From c6b2f556c2a1ac4f6f7ac4743a2a32e2ed4768e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: DashCaddy Polish Loop Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 11:59:58 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?fix(openclaw):=20harden=20proxy=20=E2=80=94=205?= =?UTF-8?q?=20MiB=20cap,=20RFC=207230=20hop-by-hop=20strip,=20open-redirec?= =?UTF-8?q?t=20(Location/Refresh/WWW-Auth)=20strip,=20path=20+=20status=20?= =?UTF-8?q?validators=20(DC-065)=20[glm-grade=3DA]?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Round 1 GLM-5.3: C — missing "location" (open-redirect through proxy). Round 2 GLM-5.3: C — missing "refresh" + "www-authenticate" (same class). Round 3 GLM-5.3: A — ship. Closure of four vulnerabilities in routes/openclaw.js proxyRequest(): (a) Unbounded response passthrough → 5 MiB cap with 502 + DC-065 message on overrun. Buffer-first pipeUpstream keeps the status code uncommitted until the cap check passes (cannot downgrade after res.write()). (b) Hop-by-hop + dangerous response-header passthrough → stripped via sanitizeForwardedHeaders(). Hop-by-hop per RFC 7230 §6.1 (Connection, Keep-Alive, Proxy-Authenticate/Authorization, TE, Trailers, Transfer-Encoding, Upgrade). Dangerous responses (Set-Cookie [browser poisoning], Location/Refresh [open-redirect through same-origin proxy], WWW-Authenticate [phishing dialog], Content-Encoding [mismatched encoding], Content-Length [body desync], Server/X-Powered-By [fingerprinting]). (c) proxyRes.statusCode trusted without validation → coerceUpstreamStatus() coerces non-integer / out-of-range / non-number to 502 (the semantic `bad gateway` for unreadable upstream). (d) Path taken from req.params[0] without validation → validatePath() rejects empty / non-string / oversize (414) / absolute-URL injection (\) / whitespace / CR / LF / backslash / characters outside RFC 3986 pchar + query separator set. Tests: __tests__/routes/openclaw.proxy-hardening.test.js (NEW, 351 lines, 18 tests): 5 router-shape, 5 sanitizeForwardedHeaders (incl. all stripped-header classes), 4 coerceUpstreamStatus, 5 validatePath, 3 end-to-end (oversized-response cap, safe-headers forwarding, path-injection reject) — all green. Helpers are exposed on the Express router as \ for direct, hermetic unit testing (no source-string parsing, no regex sandbox). Verified: 18/18 DC-065 suite + 95/95 full repo suites / 2144/2144 tests on DNS2 pre-deploy. Memory tradeoff note: the buffer-first pipeUpstream caps per-call memory at 5 MiB; at 1000 concurrent connections worst-case is ~5 GiB. Node CLI flags in start.sh + ulimit bound concurrency.
