Summary

Make sure to read the contributing guidelines before submitting a PR

This PR addresses Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilities (CWE-918) identified by Snyk security scan in two Python example scripts. The vulnerabilities allowed unsanitized command-line input to flow directly into HTTP requests, potentially enabling attackers to manipulate host parameters for malicious purposes.

Changes

Added input validation to prevent SSRF attacks in:

  • examples/pydantic_models_to_grammar_examples.py
  • tools/tts/tts-outetts.py

Implementation Details

Created validate_host() function that:

  • Validates host parameter format using urllib.parse
  • Blocks invalid characters (null bytes, whitespace, @ symbols)
  • Restricts to HTTP/HTTPS schemes only
  • Provides clear error messages for invalid inputs

Security Context

Snyk Findings:

  • Rule ID: python/Ssrf
  • Severity: Medium
  • CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery
  • Affected: 3 vulnerable code paths across 2 files

Attack Vector: Malicious actors could manipulate command-line host parameters to access internal services, scan internal networks, or exfiltrate data from non-public endpoints.

Review Checklist

⚠️ Critical items to verify:

  1. Validation strictness: Does the validation properly balance security with usability? These are example scripts meant to connect to local llama-server instances.
  2. IPv6 support: Verify the validation correctly handles IPv6 addresses (e.g., [::1]:8080)
  3. Edge cases: Test with various valid hostname formats including:
    • localhost:8080
    • 127.0.0.1:8080
    • my-server.local:8080
    • http://localhost:8080 (with explicit scheme)
  4. Error handling consistency: Note the different error handling approaches between the two files (implicit vs explicit)
  5. Code duplication: The validation function is duplicated in both files rather than being shared

Testing

  • ✅ Python syntax validation passed for both files
  • ⚠️ Not tested: Integration testing with actual llama-server instances
  • ⚠️ Recommended: Manual testing with various host formats to ensure no legitimate use cases are broken

This commit addresses Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilities
identified by Snyk security scan (CWE-918) in Python example scripts.

Changes:
- Added validate_host() function to validate and sanitize host parameters
- Applied validation to examples/pydantic_models_to_grammar_examples.py
- Applied validation to tools/tts/tts-outetts.py

The validation function:
- Checks for invalid characters (null bytes, whitespace, @ symbols)
- Validates URL format using urllib.parse
- Restricts to HTTP/HTTPS schemes only
- Prevents malformed or suspicious host strings

Security Impact:
- Medium severity: Prevents attackers from manipulating host parameters
  to access internal services or scan internal networks

Snyk Findings:
- Rule ID: python/Ssrf
- CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery
- Affected files: 2 Python scripts with 3 vulnerable code paths
