coderdailyoneandClaude Fable 5 18ac388162 security: pin fetched connections to the vetted address (close DNS rebinding)
guard.get_checked previously resolved a name for the address check and then let
the client resolve it again to connect, so a ~0-TTL record could flip to
127.0.0.1 (or the metadata endpoint) between the two — the exact gap the module
docstring called out as "not covered".

Every hop now connects to the address that passed its check: the request URL
carries the vetted IP, Host keeps the original name (and explicit port) for
virtual hosting, and the sni_hostname extension keeps the TLS handshake — and
certificate verification — against the name. Literal-IP URLs are unchanged.
Redirect Locations are resolved against the logical URL, and the final logical
URL rides resp.extensions["logical_url"] so web_fetch reports the name, not the
pinned address.

Verified against a local TLS server whose cert carries only DNS:pinned.test:
the pinned request (URL=127.0.0.1, sni_hostname=pinned.test) verifies and the
server sees Host: pinned.test; the same request without the extension fails
with "IP address mismatch" — httpcore does verify certificates against
sni_hostname, not the URL host.

"""Address guard for URLs the model chooses.
`web_fetch` and `browser_read_url` take a URL straight from the model, and the model's
input is untrusted by design — it reads web pages, email and Slack messages, all of which
are documented as "data, not instructions". A page that talks the agent into fetching
`http://169.254.169.254/` or `http://127.0.0.1:11434/` turns a read-only research tool into
a probe of the machine's own network position, and `web_fetch` is `requires_approval=False`,
so no prompt ever appears.
This blocks the ranges that are only reachable *because* OpenWorker runs on the user's
machine: loopback, RFC1918 and other private space, link-local (which covers the cloud
metadata endpoint at 169.254.169.254), and the reserved/multicast blocks.
Every hop is checked, not just the first: `follow_redirects=True` otherwise lets a public
URL 302 straight to loopback, which is the standard way this filter is bypassed.
DNS rebinding is closed by connection-level pinning: `get_checked` rewrites each hop so the
client connects to the exact address that passed the check (name in Host and SNI, so virtual
hosting and certificate verification still see the name). A record with a ~0 TTL that flips
to 127.0.0.1 between the check and the connect therefore changes nothing — the client never
resolves the name itself. `check_url` alone (browser_open_url's pre-check) still carries the
resolve-twice gap, because the browser owns its own connections and cannot be pinned from here.
