Summary

Fixes #191

  • Wrap did:jwks resolver fetches with URL policy validation so every target is checked, including OIDC-discovered jwks_uri values.
  • Keep did:web localhost HTTP defaults separate from did:jwks defaults, so did:jwks remains HTTPS-only by default.
  • Reject localhost, loopback, private, link-local, unspecified IPv4/IPv6 targets, including IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses.

Root Cause

did-jwks validates and builds the initial did:jwks-derived endpoints, but its OIDC fallback fetches the discovered jwks_uri directly. ACK was passing fetch through without validating those subsequent discovered targets.


Tests

Added regression coverage for rejecting:

  • http://169.254.169.254/...
  • https://[::ffff:127.0.0.1]/...
  • https://[::ffff:192.168.0.1]/...
  • https://[fe90::1]/...

Added allowed cases for safe HTTPS jwks_uri targets, including domains beginning with fd to avoid false-positive blocking.


How to Test

pnpm run format
pnpm run lint
pnpm --filter ./packages/did test
pnpm --filter ./packages/did build

Note: Full pnpm run check was attempted, but failed in unrelated packages due to Vitest worker startup/termination timeouts while running many package tests concurrently. The affected package checks above pass.


Checklist

  • Tests pass — new regression coverage for rejected and allowed targets
  • Lint/format clean
  • Follows Conventional Commits
  • Changes scoped to this fix only

Risk & Impact

Low-to-medium. The URL policy only affects OIDC-discovered jwks_uri fetches within the did:jwks resolution path — did:web's existing localhost HTTP defaults are kept separate and unaffected. Safe HTTPS targets continue to resolve normally; only localhost, loopback, private, link-local, and unspecified address ranges (including IPv4-mapped IPv6) are rejected.

Type: 🐛 Bug fix / 🔒 Security fix
Fixes: #191

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Security Enhancements

    • Added validation for JWKS endpoints to block unsafe private, loopback, link-local, and site-local network targets.
    • Enforced HTTPS and supported configurable HTTP host allowlists for JWKS retrieval.
    • Normalized hostnames before applying URL safety checks.
  • Reliability

    • Improved web resolution fetch behavior by using the platform’s default fetch implementation when needed.
    • Added coverage confirming safe endpoints resolve successfully and disallowed targets are not contacted.

JWKS URI validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolver URL policy and wiring
packages/did/src/did-resolvers/get-did-resolver.ts
The resolver validates JWKS fetch URLs, detects private and local addresses, enforces HTTPS or allowed HTTP hosts, applies default web options, and falls back to globalThis.fetch.
URL policy test coverage
packages/did/src/did-resolvers/get-did-resolver.test.ts
Tests verify rejection of disallowed OIDC jwks_uri targets and successful resolution for allowed HTTPS targets.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 96aa7

This PR adds protection for OIDC-discovered JWKS URLs, but crafted address forms and redirects can still bypass the intended private-network block and cause DID resolution to access restricted services. Smaller fetch-contract and did:web default-behavior regressions also remain, so the PR is unsafe to merge until these issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Explanation

The implementation applies URL and IP validation to OIDC-discovered jwks_uri targets, keeps did:jwks HTTPS-only by default, supports allowed hosts, and adds regression tests for unsafe and safe targets. This satisfies issue #191.

Make the returned FetchLike wrapper async

validateJwksFetchUrl calls getFetchUrl, which can throw before fetch runs. This violates FetchLike’s Promise<Response> contract and bypasses callers’ .catch() handlers. Mark the wrapper async so validation failures become promise rejections.

Merge partial webOptions and centralize the HTTP-host default.

When webOptions contains only { timeout: 1000 }, getWebDidResolver receives no allowedHttpHosts and applies []. This removes the localhost HTTP allowance from DEFAULT_WEB_OPTIONS.

-  const resolvedWebOptions = webOptions ?? DEFAULT_WEB_OPTIONS
+  const resolvedWebOptions = { ...DEFAULT_WEB_OPTIONS, ...webOptions }

DEFAULT_WEB_OPTIONS.allowedHttpHosts also duplicates the separate DEFAULT_ALLOWED_HTTP_HOSTS = [] default in web-did-resolver.ts. Reuse one default to prevent different did:web HTTP policies and future drift.

Extend the blocked IPv4 ranges and cover embedded IPv4 IPv6 forms.

0.1.2.3 and 100.64.1.1 bypass isPrivateIpv4Address. Add 0.0.0.0/8 and 100.64.0.0/10. Also apply the private-IPv4 check to IPv4-compatible and IPv4-translated IPv6 forms before the JWKS fetch proceeds.
