrtb2/auction
- Test 2Simulate SSRF probe to internal RFC1918 service via cookie_sync endpoint
Expected signal: Outbound HTTP connection from prebid-server process to internal IP 10.0.0.5 logged with request path /cookie_sync
- Test 3Version fingerprint check against vulnerable prebid-server release
Expected signal: HTTP GET request to /status or /version endpoint logged in prebid-server access logs
- Test 4Simulate repeated metadata-scanning pattern via openrtb2/amp endpoint
Expected signal: Multiple outbound HTTP connections from prebid-server process to distinct internal/metadata IPs within a short time window, logged with request path /openrtb2/amp
