fix(framework,transports): use http client for outbound fetches (#7848) - #7872
Conversation
Adds two hardened HTTP clients—`NewSSRFSafeHTTPClient` and `NewPrivateNetworkHTTPClient`—that enforce SSRF protection not only at dial time but also across every redirect hop and on IP-literal destinations routed through a proxy. This closes a gap where a hostile server could use a redirect chain to probe internal addresses that the initial dial guard would never see. - `NewSSRFSafeHTTPClient` wraps `SSRFSafeDialContext` and refuses any redirect that resolves to a non-public address, caps redirect chains at five hops, and blocks redirects to non-http/https schemes. - `NewPrivateNetworkHTTPClient` wraps `PrivateNetworkDialContext` for operators whose targets live on their own network; it still refuses link-local, cloud metadata, and non-http/https redirect targets. - `newGuardedHTTPClient` is the shared assembly point: it wires the dial gate, a `CheckRedirect` hook that resolves every redirect target and runs all resolved addresses through the same policy predicate, and a `guardedProxySelector` that applies the policy to IP-literal destinations before they are handed to a proxy (where the dialer would only see the proxy address). - `IsLinkLocal` is extended to recognise IPv4 link-local addresses embedded in IPv6 transition forms: IPv4-mapped, 6to4 (`2002:a9fe:a9fe::`), NAT64 well-known and local-use prefixes (`64:ff9b::/96`, `64:ff9b:1::/48`), and the Teredo prefix (`2001::/32`), so `169.254.169.254` is still refused regardless of how it is encoded. - Tests cover: loopback entry refusal, end-to-end redirect-to-loopback refusal, redirect to link-local and NAT64-wrapped metadata addresses, non-http scheme redirects, the five-hop cap, and the private-network policy's reachability/refusal split. - [ ] Bug fix - [x] Feature - [ ] Refactor - [ ] Documentation - [ ] Chore/CI - [x] Core (Go) - [x] Transports (HTTP) - [ ] Providers/Integrations - [ ] Plugins - [ ] UI (React) - [ ] Docs ```sh go test ./core/network/... -run TestNewSSRFSafeHTTPClient go test ./core/network/... -run TestNewPrivateNetworkHTTPClient go test ./core/network/... -run TestGuardedClient go test ./core/network/... -run TestIsLinkLocal go test ./core/network/... ``` All new tests are self-contained and use `httptest.Server` for loopback targets; no external network access is required. - [ ] Yes - [x] No - Every connection made through these clients is gated at dial time **and** on each redirect hop, defeating DNS rebinding (the dialer re-resolves at connect time) and redirect-chain probing (CheckRedirect resolves and vets before following). - IPv6 transition encodings of `169.254.0.0/16` (6to4, NAT64, Teredo) are now explicitly refused by `IsLinkLocal`, preventing bypass via address encoding tricks. - Proxy routing is partially guarded: IP-literal destinations are checked before being forwarded to the proxy; hostname destinations are left to the proxy to resolve, which is consistent with how proxy-only deployments work and avoids a false sense of security from a pre-resolution that doesn't bind what the proxy connects to. - The proxy itself is operator-configured (process environment) and is still subject to the dial gate. - [x] I added/updated tests where appropriate - [x] I verified builds succeed (Go and UI)

This PR hardens the SSRF posture across several subsystems by ensuring that HTTP clients used for outbound fetches (pricing datasheets, model parameter datasheets, MCP library catalog, OAuth2 discovery/registration/token, webhook delivery, and the config API's URL accessibility check) all enforce the private-network dial policy at every connection and redirect hop, not just on the entry URL. Additionally, unauthenticated callers are blocked from test-firing webhook endpoints registered with `allow_private_network`, since the response would otherwise expose the status of private receivers on the gateway's own network.
- **`network.NewPrivateNetworkHTTPClient`** **/** **`network.PrivateNetworkDialContext`**: All outbound HTTP clients in the pricing, model-parameters, MCP library, OAuth2, and config-check paths now use the shared guarded client, which enforces the link-local/unspecified/cloud-metadata block on every dial and redirect hop rather than only on the configured entry URL.
- **`PUT /api/config`** **transport-error opacity**: Failed URL accessibility checks now return only `errURLNotReachable` to the caller; the transport detail (which can include the dialed address or a service banner) goes to the debug log only, preventing this endpoint from acting as a port-scan or banner oracle.
- **Webhook test-fire auth guard**: `POST /api/webhooks/{id}/test` now returns `403` when the caller is unauthenticated (auth bypassed) and the endpoint has `allow_private_network` set. The OpenAPI spec and webhook reference docs are updated to document this response.
- **`newPrivateDialContext`** **inlined into** **`network`** **package**: The bespoke private dialer in `framework/webhooks/client.go` is replaced with `network.PrivateNetworkDialContext`, consolidating the policy in one place and ensuring NAT64/6to4 IPv6 forms of link-local addresses are also blocked.
- **Tests**: New unit and integration tests cover redirect-to-link-local refusal for all affected fetchers, `file://` rejection over the API, transport-error opacity, and the webhook test-fire auth guard. E2E collection adds four cases for the catalog URL scheme enforcement.

**Redirect-to-link-local**: each affected fetcher has a test that spins up a loopback server redirecting to `169.254.169.254` and asserts the error contains `"link-local"`.
**Webhook auth guard**: `TestWebhookHandlerTestDeliveryRequiresAuthForPrivateEndpoints` asserts `403` for an unauthenticated test fire against a private endpoint and `200` (attempt made) for a public endpoint with the same caller.
- [x] Yes
- [ ] No
- Closes an SSRF vector where a redirect from a validated entry URL could reach cloud metadata endpoints (`169.254.169.254`, NAT64/6to4 equivalents) across pricing, model-parameter, MCP library, OAuth2, and config-check HTTP clients.
- Prevents the config URL accessibility endpoint from acting as a port-scan or service-banner oracle by returning only a generic `"url is not reachable"` error to callers.
- Blocks unauthenticated callers from using the webhook test-fire endpoint as a probe of the gateway's private network via `allow_private_network` endpoints.
