Summary

PATCH /api/providers?name=openai fails with provider openai must equal the canonical built-in provider seed as soon as the stored provider row carries any operator overlay — most commonly selectedModels, which the Models page (/api/selected-models) writes onto the provider.

Once that happens, every field-masked write to the built-in OpenAI provider is bricked: modelContextWindows, disabled, defaultModel, headers, etc. all return 400, even though the overlays themselves were admitted by their own write boundaries and cannot widen what the forward proxy claims.

Root cause

providerManagementConfigError guards the canonical OpenAI transport/auth surface with sameCanonicalProviderSeed, an exact key-set comparison between the submitted provider and the built-in registry seed.

That strictness is right for full-object writes (POST /api/providers), where an overlay riding on a canonical seed must still be rejected.

But the merge-based write paths — PATCH /api/providers, the provider editor PUT, and the provider reload path — validate a candidate that was merged onto the persisted row. Once an overlay lands on disk, every later candidate carries that extra key and fails the exact-key check.

Fix

Add an allowOperatorOverlays mode to providerManagementConfigError that keeps the seed check strict on every key the seed defines (missing key or value mismatch still fails), while ignoring keys the seed never defines. The merge-based paths (PATCH, editor PUT, reload) opt in; POST keeps the exact-key comparison.

function matchesCanonicalProviderSeed(actual, expected) {
  return Object.keys(expected).every(
    key => Object.hasOwn(actual, key)
      && JSON.stringify(actual[key]) === JSON.stringify(expected[key]),
  );
}

Repro

saveConfig({ ...cfg, providers: {
  openai: { ...canonicalDirect, selectedModels: ["gpt-6-astra"] },
}});
// PATCH {"modelContextWindows":{"gpt-6-astra":872000}} → 400 before, 200 after
// PATCH {"baseUrl":"https://attacker.example"}      → still 400 (seed key mismatch)

Two regression tests added: selectedModels row can still PATCH modelContextWindows, and transport tampering (baseUrl override) is still rejected on the same row.

Testing

  • bun test tests/server/management-provider-validation.test.ts — 119 pass

Canonical OpenAI PATCH allows allowPrivateNetwork bypass via matchesCanonicalProviderSeed.

The matchesCanonicalProviderSeed function at lines 616–619 validates only keys present in the registry seed. Because the canonical OpenAI seed does not define allowPrivateNetwork, a PATCH request can inject allowPrivateNetwork: true without triggering the canonical seed check. This field is not deleted from the validation candidate (unlike pinnedReasoningEffort, modelCosts, requestPacing, etc.), so it passes through to persistence. Downstream code in providerDestinationConfigError and providerDestinationResolvedError then consults this persisted flag to permit private-network destination access, enabling SSRF to internal metadata endpoints or RFC 1918 addresses.

Add allowPrivateNetwork to the field deletions for canonical OpenAI before the seed comparison, and cover the PATCH path with a regression test to prevent this field from being smuggled into canonical providers.

Proposed fix
    // Same category: annotating empty tool outputs is a user-owned request-shaping preference,
    // not part of the canonical transport seed. Without this the field is accepted by
    // validation and then rejected by the seed comparison, so canonical OpenAI could never
    // set OR clear it — the value was admitted and then refused in the same request.
    delete canonicalCandidate.annotateEmptyToolOutputs;
+   // allowPrivateNetwork is an explicit operator opt-in for non-registry destinations.
+   // Canonical OpenAI must never include it; reject any attempt to smuggle it via PATCH.
+   delete canonicalCandidate.allowPrivateNetwork;

리뷰 · 우선순위 61 / 80

이 PR은 Models 페이지에서 모델을 고른 뒤(selectedModels가 provider 행에 저장된 뒤) PATCH /api/providers?name=openaimodelContextWindows 같은 필드를 바꾸려 하면 400(provider openai must equal the canonical built-in provider seed)으로 막히는 버그를 고칩니다.

지금 devproviderManagementConfigError(src/server/auth-cors.ts)는 카노니컬 OpenAI를 sameCanonicalProviderSeed키 집합까지 완전 일치시켜 검사합니다. 그 앞에서 이미 pinnedReasoningEffort, modelCosts, requestPacing, contextWindow, modelContextWindows, annotateEmptyToolOutputs 같은 오퍼레이터 오버레이는 canonicalCandidate에서 지우고 들어가는데, selectedModelsdisabled 등은 지우지 않습니다.

그래서 /api/selected-models가 한 번이라도 오버레이를 남기면, 이후 필드 마스크 PATCH·에디터 PUT·reload가 머지한 후보가 항상 여분 키를 들고 seed 비교에 걸려 설정 UI가 사실상 벽돌이 됩니다. 고치는 방향은 allowOperatorOverlays 옵션을 두고, seed가 정의한 키만 값이 같으면 통과시키는 matchesCanonicalProviderSeed를 merge 경로(PATCH / editor PUT / reload)에 켜고, 전체 객체 쓰기인 POST /api/providers는 예전 exact-key를 유지하는 것입니다.

baseUrl 같은 seed 키를 바꾸면 여전히 400이 나와야 하고, 회귀 테스트 두 개(성공 PATCH + transport tampering 거부)가 그 경계를 잡습니다. 지금 dev HEAD 0a89b416a(#4446 Devin landing plan) 기준으로도 같은 벽돌 조건이 남아 있어, 방향 자체는 현재 카탈로그와 맞습니다. 다만 이 PR은 base가 main이라 제목도 [WRONG BRANCH]이고 draft + intake: hygiene-blocked + enforce-target 실패라서, 코드 품질과 별개로 지금 상태로는 dev에 들어갈 수 없습니다.

src/server/auth-cors.ts matchesCanonicalProviderSeed - seed에 없는 키를 전부 무시합니다. 기존 스타일은 알려진 오버레이만 delete canonicalCandidate.*로 빼는 allowlist였고, 이번 방식은 미래 오버레이에는 더 튼튼하지만 seed 밖 필드가 의도치 않게 통과할 여지도 같이 넓힙니다.
src/server/auth-cors.ts providerManagementConfigError(..., options?) - POST는 옵션을 안 넘겨 exact-key를 유지한 점은 맞습니다. merge 경로만 opt-in인지 caller 전부가 의도대로인지 한 번 더 훑을 가치는 있습니다(canonicalOpenAiBudgetPatchError는 seed 위에서 만들어서 exact로 둬도 됩니다).
PR base main - 저장소 머지 트레인은 dev입니다. hygiene/enforce-target이 실패하는 1차 원인입니다.
PR draft + readiness checklist - 네 칸이 모두 비어 있어 작성자도 아직 리뷰 준비 완료로 표시하지 않았습니다.
tests/server/management-provider-validation.test.ts 새 두 케이스 - 재현과 보안 경계는 좋습니다. disabled/models 등 같은 클래스 여분 키 대표 케이스 하나 더 있으면 회귀 범위가 더 분명해집니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

  • seed 키만 검사하는 느슨한 matcher를 쓸지, 아니면 기존처럼 selectedModels/disabled(및 같은 클래스 필드)만 canonicalCandidate에서 delete하는 최소 패치를 할지
  • wrong-branch draft를 닫고 dev 재오픈을 요구할지, 작성자에게 retarget만 요청한 뒤 기다릴지
  • intake: hygiene-blocked가 풀리기 전에 코드 리뷰를 계속 진행할지

너의 추천
지금 상태로는 머지하지 마세요. 작성자에게 base를 dev로 바꾸고, latest dev에 rebase하고, draft/checklist/hygiene를 클리어하라고 요청하세요. 코드 방향(merge 경로만 overlay 허용, POST는 exact, transport tamper 테스트)은 살리되, 메인테이너가 최소 delete-list 패치를 더 선호하면 그쪽으로 좁혀도 같은 버그는 풀립니다. retarget + green 후에 다시 보면 우선순위는 유지해도 됩니다.

Tip-only CI by owner authorization for this batch. Cross-platform CI run 34744793611 concluded success on bd39d3b, the exact head merged here, and it covers every link because the lane is cumulative. #4472 and #4478 carry no ci check of their own.

…i-overlays

Lane S of the contributor carry train, released from its security-review hold.

Carries #4447 by Veritas-7: merge-based provider writes (PATCH, the provider editor, reload) no longer fail the canonical-seed comparison because a persisted operator overlay such as selectedModels rides along in the merged candidate. Seed keys stay byte-pinned and POST keeps the strict exact-key comparison.

Maintainer security review is recorded in the pull request thread and changed the outcome. The review found that the canonical OpenAI seed defines only four keys, so overlay tolerance reaches nearly every config key, and that headers was a live gap: the PATCH field mask writes it, and the forward adapter applies provider.headers to the upstream ChatGPT request before the incoming forward headers, so a persisted value wins whenever the caller omits that header. c39098b denies headers on canonical openai the way allowPrivateNetwork is denied, with a regression test that was driven red before it was accepted.

Cross-platform CI run 34748483096 concluded success on c39098ba3d98d1f2fa4c6b1c4c3f9c0e1e2f0a4b, the exact head merged here. Its first attempt failed in the select-windows-runner job with no failing step, which is a runner-allocation flake rather than a code failure; re-running the failed jobs on the same commit turned the run green, so the evidence remains exact-head.

Recorded follow-up, not blocking: the overlay tolerance is a denylist. A future provider field classified editor that touches a trust boundary would become silently reachable on the canonical row, and codexToolMode is the current example. The durable fix is an explicit overlay allowlist plus a guard test.

Closing as landed, with your fix on dev and your credit attached.

The carry is #4477, merged as 981b53e and verified as an ancestor of origin/dev. Your Co-authored-by trailer is in the landed commit itself rather than only in a description, so it counts on your contributor graph. The source branch targeted main, which is why this was carried onto dev instead of retargeted underneath you.

Your diagnosis held up under review. sameCanonicalProviderSeed really did make every field-masked write to canonical OpenAI unreachable once any operator overlay landed on the row, and selectedModels from the Models page is the one that bricks it in practice. Splitting the seed-key requirement from the extra-key requirement is the right shape, and keeping POST strict is the right boundary.

Two things changed on the way in, and one of them matters for the security story.

Your allowPrivateNetwork deny was correct and was kept — it is patchable, it disables destination DNS classification, and under overlay tolerance it would have persisted on the ChatGPT forward row.

The review found one more field in the same class that the deny did not cover. Canonical OpenAI has no registry staticHeaders, the PATCH field mask writes headers with a shallow merge, and the forward adapter applies provider.headers to the upstream request before the incoming forward headers — so a persisted header wins whenever the caller omits it. A dashboard-session PATCH {"headers":{"chatgpt-account-id":"..."}} would have ridden every subsequent ChatGPT request. Commit c39098b denies headers on canonical openai the same way and adds the PATCH regression that was missing; the test was driven red before it was accepted.

Recorded as a follow-up rather than held against this change: the tolerance is a denylist, so a future editor field touching a trust boundary would become silently reachable on the canonical row. An explicit overlay allowlist with a guard test is the durable version.

Thanks — this was a real defect and the fix was well-aimed.

…tored overlays

Carry lidge-jun#4447 from ed96552 onto origin/dev.

PATCH /api/providers, the provider editor, and reload merge onto the
persisted row. Once selectedModels (or disabled, or any other operator
overlay) is on disk, the exact-key canonical seed check rejected every
later field-masked write with "must equal the canonical built-in
provider seed". Keep that exact-key comparison for POST. Merge-based
paths now require every seed-defined key to match and ignore keys the
seed never defines.

Fold the source review finding: overlay-tolerant comparison would
otherwise let allowPrivateNetwork persist on canonical openai and
short-circuit destination DNS checks (loopback, RFC1918, metadata).
Canonical openai still rejects that field. CodeRabbit's proposed
delete-from-candidate would have allowed persistence; this rejects it.

Source PR targeted main; this carry lands on dev. The source pull
request is left alone.

Local product suite, build and install: NOT RUN.
Hosted exact-head CI on this PR is the merge proof.
