Summary

  • add opt-in security.redirects.allowedOrigins validation for full-page and SPA page-data redirects
  • derive the browser-visible HTTP(S) request origin once at the trusted proxy boundary
  • allow relative and same-origin destinations plus exact canonical external origins
  • preserve unrestricted redirects when the policy is omitted, while an empty allowlist permits same-origin redirects only
  • return the typed redirect-destination-not-allowed render failure without forwarding blocked redirect headers or cookies
  • document the policy and generated error reference

This is defense-in-depth for project-authored redirects, not a change to the default redirect contract. It covers returned, thrown, post-stream-shell, and client-side navigation redirect results.

Red-green TDD

RED:

  • config tests failed because security.redirects was unrecognized
  • SSR tests reproduced off-origin and unsafe-scheme destinations returning 302 under an active policy
  • review regressions reproduced SPA page-data emitting an untrusted redirect and SSR comparing same-origin against the internal runtime URL
  • final review regressions reproduced split-proxy port loss and SPA path-, query-, and fragment-relative redirects returning 500
  • fresh exact-head review reproduced client-side relative redirects resolving from the site root instead of the target route

GREEN:

  • focused config, policy, hosted snapshot, security-context, error-registry, SSR, page-data, request-boundary, and proxy-origin tests pass
  • complete unit suite passes: 3,916 tests, 29,844 steps, 0 failures, 1 ignored
  • proxy authority regression suite passes directly in Deno, Node, and Bun

Verification

  • deno task lint:ci
  • deno task typecheck
  • deno task test:unit
  • focused SSR, page-data, request-origin, runtime-context, and redirect-policy tests
  • generated API, error, and public documentation checks

Tracks veryfront/veryfront-issue-inbox#212.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added configurable redirect security with an allowlist of approved origins.
    • Relative and same-origin redirects remain supported; unsafe or unapproved destinations are rejected.
    • Added a dedicated runtime error for disallowed redirect destinations.
  • Documentation
    • Documented redirect security configuration, behavior, and remediation guidance.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Applied redirect validation consistently across server-rendered and client-facing responses.
    • Rejected redirects no longer apply associated headers or cookies.

A server module in a client graph aborts hydration in the browser. New leaks fail CI; known leaks are tracked in scripts/lint/client-bundle-baseline.json to burn down.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds configurable redirect destination validation. It supports canonical HTTP(S) origin allowlists, trusted browser-visible request origins, proxy authority preservation, SSR and page-data enforcement, and a dedicated runtime error with documentation.

Changes

Redirect destination security

Layer / File(s) Summary
Redirect policy contract and validation
src/utils/redirect-policy.ts, src/utils/redirect-policy.test.ts
Adds canonical origin parsing, bounded unique allowlists, destination validation, and coverage for valid, invalid, omitted, and null policies.
Redirect configuration wiring
src/types/server.ts, src/config/schemas/config.schema.ts, src/config/schemas/config.schema.test.ts, src/config/declarative-evaluator.test.ts, src/security/http/config.test.ts
Adds security.redirects.allowedOrigins to configuration types and schema validation. Derived security configuration preserves frozen redirect settings.
Trusted request-origin context
src/server/utils/request-host.ts, src/server/runtime-handler/project-runtime-context.ts, src/server/runtime-handler/handler-context-builder.ts, src/server/runtime-handler/...test.ts
Derives the trusted browser-visible request origin and passes it into HandlerContext.
Proxy request authority propagation
src/proxy/request-host.ts, src/proxy/handler.ts, src/proxy/proxy-error-context.ts, src/proxy/...test.ts
Preserves canonical request authorities, including ports, through proxy contexts and forwarded headers.
SSR and SPA redirect enforcement
src/server/services/rendering/ssr.service.ts, src/server/services/rendering/ssr.service.test.ts, src/server/handlers/request/module/page-data-endpoint-handler.ts, src/server/handlers/request/module/page-data-endpoint-handler.test.ts
Validates returned and thrown redirects before response creation. Rejected destinations produce runtime failures or 500 responses without redirect payloads, headers, or cookies.
Runtime error and documentation
src/errors/error-registry/runtime.ts, src/errors/index.ts, src/errors/error-registry.test.ts, docs/guides/data-fetching.md, docs/guides/errors.md, docs/api-reference/veryfront/errors.md
Registers and exports REDIRECT_DESTINATION_NOT_ALLOWED. Documents redirect policy behavior and updates runtime error source links.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3de40

The redirect validation change is mergeable with explicit follow-up because its new security tests currently run only in Deno and do not cover Node or Bun execution paths, leaving a bounded cross-runtime regression risk.

Please review exact head b90ceb25c. The only change since the prior product fix converts proxy authority coverage to the cross-runtime BDD API; it passes in Deno, Node, and Bun. All review threads are resolved.
