+# fix(security): Block SSRF in guardrail webhook URL and require authentication on write endpoints
+
+Fixes #535
+
+## Summary
+
+The FinBot Labs guardrail webhook configuration API (`/labs/api/v1/guardrails`) allowed any **anonymous (temp-session) user** to register an arbitrary URL as their webhook target. Because the server-side `GuardrailHookService` fires an HTTP POST to that URL on every hook invocation - and a `/test` endpoint lets the caller trigger one immediately - this was a fully exploitable **unauthenticated SSRF** that could reach Redis, Postgres, cloud metadata endpoints (AWS IMDS), and any other host reachable from the server.
+
+## Root Cause
+
+Two independent weaknesses combined to create the vulnerability:
+
+| # | File | Problem |
+|---|------|---------|
+| 1 | `finbot/apps/labs/routes/guardrails.py` | All write endpoints (`PUT`, `POST /toggle`, `POST /rotate-secret`, `DELETE`, `POST /test`) used `get_session_context`, which accepts anonymous temporary sessions |
+| 2 | `finbot/apps/labs/routes/guardrails.py` | `webhook_url` was only validated for `max_length=2048` - no scheme or IP filtering at all |
+
+`validate_webhook_url()` already existed in the codebase for config validation but was never applied at the route layer.
+
+## Changes - `finbot/apps/labs/routes/guardrails.py`
+
+### 1. SSRF blocklist applied to `webhook_url` before storing
+
+```python
+# Before
+class GuardrailConfigRequest(BaseModel):
+    webhook_url: str = Field(max_length=2048)  # no URL validation
+
+# After - validation at the route level, before any DB write
+ok, err_msg = validate_webhook_url(body.webhook_url)
+if not ok:
+    raise HTTPException(
+        status_code=422,
+        detail=f"Invalid webhook URL: {err_msg}",
+    )
+```
+
+`validate_webhook_url()` resolves the hostname via DNS and rejects:
+- Loopback addresses (`127.x.x.x`, `::1`)
+- Private ranges (RFC 1918: `10.*`, `172.16-31.*`, `192.168.*`)
+- Link-local addresses (`169.254.*`, `fe80::`)
+- Any non-`http(s)` scheme
+
+### 2. All write endpoints require an authenticated (email-bound) session
+
+```python
+# Before (all 5 write endpoints)
+session_context: SessionContext = Depends(get_session_context)   # anonymous OK
+
+# After
+session_context: SessionContext = Depends(get_authenticated_session_context)  # login required
+```
+
+Endpoints changed:
+- `PUT /labs/api/v1/guardrails` - upsert config
+- `POST /labs/api/v1/guardrails/toggle` - enable/disable
+- `POST /labs/api/v1/guardrails/rotate-secret` - rotate HMAC secret
+- `DELETE /labs/api/v1/guardrails` - delete config
+- `POST /labs/api/v1/guardrails/test` - fire test hook
+
+The **read-only** endpoints (`GET /labs/api/v1/guardrails` and `GET /labs/api/v1/guardrails/activity`) remain accessible to temp sessions - they return `null` / empty arrays for users with no config, which is safe.
+
+## What Was NOT Changed
+
+- `validate_webhook_url()` itself - reused as-is from `finbot/core/data/repositories.py`
+- `GuardrailHookService` - no changes needed; the URL is validated before it ever reaches the service
+- All read endpoints - still use `get_session_context` (no sensitive write operations)
+
+## Attack Scenarios Blocked
+
+| Before fix | After fix |
+|------------|-----------|
+| Anonymous user sets `webhook_url = "http://127.0.0.1:6379/"` | 422 - blocked by SSRF check |
+| Authenticated user sets `webhook_url = "http://10.0.0.1/admin"` | 422 - private IP blocked |
+| Anonymous user calls `/test` to trigger SSRF | 401 - auth required |
+| `http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/` (AWS IMDS) | 422 - link-local blocked |
+
+## Tests
+
+### New - Route-level security tests
+
+**`tests/unit/labs/test_guardrail_route_security.py`** (new file, covers the exact lines changed by this PR)
+
+| Test class | What it asserts |
+|---|---|
+| `TestGuardrailWriteEndpointsRequireAuth` | All 5 write endpoints (`PUT`, `POST /toggle`, `POST /rotate-secret`, `DELETE`, `POST /test`) return **401** for anonymous (temp) sessions. `GET` still returns 200. |
+| `TestGuardrailWebhookUrlSsrfValidation` | 7 private/internal URLs each return **422** when submitted by an authenticated user (loopback IPv4/IPv6, RFC-1918, link-local/AWS IMDS). A public URL is accepted. |
+
+Run:
+```bash
+pytest tests/unit/labs/test_guardrail_route_security.py -v
+```
+
+### Existing - Repository / validator tests (no changes needed)
+
+`tests/unit/labs/test_guardrail_config.py` already covers:
+- `validate_webhook_url()` allows/blocks URLs correctly (production vs debug mode)
+- Repo-level `upsert()` raises `ValueError` for private IPs
+- Full CRUD, namespace isolation, toggle, rotate-secret
+
+Those tests are **not modified** - they remain green as the underlying repository logic is unchanged.
+
+### Manual smoke test
+```bash
+# Anonymous → 401
+curl -X PUT http://localhost:8000/labs/api/v1/guardrails \
+  -b "finbot_session=<temp-session>" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"webhook_url": "https://webhook.site/test", "enabled": true}'
+# → 401
+
+# Private IP (auth'd) → 422
+curl -X PUT http://localhost:8000/labs/api/v1/guardrails \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "X-CSRF-Token: <token>" \
+  -b "finbot_session=<auth-session>" \
+  -d '{"webhook_url": "http://127.0.0.1:6379/", "enabled": true}'
+# → 422 Invalid webhook URL: only public HTTPS URLs are allowed ...
+
+# Public URL (auth'd) → 200
+curl -X PUT http://localhost:8000/labs/api/v1/guardrails \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "X-CSRF-Token: <token>" \
+  -b "finbot_session=<auth-session>" \
+  -d '{"webhook_url": "https://webhook.site/my-id", "enabled": true}'
+# → 200 OK
+```
+
+## Checklist
+
+- [x] Fixes #535
+- [x] SSRF blocklist applied via existing `validate_webhook_url()` utility - no new logic
+- [x] All write endpoints now require authenticated session
+- [x] Read-only endpoints (`GET`) unchanged - no regression for anonymous users
+- [x] Route-level tests added (`test_guardrail_route_security.py`) - 401 + 422 cases
+- [x] Existing repo-level tests unmodified and still pass
+- [x] No database schema changes
+- [x] No migration required
