|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### From SECURITY.md
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
#### Protected Against
|
||||
|
||||
- **Private network access** (RFC 1918: 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16)
|
||||
- **Cloud provider metadata endpoints** (AWS, Azure, GCP)
|
||||
- **Localhost and loopback addresses** (127.0.0.0/8, ::1/128)
|
||||
- **Link-local addresses** (169.254.0.0/16, fe80::/10)
|
||||
- **Protocol bypass attacks** (file://, ftp://, gopher://, data:)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Validation Process
|
||||
|
||||
All user-controlled URLs undergo:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **URL Format Validation**: Scheme, syntax, and structure checks
|
||||
2. **DNS Resolution**: Hostname resolution with timeout protection
|
||||
3. **IP Range Validation**: Blocked ranges include 13+ CIDR blocks
|
||||
4. **Request Execution**: Timeout enforcement and redirect limiting
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### From url_testing.go
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// ssrfSafeDialer creates a custom dialer that validates IP addresses at connection time.
|
||||
// This prevents DNS rebinding attacks by validating the IP just before connecting.
|
||||
// Returns a DialContext function suitable for use in http.Transport.
