What this does

googleGeminiBaseUrl is user-editable (settings, imported profiles), and the @google/genai client keeps API-key authentication for custom endpoints. Before this PR a cleartext custom base URL was accepted as-is, so the API key could be sent over an insecure endpoint (CWE-319).

This PR validates the custom endpoint before any request is built, in both createMessage and completePrompt:

  • HTTPS is required for custom Gemini base URLs.
  • Loopback HTTP stays allowed for local test proxies: http://localhost, http://[::1], and literal 127.0.0.0/8 IPv4 hosts.
  • Hostnames that merely resemble the loopback range are rejected: 127.example.test, 127.0.0.a, 127.0.a.b, 127.0.0.1.a, foo127.bar, and hosts outside the range such as 10.0.0.1.
  • Non-HTTP schemes (ftp://localhost) and malformed URLs are rejected.
  • Violations surface as a structured ApiProviderError (provider/model/operation context) before the request is built, so the key never leaves the process.

Content source

Carved out of the fork-side abort-signal provider rollout (fork PR #1303) at the maintainer's request: this endpoint policy changes which custom endpoints are accepted independently of cancellation, so separating it keeps that rollout reviewable. The helpers, guards, and security tests are ported from that rollout branch (the test block is re-nested to this file's structure); the rollout's timeout plumbing stays in that PR.

Budget

  • 2 files changed, +579 / -0 against main.
  • Production code: 66 lines in src/api/providers/gemini.ts (three module-private helpers plus two call-site guards); the remaining 513 lines are the security test matrix in src/api/providers/__tests__/gemini.spec.ts.
  • Changed executable lines are far below the CI cap; the size above the 400 soft cap is entirely test cases pinning the loopback boundary.

How to test

  1. Set googleGeminiBaseUrl to http://gemini.example.test and run any Gemini request → it fails with "Google Gemini base URL must use HTTPS (or a loopback HTTP endpoint for local test proxies)" before the request is sent.
  2. Set it to http://127.0.0.1:8080 (or http://localhost, http://[::1]) → the request proceeds against the local proxy.
  3. Focused suite from src/: vitest run --globals api/providers/__tests__/gemini.spec.ts.

Verification at this head

  • vitest run --globals --no-file-parallelism api/providers/__tests__/gemini.spec.ts api/providers/__tests__/gemini-handler.spec.ts → 63/63 passed.
  • Negative control: reverting the gemini.ts guards turns exactly the 11 reject tests red while the 5 loopback-allow tests stay green in both directions; byte-exact restore returns all green.
  • eslint --max-warnings=0 on both changed files → 0 errors / 0 warnings; suppression counts unchanged.
  • tsc --noEmit → 0 errors.
  • prettier --check → clean.

googleGeminiBaseUrl is user-editable (settings, imported profiles) and the
@google/genai client keeps API-key authentication for custom endpoints, so a
cleartext base URL would send the API key over an insecure endpoint (CWE-319).

Validate the endpoint before any request in createMessage and completePrompt:
HTTPS is required; plain HTTP is accepted only for loopback test proxies
(localhost, [::1], and literal 127.0.0.0/8 IPv4 hosts). Hostnames that merely
resemble the loopback range (127.example.test, 127.0.0.a, 127.0.0.1.a,
foo127.bar) or fall outside it (10.0.0.1) are rejected, as are non-HTTP
schemes such as ftp://localhost and malformed URLs. Violations surface as a
structured ApiProviderError before the request is built, so the key never
leaves the process.

Carved out of the abort-signal provider rollout (fork PR 1303) at the
maintainer's request so the endpoint policy can be reviewed independently of
the cancellation changes.

## Test Placement Guidance

- For a guard or validator, test the accept path and the reject path through every public entry point. A test that only rejects bad input does not prove the guard still accepts good input.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Gemini requests now reject invalid base URLs before contacting the service. HTTPS URLs are accepted; HTTP is allowed only for localhost and loopback addresses.
    • Invalid URLs, unsupported schemes, and non-loopback HTTP hosts are rejected for both streaming and prompt-completion requests. Accepted HTTP loopback addresses include localhost, ::1, and IPv4 addresses in the 127.0.0.0/8 range.

Gemini request paths now validate configured base URLs before request construction. HTTPS is accepted. HTTP is accepted only for localhost, [::1], or qualifying IPv4 loopback addresses. Tests cover accepted and rejected URLs for both operations. Repository guidance and lint configuration also set a length limit for Stryker comments.

Full details: Security Boundaries

Explanation

No changed path meets the failure condition. In src/api/providers/gemini.ts, both createMessage and completePrompt parse googleGeminiBaseUrl before building or sending a request. They allow https: or narrowly allow HTTP loopback hosts, and reject malformed URLs, other schemes, and non-loopback HTTP hosts. The URL is then passed to the client only after this check. The other changed production files alter comments or lint configuration only.

Full details: Persistence Integrity

Explanation

No changed persistence path exists. The runtime change in src/api/providers/gemini.ts only validates googleGeminiBaseUrl before generateContentStream or generateContent; it adds no state write, storage update, default propagation, rollback, or persistence operation. The other production diffs change comments, lint configuration, or remove a comment. Tests and documentation do not persist state.

Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup

Explanation

PASS. The changed executable path only adds URL parsing and early validation in GeminiHandler.createMessage and completePrompt. The guard runs before request construction and allocates no listener, watcher, timer, task, or provider resource. Other changed runtime lines only shorten comments, remove a suppression comment, or add lint configuration. No changed lifecycle path can leak a resource or duplicate work after cancellation, disposal, or restart.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

The new URL guard has focused tests for malformed input only through createMessage (src/api/providers/__tests__/gemini.spec.ts:968-1003). completePrompt also calls assertSecureGeminiBaseUrl inside its error-wrapping path (src/api/providers/gemini.ts:654-658), but no test sends a malformed URL through that public entry point. The existing completePrompt matrix covers parseable insecure URLs, not the new URL() failure branch.

Resolution

Add a focused completePrompt test for a malformed googleGeminiBaseUrl. Assert the localized completion error contains Invalid Google Gemini base URL (not a valid URL), assert generateContent is not called, and verify the wrapped telemetry error if that path is part of the contract.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description clearly explains the security issue, implementation, allowed loopback exceptions, tests, and verification results. However, it omits the required Related GitHub Issue section and the Pre-Submission Checklist, including issue linkage and documentation-impact confirmation.

Resolution

Add the required Related GitHub Issue section with an approved issue number, complete the Pre-Submission Checklist, and include the Documentation Updates section with the applicable option selected.

Current step: Required CI passed. Waiting for automated review of the latest commit.

If automated review does not start, a maintainer must restart it.

Review-state labels are managed by this workflow; do not edit them manually. community-approved is managed the same way — do not add or remove it manually. It signals a fresh community code approval for the current head as an advisory priority only; maintainer review is still required.
