Details

This code was using node-fetch instead of the custom-built secureFetch method. secureFetch has SSRF protection built in and should be the standard used in Flowise when making fetch calls.

Summary of Changes

Hello @christopherholland-workday, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly enhances the security of the ApiChain component by migrating its HTTP request mechanism from a generic node-fetch implementation to a custom secureFetch method. This change ensures that all external API interactions performed by the ApiChain now benefit from integrated SSRF protection, making the system more resilient against potential security vulnerabilities.

Highlights

  • Enhanced Security: Replaced node-fetch with secureFetch in the ApiChain logic to incorporate built-in Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) protection for all outgoing fetch calls.

Code Review

This pull request is a good step towards improving security by replacing node-fetch with the custom secureFetch to prevent Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilities in the APIChain logic. My main feedback is to remove the now-redundant manual IP address validation to rely solely on secureFetch. Additionally, I've noticed that other chains like GETApiChain and OpenAPIChain might still be using insecure fetch methods from the base langchain library. It would be beneficial to review them as well to ensure consistent SSRF protection across the application.

By switching to secureFetch, you've introduced a centralized security check for SSRF. That's great! However, the manual check for internal networks from lines 99-108 is now redundant with the checks performed inside secureFetch (via checkDenyList). To avoid duplicated logic and rely on a single source for this security control, this manual block should be removed. This assumes that the HTTP_DENY_LIST environment variable will be configured to include these private ranges.

Leaving the check in until the team finalizes the approach on how to proceed if HTTP_DENY_LIST isn't present, as today there is no code default.
