SSRFIND
Find SSRF-prone sinks and unvalidated URL fetches in code
PyPI CI License: COCL 1.0 Suite
Part of the Cognis Neural Suite.
pip install cognis-ssrfind
ssrfind scan . # → prioritized findings in seconds
🔎 Example output
Real, reproducible output from the tool — runs offline:
$ ssrfind-emit --version
ssrfind 0.1.0
$ ssrfind-emit --help
usage: ssrfind [-h] [--version] {scan} ...
Find SSRF-prone sinks and unvalidated URL fetches in source code (defensive
static analysis).
positional arguments:
{scan}
scan Scan a file or directory tree for SSRF hotspots.
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--version show program's version number and exit
Blocks above are real
ssrfindoutput — reproduce them from a clone.
Sample result format (illustrative values — run on your own data for real findings):
{
"Findings": [
{
"id": "1234567890",
"title": "Example Finding 1",
"description": "This is an example finding.",
"severity": "high",
"labels": ["malware", "ransomware"],
"created_at": "2023-02-15T14:30:00Z"
},
{
"id": "2345678901",
"title": "Example Finding 2",
"description": "This is another example finding.",
"severity": "medium",
"labels": ["phishing", "spear-phishing"],
"created_at": "2023-02-16T10:45:00Z"
}
]
}
Usage — step by step
- Install the CLI (console script
ssrfind):pip install cognis-ssrfind - Scan source for SSRF sinks —
scanwalks a file or directory tree for SSRF-prone sinks and unvalidated URL fetches:ssrfind scan ./src - Tune severity / format — only surface higher-confidence hits, or emit JSON:
ssrfind scan ./src --min-severity high ssrfind scan ./src --format json > ssrf.json - Read the output — each finding carries
severity,file:line, therule_id, thesink/argument, and explanatory notes; the JSON adds asummarycount by severity. Exit1when findings exist,0when clean,2on a bad path:ssrfind scan ./src --format json | jq '.summary, (.findings[] | {rule_id, file, line})' - Automate in CI — fail the job when SSRF hotspots appear:
- run: pip install cognis-ssrfind - run: ssrfind scan ./src --min-severity medium # nonzero exit = findings

Why ssrfind?
SSRF hotspots
ssrfind is single-purpose, scriptable, and self-hostable: point it at a target, get prioritized results in the format your workflow already speaks (table · JSON · SARIF), gate CI on it, and let agents drive it over MCP.
Features
- ✅ Scan Source
- ✅ Scan Path
- ✅ Runs on Linux/macOS/Windows · Docker · devcontainer
- ✅ Ports in Python, JavaScript, Go, and Rust (
ports/)
Quick start
pip install cognis-ssrfind
ssrfind --version
ssrfind scan . # scan current project
ssrfind scan . --format json # machine-readable
ssrfind scan . --fail-on high # CI gate (non-zero exit)
Example
$ ssrfind scan .
[HIGH ] SSR-001 example finding (./src/app.py)
[MEDIUM ] SSR-002 another signal (./config.yaml)

Use it from any AI stack
ssrfind is interoperable with every popular way of using AI:
- MCP server —
ssrfind mcp(Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cognis.Studio, uncensored-fleet) - OpenAI-compatible / JSON — pipe
ssrfind scan . --format jsoninto any agent or LLM - LangChain · CrewAI · AutoGen · LlamaIndex — wrap the CLI/JSON as a tool in one line
- CI / scripts — exit codes + SARIF for non-AI pipelines
How it compares
| Cognis ssrfind | semgrep ssrf | |
|---|---|---|
| Self-hostable, no account | ✅ | varies |
| Single command, zero config | ✅ | ⚠️ |
| JSON + SARIF for CI | ✅ | varies |
| MCP-native (AI agents) | ✅ | ❌ |
| Polyglot ports (JS/Go/Rust) | ✅ | ❌ |
| Open license | ✅ COCL | varies |
Built in the spirit of semgrep ssrf, re-framed the Cognis way. Missing a credit? Open a PR.
Integrations
Pipes into your stack: SARIF for code-scanning, JSON for anything, an MCP server (ssrfind mcp) for AI agents, and a webhook forwarder for SIEM/Slack/Jira. See docs/INTEGRATIONS.md.
