Jeremy Daer 94a48aacb6 Guard push-subscription endpoints against SSRF (#265)
* Guard push-subscription endpoints against SSRF

Web push delivery POSTed to the endpoint URL a user supplied when
registering a subscription, with no scheme, host, or private-network
check -- unlike the OpenGraph unfurl path, which already routes through
the shared SSRF address policy (surfguard). Any authenticated user could
register a subscription whose endpoint pointed at an internal address and
have the server fetch it on every chat message: blind SSRF for internal
recon and reachability probing, plus a thread-pool DoS on the delivery
pool.

Validate the endpoint when the subscription is saved: it must be HTTPS,
its host must belong to a known browser push service (allowlist), and it
must resolve to a public IP. On every delivery, re-resolve the host and
pin the connection to that public IP so a later DNS rebind can't redirect
the request to an internal address. If no public IP resolves at delivery
time -- a rebind, or a subscription that predates this validation --
delivery is skipped rather than falling back to re-resolving the raw
host.

Adds model, controller, and delivery-pinning tests, plus a DNS stub
helper for deterministic resolution in tests.

* Route push endpoint guarding through RestrictedHTTP::PrivateNetworkGuard

The endpoint SSRF check already delegated its private-network classification
to surfguard, but called Surfguard.resolve_public_ips directly rather than
through RestrictedHTTP::PrivateNetworkGuard -- the hostname-in, address-out
shim #241 established as the app's single guarded-outbound entry point and
that Opengraph::Fetch resolves through. Route push resolution through the same
guard so once-campfire keeps one place that resolves and classifies outbound
addresses. Behavior is unchanged: the guard raises Violation when a permitted
host resolves only to blocked addresses (previously an empty list -> nil) and
propagates Surfguard::Unresolvable for a host that resolves to nothing; both
map to a nil endpoint IP, which fails validation and skips delivery. The
allowlist, HTTPS/443 constraints, and per-delivery IP pinning are unchanged.

* Address push-SSRF review: defer DNS off enqueue path, disable proxy on pinned path, revalidate on re-registration

- Resolve the guarded endpoint IP lazily inside WebPush::Notification#deliver
  (on the bounded delivery worker) instead of eagerly when the notification is
  built on the serial enqueue path, so a slow resolver can't stall the push job
  before any delivery starts. resolved_endpoint_ip only reads the already-loaded
  endpoint attribute, so it is safe off the AR connection.
- Pin the delivery socket with an explicit nil proxy address so http_proxy/
  https_proxy can't route the request through a proxy that re-resolves the host
  and defeats the ipaddr pin.
- Revalidate an existing subscription on re-registration so a row predating
  endpoint validation gets the same 422 as a fresh create instead of being kept
  alive by touch.
- Regression tests: resolution deferred to delivery, pin survives proxy env,
  legacy invalid row rejected with 422.

* Bound the web-push delivery queue (max_queue, not the ignored queue_size)

Concurrent::ThreadPoolExecutor takes :max_queue; :queue_size was silently
ignored, leaving the delivery backlog unbounded (max_queue: 0). A flood of
valid push subscriptions could accumulate queued deliveries without limit --
more acute now that each delivery task also resolves DNS. Using max_queue: 10000
activates the intended cap; overflow raises RejectedExecutionError under the
default :abort policy, which deliver_later already rescues (push is best-effort,
retried on the next message).

* Trim push-SSRF guard comments to match house style

Apply the review suggestions on the push-subscription SSRF guard: replace
the verbose rationale comments with terse one-liners (or drop them where
the code speaks for itself). No behavior change -- the Surfguard-shim
routing, per-delivery public-IP pin, and bounded delivery queue are
untouched.

Campfire

Campfire is a web-based chat application. It supports many of the features you'd expect, including:

  • Multiple rooms, with access controls
  • Direct messages
  • File attachments with previews
  • Search
  • Notifications (via Web Push)
  • @mentions
  • API, with support for bot integrations

Running your own Campfire instance

Campfire's Docker image contains everything needed for a fully-functional, single-machine deployment. This includes the web app, background jobs, caching, file serving, and SSL. You can use our pre-built image at ghcr.io/basecamp/once-campfire:latest, or build your own from this repo.

Deploying with ONCE

The easiest way to self-host Campfire is with ONCE. It will guide you through the initial set up and then keep your instance up to date automatically.

If you don't already have once installed, run this on the machine you want to run Campfire on:

curl https://get.once.com | sh

once will launch as soon as the install is finished.

Choose Campfire from the list of applications, follow the instructions, and ONCE will take care of the rest.

If you prefer the command line to the dashboard, you can deploy directly:

once deploy ghcr.io/basecamp/once-campfire --host chat.example.com

Deploying with Docker

If you'd rather run the Docker image yourself, you can read more about that in the self-hosting guide.

Tip

When you start Campfire for the first time, you'll be guided through a wizard to create an admin account. The email address that you enter for the admin account will be visible on the sign-in page, it's there so that people have someone to contact if they need help with their account. If that bothers you, put in any email address you want and create yourself a new admin account.

Development

You are welcome - and encouraged - to modify Campfire to your liking. Please see our development guide for how to get Campfire set up for local development.
