Reviewed this from the infrastructure side rather than the code side — what an SSRF out of a cloud engine pod can actually reach in our VPC. It holds up, and the DNS pinning is the part I'd have expected to be missing. The address predicate covers our real targets. Ran IMDS is the one that would have hurt most — the engine pods run with IRSA, and a node-role credential read from there is a different blast radius than a leaked API key. DNS pinning is the right call and easy to get wrong. Validating the resolved address and then handing the hostname to Three details I checked because they are the usual gaps:
One operational note, not a change request. The README already says to keep an egress policy around the engine as a second boundary. Worth stating plainly: we do not have one today. Cloud pods have unrestricted egress, so this node is currently the only thing standing between an agent and the VPC. That is an argument for landing this, and separately for a NetworkPolicy — I'll track the latter on my side rather than widen this PR. No objections. The scope discipline is good: fix, docs, and tests, nothing else. |

Requesting changes on one blocking defect. The SSRF design itself is sound and I verified the core protections work against real endpoints — the problem is a transport regression that takes out every plain-HTTP request.
Blocking: all http:// requests now fail with TypeError
Every non-TLS request through the node raises:
TypeError: HTTPConnection.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'cert_reqs'
Reproduced on requests 2.34.2 / urllib3 2.7.0 / Python 3.12.8, against real public hosts:
http://neverssl.com/ -> FAIL TypeError: HTTPConnection.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'cert_reqs'
http://example.com/ -> FAIL TypeError: HTTPConnection.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'cert_reqs'
https://example.com/ -> 200
Root cause. build_connection_pool_key_attributes returns TLS keywords regardless of scheme — for a plain-HTTP request with verify=True it returns pool_kwargs = {'cert_reqs': 'CERT_REQUIRED'}. In the normal Requests path those never reach an HTTPConnection, because urllib3's PoolManager.connection_from_pool_key strips SSL_KEYWORDS when the scheme is not https. _PinnedAddressAdapter.get_connection_with_tls_context constructs the pool directly and skips that step, so the TLS keywords land in conn_kw and are splatted into HTTPConnection.__init__ on first connect.
Why the tests miss it. Pool construction itself succeeds — the bad kwargs are only stored in conn_kw, and the failure is deferred until a socket is actually opened. test_pinned_adapter_keeps_original_https_hostname uses https and never connects, and every execute_request test mocks out _request_with_validated_addresses, so nothing in the suite exercises a real http:// connection.
Fix, verified working:
from urllib3.poolmanager import SSL_KEYWORDS
host_params, pool_kwargs = self.build_connection_pool_key_attributes(request, verify, cert)
scheme = host_params.pop('scheme')
if scheme != 'https':
for keyword in SSL_KEYWORDS:
pool_kwargs.pop(keyword, None)With that applied, all three URLs above return 200. Please add a test that actually opens an http:// connection through _PinnedAddressAdapter (a fake socket via the pinned pool is enough) so this path stops being mock-only.
What I verified as working
https://example.com/returns 200 through the pinned transport with certificate verification and SNI intact.- Pinning holds: with a resolver that answers
93.184.216.34first and127.0.0.1on a second lookup, the connection still goes to the validated public address and DNS is consulted exactly once. - Blocked as expected:
http://127.0.0.1:9/,http://localhost:9/,http://[::1]:9/,http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/. - Redirects are returned rather than followed:
http://github.com/yields301withLocation: https://github.com/. nodes/test/tool_http_request— 64 passed.ruff checkandruff format --checkclean.
Non-blocking
-
NAT64 embedding is not caught.
_is_public_address(ipaddress.ip_address('64:ff9b::7f00:1'))returnsTrue, and that address embeds127.0.0.1. Only reachable where a NAT64 gateway is present, but it belongs next to the existing::/96,sixtofour, andteredohandling. -
The guard depends on a CVE-2024-4032-patched
ipaddress. Correct classification of100.64.0.0/10,192.0.0.0/24, and friends requires Python >= 3.8.19 / 3.9.19 / 3.10.14 / 3.11.9 / 3.12.4. On an older patch releaseis_globalreturnsTruefor those ranges and the guard fails open. My 3.12.8 classifies them correctly. Given the import-timerequestsassertion already present, a matching interpreter floor or a startup assertion would be consistent. -
session.trust_env = Falsealso disablesREQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE,CURL_CA_BUNDLE, and.netrc. Deployments behind a TLS-inspecting proxy with a private CA will now fail certificate verification with no way to supply the bundle. Reasonable for a public-Internet-only tool, but it is a behavior change worth naming in the README next to the proxy note. -
No escape hatch for private destinations. Any existing pipeline pointing this node at an internal or self-hosted API, or at
http://localhost:PORTduring development, breaks with no config override. Consider an explicit opt-in such asallowPrivateNetworksdefaulting tofalse. At minimum, please call this out as a breaking change in the PR description — the current description frames the empty whitelist as the only affected case. -
_new_conntimeout handling.if self.timeout is not None: sock.settimeout(self.timeout)assumestimeoutis a number orNone, but urllib3 can set it to its_DEFAULT_TIMEOUTsentinel, andsettimeoutwould then raiseTypeError— which is not anOSError, so it escapes the retry loop entirely. Unreachable today becauseexecute_requestalways supplies a timeout, but cheap to guard. -
Test-only observation.
test_validate_public_url_rejects_disguised_loopback_hostsmocks DNS, sohttp://2130706433/passes everywhere. On Windows the real resolver does not resolve the decimal form at all and the request fails closed with a resolution error, whereas glibc does resolve it. Not a defect — just noting the test proves the classification logic, not platform resolver behavior.
Happy to re-review as soon as the http:// path is fixed.

@joshuadarron The blocking plain-HTTP regression is fixed in b3445b9 by mirroring urllib3's non-TLS pool handling and stripping I also addressed the actionable non-blocking security/compatibility findings: standard and local-use NAT64 handling, patched Python floors, custom CA bundle support, and explicit private-network behavior in the README and PR description. The deeper scan additionally found and fixed final-URL whitelist bypasses through path substitution/traversal, fragments/query data, Host overrides, and malformed whitelist entries. Local result: 117/117 node tests on Python 3.10–3.14, 35/35 docs tests, Ruff/format/gitleaks/diff checks clean. Fresh CI and CodeRabbit are running now. Please re-review when ready. |

This is the <2.8 cap again, moved from the requirements file into an import-time raise, and it is redundant. Lines 66-78 already check the real thing: get_connection_with_tls_context and build_connection_pool_key_attributes on the adapter, and ConnectionCls plus _new_conn on both pools. Those are capability checks — they pass on any urllib3 that still has the hooks and fail on any that does not, which is exactly the guarantee the pinned-address adapter needs.
The version comparison adds no safety on top of that, and it costs something real: constraints.lock currently resolves urllib3==2.7.0, and the day it moves to 2.8 with the hooks intact this node raises on import. A version bump the lock is free to make becomes a dead node, and because the raise is at module level the failure lands at load time rather than in dependency resolution — so CI does not catch it.
Please drop _has_supported_urllib3_runtime and the raise at line 90-91 and let the capability checks stand on their own.
No objection to _has_safe_ipaddress_runtime below it — that one gates on a CPython patch level that genuinely changed is_private classification, and the engine ships its own interpreter, so it is a fixed target rather than a moving one.

Fixed in a1512fd. Removed _has_supported_urllib3_runtime, its import-time raise, the now-unused urllib3 import, and the version-specific unit test. The existing capability checks and _has_safe_ipaddress_runtime guard remain. Focused result: 112 tests passed with the locked requests 2.34.2 / urllib3 2.7.0 versions; Ruff and diff checks also pass.

Summary
http://transport crash.netrccredentials disabledrequests>=2.32.4,<3and auditedurllib3>=2.7,<2.8Why
The HTTP tool previously applied its URL regex only to the original URL. A permitted public URL could redirect to an internal service, and the node did not independently reject direct private or metadata-service destinations. That made server-side request forgery possible when the tool had an empty or broad URL whitelist.
An empty URL whitelist still means all public URLs are allowed. Operators can narrow that set with URL patterns.
Compatibility note: there is intentionally no private-network override. Existing pipelines that call localhost, internal services, or self-hosted private APIs through this node will be rejected. Environment proxies and implicit
.netrccredentials are also ignored;REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLEandCURL_CA_BUNDLEremain supported. Outbound firewall or equivalent egress controls remain a required defense-in-depth boundary, including for operator-selected NAT64 prefixes that cannot be inferred from an IPv6 address alone.Follow-up to the security finding on #1974.
