SSRF helper validates a hostname then lets httpx re-resolve it (tsk-6uymvv) - #2802
Conversation
…ymvv) validate_url_or_raise resolved a hostname, checked every answer and then returned nothing but permission; the caller's httpx client then resolved the same name a second time. A nameserver the attacker controls could answer public to the check and 127.0.0.1 to the connection, and every check in the module still passed. The address that was checked is now the address connected to. A guarded client swaps the connection pool's network backend for one that resolves the hostname as part of opening the socket, validates that answer, and connects to it - one lookup, and it is the checked one. The request URL is untouched, so SNI and certificate verification still run against the original hostname. Every fetch of a user-supplied URL now uses it, and validate_url_or_raise returns the addresses it approved so the pattern that invited the second lookup is no longer available.

- Library web ingest: hoist the guarded client out of the per-hop redirect loop so one client (one pool, one SSL context, one pinned backend) serves the whole redirect chain instead of building and tearing one down on every hop. - Knowledge article ingest: reject a caller-supplied fetch_client that is an httpx.AsyncClient but was not built by guarded_async_client, instead of silently accepting it and bypassing the SSRF pin. - ssrf.py comment: correct the claim that getaddrinfo sorts by RFC 6724 preference; the pin only relies on dict.fromkeys preserving first-seen resolver order. - test_knowledge_ingest.py: fix stray 8-space indent in an IngestPipeline(...) call.

CARD TITLE (intent, not commit subject): SSRF helper validates a hostname then lets httpx re-resolve it - a low-TTL nameserver can answer public to the check and 127.0.0.1 to the connection
Autonomous build of board card tsk-6uymvv.
What changed
validate_url_or_raiseresolved a hostname, checked every answer, and thenreturned nothing but permission. The caller's
httpxclient resolved the samename a second time when it opened the connection, so a nameserver the attacker
controls could answer public to the check and
127.0.0.1to the connection withevery check in the module still passing. Adding blocklist entries cannot fix
that; the address that was checked has to be the address connected to.
The pin.
tinyagentos/routes/desktop_browser/ssrf.pygainsguarded_async_client(...): anhttpx.AsyncClientwhose connection pool uses a_PinnedResolutionBackend.httpcorecalls that backend'sconnect_tcpwiththe hostname from the request URL - the exact place the second lookup used to
happen - and the backend resolves it, runs the blocklist over the answer, and
hands the socket layer the literal address instead of the name. One lookup, and
it is the checked one.
This is the card's option 2 (pin at the transport), but at the network backend
rather than by rewriting the request URL to the IP. Rewriting the URL would have
worked, and it is what the card sketches, but it leaks the literal upward:
respx-based tests, redirect resolution, cookie scoping, andresponse.urlallread the request URL. Pinning below it leaves all of that stock
httpx, andmeans TLS needs no special handling at all -
httpcorestill derives SNI andthe certificate-verification hostname from the original name, and
verifystayson (test:
test_tls_verification_stays_on_and_the_url_keeps_the_hostname).The transport raises at construction if a future
httpxmoves that seam, ratherthan quietly handing back an unpinned client.
Every call site, not one caller. All eight
validate_url_or_raisecall siteswere enumerated; the six that then fetch now fetch through a guarded client:
routes/desktop_browser/proxy.pyhttpx.AsyncClient->guarded_async_clientroutes/desktop_browser/extract.pyroutes/desktop_browser/download.pylibrary_pipeline.py(WebProcessor, the card's representative caller)peer.py(deliver_handshake, own-client branch)push/unifiedpush.py(HttpUnifiedPushSenderdefault client)allow_private=Trueto mirror its ownsend()validationknowledge_ingest.py(_download_article)fetch_client=injection, defaulting to a fresh guarded client per downloadroutes/devices.pyknowledge_ingestneeded the extra seam because its injectedhttp_clientisthe app-wide one, also used to reach the LLM backend and qmd on loopback:
guarding that client would have blocked our own services. Trusted-internal and
untrusted-outbound are now separate clients, which is the boundary that was
missing.
validate_url_or_raisealso stops returningNone- it returns the addresses itapproved (order-preserving; the resolver's RFC 6724 order was previously
destroyed by a
set). The early call at each site is kept as a fail-fast with areadable reason for the 403; the transport is the enforcement.
Scope refutation. PR #2070 was not touched: as the card says, it uses the
helper correctly, and this defect is not in its code.
RED FIRST (pasted)
Run at the base ref (
origin/dev), with only the new test file added:The failing test drives a real caller (
WebProcessor.process) through a scriptedsocket.getaddrinfothat answers a public address on the first call forrebind.testand127.0.0.1on the second. The connection is intercepted athttpcore's network backend - the place a real connection resolves and opens thesocket - which performs that second lookup for real and then opens a real socket
to a loopback stand-in for the internal service. On
devthe fetch reaches it.test_agreeing_lookups_still_fetchis the control that passes in the same run: ahostname whose two lookups agree on a public address still fetches, and asserts
the fetched text is the public page. Without it, breaking all outbound fetching
would turn the red test green.
GREEN
Affected modules, at the pre-rebase head:
Re-run after rebasing onto current
origin/dev:tests/routes/desktop_browser/test_ssrf.pygains seven unit tests for the pinitself: the validator returns the addresses it approved in resolver order, the
guarded client really installs
_PinnedResolutionBackend,connect_tcphandsthe socket the checked literal, a blocked answer is refused before the inner
backend is touched,
allow_privatereaches the pin, TLS verification stays onwith the hostname intact, and unix-socket connections are refused.

its module docstring, which is rewritten to state the pinning rule and that any client
fetching a user-supplied URL must come from
guarded_async_client.Changelog fragment:
changelog.d/tsk-6uymvv-ssrf-dns-pinning.md.Note for reviewers: passing an explicit transport means
httpxno longer readsHTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXYfrom the environment for these fetches. That isintentional and documented in the factory's docstring - a proxy would do the
resolving and defeat the pin.
Follow-ups (not in this card's scope)
tinyagentos/scheduling/mesh_sync.py:109is_safe_url()is a second, independentSSRF implementation with the same validate-then-fetch shape.
tinyagentos/userspace/url_guard.py:26resolve_safe_public_ip()is a third; italready resolves and returns the address, but its caller does not pin to it.
