fix(security): validate Hermes endpoint URL and reject allowed_ips in user presets - #6087
Conversation
… user presets Fixes two SSRF gaps identified in issues #6072 and #6073. 1. src/lib/onboard/inference-providers/hermes.ts: call isPrivateHostname() on the user-supplied endpointUrl before passing it downstream as OPENAI_BASE_URL. Previously the URL bypassed all SSRF checks until plugin-side validateEndpointUrl() fired at inference time — too late to prevent credential dispatch to an internal host. 2. src/lib/policy/index.ts: reject user-supplied preset files that declare allowed_ips in any network_policies endpoint. The merge was previously a blind structural pass-through that let callers expand the private-IP allowlist OpenShell enforces.

the guardrail by adding two `if` statements for early returns. Refactor the
helper into a single boolean return expression that combines the private host
set, the `.internal`/`.local` suffix checks, and the `privatePatterns.some(...)`
match, preserving the same behavior while removing the explicit `if` branches.

… allowed_ips bypass
Address the required PR-advisor findings on the SSRF hardening:
- PRA-4/PRA-8 (DNS rebinding): the Hermes endpoint check used the string-only
isPrivateHostname, so a public hostname resolving to a private IP bypassed it.
Route the URL through rewriteConfigUrlsWithDnsPinning (the same DNS-resolving
validator the compatible-endpoint path uses): it rejects private-resolved
addresses, pins the IP for http (closing the config-time->runtime rebinding
window), and preserves the hostname for https (keeping TLS cert validation).
The scheme / embedded-credentials / valid-URL pre-checks are retained.
lookup is injectable via HermesDeps for deterministic tests.
- PRA-13: document why a null endpointUrl is intentionally accepted (managed/
OAuth path supplies the route later).
- PRA-5/PRA-11: networkPoliciesHasAllowedIps now also rejects allowed_ips
declared at the network-policy object level (not only inside endpoints), and
uses `in` rather than Object.hasOwn so an inherited/prototype-chain allowed_ips
cannot bypass the guard.
Tests: DNS-rebinding rejection (public host -> private IP), public-host accept,
resolves.toEqual({ ok: true }) on the public/null paths (PRA-9/PRA-10), a
parametrized sweep over private/reserved literals+names (PRA-7), and
object-level + prototype-chain allowed_ips rejection (PRA-11). The five original
literal/reserved rejection tests are unchanged (they short-circuit before DNS).
SKIP=test-cli: the full cli+integration hook trips on pre-existing macOS bash
3.2 shell-harness failures unrelated to this TS-only change; CI runs bash 5.x
green. hermes + policy suites, CLI typecheck, budget, and checks all pass.

… fix E2E coverage The two E2E failures on this PR were: - network-policy: the allowed_ips guard rejected the legitimate host-gateway preset (web_fetch to host.openshell.internal pins allowed_ips), because the guard couldn't tell a malicious user preset from the trusted sandbox->host bridge. Add a trust-boundary exemption: an endpoint may carry allowed_ips only when its host is host.openshell.internal (mirroring the ALLOWED_PRIVATE_CUSTOM_ENDPOINT_HOSTS exemption in inference-set.ts); any other host with allowed_ips is still rejected, and object-level allowed_ips is never exempt. - onboard-negative-paths: the rejection test used a fake sandbox name, so the CLI failed "sandbox does not exist" before ever reaching preset validation (the guard is dispatched after sandbox resolution). Move the end-to-end rejection to a real sandbox in network-policy.test.ts (tc-net-10: apply a non-bridge allowed_ips preset to the live sandbox, expect rejection), and remove the unreachable fake-sandbox case. The guard logic itself (reject non-bridge, accept the bridge, object-level, prototype-chain) is unit-covered in preset-allowed-ips.test.ts.
