fix(web-search): assess the bridge search endpoint as a destination (#4519) - #4555
Conversation
…4519) providers.<name>.webSearchBridge.endpoint names the URL that receives that provider's own API key as a Bearer token when the ollama bridge backend runs a search. Two checks stood in front of it and neither was a destination assessment: providerWebSearchBridgeConfigError did new URL plus an http/https protocol test, and resolveOllamaWebSearchEndpoint returned the configured value whenever originOf parsed it. Provider baseUrl has had the real assessment for a long time; the endpoint had none, so endpoint: "http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data" was accepted and the key was sent there. Both boundaries now run the existing providerDestinationConfigError. Metadata destinations are refused unconditionally. Loopback, localhost and private space are refused unless the provider sets allowPrivateNetwork or its name is a registry entry that is local by definition, which is what keeps a self-hosted Ollama working. The plan-time check is the load-bearing one, not a second opinion. A hand-edited config file, ocx config set and ocx config import all reach configSchema only and never call providerWebSearchBridgeConfigError, and resolveOllamaWebSearchEndpoint is the only reader of this field in the tree, so a value that survives file load still cannot be spent. It refuses silently by design; config-time is where the operator is told why. Both checks are synchronous and literal-only and resolve no DNS, so a hostname that resolves into metadata or private space still passes. No new classifier was written and no DNS was added at this boundary.

The provider reference at docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/configuration/providers.md:204 still says that naming webSearchBridge.endpoint explicitly is sufficient for a noncanonical Ollama origin, but this new assessment rejects metadata destinations and silently disarms loopback/private endpoints unless allowPrivateNetwork or a local-by-default registry name applies. In particular, hand-edited configurations receive no validation message, so operators following the current documentation can enable a bridge that never runs; update the provider reference and keep translated versions consistent with these destination rules.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Apply destination policy only to the Ollama backend.
planPassthroughWebSearchBridge reads endpoint only when backend === "ollama". The other backends use their matching sidecar credentials and ignore this field.
The current unconditional check rejects an existing configuration such as { backend: "anthropic", endpoint: "http://10.0.0.5/search" }. This configuration previously passed and does not send the provider API key to that endpoint.
Keep the URL shape check for all configured endpoints. Run providerDestinationConfigError only when parsed.data.backend === "ollama".
Proposed fix
- const destinationError = providerDestinationConfigError(providerName, {
- baseUrl: endpoint,
- allowPrivateNetwork: provider.allowPrivateNetwork,
- });
- if (destinationError) {
- return destinationError.replace(/^baseUrl/, "webSearchBridge.endpoint");
+ if (parsed.data.backend === "ollama") {
+ const destinationError = providerDestinationConfigError(providerName, {
+ baseUrl: endpoint,
+ allowPrivateNetwork: provider.allowPrivateNetwork,

+ if (destinationError) {
+ return destinationError.replace(/^baseUrl/, "webSearchBridge.endpoint");

Adversarial security review of this PR, posted so the record exists before any merge decision. I am not approving it and I will not self-integrate it. MAINTAINERS.md line 69 requires explicit security review for credential-handling and security-boundary changes, and this endpoint receives the serving provider's API key as a Bearer token. The Verdict: fail, one blocker. A provider keyed under a non-registry name — What held up under attack. Every literal bypass is closed by WHATWG canonicalization plus Declared residual, not a defect to fix here. A public hostname that resolves into private or metadata space passes a literal-only check, and unlike The lane is fixing the blocker now. Once it pushes, the exact-head CI run id will be added here. |
A provider keyed under a custom name, say "my-ollama", pointing at http://127.0.0.1:11434/api/web_search armed before the destination check and disarms after it, because only the registry ids (ollama, vllm, lm-studio, litellm) are local by default. Two properties combined to make that invisible: config load never runs providerWebSearchBridgeConfigError, so the block loads cleanly, and the plan-time refusal returns undefined by design so the key stays unspent. The operator's web search stopped working with no signal at all. resolveOllamaWebSearchEndpoint now warns once per provider and endpoint when the refusal is a destination decision, naming the two remedies: set allowPrivateNetwork, or key the provider under its registry id. The planner runs per request, so the warning is deduplicated and the dedupe set is bounded. The destination URL is never logged and the provider key goes through redactSecretString, since a provider key is caller-controlled. Adds the coverage the review named as missing: a metadata endpoint survives validateConfigCandidate intact and is then refused at plan time, which pins the load-path behavior the whole argument rests on rather than simulating it.

Ten PRs landed on dev across two merge rounds run by four worktree lane threads, each merged only after the check run's head_sha was verified against the PR head, with post-merge dev runs 34778300807 and 34782580496 as the joint proof for each round. #4522, #4530 and #4516 are closed with merge references after an independent audit of every claim against the tree; eleven issues are deliberately left open with their residuals named. #4555 is green and deliberately unmerged: MAINTAINERS.md requires explicit security review for a change that sends the serving provider's API key to an operator-named endpoint, and the dev self-integration exception does not cover that review. An adversarial review found a real silent regression there, which the lane fixed. Records what the unit learned, including that a fresh lane worktree has no node_modules so hosted CI is the only evidence that can exist, that a push already queues CI so the explicit dispatch is a fallback, and that a cancelled dev run is a concurrency artifact of the release train rather than a failure.
Names the two items still waiting on people: #4555 green and pending the security review MAINTAINERS.md requires for a credential-destination change, and #4528 whose only CI failure is a stale-base release version line rather than anything in its diff. Records that the thread heartbeat was repointed to watch exactly those two and made read-only by construction, after an audit caught an earlier draft instructing it to close #4519 automatically on merge, which is not the verified-code-evidence standard every other close in this unit met.

Summary
providers.<name>.webSearchBridge.endpointnames the URL that receives that provider's own API key as aBearertoken when theollamabridge backend executes a search (src/web-search/ollama-executor.tsdoes thefetch). Two checks stood in front of it and neither was a destination assessment:providerWebSearchBridgeConfigError(src/config.ts) didnew URLplus anhttp:/https:protocol test.resolveOllamaWebSearchEndpoint(src/web-search/passthrough-bridge.ts) returned the configured value wheneveroriginOfparsed it.Provider
baseUrlhas been assessed byproviderDestinationConfigErrorfor a long time. The endpoint was not assessed at all, soendpoint: "http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data"was accepted and the provider key was sent to it.Both boundaries now call the existing
providerDestinationConfigErrorfromsrc/lib/destination-policy.ts. No new classifier, and no DNS added at this boundary.What the assessment does here, stated exactly, because the limits matter more than the headline:
allowPrivateNetwork. The set is exact strings, not CIDRs: hostsinstance-data.ec2.internal,metadata.azure.internal,metadata.google.internal; IPv4169.254.169.254,169.254.170.2,100.100.100.200; IPv6fd00:ec2::254; plus::ffff:-mapped and well-known-NAT64 wrappers of those IPv4s. Decimal and hex spellings of the IMDS address canonicalize before classification, so they are closed too.allowPrivateNetwork, or its name is a registry entry that is local by definition (ollama,vllm,lm-studio,litellm). That is what keeps a self-hosted Ollama on127.0.0.1— or on a LAN address — working, and it is the same waiverbaseUrlalready honors.Why two call sites, and which one is load-bearing. They cover disjoint entry paths, and the runtime one carries the weight:
POST/PUT /api/providers, local provider reload) runsproviderWebSearchBridgeConfigErrorthroughproviderManagementConfigError.config.json,ocx config setandocx config importdo not. Load-time validation isconfigSchema.safeParse, where the field is.catch(undefined)and the superRefine assessesbaseUrlonly. A well-shaped block with a metadata endpoint survives into running config.So config-time alone would leave the primary operator path open. What closes it is that
resolveOllamaWebSearchEndpointis the only reader of this field anywhere insrc/, and it now refuses: a value that survives file load can no longer be spent. Config-time validation is where an operator is told why; the plan-time check is the authorization boundary. The runtime refusal discards the message and fails closed silently, which is deliberate.I deliberately did not add the assessment to the config-file schema.
.catch(undefined)would swallow it into a silent disarm, and raising it through the superRefine would turn a bad opt-in block into a hard config-load failure for a field whose existing comment says it must not trip invalid-config recovery.I chose to widen
providerWebSearchBridgeConfigErrorto take the provider name and the provider rather than inlining the check at its single caller, so allwebSearchBridgevalidation stays in one function. The caller already had both values in scope; they are the same pair it passes forbaseUrl.Operator signal. A refused endpoint disarms the bridge and returns no error, because disarming is what keeps the key unspent. That silence was a real regression: a provider keyed under a CUSTOM name (for example
my-ollama) pointing at a loopback endpoint used to arm, and now does not, since only the registry ids are local by default. The config file never reaches the config-time validator, so nothing else would tell the operator.resolveOllamaWebSearchEndpointtherefore emits one warning per provider and endpoint naming the remedy. The destination URL is deliberately omitted and the provider key is passed throughredactSecretString, because a provider key is caller-controlled and can be token-shaped.Residuals a reviewer should weigh
baseUrl's:baseUrladditionally gets the asyncproviderDestinationResolvedErrorat management write, which the endpoint does not. Closing that gap at management write would still leave the hand-edited-file path uncovered, because the plan-time boundary is synchronous. Out of scope here by instruction; happy to follow up.169.254.1.1) and0.0.0.0pass this classifier. Pre-existingproviderDestinationConfigErrorbehavior, identical forbaseUrl.plan.endpoint.runOllamaWebSearchfetches whatever string it is handed and the executor factories do not re-check. That is not a bypass today because the planner is the only production builder ofplan.endpoint, but it is a one-caller invariant rather than a fetch-site guarantee. Redirects are alreadyredirect: "manual", so the key is not followed off-endpoint.anthropic,google-antigravityororcarouter-oauth,providerDestinationConfigErroralso applies its OAuth-https rule to the endpoint, and the rewritten message then mentions OAuth credentials. It only ever adds a restriction, and the bridge arms forauthMode: "key"providers only, so the edge is narrow and safe.backend, thoughendpointis only read forbackend: "ollama". Stricter than the spend path, and intentional sincebackendcan be flipped later.Verification

Config time, which had no test at all before: the metadata refusal nameswebSearchBridge.endpointrather thanbaseUrland persists under the opt-in; a private endpoint errors without the opt-in and passes with it; public and absent endpoints pass; and the shape check still runs before the destination check.structure/runtime.md(owner ofsrc/web-search/perstructure/INDEX.md) records the rule and the residual. No new test file, solayout.jsonandtests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.jsonare unchanged.Checklist
This change is security-sensitive and requests independent review under
MAINTAINERS.md. It touches no credential handling or OAuth flow: it reads a URL and a boolean and decides whether the bridge may arm. The default direction is refusal, and the one place existing behavior is preserved rather than tightened is the local-by-default registry waiver, which is required for self-hosted Ollama and matchesbaseUrl.Summary by CodeRabbit
