To fix the problem, we should ensure that fetchAndParseMetadata does not send requests to arbitrary user‑controlled endpoints. That typically means enforcing an allow‑list of acceptable destinations and/or rejecting private/loopback addresses after resolving the hostname. Since we must avoid changing existing functionality too much and stay within this snippet, the least invasive and clearest fix is to validate the hostname (and optionally IP) before calling axios.get.
Concretely, we can:
- Parse the URL (already done) and extract
hostname. - Enforce a strict allow‑list of hostnames or patterns that are considered safe in your context. Because we cannot assume knowledge of your infrastructure, we’ll implement a small allow‑list mechanism that you can configure (e.g., allow only specific domains or suffixes).
- Optionally, resolve the hostname to an IP and reject private/loopback ranges. However, doing DNS lookups here would require
dnsand asynchronous code changes that might be more intrusive. Given the constraints, we’ll implement domain/suffix allow‑listing only, which is a standard and easily auditable mitigation and addresses the CodeQL concern.
Implementation details in this file:
- Add an
importfor Node’s built‑inurl/netis not strictly necessary since we already use the globalURLclass, and we don’t need external packages. We can implement hostname/domain checks inline. - Define a small helper
isAllowedMetadataHost(hostname: string): booleanor an inline check that:- Rejects obvious local targets (
localhost,127.0.0.1,::1). - Optionally restricts to a configurable set of allowed domains (e.g., only hosts under a certain corporate domain). Since we can’t know your real domains, we’ll make the example obviously placeholder and easy to adapt, while ensuring it still blocks typical SSRF targets.
- Rejects obvious local targets (
- After
const parsedUrl = new URL(url);, call this validation and throw if the hostname is not allowed. Keep the rest of the behavior intact.
This preserves the function’s general behavior—fetching SAML metadata from a URL—but prevents it from being used to reach arbitrary or internal endpoints.

This pull request introduces Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) protection for SAML metadata fetching.
Specifically:
fetchAndParseMetadatafunction, responsible for retrieving SAML metadata from a URL, has been updated to useaxiosand integraterequest-filtering-agent. This agent prevents the application from making unauthorized requests to internal network resources or other restricted destinations, mitigating potential SSRF vulnerabilities when processing external SAML metadata URLs.createRoutePatternutility function to correctly escape special characters in route definitions, enhancing the robustness of route pattern matching.
