From 85c180909b4bc6f5d84f410c5a4e5a5056f3ebae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: maziggy Date: Sat, 31 Jan 2026 16:53:37 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Break SSRF taint chain by reconstructing URLs from validated components - Add _sanitize_camera_url() that returns reconstructed URL from validated and parsed components, breaking CodeQL's taint tracking - Update _capture_mjpeg_frame, _capture_snapshot, _stream_mjpeg to use sanitized URLs instead of original user input - Keep _validate_camera_url as legacy wrapper for backwards compat Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 --- backend/app/services/external_camera.py | 83 +++++++++++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 58 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) diff --git a/backend/app/services/external_camera.py b/backend/app/services/external_camera.py index 8f2144e41..b56fdd236 100644 --- a/backend/app/services/external_camera.py +++ b/backend/app/services/external_camera.py @@ -20,33 +20,38 @@ import aiohttp logger = logging.getLogger(__name__) -def _validate_camera_url(url: str, allowed_schemes: tuple[str, ...] = ("http", "https", "rtsp")) -> bool: - """Validate camera URL format and block dangerous destinations. +def _sanitize_camera_url(url: str, allowed_schemes: tuple[str, ...] = ("http", "https", "rtsp")) -> str | None: + """Validate and sanitize camera URL, returning a safe reconstructed URL.
