Summary

  • Allow the desktop CSP to connect to remote cloud runtimes over plain HTTP and WebSocket transports.
  • Keep the existing localhost and secure transport sources unchanged.
  • Add a regression test that asserts the remote runtime transport sources remain permitted.

Closes #5579

Validation

  • pnpm --dir app exec vitest run src/utils/tauriCsp.test.ts --config test/vitest.config.ts (3 passed)
  • pnpm typecheck (passed)
  • Prettier check passed.
  • The Rust formatter portion of pnpm --filter openhuman-app format:check could not run locally because cargo is not installed in the environment; CI should run the complete gate.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Security

    • Restricted RPC connections to HTTPS or local/private-network HTTP addresses.
    • Blocked public insecure HTTP URLs and URLs containing embedded credentials.
    • Prevented redirects during RPC requests.
    • Removed invalid stored RPC URLs and prevented their use.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Added validation across setup, settings, connection checks, and RPC requests.
    • Improved warnings when an RPC URL is not permitted.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Cloud RPC URL validation now applies to persistence, UI validation, boot checks, JavaScript requests, Rust transport, and CSP connection sources. Tests cover private, secure, credential-bearing, unsupported, and public cleartext URLs.

Changes

Cloud RPC security policy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared URL policy and persistence
app/src/utils/configPersistence.ts, app/src/utils/__tests__/configPersistence.test.ts
Stored RPC URLs are normalized and removed or rejected when unauthorized. Embedded credentials are rejected. Tests cover private-network URLs and credential-bearing URLs.
JavaScript RPC enforcement
app/src/services/coreRpcClient.ts, app/src/services/__tests__/coreRpcClient*.test.ts
JavaScript RPC calls validate URLs before relays, probes, and requests. Fetch requests reject redirects. Tests cover allowed HTTPS and private-network URLs and reject public HTTP and credentials.
UI and boot validation
app/src/components/BootCheckGate/..., app/src/components/settings/panels/CoreConnectionPanel.tsx, app/src/lib/bootCheck/...
Cloud URL input and boot checks reject URLs outside the shared policy. Public HTTP URLs display the warning and do not proceed.
Native transport validation and CSP coverage
app/src-tauri/src/core_rpc.rs, app/src/utils/tauriCsp.test.ts
Rust RPC entry points allow HTTPS and local/private HTTP. They reject public HTTP, credentials, and unsupported schemes. CSP tests verify required connect-src tokens and exclude unrestricted http: and ws: sources.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ff942

This localized change permits remote cloud runtime HTTP and WebSocket connections while preserving existing localhost and secure sources; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the Tauri webview Content Security Policy (CSP) to permit connecting to remote “cloud runtime” cores over plain HTTP and WebSocket (ws://), addressing macOS runtime connection failures where connect-src blocked ws://<private-ip>:<port>.

Changes:

  • Expand the desktop CSP connect-src allowlist in app/src-tauri/tauri.conf.json to include the http: and ws: scheme sources.
  • Extend app/src/utils/tauriCsp.test.ts to parse connect-src and add a regression test asserting http:/ws: are allowed.

app/src/utils/configPersistence.ts:92

  • peekStoredRpcUrl() now mutates state by deleting the stored key when the value is disallowed. That side effect is surprising for a function named “peek”, and it also contradicts the docstring’s “peek … without falling back” intent (callers may reasonably expect an observational read). Consider either (a) renaming this function to reflect that it performs validation/cleanup, or (b) keeping peekStoredRpcUrl side-effect free and doing cleanup in getStoredRpcUrl() / storeRpcUrl() only.
export function peekStoredRpcUrl(): string | null {
  try {
    const stored = localStorage.getItem(RPC_URL_STORAGE_KEY);
    if (stored && stored.trim().length > 0) {
      const normalized = normalizeRpcUrl(stored);
      if (isAllowedCloudRpcUrl(normalized)) return normalized;
      localStorage.removeItem(RPC_URL_STORAGE_KEY);
    }

app/src/components/BootCheckGate/tests/BootCheckGate.test.tsx:244

  • This test no longer asserts the key behavioral guarantee: that Continue with a public cleartext HTTP URL does not proceed to run the boot check / confirm the mode. Right now it only checks that the UI stays on the picker screen, which could still be true even if runBootCheck fires (e.g. due to a race or an async error). Add an explicit expect(mockRunBootCheck).not.toHaveBeenCalled() after clicking Continue to make the regression signal robust.
  it('rejects public HTTP cloud URLs and directs users to HTTPS', () => {
    renderGate();

    fireEvent.click(screen.getByText('Run on the Cloud (Complex)'));
    const urlInput = screen.getByPlaceholderText(/https:\/\/core\.example\.com/);
    fireEvent.change(urlInput, { target: { value: 'http://core.example.com/rpc' } });

    // The warning shows inline as soon as the public HTTP URL is typed.
    expect(screen.getByText(/traffic will not be encrypted/i)).toBeInTheDocument();

    fireEvent.change(screen.getByPlaceholderText(/Bearer token/i), {
      target: { value: 'tok-1234' },
    });
    fireEvent.click(screen.getByRole('button', { name: 'Continue' }));

    expect(screen.getByText(/traffic will not be encrypted/i)).toBeInTheDocument();
    expect(screen.getByText('Select a Runtime')).toBeInTheDocument();
  });

app/src/lib/bootCheck/index.ts:319

  • In cloud mode, invalid URLs currently return the “not allowed” reason because isAllowedCloudRpcUrl() is checked before parsing. That makes the “invalid URL” branch below effectively unreachable for malformed input (e.g. "not a url"), which is less helpful for users and for debugging. Consider parsing first (to surface “not a valid URL”), then applying isAllowedCloudRpcUrl for the policy decision.
    const normalizedUrl = normalizeRpcUrl(mode.url);
    if (!isAllowedCloudRpcUrl(normalizedUrl)) {
      logError('[boot-check] cloud mode — unauthorized URL, refusing to connect');
      return { kind: 'unreachable', reason: 'Configured cloud URL is not allowed' };
    }

app/src-tauri/src/core_rpc.rs:132

  • relay_http_rpc validates the URL and then immediately calls post_json_rpc, which performs the same validate_rpc_url check again. This double-parse/double-validation is redundant; keeping the validation in post_json_rpc alone preserves safety for all callers while avoiding duplication.
pub(crate) async fn relay_http_rpc(
    url: String,
    token: Option<String>,
    body: String,
) -> Result<RelayHttpResponse, String> {
    validate_rpc_url(&url)?;
    post_json_rpc(&url, token.as_deref(), body).await
}

Assert the required remote transport source.

This test checks localhost, HTTPS, and WSS sources. It does not assert the non-local HTTP and WebSocket source expression required for remote private runtimes. A regression that removes remote runtime access can still pass.

Assert the exact connect-src tokens required by src-tauri/tauri.conf.json. Keep the assertions that reject broad http: and ws: scheme sources.

Implemented the latest SSRF review feedback in 19de84e:

  • Disabled reqwest redirects for the native RPC relay.
  • Set redirect: 'error' on both direct browser fetch paths.
  • Added regression assertions for both browser request paths.
