From ea9582641502e7b74bcd458a0550efb05ba73434 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Marc-Andr=C3=A9=20Bombeck?= Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2026 21:20:01 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] feat(ai): make the local-host SSRF escape hatch a host allowlist MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit `ALLOW_LOCAL_AI_PRIVATE_HOSTS` was a binary flag that, when `true`, opened every private/internal host at once — including the cloud metadata endpoint and any internal panel. Replace the binary check at all three sites (write-time validation, local client, test resolver) with a shared `isLocalAiHostAllowed` helper: a comma-separated host list permits only those exact hostnames, while the legacy `true` still permits any private host for backward compatibility. The safeFetch / isPublicUrl floor is untouched; the allowlist only widens what the operator deliberately permits. Docs and the SSRF-pin inventory test are updated accordingly. --- docs/integrations/ai-providers.md | 21 +++-- src/app/api/user/ai-provider/route.ts | 11 ++- src/lib/__tests__/ssrf-pin-inventory.test.ts | 13 +++- .../ai/__tests__/local-host-allowlist.test.ts | 60 +++++++++++++++ src/lib/ai/local-client.ts | 9 ++- src/lib/ai/local-host-allowlist.ts | 76 +++++++++++++++++++ src/lib/ai/provider.ts | 5 +- 7 files changed, 176 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/lib/ai/__tests__/local-host-allowlist.test.ts create mode 100644 src/lib/ai/local-host-allowlist.ts diff --git a/docs/integrations/ai-providers.md b/docs/integrations/ai-providers.md index 547364392..2aca1fda8 100644 --- a/docs/integrations/ai-providers.md +++ b/docs/integrations/ai-providers.md @@ -134,11 +134,14 @@ API key at rest like every other provider credential. **SSRF guard.** Local endpoints route through the same validation as every other outbound URL HealthLog hits.
