From 4474ddc18910853a4b6385dbaf2510aae4e0fa2d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Molecule AI Core-DevOps Date: Sun, 10 May 2026 02:30:18 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix(workspace): add SSRF validation before writing external workspace URL MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Issue #212: POST /workspaces with runtime=external and a URL wrote the URL directly to the DB without validateAgentURL checking (the same check that registry.go:324 applies to the heartbeat path). An attacker with AdminAuth could register a workspace URL at a cloud metadata endpoint (169.254.169.254) and exfiltrate IAM credentials when the platform fires pre-restart drain signals. Changes: - workspace.go: add validateAgentURL(payload.URL) guard before the UPDATE at line 386. 400 on unsafe URL, no DB write occurs. - workspace_test.go: add 3 regression tests: - TestWorkspaceCreate_ExternalURL_SSRFSafe: safe public URL → 201 - TestWorkspaceCreate_ExternalURL_SSRFMetadataBlocked: 169.254.169.254 → 400 - TestWorkspaceCreate_ExternalURL_SSRFLoopbackBlocked: 127.0.0.1 → 400 Both unsafe tests assert zero DB calls (the handler rejects before any transaction).
