Greptile Overview

Greptile Summary

This PR implements comprehensive security hardening across the web application based on a security audit by Claude 5.3.

Key Security Improvements

  • SSRF Prevention: Added urlSafety.ts module that validates server URLs to prevent Server-Side Request Forgery attacks by blocking private IPs (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16, 127.0.0.0/8, 169.254.0.0/16), localhost, and IPv6 private addresses
  • XSS Mitigation: Fixed Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities in ChatMessages.svelte by escaping HTML in markdown rendering and removing inline onclick handlers
  • Timing Attack Protection: Implemented constant-time string comparison for webhook signature verification to prevent timing-based attacks
  • Webhook Security: Added timestamp validation for Svix webhooks (5-minute max skew) to prevent replay attacks
  • Information Disclosure: Prevented error message leakage in all CLI API endpoints by logging detailed errors server-side while returning generic messages to clients
  • Tabnabbing Prevention: Added noopener to all external links to prevent reverse tabnabbing attacks
  • Cache Security: Changed cache header from no-cache to no-store for SSE streams and added Cache-Control: no-store with Vary: Authorization for all API routes
  • Security Headers: Added baseline security headers via SvelteKit hooks (X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy)

No breaking changes to existing functionality were introduced.

Confidence Score: 5/5

  • This PR is safe to merge - all changes are security improvements with no breaking functionality changes
  • Score reflects well-implemented security hardening measures following industry best practices, with no logic errors or functionality breaks detected
  • No files require special attention - all security implementations are sound
