Two coupled bugs that, together, cause the live 'admin.api received request
from ::1 → 403 client is not allowed to access from origin' noise on DNS2:
(1) Caddyfile 'origins' allowlist (admin 0.0.0.0:2019 block on DNS2) had
4 IPv4 entries (localhost/127.0.0.1/172.17.0.1/0.0.0.0) but no IPv6
entry. Per glibc RFC 3484 + /etc/hosts '::1 localhost', Node's
dns.lookup('localhost') returns ::1 FIRST on Linux, so an on-host
Node caller using http://localhost:2019 routes over IPv6 loopback
and produces Origin=http://[::1]:2019 — which Caddy's exact-string
match against the IPv4 entries rejects as 403. Live verified:
37 such requests in 30 minutes on DNS2 (User-Agent:node,
Sec-Fetch-Mode:cors).
(2) _httpFetch (src/utils/http.js) was broken for IPv6 literal URLs:
on Node 22, new URL('http://[::1]:2019/x').hostname === '[::1]'
(brackets preserved), but http.request({hostname}) needs the
BRACKETLESS form for actual TCP connect. Passing '[::1]' triggers
'getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND [::1]' BEFORE any Origin matching. So even
after fixing (1), a caller using the IPv6 URL form over _httpFetch
couldn't connect.
Fixes:
(1) _httpFetch computes transportHostname by stripping leading [ and
trailing ] when parsed.hostname is bracket-wrapped. transports via
bracketless form. defaultOrigin keeps bracket form so Caddy's
allowlist exact-matches. Docblock adds 'IMPORTANT — IPv6 path'
paragraph explaining the dual-form distinction.
(2) dashcaddy-installer/templates/Caddyfile.template: comment block
above admin localhost:2019 now warns operators adopting a
non-loopback bind to include http://[::1]:2019 AND
http://ip6-localhost:2019 in the origins allowlist. Comment-only
edit; template has no origins directive since loopback bind
doesn't trigger enforce_origin.
Tests (NEW utils-http-caddy-admin-ipv6-origin.test.js, 4 cases):
- template comment mentions IPv6 ([::1]/ip6-localhost/IPv6 substring)
- stripComments helper preserves template literals with // inside
(eslint no-control-regex forces non-regex split)
- end-to-end: real http server on [::1]:20191, fetchT succeeds 200,
Origin header is exactly 'http://[::1]:20191'
- end-to-end bug repro: same setup with IPv4-only allowlist returns
403 (proves the mock allowlist check actually runs)
DC-051's utils-http-caddy-admin-origin.test.js (5 cases) unchanged and
still green — the helper change is backwards-compatible for IPv4 hosts
(parsed.hostname.startsWith('[') is false for 127.0.0.1/localhost/
172.17.0.1).
Full suite: 2281/2281 (98 suites, +4 net new). ESLint clean on touched
files.
GLM-5.3 judge round 1 (35s, 3 tool calls): GRADE=A. 1 LOW polish
folded (template comment wording — 'IPv4 loopback only' → 'loopback
interface' so a reader doesn't get the wrong mental model if they
later switch to admin [::1]:2019 explicitly). No blocking issues.

# The default `admin localhost:2019` binds to the loopback interface, so
|
|
# Caddy's `enforce_origin` CSRF guard is never engaged and no `origins`
|
|
# directive is required. (Note: glibc resolves `localhost` to `::1`
|
|
# first per RFC 3484, so `admin localhost:2019` typically binds BOTH
|
|
# IPv4 and IPv6 loopback — the actionable point is that any loopback
|
|
# bind skips enforce_origin, not the exact IPv4/IPv6 split.)
|
|
#
|
|
# If a non-loopback bind is adopted later (e.g. `admin 0.0.0.0:2019 { ... }`
|
|
# so a docker container on the host's bridge can reach admin via
|
|
# 172.17.0.1:2019), the admin block MUST include an `origins` allowlist.
|
|
# On Linux, `localhost` resolves to `::1` FIRST per glibc RFC 3484 (because
|
|
# /etc/hosts has `::1 localhost`), so allowlist entries must include the
|
|
# IPv6 literal form `http://[::1]:2019` AND `http://ip6-localhost:2019`
|
|
# (the glibc alias) — `http://localhost:2019` alone will 403 every probe
|
|
# that resolves localhost to `::1`. See DC-051 + DC-069 in repo history.
