📝 Description

This PR implements SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery) protection and privacy redaction for sensitive data.

SSRF Protection (pkg/ssrf/guard.go):

  • IP blocklist for private ranges (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16, 127.0.0.0/8)
  • Cloud metadata endpoint blocking (169.254.169.254)
  • DNS rebinding protection with caching
  • Configurable allowed hosts whitelist
  • Integrated into pkg/tools/web.go

Privacy Redaction (pkg/redaction/redaction.go):

  • Auto-redacts API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS, etc.)
  • Masks passwords, tokens, and secrets
  • Partially masks emails (showing first char and domain)
  • Redacts phone numbers
  • Optional IP address redaction
  • Custom pattern support
  • Integrated into pkg/logger/logger.go

🗣️ Type of Change

  • 🐞 Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • ✨ New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • 📖 Documentation update
  • ⚡ Code refactoring (no functional changes, no api changes)

🤖 AI Code Generation

  • 🤖 Fully AI-generated (100% AI, 0% Human)
  • 🛠️ Mostly AI-generated (AI draft, Human verified/modified)
  • 👨💻 Mostly Human-written (Human lead, AI assisted or none)

Part of #782

📚 Technical Context (Skip for Docs)

  • Reference URL: OWASP Top 10, CWE-918 (SSRF)
  • Reasoning: SSRF attacks can expose internal services and metadata endpoints. Privacy redaction prevents sensitive data leakage through logs.

🧪 Test Environment

  • Hardware: PC
  • OS: Windows 11
  • Model/Provider: N/A
  • Channels: All channels (via web tools)

☑️ Checklist

  • My code/docs follow the style of this project.
  • I have performed a self-review of my own changes.
  • I have updated the documentation accordingly.

- Add SecurityConfig struct with SSRF, Audit Logging, Rate Limiting, Credential Encryption, and Prompt Injection configs
- Add environment variable support for all security settings
- Add default security settings in defaults.go
- Foundation for comprehensive security framework

Code Review: SSRF Protection and Privacy Redaction

Thanks for this comprehensive PR! The SSRF protection and privacy redaction features are valuable additions. However, I found several critical issues that need to be addressed before merging.


🔴 Critical Issues

1. Code Overlap with PR #813 - Will Cause Merge Conflicts

This PR contains identical configuration changes as PR #813:

  • SecurityConfig struct definition in pkg/config/config.go
  • Default security settings in pkg/config/defaults.go
  • DMScope default value change
  • Removal of RequestTimeout fields

Recommendation: Split out the configuration changes and depend on PR #813 being merged first.


2. DNS Rebinding Protection is Incomplete

// GetResolvedIPs returns the cached IPs for DNS rebinding protection.
// This should be used when making the actual request to ensure the IP hasn't changed.
func (g *Guard) GetResolvedIPs(host string) []net.IP {

While this function exists to return cached IPs, the actual HTTP request doesn't verify that the IP matches the cached value. An attacker could change the DNS record between the initial resolution and the actual request.

Recommendation: Use a custom Dialer to force using the cached IP addresses when making requests.


3. maskEmail Function Has Panic Risk

func (r *Redactor) maskEmail(email string) string {
    parts := strings.Split(email, "@")
    if len(parts) != 2 {
        return r.config.Replacement
    }

    local := parts[0]
    // ...
    if len(local) <= 2 {
        return string(local[0]) + "***@" + domain  // PANIC if local is empty!
    }

When local is an empty string, accessing local[0] will cause a panic.

Fix:

if len(local) == 0 {
    return r.config.Replacement
}
if len(local) <= 2 {
    return string(local[0]) + "***@" + domain
}

4. Regex Performance Regression - Recompiling on Every Call

In pkg/tools/web.go:

func stripTags(content string) string {
    re := regexp.MustCompile(`<[^>]+>`)  // Compiled on every call!
    return re.ReplaceAllString(content, "")
}

func (t *WebFetchTool) extractText(htmlContent string) string {
    re := regexp.MustCompile(`<script[\s\S]*?</script>`)  // Compiled on every call!
    // ...
}

The original code used globally pre-compiled regexes. Now they're compiled on every call, which will significantly degrade performance.

Recommendation: Restore the globally pre-compiled regex expressions.


Summary

Category Count
🔴 Critical Issues 4

Verdict: Please address these critical issues before we can proceed with the review. The most important ones are:

  1. Resolve the merge conflict with PR #813
  2. Fix the maskEmail panic risk
  3. Fix the regex performance regression

Once these are addressed, we can continue reviewing the medium-priority issues.
