Conversation
…solution Fixes agentcommercekit#191 did:jwks resolution (via jwks-did-resolver) falls back to fetching an OpenID configuration document when the direct JWKS endpoint is unavailable, and follows a jwks_uri found there. Unlike did:web, where the fetch target is built deterministically from the DID string itself, this OIDC-discovered target comes from response content an attacker-controlled DID host can shape - a classic SSRF shape, since it could point at an internal service, a cloud metadata endpoint (e.g. 169.254.169.254), or other loopback/private/link-local addresses. Added url-policy.ts: isSafeFetchTarget() requires https and rejects loopback, unspecified, private (RFC1918), and link-local IPv4/IPv6 targets, including IPv4-mapped/compatible IPv6 forms (both the rare dotted-quad notation and the canonical hex-group form WHATWG URL parsing normalizes to, e.g. ::ffff:7f00:1 for ::ffff:127.0.0.1). createPolicyEnforcedFetch() wraps a FetchLike so every request it makes is checked before being allowed through. Wired into get-did-resolver.ts: every fetch the jwks resolver makes (the direct jwks.json try, the OpenID configuration fetch, and the discovered jwks_uri fetch) goes through one function, so wrapping it there covers all three call sites uniformly, matching the issue's suggested fix. Scope: implements the issue's 'default to a conservative policy' alternative rather than the fully configurable API it also sketches (allowedJwksUriHosts / allowJwksUri / allowPrivateJwksUriTargets) - keeping this a focused security fix rather than a new public configuration surface, discussable as a follow-up if wanted. Also does not protect against DNS rebinding (a hostname resolving to a disallowed IP only at connect time), which needs socket-layer enforcement a fetch wrapper can't provide - noted in the code and changeset. Tests: 26 new tests covering the IPv4/IPv6 range checks (including a decimal-encoded-IP bypass attempt, which WHATWG URL parsing already canonicalizes before my check runs) and the fetch wrapper's delegate/throw behavior, plus a reproduction of the issue's exact scenario (a cloud metadata endpoint via a discovered jwks_uri). pnpm --filter @agentcommercekit/did exec vitest run - 104/104 passing (full package, no existing test broken by the wiring change). oxlint and oxfmt clean. AI usage disclosure: this fix was developed with Claude (Anthropic) assistance - identifying the fetch-wrapping point, writing the URL policy and its tests, and verifying locally. I reviewed and understand the change: it's a pre-request hostname/IP allowlist check applied uniformly to every fetch the jwks resolver can make, closing the gap where an OIDC-discovered jwks_uri bypassed the URL policy did:web already applies to its own (differently-derived) fetch target.

🌐 Web query:
IPv4-compatible IPv6 addresses ::127.0.0.1 modern operating system connection maps to IPv4 loopback RFC 4291 deprecated
💡 Result:
IPv4-compatible IPv6 addresses, which have the format::127.0.0.1 (or more generally::/96), were defined in early IPv6 specifications to facilitate the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 [1][2][3]. These addresses are explicitly deprecated by RFC 4291 [1][4]. Modern operating systems and network implementations no longer use or support them for transition mechanisms, and they should not be used in current network deployments [1][5][3]. It is important to distinguish between this deprecated format and the standard loopback addresses used by modern systems: 1. IPv4 Loopback: The address 127.0.0.1 is the standard IPv4 loopback address [6][7]. 2. IPv6 Loopback: The address::1 is the standard IPv6 loopback address [8][7]. The deprecated IPv4-compatible IPv6 addresses were intended for automatic tunneling, a mechanism that has since been replaced by more effective strategies [9][5][3]. In contrast, IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses (::ffff:0:0/96) remain active and are widely used in dual-stack networking to represent IPv4 addresses within an IPv6-capable socket environment [10][3]. When an application on a modern operating system refers to localhost, it typically resolves to either 127.0.0.1 or::1, depending on system configuration and protocol preference, but it does not map to the deprecated IPv4-compatible address format [6][11][7].

Enforce the policy on redirects.
If the wrapped fetch follows redirects, an allowed HTTPS endpoint can redirect to an HTTP or internal URL. Validate every redirect target or reject redirects. Add a regression test that confirms the redirected target receives no request.
