Closes #4519.

Summary

providers.<name>.webSearchBridge.endpoint names the URL that receives that provider's own API key as a Bearer token when the ollama bridge backend executes a search (src/web-search/ollama-executor.ts does the fetch). Two checks stood in front of it and neither was a destination assessment:

  • providerWebSearchBridgeConfigError (src/config.ts) did new URL plus an http:/https: protocol test.
  • resolveOllamaWebSearchEndpoint (src/web-search/passthrough-bridge.ts) returned the configured value whenever originOf parsed it.

Provider baseUrl has been assessed by providerDestinationConfigError for a long time. The endpoint was not assessed at all, so endpoint: "http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data" was accepted and the provider key was sent to it.

Both boundaries now call the existing providerDestinationConfigError from src/lib/destination-policy.ts. No new classifier, and no DNS added at this boundary.

What the assessment does here, stated exactly, because the limits matter more than the headline:

  • Metadata destinations are refused unconditionally and are not waived by allowPrivateNetwork. The set is exact strings, not CIDRs: hosts instance-data.ec2.internal, metadata.azure.internal, metadata.google.internal; IPv4 169.254.169.254, 169.254.170.2, 100.100.100.200; IPv6 fd00:ec2::254; plus ::ffff:-mapped and well-known-NAT64 wrappers of those IPv4s. Decimal and hex spellings of the IMDS address canonicalize before classification, so they are closed too.
  • Loopback, localhost and private space are refused unless the provider sets allowPrivateNetwork, or its name is a registry entry that is local by definition (ollama, vllm, lm-studio, litellm). That is what keeps a self-hosted Ollama on 127.0.0.1 — or on a LAN address — working, and it is the same waiver baseUrl already honors.
  • Public and hostname destinations pass.

Why two call sites, and which one is load-bearing. They cover disjoint entry paths, and the runtime one carries the weight:

  • The management write path (POST/PUT /api/providers, local provider reload) runs providerWebSearchBridgeConfigError through providerManagementConfigError.
  • A hand-edited config.json, ocx config set and ocx config import do not. Load-time validation is configSchema.safeParse, where the field is .catch(undefined) and the superRefine assesses baseUrl only. A well-shaped block with a metadata endpoint survives into running config.

So config-time alone would leave the primary operator path open. What closes it is that resolveOllamaWebSearchEndpoint is the only reader of this field anywhere in src/, and it now refuses: a value that survives file load can no longer be spent. Config-time validation is where an operator is told why; the plan-time check is the authorization boundary. The runtime refusal discards the message and fails closed silently, which is deliberate.

I deliberately did not add the assessment to the config-file schema. .catch(undefined) would swallow it into a silent disarm, and raising it through the superRefine would turn a bad opt-in block into a hard config-load failure for a field whose existing comment says it must not trip invalid-config recovery.

I chose to widen providerWebSearchBridgeConfigError to take the provider name and the provider rather than inlining the check at its single caller, so all webSearchBridge validation stays in one function. The caller already had both values in scope; they are the same pair it passes for baseUrl.

Operator signal. A refused endpoint disarms the bridge and returns no error, because disarming is what keeps the key unspent. That silence was a real regression: a provider keyed under a CUSTOM name (for example my-ollama) pointing at a loopback endpoint used to arm, and now does not, since only the registry ids are local by default. The config file never reaches the config-time validator, so nothing else would tell the operator. resolveOllamaWebSearchEndpoint therefore emits one warning per provider and endpoint naming the remedy. The destination URL is deliberately omitted and the provider key is passed through redactSecretString, because a provider key is caller-controlled and can be token-shaped.

Residuals a reviewer should weigh

  1. A hostname endpoint that resolves to metadata or private space still passes. The synchronous classifier is literal-only by design. This residual is strictly larger than baseUrl's: baseUrl additionally gets the async providerDestinationResolvedError at management write, which the endpoint does not. Closing that gap at management write would still leave the hand-edited-file path uncovered, because the plan-time boundary is synchronous. Out of scope here by instruction; happy to follow up.
  2. Generic link-local (169.254.1.1) and 0.0.0.0 pass this classifier. Pre-existing providerDestinationConfigError behavior, identical for baseUrl.
  3. The executor still trusts plan.endpoint. runOllamaWebSearch fetches whatever string it is handed and the executor factories do not re-check. That is not a bypass today because the planner is the only production builder of plan.endpoint, but it is a one-caller invariant rather than a fetch-site guarantee. Redirects are already redirect: "manual", so the key is not followed off-endpoint.
  4. If the serving provider is named anthropic, google-antigravity or orcarouter-oauth, providerDestinationConfigError also applies its OAuth-https rule to the endpoint, and the rewritten message then mentions OAuth credentials. It only ever adds a restriction, and the bridge arms for authMode: "key" providers only, so the edge is narrow and safe.
  5. The config-time check runs regardless of backend, though endpoint is only read for backend: "ollama". Stricter than the spend path, and intentional since backend can be flipped later.

Verification

  • The local product test suite, bun run typecheck, the build and bun install were NOT RUN. This worktree has no node_modules and running them was excluded by the delivery policy for this change. No local result is cited as evidence.
  • The only proof is hosted Cross-platform CI at the exact head SHA e8b36b0e202025780e84759542a78cb1488b2333. Run id: 34781031241.
  • In place of local execution: three read-only recon passes (endpoint entry paths, exact classifier semantics, full call-site and test impact), one adversarial audit of the plan, and one adversarial counter-read of the finished patch. The audit rejected an earlier framing of the config-file decision and replaced it with the single-reader invariant above. The counter-read re-derived the compile surface, every caller, the classifier expectations behind each new test, and the send path, and returned no blockers.
  • New coverage in tests/web-search/web-search-passthrough-bridge.test.ts. Endpoint policy at plan time: metadata disarms; metadata still disarms under allowPrivateNetwork; the Aliyun address stays refused under the opt-in; a private endpoint disarms without the opt-in and arms with it; providerName: "ollama" arms both a loopback and a LAN endpoint via the registry default; the same loopback endpoint is refused under a name with no default; a public endpoint arms; and a metadata-lookalike hostname arms, pinning residual 1 as an asserted fact rather than an assumption. Config time, which had no test at all before: the metadata refusal names webSearchBridge.endpoint rather than baseUrl and persists under the opt-in; a private endpoint errors without the opt-in and passes with it; public and absent endpoints pass; and the shape check still runs before the destination check.
  • structure/runtime.md (owner of src/web-search/ per structure/INDEX.md) records the rule and the residual. No new test file, so layout.json and tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json are unchanged.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

This change is security-sensitive and requests independent review under MAINTAINERS.md. It touches no credential handling or OAuth flow: it reads a URL and a boolean and decides whether the bridge may arm. The default direction is refusal, and the one place existing behavior is preserved rather than tightened is the local-by-default registry waiver, which is required for self-hosted Ollama and matches baseUrl.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Web search bridge endpoints are now validated consistently with other provider destinations.
    • Metadata endpoints are rejected, while loopback and private-network endpoints require explicit provider permission unless locally trusted.
    • Invalid or unsafe endpoints are declined during use and reported during configuration.
    • Refused endpoints now generate a deduplicated warning with guidance for reauthorization.
  • Documentation

    • Updated runtime guidance to describe endpoint validation rules and the authorization boundary for hosted web-search passthrough.

…4519)

providers.<name>.webSearchBridge.endpoint names the URL that receives that
provider's own API key as a Bearer token when the ollama bridge backend runs a
search. Two checks stood in front of it and neither was a destination assessment:
providerWebSearchBridgeConfigError did new URL plus an http/https protocol test,
and resolveOllamaWebSearchEndpoint returned the configured value whenever originOf
parsed it. Provider baseUrl has had the real assessment for a long time; the
endpoint had none, so endpoint: "http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data" was
accepted and the key was sent there.

Both boundaries now run the existing providerDestinationConfigError. Metadata
destinations are refused unconditionally. Loopback, localhost and private space are
refused unless the provider sets allowPrivateNetwork or its name is a registry entry
that is local by definition, which is what keeps a self-hosted Ollama working.

The plan-time check is the load-bearing one, not a second opinion. A hand-edited
config file, ocx config set and ocx config import all reach configSchema only and
never call providerWebSearchBridgeConfigError, and resolveOllamaWebSearchEndpoint is
the only reader of this field in the tree, so a value that survives file load still
cannot be spent. It refuses silently by design; config-time is where the operator is
told why.

Both checks are synchronous and literal-only and resolve no DNS, so a hostname that
resolves into metadata or private space still passes. No new classifier was written
and no DNS was added at this boundary.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change applies provider destination policy to webSearchBridge.endpoint during configuration validation and Ollama endpoint resolution. It adds provider-name propagation, private-network checks, metadata-address rejection, bounded warning deduplication, and tests for validation and planning behavior.

Changes

Web-search bridge destination policy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration-time endpoint validation
src/config.ts, src/server/auth-cors.ts, tests/web-search/web-search-passthrough-bridge.test.ts
providerWebSearchBridgeConfigError now receives provider context and validates webSearchBridge.endpoint with providerDestinationConfigError. Metadata destinations are rejected, private destinations require provider authorization or a local-by-definition registry entry, and URL-shape validation remains prioritized.
Runtime endpoint authorization and warning handling
src/web-search/passthrough-bridge.ts, src/server/responses/core.ts, structure/runtime.md, tests/web-search/web-search-passthrough-bridge.test.ts
Ollama endpoint resolution now receives the provider name, applies destination policy, refuses unauthorized endpoints, and emits one deduplicated warning per provider and endpoint. Tests cover planning, warning redaction, private-network authorization, local registry behavior, public endpoints, metadata endpoints, and literal hostname classification.

P2 Badge Document the endpoint destination restrictions

The provider reference at docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/configuration/providers.md:204 still says that naming webSearchBridge.endpoint explicitly is sufficient for a noncanonical Ollama origin, but this new assessment rejects metadata destinations and silently disarms loopback/private endpoints unless allowPrivateNetwork or a local-by-default registry name applies. In particular, hand-edited configurations receive no validation message, so operators following the current documentation can enable a bridge that never runs; update the provider reference and keep translated versions consistent with these destination rules.

설명
이 PR은 열려 있는 보안 구멍 #4519를 막습니다. 지금 dev(HEAD 56c956715, 직전에 #4554 spare-budget 테스트가 들어옴)의 스냅샷에도 “webSearchBridge.endpoint가 destination policy를 건너뛴다”가 그대로 남아 있습니다. 문제는 간단합니다. providers.<name>.webSearchBridge.endpoint는 ollama 브릿지 백엔드가 검색을 돌릴 때 그 프로바이더의 API 키를 Bearer로 붙여서 보내는 URL입니다. 그런데 지금까지는 providerWebSearchBridgeConfigError가 URL 모양과 http/https만 보고, resolveOllamaWebSearchEndpointoriginOf로 파싱만 되면 그대로 통과시켰습니다. 프로바이더 baseUrl은 오래전부터 src/lib/destination-policy.tsproviderDestinationConfigError로 메타데이터/사설망을 거르는데, endpoint만 그 검사를 안 받아서 http://169.254.169.254/... 같은 값이 설정되면 키가 클라우드 메타데이터로 나갈 수 있었습니다.

고치는 방식은 새 분류기를 만들지 않고 기존 providerDestinationConfigError를 두 군데에 붙이는 것입니다. (1) 관리 API 쓰기 경로의 providerWebSearchBridgeConfigError(src/config.ts, 호출은 src/server/auth-cors.tsproviderManagementConfigError) — 여기서는 운영자에게 “왜 안 되는지” 메시지를 줍니다. (2) 계획 시점의 resolveOllamaWebSearchEndpoint(src/web-search/passthrough-bridge.ts) — 손수 고친 config.json, ocx config set, ocx config import는 스키마만 타고 관리 검증을 안 거치므로, 이 함수가 트리에서 endpoint를 읽는 유일한 곳이고 여기서 거절하는 것이 실제 권한 경계입니다. 거절은 일부러 조용히 undefined를 돌려 브릿지를 무장 해제합니다. 메타데이터는 allowPrivateNetwork로도 열리지 않고, 루프백/사설망은 옵트인 또는 레지스트리 로컬 기본값(ollama 등)이 있을 때만 통과합니다. planPassthroughWebSearchBridgeproviderName을 필수로 넣고 src/server/responses/core.ts에서 route.providerName을 넘기도록 바꿨으며, 테스트와 structure/runtime.md에 규칙·잔여 위험을 적어 두었습니다. Cross-platform CI가 헤드 SHA에서 돌아가고 있고, 일부 잡(테스트 샤드, gates, hygiene 등)은 아직 pending입니다. MAINTAINERS.md 기준으로 보안 민감 변경이라 독립 리뷰가 필요합니다.

라인 src/config.ts providerWebSearchBridgeConfigError - 에러 문구를 .replace(/^baseUrl/, "webSearchBridge.endpoint")로 고칩니다. 지금 sync 메시지는 모두 baseUrl로 시작해서 동작하지만, 나중에 destination-policy 문구가 바뀌면 필드 이름이 안 바뀌거나 반만 바뀔 수 있습니다. 메시지 조립을 정책 쪽에 넘기거나 prefix를 인자로 받는 편이 더 단단합니다.
라인 src/web-search/passthrough-bridge.ts resolveOllamaWebSearchEndpoint - 계획 시점 거절이 조용해서, 손수 설정한 메타데이터/사설 endpoint는 브릿지만 꺼지고 운영자 로그/에러가 없을 수 있습니다. 보안상 맞지만, 디버깅 힌트(내부 로그 한 줄)를 남길지 판단이 필요합니다.
경로 runOllamaWebSearch / plan.endpoint - PR이 밝힌 대로 executor는 받은 endpoint 문자열을 다시 검사하지 않습니다. 지금은 planner가 유일한 생산자이고 redirect는 manual이라 우회는 아니지만, fetch 직전에 한 번 더 검사하면 한 호출자 불변식에 덜 의존합니다.
경로 DNS residual - sync 분류만 써서 호스트명이 나중에 메타데이터/사설 IP로 풀리면 통과합니다. baseUrl은 관리 쓰기에 async providerDestinationResolvedError가 있는데 endpoint는 없습니다. PR이 범위를 의도적으로 좁힌 것이므로 후속 이슈로 열지 여부만 정하면 됩니다.
경로 CI - 헤드에서 api usage/changes/docker smoke 등은 통과했지만 test 샤드·gates·hygiene·npm-global 일부가 pending입니다. 머지 전에 초록을 확인해야 합니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

너의 추천
CI가 전부 초록이 되면 독립 리뷰 한 번 받은 뒤 dev에 머지하세요. #4519를 닫는 정직한 최소 패치이고, 스냅샷에 남아 있던 endpoint 정책 공백을 바로 없앱니다. DNS parity와 executor 재검사는 머지 후 follow-up 이슈로 남겨도 됩니다. residual을 문서·테스트로 고정한 점은 유지하세요.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Apply destination policy only to the Ollama backend.

planPassthroughWebSearchBridge reads endpoint only when backend === "ollama". The other backends use their matching sidecar credentials and ignore this field.

The current unconditional check rejects an existing configuration such as { backend: "anthropic", endpoint: "http://10.0.0.5/search" }. This configuration previously passed and does not send the provider API key to that endpoint.

Keep the URL shape check for all configured endpoints. Run providerDestinationConfigError only when parsed.data.backend === "ollama".

Proposed fix
-    const destinationError = providerDestinationConfigError(providerName, {
-      baseUrl: endpoint,
-      allowPrivateNetwork: provider.allowPrivateNetwork,
-    });
-    if (destinationError) {
-      return destinationError.replace(/^baseUrl/, "webSearchBridge.endpoint");
+    if (parsed.data.backend === "ollama") {
+      const destinationError = providerDestinationConfigError(providerName, {
+        baseUrl: endpoint,
+        allowPrivateNetwork: provider.allowPrivateNetwork,
+      });
+      if (destinationError) {
+        return destinationError.replace(/^baseUrl/, "webSearchBridge.endpoint");
+      }
     }

Adversarial security review of this PR, posted so the record exists before any merge decision. I am not approving it and I will not self-integrate it. MAINTAINERS.md line 69 requires explicit security review for credential-handling and security-boundary changes, and this endpoint receives the serving provider's API key as a Bearer token. The dev self-integration exception covers the missing second approval; it does not cover this. @Ingwannu, this one is yours.

Verdict: fail, one blocker.

A provider keyed under a non-registry name — my-ollama, local-llm — with endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:11434/api/web_search was armed before this change and now disarms with no operator-visible signal at all. The config file load at src/config.ts:684 uses .catch(undefined) and runs no error function, so the block loads cleanly, and the plan-time refusal in resolveOllamaWebSearchEndpoint discards its message by design and returns undefined. Web search simply stops. Registry ids carrying allowPrivateNetworkByDefault (ollama, vllm, lm-studio, litellm) and an explicit allowPrivateNetwork: true are unaffected, so the break lands exactly on the custom-name case, which is the common one. The fix is one operator-visible warning naming the provider and the remedy.

What held up under attack. Every literal bypass is closed by WHATWG canonicalization plus normalizeHostname: mixed-case hosts, ::1, ::ffff:127.0.0.1, hex-mapped forms, decimal 2852039166, octal 0177.0.0.1, 127.1, trailing dots, userinfo, and NAT64 64:ff9b:: embedding. Redirects are safe because the executor sets redirect: "manual". Entry-path enumeration found no route that reaches the executor unvalidated: management writes all funnel through providerManagementConfigError, and although the file-load path is not validated, resolveOllamaWebSearchEndpoint is the only reader of the field in the tree, so an unvalidated value cannot be spent. Error messages carry classification detail and the opt-in hint but never the URL or the credential.

Declared residual, not a defect to fix here. A public hostname that resolves into private or metadata space passes a literal-only check, and unlike baseUrl the endpoint gets no asynchronous providerDestinationResolvedError at management write. The plan-time boundary has to stay synchronous, so this matches the project's already-recorded rebinding residual — but it should be stated in the description rather than left for a reviewer to find.

The lane is fixing the blocker now. Once it pushes, the exact-head CI run id will be added here.

A provider keyed under a custom name, say "my-ollama", pointing at
http://127.0.0.1:11434/api/web_search armed before the destination check and
disarms after it, because only the registry ids (ollama, vllm, lm-studio,
litellm) are local by default. Two properties combined to make that invisible:
config load never runs providerWebSearchBridgeConfigError, so the block loads
cleanly, and the plan-time refusal returns undefined by design so the key stays
unspent. The operator's web search stopped working with no signal at all.

resolveOllamaWebSearchEndpoint now warns once per provider and endpoint when the
refusal is a destination decision, naming the two remedies: set
allowPrivateNetwork, or key the provider under its registry id. The planner runs
per request, so the warning is deduplicated and the dedupe set is bounded. The
destination URL is never logged and the provider key goes through
redactSecretString, since a provider key is caller-controlled.

Adds the coverage the review named as missing: a metadata endpoint survives
validateConfigCandidate intact and is then refused at plan time, which pins the
load-path behavior the whole argument rests on rather than simulating it.

Blocker fixed and re-verified. Updating the record.

Head is now e8b36b0e2. Cross-platform CI run 34781031241 completed success at that SHA. Local product suite, typecheck, build and install NOT RUN.

The fix does what the review asked and nothing more: a refused endpoint now emits one warning per provider-and-endpoint pair naming the remedy — set allowPrivateNetwork: true, or key the provider under a registry id — while the refusal itself still returns undefined, because disarming is what keeps the key unspent. The URL is deliberately omitted from the message and the provider name goes through redactSecretString, since a provider key is caller-controlled and can be token-shaped. The dedupe set is bounded at 64 and cleared rather than grown, and there is an explicit test seam because the dedupe is process-wide.

The comment above resolveOllamaWebSearchEndpoint was also corrected: it previously claimed config-time is where an operator is told why, which is not true for a hand-edited file that never reaches providerWebSearchBridgeConfigError.

Still not merging this. It remains a credential-destination change under MAINTAINERS.md line 69, and the dev self-integration exception covers a missing second approval, not the security review. @Ingwannu — the adversarial review above plus this fix is the full package; the one declared residual is that a public hostname resolving into private or metadata space passes a literal-only check, matching the project's existing rebinding residual on baseUrl.

Ten PRs landed on dev across two merge rounds run by four worktree lane threads,
each merged only after the check run's head_sha was verified against the PR head,
with post-merge dev runs 34778300807 and 34782580496 as the joint proof for each
round. #4522, #4530 and #4516 are closed with merge references after an independent
audit of every claim against the tree; eleven issues are deliberately left open with
their residuals named.

#4555 is green and deliberately unmerged: MAINTAINERS.md requires explicit security
review for a change that sends the serving provider's API key to an operator-named
endpoint, and the dev self-integration exception does not cover that review. An
adversarial review found a real silent regression there, which the lane fixed.

Records what the unit learned, including that a fresh lane worktree has no
node_modules so hosted CI is the only evidence that can exist, that a push already
queues CI so the explicit dispatch is a fallback, and that a cancelled dev run is a
concurrency artifact of the release train rather than a failure.

Names the two items still waiting on people: #4555 green and pending the security
review MAINTAINERS.md requires for a credential-destination change, and #4528 whose
only CI failure is a stale-base release version line rather than anything in its
diff. Records that the thread heartbeat was repointed to watch exactly those two and
made read-only by construction, after an audit caught an earlier draft instructing
it to close #4519 automatically on merge, which is not the verified-code-evidence
standard every other close in this unit met.

Merging this now on the explicit instruction of the project owner, who told me to use admin merge on my own judgment. Recording exactly what that does and does not change.

What was waived, stated plainly. MAINTAINERS.md line 69 requires explicit security review for credential-handling and security-boundary changes, and this endpoint receives the serving provider's API key as a Bearer token. No second maintainer reviewed it; @Ingwannu was requested and had not responded. The owner's instruction is the authority for proceeding, not a finding that the requirement did not apply. This comment exists so that fact is in the record rather than implied by an --admin flag.

What was actually verified. Cross-platform CI run 34781031241 completed success at e8b36b0e202025780e84759542a78cb1488b2333, which is the head being merged. Local product suite, typecheck, build and install were NOT RUN — in a lane worktree without node_modules they could not have run — so hosted CI at that SHA is the only evidence, and it is evidence for exactly this commit.

An adversarial security review was performed against this diff and returned fail on a real finding, which was fixed and re-verified before this merge. The finding was a silent regression: a provider keyed under a custom name such as my-ollama pointing at a loopback endpoint used to arm the bridge, and the new destination policy refused it with no operator-visible signal at all, because the config load path runs no error function and the plan-time refusal returns undefined by design. Web search would simply have stopped. The fix emits one warning per provider-and-endpoint pair naming the remedy, with the URL omitted and the provider name redacted because a provider key is caller-controlled and can be token-shaped.

The same review checked the attack surface and found the literal bypasses closed by WHATWG canonicalization plus normalizeHostname: mixed-case hosts, ::1, ::ffff:127.0.0.1, hex-mapped forms, decimal and octal IPv4, 127.1, trailing dots, userinfo, and NAT64 embedding. Redirects are safe because the executor sets redirect: "manual". Entry-path enumeration found no route reaching the executor unvalidated: management writes funnel through providerManagementConfigError, and although the file-load path is not validated, resolveOllamaWebSearchEndpoint is the only reader of the field in the tree, so an unvalidated value cannot be spent.

Declared residual, carried into dev knowingly. A public hostname that resolves into private or metadata space passes a literal-only check, and unlike baseUrl this endpoint gets no asynchronous providerDestinationResolvedError at management write. The plan-time boundary has to stay synchronous, so this matches the project's already-recorded rebinding residual rather than introducing a new class of gap.
