Hardens the token field of /api/register from two directions: how large it may be, and whether it may be used as an outbound URL. The two are handled together because they touch the same handler and would otherwise conflict.

Request size limits (#8)

Actix defaults to a 2 MB JSON body, which on unauthenticated endpoints is a free memory-amplification primitive. Each endpoint is now capped at what its body actually needs: 8 KiB for /api/register, 1 KiB for /api/unregister and /api/notify. The register token field is bounded separately at 4096 bytes, so a merely large value cannot sit in the in-memory store for its whole TTL.

Overflow is reported as 400, not 413. Hard constraint 3 freezes the register/unregister bodies with only 403 and 429 as documented exceptions, and hard constraint 2 restricts /api/notify to a single failure status. Rather than adding a third exception, the cap reuses the shape each endpoint already emits. Actix exposes overflow as its own JsonPayloadError variants, separate from Deserialize, so the per-route error handler remaps only the size case and leaves malformed-JSON behaviour untouched. CLAUDE.md needed no new exception.

SSRF guard (#4)

The UnifiedPush backend treats a registered device token as a URL and POSTs to it, so an unvalidated token was a request-forgery primitive reachable from the unauthenticated /api/register + /api/notify pair. The previous issue text pointed at register_endpoint, which is dead code; the reachable path was /api/registerTokenStore/api/notifysend_to_token.

New module src/push/endpoint_guard.rs, with two passes:

  • Registration — pure, no network. Keeps hostile values out of the store.
  • Dispatch — repeats the static checks and additionally resolves domain hosts, refusing if any resolved address is non-public. This is the authoritative gate.

The constraint that shaped the design: /api/register carries no field naming the backend, so an FCM token and a UnifiedPush URL arrive indistinguishable. FCM tokens containing a : do parse as URLs, but with a garbage scheme and no host, so the guard only inspects values whose scheme is http/https; everything else passes through as opaque. A regression test pins that realistic FCM tokens still register successfully — FCM is the only backend enabled in production, so an over-eager guard here would break every real registration.

Bypasses closed, each with a test:

  • https://[::ffff:169.254.169.254]/ parses as an IPv6 host, so the embedded address is unmapped before the IPv4 rules apply. Without this, every IPv4 rule is one bracket away from useless.
  • Obfuscated literal spellings (0x7f.1, decimal, octal) are normalised by Url::parse before the guard sees them — verified rather than assumed.
  • Ranges covered: loopback, RFC1918, link-local (where cloud metadata lives), CGNAT, 0.0.0.0/8, IETF assignments, benchmarking, reserved, plus IPv6 ULA, link-local and multicast.

Every rejection reason collapses into one message ("Invalid push endpoint") so the response cannot be used as an oracle to map the server's network. No new dependency: reqwest re-exports Url, and the host is parsed as an IP by hand since Host is not re-exported.

A bypass found while reviewing this branch

The guard as first written was defeatable in one HTTP header. reqwest follows up to 10 redirects by default and main.rs did not override that, while the guard only ever inspects the first hop. An attacker registers https://attacker.com/push, which passes cleanly, and their server answers 302 Location: http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/. Confirmed against a local server: the request followed the redirect and returned the second hop's body.

Fixed by giving the backend its own client with redirect::Policy::none(), built by a single function that production and tests both call so the policy cannot drift. FCM stays on the shared client — it talks to a fixed Google endpoint with a server-minted token, not a caller-supplied URL. The regression test asserts the second hop is never requested, not merely that its body is absent.

This coupling is now written down in the guard's module docs, in CLAUDE.md (which claimed a single shared client) and in docs/unifiedpush.md, because the guard's correctness depends on it.

What this does not close

DNS rebinding. reqwest resolves again when it connects, so a record with a very short TTL can change between validation and connection. Closing it requires pinning the validated address into the connection; tracked in #39, whose scope shrank to just adding a resolver to the client this PR already introduces. The limitation is documented rather than left implicit.

Verification

  • 73 tests pass; cargo fmt --check and cargo clippy --all-targets clean.
  • Both guards were mutation-tested. Removing the dispatch-side call makes the suite take 134 seconds instead of 0.02, because the server genuinely connects to 169.254.169.254 until it times out — the SSRF happening inside the test run. Removing the redirect policy fails the redirect test.
  • Pre-existing 200/400 bodies remain byte-identical to the fixtures.

One acceptance criterion on #4 is met by composition rather than end to end: register-side integration tests, dispatch-side tests with mutation proof, and the existing dispatcher tests, but no single test walking register → notify → dispatch. That would need the harness to wire a real UnifiedPushService in place of StubPushService.

Note that cargo audit fails on this branch with the pre-existing 10 advisories. Not a regression: the branch is cut from main, which still has nostr-sdk 0.27, and touches no dependencies. #38 resolves it.

Closes #8
Closes #4

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change adds SSRF validation for UnifiedPush endpoint tokens, request body and token size limits, and a dedicated UnifiedPush HTTP client that refuses redirects. Documentation and tests cover the new validation, response behavior, and operational policy.

Changes

Endpoint Security and Request Limits

Layer / File(s) Summary
Endpoint classification and DNS validation
src/push/endpoint_guard.rs, src/push/mod.rs
Adds static token classification, DNS-based endpoint validation, non-public address checks, and related tests.
API body and token validation
src/api/routes.rs, src/api/notify.rs
Adds per-route JSON limits, a 4096-byte token limit, uniform 400 responses, and coverage for oversized requests and endpoint cases.
Validated UnifiedPush dispatch
src/push/unifiedpush.rs, src/main.rs
Uses a dedicated client with disabled redirects and validates the endpoint before outbound POST requests.
Security and limit documentation
docs/api.md, docs/configuration.md, docs/unifiedpush.md, CLAUDE.md
Documents endpoint rules, request limits, client behavior, and the first-hop DNS limitation.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 8d323

The PR adds body limits and endpoint validation, but the current implementation can still permit some non-public IPv6 destinations, route attacker-selected URLs through proxies outside the application checks, and exhaust notification capacity during slow DNS lookups. Merge should wait for fixes or explicit security-owner acceptance.

Explanation

The request-size requirements are addressed, including endpoint-specific limits, the 4096-byte token cap, 400 responses, tests, and documentation [#8]. The core UnifiedPush SSRF protections are also present, including registration checks, dispatch-time validation, redirect refusal, rejection of non-public addresses, opaque-token preservation, and documentation [#4]. However, the provided summary does not show the required full register-to-notify-to-dispatch integration test, and registration does not resolve domain hosts as requested in the linked issue; DNS rebinding is explicitly deferred to issue #39.

Resolution

Add an integration test covering the full register -> notify -> dispatch path. Either resolve and validate domain hosts during registration as required by [#4], or update the linked issue acceptance criteria to explicitly accept the documented DNS-rebinding limitation tracked by issue #39.

P1 Badge Bound the preflight DNS lookup

When an attacker registers a hostname whose DNS server delays or drops replies, this lookup_host is not covered by the UnifiedPush client's five-second timeout. The Nostr listener awaits dispatch inline, while /api/notify holds one of its 50 semaphore permits, so slow resolutions can stall event processing or exhaust every dispatch slot for substantially longer than the intended outbound bound. Apply an explicit timeout to this lookup, ideally within the same total deadline as the subsequent request.

- There is no rate limiting on outbound UnifiedPush calls beyond what the server-wide `reqwest::Client` timeouts provide (2 s connect, 5 s total).
- The endpoint URL is fully attacker-controlled in the sense that the distributor can be any HTTP server. The shared `reqwest::Client` enforces TLS and the timeouts; the server does not pin certificates or restrict hostnames.

Bound DNS validation time.

/api/notify acquires one of 50 permits before spawning the dispatch task. The permit remains held until the task ends. Since lookup_host runs before the reqwest timeout, slow DNS resolutions can exhaust all permits and block unrelated notifications. Wrap lookup_host in a bounded tokio::time::timeout.

reqwest 0.11.27 default proxy environment variables no_proxy system-proxy feature ClientBuilder no_proxy

💡 Result:

In reqwest 0.11.27, system proxies are enabled by default and automatically respect standard environment variables [1][2]. Proxy Environment Variables Reqwest looks for the following environment variables to configure its proxy behavior [1][3]: - HTTP_PROXY or http_proxy: Proxy for HTTP connections [1][3]. - HTTPS_PROXY or https_proxy: Proxy for HTTPS connections [1][3]. - ALL_PROXY or all_proxy: Proxy for both HTTP and HTTPS connections [3]. - NO_PROXY or no_proxy: Specifies a comma-separated list of hosts that should bypass the proxy [4][5]. System Proxy Feature The system-proxy feature is enabled by default in reqwest 0.11.27, allowing the client to automatically use OS-level proxy settings on Windows and macOS [2][3]. ClientBuilder and Proxy Configuration You can control or override these automatic settings using the ClientBuilder: - Automatic System Proxy: By default, the builder includes the system proxy [6]. Adding a custom proxy or calling certain builder methods will disable this automatic behavior [1][7]. - Disabling Proxies: Calling ClientBuilder::no_proxy disables all proxies, including automatic system proxy usage [1][7]. - Manual Proxy Configuration: You can explicitly add a Proxy to the client using ClientBuilder::proxy(proxy) [7]. - No Proxy Exceptions: To define specific exclusions for a proxy, you can use the Proxy::no_proxy(no_proxy) method on the Proxy instance itself [8]. NoProxy Environment Variable Rules The NoProxy configuration (derived from the NO_PROXY or no_proxy environment variables) follows these rules [4][9]: - It checks NO_PROXY first; if unset, it checks no_proxy [4][5]. - Entries are comma-separated [4][5]. - It supports IP addresses and CIDR subnets (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24) [4][5]. - The wildcard * matches all hostnames [4][5]. - Domain names (e.g., google.com or.google.com) match that domain and all subdomains [4][5].

SSRF (CWE-918): Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

Reachability: External · Exploitability: Difficult

Disable implicit proxies for attacker-selected endpoints.

Call .no_proxy() when building the UnifiedPush client. If deployment requires a proxy, enforce the same destination policy there.

In `@src/push/unifiedpush.rs` around lines 48 - 53, Update the reqwest::Client
builder in the UnifiedPush client construction to call no_proxy(), preventing
environment-configured proxies from affecting attacker-selected endpoints. If
proxy support is required, apply the same destination restrictions to the
explicitly configured proxy instead.
