Open Proxy

Web applications often rely on proxy server to route requests to the right web service. An Open Proxy vulnerabilities occurs when a web server is configured to act as forward proxy, allowing anyone to use it to relay web traffic. This setup can may allow an attacker to use the proxy server to make requests to an external or internal server.\n\nThe corse issue arises because the proxy does not authenticate its users, thereby offering no control over who users the server’s resources or for what purpose.
