feat: add security hardening for ReDoS, path traversal, and SSRF

- Add input-validation.ts with regex, path, and URL validation utilities
- Validate regex patterns before RegExp creation to prevent ReDoS
- Block dangerous nested quantifiers (a+)+, (a*)+, etc.
- Prevent path traversal with directory escape detection
- Block localhost, private IPs, and non-http/https protocols for SSRF
- Add SecurityOptions for configurable validation (allowPrivateIPs, etc.)
- Include 33 security tests (unit + integration)

Fixes #362

# Security Hardening Implementation
**Date**: 2026-01-12
**OpenProject**: [#362](https://pm.hyperlocalplatform.com/work_packages/362)
**Branch**: `feature/362-security-hardening`
**Status**: Complete
## Related Documents
- Task: `docs/tasks/security-hardening-task.md`
## Summary
Implemented security hardening to address three pre-existing vulnerabilities identified in the security audit:
1. **ReDoS (Regular Expression Denial of Service)** - Malicious regex patterns could cause exponential backtracking
2. **Path Traversal** - Malicious file paths could escape intended directories
3. **SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery)** - Malicious URLs could access internal resources
## Files Modified
### New Files
| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `src/lib/input-validation.ts` | Centralized input validation utilities |
| `scripts/self-testing/security-test.ts` | 25 security unit tests |
| `scripts/self-testing/mcp-integration-test.ts` | 8 MCP integration tests |
### Modified Files
| File | Changes |
|------|---------|
| `src/tools/query.ts` | Added regex validation before `new RegExp()`, import `createSafeRegex` |
| `src/lib/parser.ts` | Added `validateSpecPath()` call, security options in `ParseOptions` |
## Implementation Details
### ReDoS Protection
- Validates regex patterns before creating `RegExp` objects
- Blocks patterns with:
- Nested quantifiers: `(a+)+`, `(a*)+`, etc.
- Excessive length (>500 chars)
- Deep nesting (>10 levels)
- Lookahead/lookbehind patterns
```typescript
// In query.ts - validation before use
if (args.pathPattern) {
const regexValidation = validateRegexPattern(args.pathPattern);
if (!regexValidation.valid) {
return errorResponse(regexValidation.error, 'validating path pattern');
}
}
```
### Path Traversal Prevention
- Validates file paths stay within allowed base directories
- Detects traversal patterns: `../`, URL-encoded (`%2e%2e`), double-encoded
- Uses cross-platform path separator (`path.sep`)
```typescript
// Uses resolve() and startsWith() check
const resolvedPath = resolve(normalize(filePath));
const isWithinAllowed = allowedBaseDirs.some(baseDir => {
const resolvedBase = resolve(baseDir);
return resolvedPath.startsWith(resolvedBase + sep) || resolvedPath === resolvedBase;
});
```
### SSRF Protection
- Validates URL protocol (http/https only)
- Blocks localhost and loopback IPs
- Blocks private IP ranges (10.x, 172.16-31.x, 192.168.x)
- Blocks link-local addresses (169.254.x)
- Configurable via `allowPrivateIPs` option
```typescript
// Blocked hostnames and IP patterns
const BLOCKED_HOSTNAMES = ['localhost', '127.0.0.1', '::1', '0.0.0.0'];
const PRIVATE_IP_PATTERNS = [
/^127\./, /^10\./, /^172\.(1[6-9]|2[0-9]|3[0-1])\./, /^192\.168\./
];
```
## Security Options
New `SecurityOptions` interface for configurable security:
```typescript
interface SecurityOptions {
allowPrivateIPs?: boolean; // Allow internal IPs (default: false)
allowedBaseDirs?: string[]; // Allowed file directories
skipUrlValidation?: boolean; // Skip URL validation for trusted sources
}
// Usage
await parseSpec('spec.yaml', {
security: { allowPrivateIPs: true }
});
```
## Test Results
### Security Unit Tests (25 tests)
```
✅ Rejects nested quantifier pattern (a+)+
✅ Rejects nested quantifier pattern (a*)+
✅ Rejects nested quantifier pattern ([a-zA-Z]+)*
✅ Rejects overly long regex patterns
✅ Allows safe regex patterns
✅ createSafeRegex returns null for dangerous patterns
✅ createSafeRegex returns RegExp for safe patterns
✅ Rejects path with ../
✅ Rejects path with encoded traversal %2e%2e
✅ Rejects path with double encoded traversal
✅ Allows paths within current directory
✅ Allows absolute paths within cwd
✅ Rejects localhost URLs
✅ Rejects 127.0.0.1 URLs
✅ Rejects private IP 10.x.x.x
✅ Rejects private IP 172.16.x.x
✅ Rejects private IP 192.168.x.x
✅ Rejects file:// protocol
✅ Rejects ftp:// protocol
✅ Allows public HTTPS URLs
✅ Allows public HTTP URLs
✅ Allows private IPs when allowPrivateIPs is true
✅ validateSpecPath correctly identifies URLs
✅ validateSpecPath rejects dangerous URLs
✅ validateSpecPath rejects path traversal
```
### MCP Integration Tests (8 tests)
```
✅ query-endpoints rejects ReDoS pattern
✅ query-endpoints accepts safe regex
✅ parseSpec rejects path traversal
✅ parseSpec rejects localhost URL
✅ parseSpec rejects private IP
✅ parseSpec rejects file:// protocol
✅ parseSpec accepts valid local file
✅ parseSpec allows private IP with allowPrivateIPs option
```
## Known Limitations
Documented in code comments:
1. **DNS Rebinding**: Hostname validation checks the hostname string, not resolved IP. For full SSRF protection against DNS rebinding, additional measures would be needed.
2. **HTTP Redirects**: The swagger-parser library follows HTTP redirects. A malicious redirect could bypass URL validation.
For MCP server use cases (local CLI tool), these are acceptable limitations with reduced attack surface.
## Security Audit Summary
| Severity | Count | Status |
|----------|-------|--------|
| Critical | 0 | - |
| High | 2 | Documented limitations (DNS rebinding, redirects) |
| Medium | 3 | Low priority for CLI tool context |
| Low | 4 | Backlog items |
## Rollback Instructions
To rollback these changes:
1. Revert the input-validation.ts file:
```bash
git checkout HEAD~1 -- src/lib/input-validation.ts
```
2. Remove validation imports and calls from parser.ts and query.ts:
```bash
git checkout HEAD~1 -- src/lib/parser.ts src/tools/query.ts
```
3. Rebuild:
```bash
npm run build
```

# Task: Security Hardening - Address ReDoS, Path Traversal, and SSRF Vulnerabilities
## Related Documents
- OpenProject: [#362](https://pm.hyperlocalplatform.com/work_packages/362)
- Branch: `feature/362-security-hardening` (from `dev`)
## Priority
HIGH
## Objective
Address pre-existing security vulnerabilities identified in the security audit: ReDoS in pathPattern regex, path traversal in file system access, and SSRF in unrestricted URL fetching. These issues pose risks to users of the MCP server.
## Definition of Done
- [x] ReDoS vulnerability mitigated with regex timeout/complexity limits
- [x] Path traversal prevented with path validation
- [x] SSRF mitigated with URL allowlist/blocklist support
- [x] TypeScript compilation CLEAN
- [x] Lint checks PASSED (no lint script configured)
- [x] ALL tests passing (33 security tests)
- [x] Manual verification completed
- [x] PROOF PROVIDED (security test cases)
## Scope
### IN SCOPE
- ReDoS mitigation in `src/tools/query.ts` pathPattern handling
- Path traversal prevention in `src/lib/parser.ts` file access
- SSRF mitigation in URL fetching (remote spec loading)
- Input validation utilities
- Security-focused test cases
### OUT OF SCOPE
- Authentication/authorization (MCP server runs locally)
- Encryption at rest
- Rate limiting (single-user CLI tool)
- Audit logging
## Sub-Tasks
### Phase 1: ReDoS Mitigation
#### 1.1 Add Regex Complexity Limits
- **Details**: Implement regex validation before creating RegExp from user input. Either use a safe-regex library or implement timeout-based execution.
- **Files**: `src/tools/query.ts`
- **Testing**: Test with known ReDoS patterns (e.g., `(a+)+$` against `aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!`)
#### 1.2 Create Input Validation Utilities
- **Details**: Create `src/lib/input-validation.ts` with reusable validation functions for regex patterns, file paths, and URLs.
- **Files**: `src/lib/input-validation.ts` (new)
- **Testing**: Unit tests for validation functions
### Phase 2: Path Traversal Prevention
#### 2.1 Implement Path Validation
- **Details**: Validate file paths to prevent directory traversal attacks (e.g., `../../../etc/passwd`). Resolve paths and ensure they don't escape intended directories.
- **Files**: `src/lib/parser.ts`, `src/lib/input-validation.ts`
- **Testing**: Test with path traversal payloads
#### 2.2 Add Configurable Base Directory (Optional)
- **Details**: Allow configuration of allowed directories for spec file access. Default to current working directory.
- **Files**: `src/lib/parser.ts`, `src/lib/input-validation.ts`
- **Testing**: Test directory restrictions
### Phase 3: SSRF Mitigation
#### 3.1 Implement URL Validation
- **Details**: Validate URLs before fetching. Block internal/private IP ranges (10.x, 172.16-31.x, 192.168.x, localhost, 127.x). Consider allowlist for known spec hosts.
- **Files**: `src/lib/parser.ts`, `src/lib/input-validation.ts`
- **Testing**: Test with internal IP addresses and localhost URLs
#### 3.2 Add URL Protocol Restrictions
- **Details**: Only allow `http://` and `https://` protocols. Block `file://`, `ftp://`, `data:`, etc.
- **Files**: `src/lib/input-validation.ts`
- **Testing**: Test with various URL protocols
## Files to Modify
- `src/tools/query.ts`: Add regex validation before `new RegExp()`
- `src/lib/parser.ts`: Add path and URL validation before spec loading
- `src/lib/input-validation.ts` (new): Centralized input validation utilities
- `src/lib/types.ts`: Add configuration types if needed
## Risks & Mitigations
| Risk | Impact | Mitigation |
|------|--------|------------|
| Breaking legitimate regex patterns | MEDIUM | Test common valid patterns, provide clear error messages |
| Blocking valid internal specs | MEDIUM | Make SSRF protection configurable, document bypass options |
| Performance impact from validation | LOW | Keep validation lightweight, cache validation results |
| Incomplete protection | HIGH | Follow OWASP guidelines, test with known attack payloads |
## Testing Strategy
- Build: `npm run build` - must pass
- Lint: `npm run lint` - must pass
- Manual testing with attack payloads:
- ReDoS: `(a+)+$`, `([a-zA-Z]+)*$` against long strings
- Path traversal: `../../../etc/passwd`, `....//....//etc/passwd`
- SSRF: `http://127.0.0.1/`, `http://localhost/`, `http://10.0.0.1/`
- Verify legitimate use cases still work:
- Local spec files (relative and absolute paths)
- Remote HTTPS specs (public APIs)
- Common regex patterns for path filtering
## Implementation Notes
### ReDoS Approach Options
1. **safe-regex library**: Detect dangerous patterns before execution
2. **Regex timeout**: Use `vm.runInNewContext` with timeout (complex)
3. **Pattern restrictions**: Limit regex features (simpler but restrictive)
Recommended: Start with pattern validation + timeout fallback.
### Path Traversal Approach
Use `path.resolve()` and verify the resolved path starts with the allowed base directory:
```typescript
const resolved = path.resolve(basePath, userPath);
if (!resolved.startsWith(basePath)) {
throw new Error('Path traversal detected');
}
```
### SSRF Approach
1. Parse URL with `new URL()`
2. Check protocol (allow only http/https)
3. Resolve hostname to IP
4. Check IP against private ranges blocklist
5. Consider DNS rebinding protection (optional, advanced)
