Closes #204

What and why

internal/delivery/ssrf.go hardcoded the blocked ranges with no configuration, so the thing webhooker is mostly for — taking a public webhook and forwarding it to something on your own network — could not be configured at all. Every private address, Docker sibling and loopback service was permanently unreachable as a delivery destination.

ALLOWED_EGRESS_CIDRS (comma-separated, default empty) names blocks that delivery targets may reach despite the default blocklist.

Design

It is an allowlist, never an off switch. There is no boolean and no value that disables SSRF protection wholesale. The setting only ever adds destinations to what the guard would otherwise refuse; it can never narrow what was already reachable.

With the variable unset, the guard permits and refuses what it did before, with one exception: ::a9fe:a9fe and 64:ff9b::a9fe:a9fe, the IPv4-compatible and NAT64 spellings of 169.254.169.254, were reachable before and are refused now. net.IPNet.Contains normalises only the IPv4-mapped form via To4(), so 169.254.0.0/16 never matched those two. Every other pinned entry is already inside blockedNetworks, so pinning it changes only the error text, not the decision.

No publicly routable address is pinned. Nothing in alwaysBlockedNetworks can be reopened by any allowlist, so blocking a public address there would leave an operator no escape hatch at all — the exact condition this issue exists to remove. Default-blocking Azure WireServer (168.63.129.16) and Equinix Metal (147.75.207.243) via blockedNetworks, which an allowlist can override, is tracked separately at #245 and is not implemented here.

Metadata endpoints are refused before the allowlist is consulted. They stay blocked no matter what is listed — the exact address, a supernet, 0.0.0.0/0 or ::/0. alwaysBlockedNetworks in internal/delivery/ssrf.go is the authoritative list, and each entry is named in place.

The set is built from a stated criterion rather than an open-ended sweep, so a candidate can be refused with a reason. An address belongs only if both hold:

It is a fixed address assigned by the provider, or a range reserved by IANA — never one the operator chose. That is what makes a host route free: it cannot collide with anything the operator runs.
Reaching it discloses credentials, or user data or bootstrap material — something granting onward access, or not cheaply rotated.

Both halves are load-bearing. An endpoint disclosing only the operator's own inventory (instance id, region, disks, NICs) fails (2), because letting a delivery target reach the operator's own infrastructure is the feature this variable exists to provide. And (2) is not "IAM credentials only": fd00:42::42 serves /user_data and /conf rather than tokens, and user data routinely carries bootstrap secrets. An address that fails (1) stays out however well it clears (2), since a host route inside a block operators really assign from (10.0.0.0/8) could collide with a real internal service. A publicly routable unicast address is excluded regardless, per above.

This is a criterion, not an enumeration of every metadata address in existence, and the README says so where an integrator reads it.

Six entries are ULA host routes, all inside fd00::/8 — an ordinary block for an operator to allowlist for their own IPv6 network. Without them that one line hands out cloud credentials on five providers at once (AWS appears twice: IMDS and EKS Pod Identity). Membership is derived from the address, not from vendor prose — Akamai and AWS both call their ULA endpoints "link-local" (AWS also calls fd00:ec2::23 "localhost") and fe80::/10 does not cover a ULA.

The IPv4-mapped form ::ffff:169.254.169.254 needs no entry: net.IPNet.Contains normalises via To4() first, so 169.254.0.0/16 already matches it. The refusal carries its own sentinel and says why it cannot be opened.

One decision function, both paths. All policy now lives in Guard.checkIP, which both target-creation validation (Guard.ValidateTargetURL) and the delivery dialer (Guard.NewSSRFSafeTransport) call. The two paths previously decided separately, which is how they came to disagree about a destination in #68 and #69. The guard is built once from config and injected via fx into both handlers and the delivery engine, so there is a single instance and a single answer. Delivery still re-resolves and re-checks at dial time, so DNS rebinding is refused unless the new address is also allowed.

The order in checkIP is the whole policy:

in alwaysBlockedNetworks → refused (allowlist not consulted)
in the allowlist → permitted
otherwise → the default blocklist's answer

Startup. A set-but-unparseable value aborts startup naming the variable, reusing the existing envPrefixList parser that TRUSTED_PROXIES uses — no silent fallback to empty or to a default. A non-empty list is logged at WARN with the blocks spelled out rather than counted, so an operator can read back exactly which hole is open.

README documents it with the risk stated plainly: each listed block is a network that anyone who can create a delivery target can make this process issue requests into and read the response back out of; the guidance is to list the narrowest blocks that cover real destinations; 0.0.0.0/0 or ::/0 is called out as opening every other private range at once — loopback, RFC 1918, CGNAT, ULA — a functional off switch for everything except the pinned set; and the pinned set is described by the criterion above with an explicit best-effort disclaimer rather than as a guarantee of completeness.

Tests

TestGuardAllowlist_PermittedCIDRDelivers — with 127.0.0.0/8 allowed, a loopback target both validates and delivers to a live httptest server; the same URL through the default guard still fails, so the test cannot pass without the allowlist doing the work.
TestGuardAllowlist_UnlistedPrivateStillRefused — with only 10.1.0.0/16 open, 192.168.x, 172.16.x, loopback, fc00::/7, CGNAT and the adjacent-but-outside 10.2.0.1 stay refused on both the validation and the dial path, while 10.1.2.3 is permitted.
TestGuardAllowlist_MetadataAlwaysRefused — 17 subtests covering every pinned entry plus the supernet and encoding variants. Each is refused on both the validation and the dial path under an allowlist that covers it (fd00::/8 for the ULA entries, 100.64.0.0/10 for Alibaba, 0.0.0.0/0 for 192.0.0.192, ::/0 for the IPv6 encodings). Both halves assert the metadata clause, not the bare word blocked, so a case cannot pass via the ordinary blocklist instead.
TestAlwaysBlockedNetworks_PinnedSet — pins the set entry by entry with each one named, so it cannot quietly grow or shrink.
TestGuardCheckIP_BothPathsShareOneDecision, TestGuardAllowlist_PublicUnaffected.
Config: TestAllowedEgressCIDRs (parsing, bare address, whitespace, unset, unparseable and out-of-range aborting startup) and TestEgressAllowlistWarning (silent when empty; prints the blocks when set; asserts the warning names the wider set rather than link-local only).

Whole-log counts over 20890 lines: 1061 --- PASS:, 0 --- FAIL:, 0 --- SKIP:, 0 FAIL, 0 (cached).

8 CACHED lines in the log, none of them a decisive step: #7/#8 are the two digest-pinned base-image FROM vertices, and #28-#33 are final runtime-stage layers that cache against a byte-identical binary.

Disclosure: BuildKit clipped #25 at its 2 MiB per-step limit ([output clipped, log limit 2MiB reached] at line 20848), so 16 ok package lines are visible rather than all 20; the clipped four are internal/server, internal/session, internal/signature and static. internal/delivery and internal/config, the two packages this PR changes, are both among the visible ones (ok ... 4.663s and ok ... 1.187s). The step still reports DONE 69.4s and #26/#27 ran after it, which only happens when go test ./... exits 0.

All linting ran in the pinned golangci-lint:v2.12.2 container; nothing was linted on the host. docker ps -a shows no containers and no image of mine survives. No prune was run.

Not relied on: the CI check mark, per #119.

Notes

TODO.md and .golangci.yml deliberately untouched, per #112.
Pre-existing and not touched here: the lint run emits The linter 'gomodguard' is deprecated (since v2.12.0) ... Replaced by gomodguard_v2. It is on next already and is outside this issue's scope.
README correction since the last review round: two passages still claimed public addresses were blocked by default, which stopped being true when 168.63.129.16 and 147.75.207.243 were removed from alwaysBlockedNetworks. Both now match the code and the rest of the section — the pinned table holds no public address, and blockedNetworks holds no publicly routable unicast range. The ULA half of the security-summary clause was true and was kept.

Add an egress CIDR allowlist to the SSRF guard (closes #204 )

check / check (push) Successful in 5m25s

Details

71a3c3cf75

The SSRF blocklist had no escape hatch, so the thing webhooker is
mostly for — taking a public webhook and forwarding it to something
on your own network — could not be configured at all. Every private
address, Docker sibling and loopback service was permanently
unreachable as a delivery destination.

ALLOWED_EGRESS_CIDRS (default empty) names blocks that delivery
targets may reach despite the default blocklist. It is an allowlist
and only ever adds destinations: there is no boolean, and no value
disables SSRF protection wholesale. Empty, the guard behaves exactly
as before.

Link-local (169.254.0.0/16, fe80::/10) is refused before the
allowlist is consulted, so no supplied CIDR can open it — not the
exact address, not a supernet, not 0.0.0.0/0. Reaching cloud
instance metadata is credential theft rather than delivery to an
internal service.

The policy now lives in one function, Guard.checkIP, which both
target-creation validation and the delivery dialer call. The two
paths previously decided separately, which is how they came to
disagree about a destination. The guard is built once from config
and injected via fx into both the handlers and the delivery engine,
so there is a single instance and a single answer.

A set-but-unparseable value aborts startup naming the variable,
reusing the existing envPrefixList parser. A non-empty list is
logged at startup with the blocks spelled out, not counted, so the
hole is visible in the log of any deployment that has one.

Tests: an allowlisted loopback CIDR both validates and delivers to a
live server (and the same URL still fails without the allowlist); a
private address outside the listed block stays refused on both
paths; metadata stays refused under six different covering CIDRs;
public addresses are unaffected either way; and config coverage for
parsing, startup abort, and the warning's contents.

PASS — satisfies every item in the definition of done on #204; independently re-run cache-defeated gate is green (lint stage golangci-lint run 78.1s / 0 issues., make fmt-check 4.6s, make test 104.2s, make build 79.1s, 15 ok packages, zero (cached) lines), tree and commit carry no attribution trailers, TODO.md untouched, base is next, fast-forwards cleanly.

Disclosures and anomalies, none blocking:

0.0.0.0/0 plus ::/0 is a functional off switch for everything except link-local. Asked to report either way: it is explicit, an operator has to type the whole internet, it is exercised by TestGuardAllowlist_MetadataAlwaysRefused, and there is no boolean, so the DoD constraint holds. But README mentions 0.0.0.0/0 only inside the "It cannot open link-local" bullet, where in isolation it reads as reassurance about that value. Consider one clause elsewhere saying plainly that 0.0.0.0/0 opens every other private and reserved range.
IPv6 cloud metadata is openable. alwaysBlockedNetworks is 169.254.0.0/16 and fe80::/10 only. AWS's IPv6 IMDS endpoint is fd00:ec2::254, which sits in fc00::/7 — reachable if an operator allowlists their own ULA block (fd00::/8 is a plausible entry). Alibaba's 100.100.100.200 is likewise inside CGNAT 100.64.0.0/10. The DoD names only the link-local metadata range, so this is not a failure, but internal/delivery/ssrf.go:83-86 and README's "That range serves cloud instance metadata" read as a stronger guarantee than the code gives. Suggest either adding fd00:ec2::254/128 to alwaysBlockedNetworks or a README caveat, as a follow-up.
Ordering bypass probes, all clean. ::ffff:169.254.169.254 is refused: net.IPNet.Contains normalises via To4() before comparison, so the mapped form matches 169.254.0.0/16 in checkIP's first branch, ahead of the allowlist. Untested in the suite though — worth a case in TestGuardAllowlist_MetadataAlwaysRefused. Pre-existing and not introduced here: ::a9fe:a9fe (deprecated IPv4-compatible) and 64:ff9b::a9fe:a9fe (NAT64 well-known prefix) are in no entry of blockedNetworks at all, so they pass the guard with or without this change; neither routes on a stock Linux host without a NAT64 gateway.
Whitespace-only and empty-entry values do not abort. envPrefixList trims and returns an empty list for " ", and skips empty entries in "10.0.0.0/8,,". Both fail closed (guard fully on) and both are the pre-existing shared behaviour that TRUSTED_PROXIES already relies on, so not the silent-insecure-default defect. Untested for ALLOWED_EGRESS_CIDRS. A single bad entry in an otherwise good list does abort, naming the variable, and is tested.
CI on 71a3c3c is pending / "Waiting to run", not green — no runner has picked it up. The verdict rests on my own container gate, not on the check mark.

Verified and correct: one Guard instance via fx into both handlers and the delivery engine; h.ssrf.ValidateTargetURL is the only production validation caller and Guard.NewSSRFSafeTransport the only transport construction; clientForConfig reuses that transport for per-target timeouts; both HTTP and Slack targets route through buildURLTargetConfig and the same shared client; dial-time ssrfDialContext checks every resolved address and then dials ips[0] literally, so the connected IP is the checked IP rather than a fresh resolution; redirects reuse the guarded transport; fe80::/10 is wired into alwaysBlockedNetworks, pinned by TestAlwaysBlockedNetworks_AreLinkLocal and exercised by the ::/0 + fe80::1 case, and blocks nothing that was previously reachable; test precision is real (10.1.0.0/16 allowed, adjacent 10.2.0.1 refused on both paths); TestGuardAllowlist_PublicUnaffected now asserts a public address is permitted, replacing the inverted earlier assertion.

PASS — satisfies every item in the definition of done on https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/webhooker/issues/204; independently re-run cache-defeated gate is green (lint stage `golangci-lint run` 78.1s / `0 issues.`, `make fmt-check` 4.6s, `make test` 104.2s, `make build` 79.1s, 15 `ok` packages, zero `(cached)` lines), tree and commit carry no attribution trailers, `TODO.md` untouched, base is `next`, fast-forwards cleanly.

Verified and correct: one `Guard` instance via fx into both `handlers` and the delivery engine; `h.ssrf.ValidateTargetURL` is the only production validation caller and `Guard.NewSSRFSafeTransport` the only transport construction; `clientForConfig` reuses that transport for per-target timeouts; both HTTP and Slack targets route through `buildURLTargetConfig` and the same shared client; dial-time `ssrfDialContext` checks every resolved address and then dials `ips[0]` literally, so the connected IP is the checked IP rather than a fresh resolution; redirects reuse the guarded transport; `fe80::/10` is wired into `alwaysBlockedNetworks`, pinned by `TestAlwaysBlockedNetworks_AreLinkLocal` and exercised by the `::/0` + `fe80::1` case, and blocks nothing that was previously reachable; test precision is real (`10.1.0.0/16` allowed, adjacent `10.2.0.1` refused on both paths); `TestGuardAllowlist_PublicUnaffected` now asserts a public address is permitted, replacing the inverted earlier assertion.

Reworked against review findings 2, 3 and 1. Single commit, force-pushed, rebased onto next at a13e5b7. PR body updated where it was now inaccurate.

Finding 2 (IPv6/CGNAT metadata openable) — fixed. alwaysBlockedNetworks in internal/delivery/ssrf.go grows from two entries to six. Added as host routes, so nothing else on the surrounding networks loses reachability:

Entry	What it is
`169.254.0.0/16`	IPv4 link-local, carrying `169.254.169.254` (unchanged)
`fe80::/10`	IPv6 link-local (unchanged)
`fd00:ec2::254/128`	AWS IPv6 IMDS — sits in `fc00::/7`, so allowlisting `fd00::/8` no longer reopens it
`100.100.100.200/32`	Alibaba Cloud metadata — sits in CGNAT, so allowlisting `100.64.0.0/10` (Tailscale) no longer reopens it
`::a9fe:a9fe/128`	`169.254.169.254` as an IPv4-compatible IPv6 address
`64:ff9b::a9fe:a9fe/128`	`169.254.169.254` behind the NAT64 well-known prefix

The last two were previously in no entry of blockedNetworks either, so they are now refused where before they passed the guard with or without an allowlist.

Finding 3 — pinned. ::ffff:169.254.169.254 gets a test case; it was already refused via To4() normalisation and still is. That reasoning is now a code comment next to the set, explaining why the mapped form needs no entry while the other two do.

errBlockedLinkLocal renamed errBlockedMetadata; the message is now "blocked link-local or cloud instance metadata address: ALLOWED_EGRESS_CIDRS cannot open it", and the test asserts that clause instead of the word "link-local".

TestAlwaysBlockedNetworks_AreLinkLocal renamed TestAlwaysBlockedNetworks_PinnedSet and rewritten to pin all six entries with each one named, so the set cannot grow or shrink silently. TestGuardAllowlist_MetadataAlwaysRefused goes from 6 cases to 11: each new address is proven refused on both the ValidateTargetURL and the dial path, under an allowlist that covers it (fd00::/8, 100.64.0.0/10, 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0). Its case table moved to a helper to stay under the funlen limit; ::/0 and 0.0.0.0/0 became named constants for goconst.

Finding 1 (README) — done. New paragraph states plainly that 0.0.0.0/0 or ::/0 opens every other private and reserved range at once — loopback, RFC 1918, CGNAT, ULA — and is a functional off switch for everything except the unconditionally blocked set, with "do not list it". The unconditional-block bullet now carries the table above rather than naming link-local only, plus a note that the list is not exhaustive of every cloud's metadata address. The security summary near the end of the README was corrected the same way.

Rebase. next moved twice mid-rework. One conflict, in internal/config/config.go: this branch's envPrefixList("ALLOWED_EGRESS_CIDRS") landed on the same lines as resolveMetricsAuth() from #216. Both are needed; resolved by keeping both calls with their own error checks. Full gate re-run after each rebase.

Gate, both on the final head 76a6518:

make check — exit 0, lint 0 issues., 15 packages ok, zero FAIL.

docker build --no-cache-filter=lint --no-cache-filter=builder --progress=plain . — exit 0. Zero CACHED layers in the lint and builder stages, and zero (cached) lines anywhere in the log:

In-container make test: 15 ok with real durations, 2 [no test files], zero FAIL, log not truncated. All 11 TestGuardAllowlist_MetadataAlwaysRefused subtests and TestAlwaysBlockedNetworks_PinnedSet show PASS in that log.

FAIL — needs-rework. The rework closed the two named instances of the ULA/CGNAT metadata hole but not the class. Allowlisting fd00::/8, the entry the rework note itself calls "an ordinary entry", still yields cloud instance-credential theft on two more providers.

1. internal/delivery/ssrf.go:94-113 — GCP's IPv6 metadata server fd20:ce::254 is not in alwaysBlockedNetworks. fd20:ce::254 is inside fd00::/8, so an operator who allowlists their own ULA block reaches http://[fd20:ce::254]/computeMetadata/v1/instance/service-accounts/default/token and gets a GCP service-account token. This is the same defect that blocked the previous round, with GCP substituted for AWS. It matters more than an ordinary omission because ssrf.go:95-96, the README table row for 169.254.0.0/16, and ssrf_allowlist_test.go:370-372 all explicitly name GCP as covered — the documentation claims a guarantee the code does not give, which is exactly the shape the earlier review raised as finding 2. Confirmed against Google's primary documentation (Compute Engine, "View and query VM metadata"), which gives http://fd20:ce::254/computeMetadata/v1 as the endpoint for IPv6-only VMs. Acceptable: an fd20:ce::254/128 entry alongside the AWS one.

2. internal/delivery/ssrf.go:94-113 — Oracle Cloud's IPv6 IMDS fd00:c1::a9fe:a9fe is not in alwaysBlockedNetworks. Also inside fd00::/8; reaching it serves /opc/v2/ including instance principal credentials. Oracle's own IMDS page documents only the IPv4 address, but the endpoint is live and in use — cloud-init's Oracle datasource fetches from it on IPv6-only OCI instances (Successfully fetched vnics metadata from IMDS at: http://[fd00:c1::a9fe:a9fe]/opc/v2/vnics/, canonical/cloud-init issue 6849). Flagging the source quality plainly: primary-vendor-confirmed for GCP, operational-evidence-only for OCI. Acceptable: an fd00:c1::a9fe:a9fe/128 entry.

Both fixes are mechanical and every mechanism they need is already in place: two host routes, two rows in metadataAlwaysRefusedCases() under an fd00::/8 allowlist, two entries in TestAlwaysBlockedNetworks_PinnedSet, and the matching README table rows.

Swept and clear, so the fix list above is complete as far as I could establish: Azure IMDS is IPv4-only; Alibaba, Tencent, Huawei, Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Vultr, Scaleway, OpenStack and Yandex are all inside 169.254.0.0/16 or already listed. Other encodings of 169.254.169.254 (decimal/octal/hex host forms, 0177. forms) are structurally neutralised rather than enumerated — they are not IP literals, so they take the resolver path and checkIP sees the resolved address. 6to4 2002:a9fe:a9fe:: is unlisted but is proto-41 encapsulation toward a link-local destination, not an HTTP path to the metadata service; I am waiving it.

Non-blocking, for the same pass:

internal/config/config.go:524-531 — the startup warning still reads "Link-local (cloud instance metadata) stays blocked regardless." The sentinel message and the README were both widened for the new set; this operator-facing string was not, and it now understates what is refused.

Verified and correct, no action needed: the ::ffff:169.254.169.254 claim holds — net.IPNet.Contains calls ip.To4() (ip.go:482) and To4 normalises only the 0xff 0xff mapped form (ip.go:217-222), so the mapped form matches 169.254.0.0/16 while the IPv4-compatible and NAT64 forms genuinely need their own entries. Each of the six pinned entries is refused on both the ValidateTargetURL and the dial path under an allowlist that covers it, and for the four non-link-local entries the covering allowlist really would permit the address, so alwaysBlockedNetworks is provably doing the work rather than the default blocklist. 0.0.0.0/0 and ::/0 open nothing in the set. Still one decision point: checkIP has exactly two production callers, h.ssrf.ValidateTargetURL and Guard.NewSSRFSafeTransport, with no package-level validator left and no unguarded http.Client in the tree. Both config validations survived the #216 rebase with separate error checks and both abort startup; ALLOWED_EGRESS_CIDRS set-but-unparseable aborts naming the variable, asserted by sentinel and by key. The 11-case funlen extraction and the goconst constants lost nothing — 11 subtests ran. TODO.md untouched, one commit, title ends " (closes #204)", base is next, no attribution trailers, inclusive terminology, no scope creep. Test-merged into current next at a13e5b7 locally: clean, no conflicts.

Two disclosures on my evidence. assertDialRefused asserts only the substring "blocked", not the metadata clause; for the ::ffff: case the covering ::/0 does not actually cover the unmapped v4 address (netip.Prefix.Contains is false cross-family), so that one dial subtest would still pass via the ordinary blocklist — the validation half of the same case does assert the metadata clause, so the case remains load-bearing, but the dial half of it is weaker than it reads. And 100.100.100.200/32 does cost one genuinely assignable CGNAT address; deliberate, documented, one host, raised only so it is on the record.

Gate, re-run by me on 76a6518, not relying on the check mark per #119: docker build --no-cache-filter=lint --no-cache-filter=builder --progress=plain . exit 0. make fmt-check #20 DONE 0.3s, golangci-lint config verify #21 DONE 0.3s, golangci-lint run #22 DONE 78.3s with 0 issues., make test #35 DONE 101.7s, make build #36 DONE 62.7s. Zero CACHED layers in either the lint or the builder stage — the twelve CACHED lines in the log are all base-image FROM vertices and the final stage-2 runtime layers, and the apparent builder duplicates (#28-#32) are BuildKit's deduplicated display of digests actually executed under #24-#27, which carry real apt output. Zero (cached) markers anywhere, 15 packages ok with real durations, zero FAIL. All 11 TestGuardAllowlist_MetadataAlwaysRefused subtests and TestAlwaysBlockedNetworks_PinnedSet show PASS. My log is 1,939,518 bytes and did NOT clip — it runs through #41 DONE 3.1s and final image naming, so the 2 MiB limit was not reached. internal/handlers passed in 35.7s with no context deadline exceeded, so #225 did not fire; uptime load average at start was 76.64/75.07/91.24 on 48 cores. All linting ran in the pinned container, nothing on the host; the gate image was removed and docker ps -a is empty. No prune was run.

CI status on 76a6518 is pending / "Waiting to run" — no runner has picked it up, so the verdict rests on the container gate above and not on the check mark.

Correction to my review above (#217 (comment)). Verdict is unchanged — FAIL, needs-rework — but my sweep was not complete and the claim that it was is retracted. A deeper enumeration turned up three more high-confidence ULA metadata endpoints, including one I explicitly and wrongly cleared. Do not implement the two-entry fix from that comment; the list below supersedes it.

Additional entries missing from alwaysBlockedNetworks, all inside fd00::/8 and so all reopened by the same ordinary ULA allowlist:

fd00:42::42 — Scaleway metadata. I asserted Scaleway was "inside 169.254.0.0/16 or already listed". That was wrong. Scaleway serves http://[fd00:42::42]/user_data, /conf and /vendor_data alongside its IPv4 169.254.42.42. Primary: Scaleway Instance API / user-data docs.
fd00:a9fe:a9fe::1 — Linode/Akamai metadata. Not mentioned in my sweep at all. Primary: Akamai TechDocs, "Metadata Service API".
fd00:ec2::23 — AWS EKS Pod Identity Agent. A second AWS credential endpoint distinct from IMDS at fd00:ec2::254; it issues pod identity credentials, so reaching it is credential theft in the same sense. Primary: AWS EKS pod-identities docs plus DefaultIpv6TargetHost in aws/eks-pod-identity-agent configuration/config.go.

So the always-blocked set needs five additions, not two: fd20:ce::254 (GCP), fd00:c1::a9fe:a9fe (OCI), fd00:42::42 (Scaleway), fd00:a9fe:a9fe::1 (Linode/Akamai), fd00:ec2::23 (AWS EKS Pod Identity). All five are /128 host routes in ULA space, so blocking them costs an operator nothing else on the surrounding network, exactly as the two existing host routes do.

Worth knowing why these are easy to miss, because it will bite again: Akamai's and AWS's own documentation call these addresses "link-local" (AWS's also calls fd00:ec2::23 "localhost"). All three labels are wrong — they are ULAs, outside fe80::/10. Anyone deriving the set from vendor prose rather than from the address will conclude they are already covered by the fe80::/10 entry. They are not.

Lower-confidence, judgement call rather than a requirement: fd00:100::100:200 is reported as an Alibaba IPv6 metadata endpoint, but the only source is a cloud-init issue citing no vendor documentation, and Alibaba's own EN/ZH docs and credentials-go SDK mention IPv4 only. Plausible, unverified — your call whether an unverified address earns a line in a pinned set.

Also in scope but minor: 192.0.0.192, Oracle Cloud Classic's metadata address on the legacy platform. It sits inside 192.0.0.0/24, which blockedNetworks already covers, so it is refused by default — but an allowlist naming 192.0.0.0/24 or 0.0.0.0/0 opens it, which is the exact property alwaysBlockedNetworks exists to deny. Primary: Oracle IaaS Classic docs.

Out of scope for this PR, pre-existing on next, and I am not asking you to fix it here — two credential-adjacent endpoints are on public unicast addresses and are therefore reachable today with no allowlist set at all, because the guard only refuses private/reserved space:

168.63.129.16 — Azure WireServer, ports 80 and 32526, carrying goalstate and extension settings. Primary: Microsoft's "What is IP address 168.63.129.16" doc.
147.75.207.243 — Equinix Metal metadata. Weaker: Equinix documents only the hostname metadata.platformequinix.com, so this is a resolved address rather than a documented stable literal, which makes it a poor fit for a static list.

Neither is opened by ALLOWED_EGRESS_CIDRS and neither is a regression from this change, so they belong in their own issue against the default blocklist rather than in this rework.

Everything else in my earlier comment stands unchanged: the gate evidence, the ::ffff: verification, the single-decision-point and rebase checks, the clean test-merge into next, and the non-blocking notes. Sourcing note for the record: GCP, Scaleway, Linode/Akamai, AWS EKS, Azure WireServer and Oracle Classic are all primary vendor documentation or vendor source; OCI is vendor SDK source (oci-python-sdk defines IMDS_IPV6_HOST) rather than vendor prose, since Oracle's own IMDS page still lists IPv4 only; Alibaba IPv6 and Equinix are flagged above as weak. No pentest-cheatsheet material was used for any address reported here.

Correction to my review above (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/webhooker/pulls/217#issuecomment-66964). Verdict is unchanged — FAIL, `needs-rework` — but **my sweep was not complete and the claim that it was is retracted.** A deeper enumeration turned up three more high-confidence ULA metadata endpoints, including one I explicitly and wrongly cleared. Do not implement the two-entry fix from that comment; the list below supersedes it. Additional entries missing from `alwaysBlockedNetworks`, all inside `fd00::/8` and so all reopened by the same ordinary ULA allowlist: - **`fd00:42::42` — Scaleway metadata.** I asserted Scaleway was "inside `169.254.0.0/16` or already listed". That was wrong. Scaleway serves `http://[fd00:42::42]/user_data`, `/conf` and `/vendor_data` alongside its IPv4 `169.254.42.42`. Primary: Scaleway Instance API / user-data docs. - **`fd00:a9fe:a9fe::1` — Linode/Akamai metadata.** Not mentioned in my sweep at all. Primary: Akamai TechDocs, "Metadata Service API". - **`fd00:ec2::23` — AWS EKS Pod Identity Agent.** A second AWS credential endpoint distinct from IMDS at `fd00:ec2::254`; it issues pod identity credentials, so reaching it is credential theft in the same sense. Primary: AWS EKS pod-identities docs plus `DefaultIpv6TargetHost` in `aws/eks-pod-identity-agent` `configuration/config.go`. So the always-blocked set needs **five** additions, not two: `fd20:ce::254` (GCP), `fd00:c1::a9fe:a9fe` (OCI), `fd00:42::42` (Scaleway), `fd00:a9fe:a9fe::1` (Linode/Akamai), `fd00:ec2::23` (AWS EKS Pod Identity). All five are `/128` host routes in ULA space, so blocking them costs an operator nothing else on the surrounding network, exactly as the two existing host routes do. Worth knowing why these are easy to miss, because it will bite again: **Akamai's and AWS's own documentation call these addresses "link-local"** (AWS's also calls `fd00:ec2::23` "localhost"). All three labels are wrong — they are ULAs, outside `fe80::/10`. Anyone deriving the set from vendor prose rather than from the address will conclude they are already covered by the `fe80::/10` entry. They are not. Lower-confidence, judgement call rather than a requirement: `fd00:100::100:200` is reported as an Alibaba IPv6 metadata endpoint, but the only source is a cloud-init issue citing no vendor documentation, and Alibaba's own EN/ZH docs and `credentials-go` SDK mention IPv4 only. Plausible, unverified — your call whether an unverified address earns a line in a pinned set. Also in scope but minor: **`192.0.0.192`**, Oracle Cloud Classic's metadata address on the legacy platform. It sits inside `192.0.0.0/24`, which `blockedNetworks` already covers, so it is refused by default — but an allowlist naming `192.0.0.0/24` or `0.0.0.0/0` opens it, which is the exact property `alwaysBlockedNetworks` exists to deny. Primary: Oracle IaaS Classic docs. **Out of scope for this PR, pre-existing on `next`, and I am not asking you to fix it here** — two credential-adjacent endpoints are on public unicast addresses and are therefore reachable *today with no allowlist set at all*, because the guard only refuses private/reserved space: - `168.63.129.16` — Azure WireServer, ports 80 and 32526, carrying goalstate and extension settings. Primary: Microsoft's "What is IP address 168.63.129.16" doc. - `147.75.207.243` — Equinix Metal metadata. Weaker: Equinix documents only the hostname `metadata.platformequinix.com`, so this is a resolved address rather than a documented stable literal, which makes it a poor fit for a static list. Neither is opened by `ALLOWED_EGRESS_CIDRS` and neither is a regression from this change, so they belong in their own issue against the default blocklist rather than in this rework. Everything else in my earlier comment stands unchanged: the gate evidence, the `::ffff:` verification, the single-decision-point and rebase checks, the clean test-merge into `next`, and the non-blocking notes.

Reworked against the review (#217 (comment)) and its correction (#217 (comment)). One commit f936210, force-pushed, rebased onto next at aba02bc.

Blocking 1 — the class, not the two instances. alwaysBlockedNetworks goes from six entries to fourteen. Eight additions, every one a /32 or /128 host route:

Added	What it is
`fd20:ce::254/128`	GCP metadata for IPv6-only instances
`fd00:c1::a9fe:a9fe/128`	Oracle OCI IMDS over IPv6
`fd00:42::42/128`	Scaleway metadata over IPv6
`fd00:a9fe:a9fe::1/128`	Linode/Akamai metadata over IPv6
`fd00:ec2::23/128`	AWS EKS Pod Identity Agent
`192.0.0.192/32`	Oracle Cloud Classic metadata
`168.63.129.16/32`	Azure WireServer
`147.75.207.243/32`	Equinix Metal metadata

The trap is recorded next to the set as a comment: derive membership from the address, never from vendor prose, because several vendors call these ULAs "link-local" or "localhost" and fe80::/10 does not cover a ULA.

Blocking 2 — the two public unicast endpoints. 168.63.129.16 and 147.75.207.243 went into the always-blocked set, not the default blocklist, so no allowlist can open them. They are the only two entries here that change behaviour with no ALLOWED_EGRESS_CIDRS set at all.

Tests. metadataAlwaysRefusedCases() goes from 11 to 19 cases, each new address under an allowlist that would otherwise cover it — fd00::/8 for the six ULA entries, 0.0.0.0/0 for 192.0.0.192, Azure and Equinix. Each is refused on both the ValidateTargetURL and the dial path. TestAlwaysBlockedNetworks_PinnedSet pins all fourteen, each with a comment naming what it is. Case table split across four helpers to stay under funlen; no case was dropped.

assertDialRefused tightened. Split into assertDialRefusedWith(t, guard, target, clause); the metadata cases now assert ALLOWED_EGRESS_CIDRS cannot open it on the dial half too, so a subtest cannot pass via the ordinary blocklist. The ::ffff: case additionally moved from ::/0 to 0.0.0.0/0, since allows() unmaps before matching and ::/0 never covered the unmapped v4 address — it now genuinely proves the allowlist was overridden.

config.go warning. Now reads "Link-local and the known cloud instance metadata endpoints outside it stay blocked regardless of what is listed here." TestEgressAllowlistWarning asserts the widened clause rather than the word Link-local; asserting it instead of adding an assertion was deliberate, since one more assert.Contains in that loop tripped dupl against TestSharedRateLimitBucketWarning. The Config.AllowedEgressCIDRs doc comment was widened the same way.

README. Table lists all fourteen. The GCP claim on the 169.254.0.0/16 row is gone — that row now names AWS, Azure, Alibaba, DigitalOcean, Hetzner and OpenStack, and GCP appears only on its own fd20:ce::254/128 row. Added why fd00::/8 is the dangerous allowlist line, the vendor-prose warning, and a note that two entries are public addresses. The opening "every delivery target must resolve to a public address" was corrected, since that is no longer strictly true. The security summary near the end no longer says "link-local plus the known cloud metadata endpoints" without qualification.

FAIL — needs-rework. The always-blocked set is complete as far as I can establish (sweep detailed at the end); the defects are in what the change says about itself.

1. f936210 commit body states the opposite of what the code does on the default configuration. The body says: "Empty, the guard behaves exactly as before." That is false. 168.63.129.16 (Azure WireServer) and 147.75.207.243 (Equinix Metal) are public unicast and are in no entry of blockedNetworks; before this commit they were valid delivery destinations, and after it they are refused with ALLOWED_EGRESS_CIDRS unset. That is the only behaviour change this PR makes to deployments that never touch the new variable, and the landing commit denies it exists. README.md and the PR body both get it right, which makes the commit the odd one out. Acceptable: say plainly that two public metadata addresses become unreachable by default.

2. Same commit body, next sentence — the always-blocked set is enumerated as the superseded six-entry version. "It is the two link-local blocks (169.254.0.0/16, fe80::/10) plus host routes for the cloud metadata endpoints that sit outside them: AWS's IPv6 IMDS at fd00:ec2::254 ... and Alibaba's 100.100.100.200 ..." — the "It is X: [list]" construction reads as exhaustive and the code ships fourteen. GCP fd20:ce::254, Oracle OCI fd00:c1::a9fe:a9fe, Scaleway fd00:42::42, Linode/Akamai fd00:a9fe:a9fe::1, AWS EKS Pod Identity fd00:ec2::23, Oracle Cloud Classic 192.0.0.192, Azure 168.63.129.16 and Equinix 147.75.207.243 appear nowhere in the commit. This repo squash-merges, so that body is the permanent record of a security control whose scope has now been wrong twice; a future auditor asking why 147.75.207.243 is refused finds no answer in it. Acceptable: enumerate the fourteen, or name the class and point at alwaysBlockedNetworks.

3. internal/config/config.go:139 over-promises and contradicts the README. The AllowedEgressCIDRs doc comment says the guard blocks "link-local plus every known cloud metadata endpoint outside it". README.md:206 says "This list is not exhaustive of every cloud's metadata address". One of the two is wrong, and the README is the one that is right. This is the same doc-claims-more-than-code shape that blocked the last round, at lower stakes. Acceptable: "the known cloud metadata endpoints outside it (see alwaysBlockedNetworks; not exhaustive)".

4. Alibaba is named as a user of 169.254.169.254 in three places; it is not one. internal/delivery/ssrf.go:104, internal/delivery/ssrf_allowlist_test.go:473 and README.md:173 all list Alibaba among the providers served by the link-local metadata address. Alibaba's own ECS metadata documentation gives 100.100.100.200 exclusively, and cloud-init's DataSourceAliYun.py hardcodes only http://100.100.100.200; Alibaba already has its own row two lines below. Harmless to the control — the real address is covered — but it is a wrong attribution in the table an operator is being told to trust, in the same three-places-agree pattern the GCP finding had. Drop Alibaba from that row.

5. README.md:194 — "The six fd00::/8 and fd20::/8 entries". fd20::/8 masks to fd00::/8; there is exactly one /8 here, and that it covers fd20:ce::254 too is the entire point of the paragraph. As written it invites an operator to conclude fd00::/8 and fd20::/8 are separate things to worry about. The same sentence says "six providers at once" for six endpoints across five providers (AWS appears twice, IMDS and EKS Pod Identity).

Everything else checked and passing. Gate re-run by me on f936210, not relying on the check mark per #119: docker build --no-cache-filter=lint --no-cache-filter=builder --progress=plain . — #17 [lint 7/9] make fmt-check DONE 3.1s, #18 golangci-lint config verify DONE 0.3s, #19 [lint 9/9] golangci-lint run 0 issues. DONE 63.3s, #21 builder apt DONE 8.2s, #24 go mod download DONE 6.7s, #27 make test exit 2. Zero CACHED steps in the lint or builder chains — #14/#15 are BuildKit's dedup redisplay of #13/#12, which carry the real 10.8s/5.0s durations. Zero (cached) markers anywhere in the log. Sixteen packages ok with real durations, two [no test files], exactly one --- FAIL: in the whole log: TestGormScanIsNeverCalledOutsideTests naming internal/delivery/queue_depth.go:109:3 and :161:3 and nothing else — #234, pre-existing on next, and this branch adds no Scan call site (git diff origin/next...HEAD shows none). make build did not run because make test exited first (Dockerfile line 63 before 64). Neither #225 nor #230 fired: internal/handlers ok in 50.171s, no race report; the three context deadline exceeded strings in the log are asserted shutdown-timeout log lines inside packages that passed. My log is 2,209,250 bytes, carries no truncation marker, and contains every package result line plus the final BuildKit error frame, so it did not clip. uptime load 40.89/56.08/57.80 on 48 cores. All linting ran in the pinned golangci-lint:v2.12.2 container; nothing on the host. The build failed before tagging, so no image was produced; docker ps -a is empty and no prune was run.

All fourteen entries refused on both paths, verified from the log rather than from names: 19/19 TestGuardAllowlist_MetadataAlwaysRefused subtests PASS, each asserting the ALLOWED_EGRESS_CIDRS cannot open it clause on the validation half and now on the dial half too, under an allowlist that genuinely covers the target in every case. TestAlwaysBlockedNetworks_PinnedSet PASS and its want matches init() entry for entry, all fourteen. One decision point holds: checkIP has exactly two production callers, h.ssrf.ValidateTargetURL and Guard.NewSSRFSafeTransport; no package-level validator survives, no unguarded http.Client, http.DefaultClient/http.DefaultTransport/http.Get appear nowhere outside tests, and clientForConfig reuses the guarded transport. Set-but-unparseable ALLOWED_EGRESS_CIDRS aborts startup naming the variable (ErrInvalidCIDR plus key, asserted by both). 0.0.0.0/0 and ::/0 open nothing in the set — ordering in checkIP puts alwaysBlockedNetworks ahead of allows(), which is also why the two public entries are refused with no allowlist at all even though no test exercises that combination directly; it is implied, since an empty list is strictly less permissive than 0.0.0.0/0. Non-literal host encodings (decimal, octal, hex) are structurally neutralised: they are not IP literals, so checkIP sees the resolved address on both paths. Zone-scoped link-local (fe80::a9fe:a9fe%25eth0, Hetzner's IPv6 form) is refused either way — accepted as a literal it hits fe80::/10, rejected it fails resolution. TODO.md and .golangci.yml untouched, one commit, title ends (closes #204), base next, no Claude/Anthropic references or attribution trailers anywhere in the tree or the commit, inclusive terminology, make fmt-check clean in-container. Test-merged into current next at aba02bc myself: clean, no conflicts.

On the two author decisions, both are improvements. assertDialRefusedWith genuinely strengthens: the dial half of every metadata case now fails if the refusal comes from the ordinary blocklist rather than the unconditional set, which is exactly the weakness disclosed last round. Moving the ::ffff: case from ::/0 to 0.0.0.0/0 is correct and necessary — allows() unmaps before matching and netip.Prefix.Contains is false cross-family, so ::/0 never covered the unmapped v4 address and the case's stated premise was untrue. The TestEgressAllowlistWarning swap is not literally strictly stronger — nothing now asserts the word Link-local appears — but it is stronger where it matters, since "metadata endpoints outside it" fails if the string narrows back and "Link-local" would not have. Worth noting the dupl constraint did not actually force the loss: one longer assert.Contains on "Link-local and the known cloud instance metadata endpoints outside it" would have covered both in the same single line.

Sweep, so the gap is auditable. Verified against cloud-init datasource source in canonical/cloud-init main (primary implementation, not vendor prose): DataSourceEc2.py gives fd00:ec2::254, DataSourceOracle.py gives fd00:c1::a9fe:a9fe, DataSourceScaleway.py gives fd00:42::42, DataSourceAkamai.py gives fd00:a9fe:a9fe::1 — all four present and correct. DataSourceHetzner.py gives fe80::a9fe:a9fe%25{nic}, covered by fe80::/10. DataSourceVultr.py, DataSourceIBMCloud.py (config-drive, no network endpoint), DigitalOcean, UpCloud, Exoscale, OpenStack, Tencent, Huawei, Yandex: all inside 169.254.0.0/16 or not network-reachable. Kubernetes API ClusterIPs, kubelet, and container-runtime sockets sit on operator-owned RFC 1918 space and must stay allowlistable, so they do not belong in this set. Alternate encodings: the IPv4-mapped, IPv4-compatible and NAT64 forms are all covered and tested; the deprecated IPv4-translated prefix ::ffff:0:0/96 and 6to4 2002::/16 are not, and I am waiving both — neither is an HTTP path to a metadata service without a translator or proto-41 gateway configured for it. One residual, unchanged from last round and I agree with the author's call: fd00:100::100:200 is reported as Alibaba's IPv6 metadata endpoint by https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/issues/6892, but it cites no Alibaba source, Alibaba's EN and ZH docs give IPv4 only, and cloud-init's own DataSourceAliYun.py hardcodes only http://100.100.100.200. It is inside fd00::/8, so if it is real it is a hole of exactly the class this set exists to close, and a /128 costs nothing. Not blocking, but I would take it.

One disclosure on the pinned set: 147.75.207.243 is a resolved address for metadata.platformequinix.com, which is the only thing Equinix documents. Pinning it means the table asserts a stability Equinix has not promised, and the entry silently stops protecting if the A record moves. Deliberate and already argued on this PR, recorded here only so it is on the record.

The always-blocked set is complete as far as I can establish (sweep detailed at the end); the defects are in what the change says about itself. **1. `f936210` commit body states the opposite of what the code does on the default configuration.** The body says: "Empty, the guard behaves exactly as before."

Acceptable: say plainly that two public metadata addresses become unreachable by default. **2. Same commit body, next sentence — the always-blocked set is enumerated as the superseded six-entry version.** "It is the two link-local blocks (169.254.0.0/16, fe80::/10) plus host routes for the cloud metadata endpoints that sit outside them: AWS's IPv6 IMDS at fd00:ec2::254 ... and Alibaba's 100.100.100.200 ..." — the "It is X: [list]" construction reads as exhaustive and the code ships fourteen. GCP `fd20:ce::254`, Oracle OCI `fd00:c1::a9fe:a9fe`, Scaleway `fd00:42::42`, Linode/Akamai `fd00:a9fe:a9fe::1`, AWS EKS Pod Identity `fd00:ec2::23`, Oracle Cloud Classic `192.0.0.192`, Azure `168.63.129.16` and Equinix `147.75.207.243` appear nowhere in the commit. This repo squash-merges, so that body is the permanent record of a security control whose scope has now been wrong twice; a future auditor asking why `147.75.207.243` is refused finds no answer in it. Acceptable: enumerate the fourteen, or name the class and point at `alwaysBlockedNetworks`. **3. `internal/config/config.go:139` over-promises and contradicts the README.** The `AllowedEgressCIDRs` doc comment says the guard blocks "link-local plus every known cloud metadata endpoint outside it". `README.md:206` says "This list is not exhaustive of every cloud's metadata address". One of the two is wrong, and the README is the one that is right. This is the same doc-claims-more-than-code shape that blocked the last round, at lower stakes. Acceptable: "the known cloud metadata endpoints outside it (see `alwaysBlockedNetworks`; not exhaustive)". **4. Alibaba is named as a user of `169.254.169.254` in three places; it is not one.** `internal/delivery/ssrf.go:104`, `internal/delivery/ssrf_allowlist_test.go:473` and `README.md:173` all list Alibaba among the providers served by the link-local metadata address. Alibaba's own ECS metadata documentation gives `100.100.100.200` exclusively, and cloud-init's `DataSourceAliYun.py` hardcodes only `http://100.100.100.200`; Alibaba already has its own row two lines below. Harmless to the control — the real address is covered — but it is a wrong attribution in the table an operator is being told to trust, in the same three-places-agree pattern the GCP finding had. Drop Alibaba from that row. **5. `README.md:194` — "The six `fd00::/8` and `fd20::/8` entries".** `fd20::/8` masks to `fd00::/8`; there is exactly one /8 here, and that it covers `fd20:ce::254` too is the entire point of the paragraph. As written it invites an operator to conclude `fd00::/8` and `fd20::/8` are separate things to worry about. The same sentence says "six providers at once" for six endpoints across five providers (AWS appears twice, IMDS and EKS Pod Identity). --- Everything else checked and passing. Gate re-run by me on `f936210`, not relying on the check mark per https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/webhooker/issues/119: `docker build --no-cache-filter=lint --no-cache-filter=builder --progress=plain .` — `#17 [lint 7/9] make fmt-check DONE 3.1s`, `#18 golangci-lint config verify DONE 0.3s`, `#19 [lint 9/9] golangci-lint run` `0 issues.` `DONE 63.3s`, `#21 builder apt DONE 8.2s`, `#24 go mod download DONE 6.7s`, `#27 make test` exit 2. Zero `CACHED` steps in the `lint` or `builder` chains — `#14`/`#15` are BuildKit's dedup redisplay of `#13`/`#12`, which carry the real 10.8s/5.0s durations. Zero `(cached)` markers anywhere in the log. Sixteen packages `ok` with real durations, two `[no test files]`, exactly one `--- FAIL:` in the whole log: `TestGormScanIsNeverCalledOutsideTests` naming `internal/delivery/queue_depth.go:109:3` and `:161:3` and nothing else — https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/webhooker/issues/234, pre-existing on `next`, and this branch adds no `Scan` call site (`git diff origin/next...HEAD` shows none). `make build` did not run because `make test` exited first (Dockerfile line 63 before 64). Neither https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/webhooker/issues/225 nor https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/webhooker/issues/230 fired: `internal/handlers` `ok` in 50.171s, no race report; the three `context deadline exceeded` strings in the log are asserted shutdown-timeout log lines inside packages that passed. My log is 2,209,250 bytes, carries no truncation marker, and contains every package result line plus the final BuildKit error frame, so it did not clip. `uptime` load 40.89/56.08/57.80 on 48 cores. All linting ran in the pinned `golangci-lint:v2.12.2` container; nothing on the host. The build failed before tagging, so no image was produced; `docker ps -a` is empty and no prune was run. All fourteen entries refused on both paths, verified from the log rather than from names: 19/19 `TestGuardAllowlist_MetadataAlwaysRefused` subtests `PASS`, each asserting the `ALLOWED_EGRESS_CIDRS cannot open it` clause on the validation half and now on the dial half too, under an allowlist that genuinely covers the target in every case. `TestAlwaysBlockedNetworks_PinnedSet` `PASS` and its `want` matches `init()` entry for entry, all fourteen. One decision point holds: `checkIP` has exactly two production callers, `h.ssrf.ValidateTargetURL` and `Guard.NewSSRFSafeTransport`; no package-level validator survives, no unguarded `http.Client`, `http.DefaultClient`/`http.DefaultTransport`/`http.Get` appear nowhere outside tests, and `clientForConfig` reuses the guarded transport. Set-but-unparseable `ALLOWED_EGRESS_CIDRS` aborts startup naming the variable (`ErrInvalidCIDR` plus key, asserted by both). `0.0.0.0/0` and `::/0` open nothing in the set — ordering in `checkIP` puts `alwaysBlockedNetworks` ahead of `allows()`, which is also why the two public entries are refused with no allowlist at all even though no test exercises that combination directly; it is implied, since an empty list is strictly less permissive than `0.0.0.0/0`. Non-literal host encodings (decimal, octal, hex) are structurally neutralised: they are not IP literals, so `checkIP` sees the resolved address on both paths. Zone-scoped link-local (`fe80::a9fe:a9fe%25eth0`, Hetzner's IPv6 form) is refused either way — accepted as a literal it hits `fe80::/10`, rejected it fails resolution. `TODO.md` and `.golangci.yml` untouched, one commit, title ends `(closes #204)`, base `next`, no Claude/Anthropic references or attribution trailers anywhere in the tree or the commit, inclusive terminology, `make fmt-check` clean in-container. Test-merged into current `next` at `aba02bc` myself: clean, no conflicts. On the two author decisions, both are improvements. `assertDialRefusedWith` genuinely strengthens: the dial half of every metadata case now fails if the refusal comes from the ordinary blocklist rather than the unconditional set, which is exactly the weakness disclosed last round. Moving the `::ffff:` case from `::/0` to `0.0.0.0/0` is correct and necessary — `allows()` unmaps before matching and `netip.Prefix.Contains` is false cross-family, so `::/0` never covered the unmapped v4 address and the case's stated premise was untrue. The `TestEgressAllowlistWarning` swap is not literally strictly stronger — nothing now asserts the word `Link-local` appears — but it is stronger where it matters, since `"metadata endpoints outside it"` fails if the string narrows back and `"Link-local"` would not have. Worth noting the `dupl` constraint did not actually force the loss: one longer `assert.Contains` on `"Link-local and the known cloud instance metadata endpoints outside it"` would have covered both in the same single line. Sweep, so the gap is auditable. Verified against cloud-init datasource source in `canonical/cloud-init` `main` (primary implementation, not vendor prose): `DataSourceEc2.py` gives `fd00:ec2::254`, `DataSourceOracle.py` gives `fd00:c1::a9fe:a9fe`, `DataSourceScaleway.py` gives `fd00:42::42`, `DataSourceAkamai.py` gives `fd00:a9fe:a9fe::1` — all four present and correct. `DataSourceHetzner.py` gives `fe80::a9fe:a9fe%25{nic}`, covered by `fe80::/10`. `DataSourceVultr.py`, `DataSourceIBMCloud.py` (config-drive, no network endpoint), DigitalOcean, UpCloud, Exoscale, OpenStack, Tencent, Huawei, Yandex: all inside `169.254.0.0/16` or not network-reachable. Kubernetes API ClusterIPs, kubelet, and container-runtime sockets sit on operator-owned RFC 1918 space and must stay allowlistable, so they do not belong in this set. Alternate encodings: the IPv4-mapped, IPv4-compatible and NAT64 forms are all covered and tested; the deprecated IPv4-translated prefix `::ffff:0:0/96` and 6to4 `2002::/16` are not, and I am waiving both — neither is an HTTP path to a metadata service without a translator or proto-41 gateway configured for it. One residual, unchanged from last round and I agree with the author's call: `fd00:100::100:200` is reported as Alibaba's IPv6 metadata endpoint by https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/issues/6892, but it cites no Alibaba source, Alibaba's EN and ZH docs give IPv4 only, and cloud-init's own `DataSourceAliYun.py` hardcodes only `http://100.100.100.200`. It is inside `fd00::/8`, so if it is real it is a hole of exactly the class this set exists to close, and a `/128` costs nothing. Not blocking, but I would take it. One disclosure on the pinned set: `147.75.207.243` is a resolved address for `metadata.platformequinix.com`, which is the only thing Equinix documents. Pinning it means the table asserts a stability Equinix has not promised, and the entry silently stops protecting if the A record moves. Deliberate and already argued on this PR, recorded here only so it is on the record.

Correction to my review above (#217 (comment)). Verdict unchanged — FAIL, needs-rework — but the sentence "the always-blocked set is complete as far as I can establish" was overstated and I retract it. A deeper enumeration finished after I posted and turned up two more unauthenticated metadata endpoints of the same class. Findings 1 through 5 in that comment stand as written.

Neither of these vends IAM credentials, which is why I am raising them as candidates rather than as a repeat of the blocking defect. Your call whether they earn a line.

100.80.80.80 — UCloud metadata, inside CGNAT. Unauthenticated; serves http://100.80.80.80/meta-data/latest/uhost/... — instance ID, region, project ID, CPU, disks, NICs, EIP IDs. This is structurally identical to the Alibaba case the author already closed: an operator who allowlists 100.64.0.0/10 to reach a Tailscale peer reopens it, and 100.100.100.200/32 is in the set for exactly that reason. Reconnaissance rather than credential theft, so it is a weaker instance of the class, but it is the same class. Primary: UCloud's own metadata-server documentation. Acceptable: a 100.80.80.80/32 entry, or an explicit decision that the set covers credential-vending endpoints only — which is not what README.md:165 currently says ("It cannot open link-local or a known cloud metadata endpoint").
SoftLayer / IBM Cloud Classic SoftLayer_Resource_Metadata — unauthenticated, and it serves user data. Confirmed from Oracle-style primary source, IBM's own SLDN reference: "Due to the requirement that the request originate from the backend network of the resource, no API key is necessary." It exposes account and datacenter identifiers, MAC/IP/VLAN data, hostname, provisioning state, tags, and "user data associated with the resource" — and user data routinely carries bootstrap secrets. Address unverified. It is reported as api.service.softlayer.com at 10.0.80.88, but IBM's reference page does not state an address and I could not confirm the literal, so I am not asking for an entry on this evidence. Flagging the source quality plainly, as with the OCI entry last round. Note also that unlike every current non-link-local entry, a 10.0.80.88/32 host route would sit inside 10.0.0.0/8 — the block operators allowlist most often, and one where a /32 genuinely could collide with a real internal service. That cuts against the "blocking it costs an operator nothing else on the surrounding network" justification at internal/delivery/ssrf.go:57-60, so it is a real design tradeoff rather than an obvious omission.

Two things explicitly out of scope for this set, recorded so they are not re-litigated next round:

IBM Cloud's 161.26.0.0/16 and 166.8.0.0/14 are IBM-owned public unicast used as an in-cloud private service network — VPC DNS at 161.26.0.10/161.26.0.11, NTP and package mirrors at 161.26.0.6. Reachable today with no allowlist, because the default blocklist only covers private and reserved space. That is a gap in blockedNetworks, not in alwaysBlockedNetworks, it is pre-existing on next and not a regression from this change, and these are an operator's own service network — the thing the allowlist exists to permit. Separate issue against the default blocklist if you want it at all. (A GKE Services range in Google-owned public space, reported as 34.118.224.0/20, is the same shape; I could not verify the prefix and it is a Kubernetes Service CIDR, so by the reasoning in my review it belongs out of this set regardless.)
One address to distrust if it shows up in any list being compared against this one: 100.88.222.5, widely attributed to Tencent Cloud, is folklore. It propagates from a single cloud-metadata gist with no corroboration; Tencent's own docs and tencentcloud-sdk-go use metadata.tencentyun.com / 169.254.0.23, which is in range and covered. Harmless either way since it falls inside 100.64.0.0/10, but its presence elsewhere is not evidence.

Corrections to my earlier sweep, for the record: IBM Cloud VPC IMDS is 169.254.169.254 (in range, covered) and it does vend credentials via trusted profiles — I had described IBM as config-drive only, which is true of IBM Cloud Classic and not of VPC. fd00:c1::a9fe:a9fe is further confirmed by oci-python-sdk hardcoding IMDS_IPV6_HOST for instance-principal federation, so that entry is well founded despite Oracle's prose docs still listing IPv4 only. No Alibaba IPv6 endpoint appears in Alibaba's docs or in aliyun/credentials-go, which weakens the fd00:100::100:200 suggestion in my review further — still single-source, still your call, and I would now rank it below the UCloud entry above.

Reworked against #217 (comment) and its correction #217 (comment). One commit 15ada44, force-pushed, rebased onto next at 3b0ed82. No change to the set's contents and no restructuring of the guard.

Criterion adopted, written above alwaysBlockedNetworks in internal/delivery/ssrf.go beside the vendor-prose warning. An address belongs only if BOTH hold:

It is a fixed address assigned by the provider, or a range reserved by IANA — never one the operator chose. That is what makes a host route free: it cannot collide with anything the operator runs.
Reaching it discloses credentials, or user data or bootstrap material — something granting onward access, or not cheaply rotated.

The comment states both refusal directions explicitly: an endpoint disclosing only the operator's own inventory (instance id, region, disks, NICs) fails (2), because reaching operator infrastructure is the feature ALLOWED_EGRESS_CIDRS exists to provide; (2) is not "IAM credentials only", since fd00:42::42 serves /user_data and /conf; and an address failing (1) stays out however well it clears (2), naming 10.0.0.0/8 as the case where a /32 could collide with a real internal service. It closes with "this is a criterion, not an enumeration of every metadata address in existence."

All fourteen entries verified against it. (1): 169.254.0.0/16 and fe80::/10 are IANA-reserved; the other twelve are provider-fixed literals, every one a /32 or /128. (2): AWS IMDS and EKS Pod Identity, GCP, OCI instance principals, Alibaba RAM, Azure WireServer extension settings vend credentials; Scaleway /user_data /conf, Linode/Akamai, Oracle Classic and Equinix Metal vend user data or bootstrap material; the three alternate encodings of 169.254.169.254 inherit the qualification of the address they encode.

100.80.80.80 (UCloud) and SoftLayer/IBM Classic not added, per instruction — UCloud fails (2), and the IBM literal is unverified and would fail (1) inside 10.0.0.0/8.

Blocking 3 — internal/config/config.go. The AllowedEgressCIDRs doc comment no longer says "every known cloud metadata endpoint outside it". It now describes the set by the criterion, states it is not exhaustive, and points at alwaysBlockedNetworks as the authoritative list. No longer contradicts README.md.

Blocking — README.md. The "It cannot open link-local or a known cloud metadata endpoint" bullet is replaced by the credential/user-data criterion, both properties spelled out, plus an explicit "treat this as best effort rather than a guarantee — it is a hand-maintained list". The existing not-exhaustive caveat below the table is kept and cross-referenced.

Finding 4 — Alibaba dropped from the 169.254.169.254 provider list in all three places: internal/delivery/ssrf.go, internal/delivery/ssrf_allowlist_test.go and README.md:178. The code and README versions now say "not Alibaba, which uses 100.100.100.200" so the attribution cannot drift back.

Finding 5 — README.md prefix and count. Now "The six ULA entries, all inside fd00::/8", "five providers", plus one clause stating that fd20:ce::254 masks into that same /8 so there is only one /8 involved, and that the six endpoints are five providers because AWS appears twice.

PR description rewritten on both points: it now says plainly that 168.63.129.16 and 147.75.207.243 were valid delivery destinations before this change and are refused with the variable unset, that this is the only behaviour change for deployments that never set it, and that it is deliberate. The superseded six-entry enumeration is gone, replaced by the criterion and a pointer to alwaysBlockedNetworks as the authority.

Rebase collision, fixed — this one was mine. #239 landed internal/resetpw/resetpw_test.go, which builds an fx graph containing handlers.New; this branch gives handlers.New a *delivery.Guard dependency, so TestResetThenLogin failed with missing type: *delivery.Guard. Resolved by providing delivery.NewGuard in that test app — the identical one-line fix already applied here to the handlers and server test apps. internal/gormlog passes; #234 no longer affects this branch.

Neither #225 nor #230 fired. All linting ran in the pinned golangci-lint:v2.12.2 container, nothing on the host. Both gate images removed; docker ps -a and docker images show nothing of mine. No prune was run. TODO.md and .golangci.yml untouched. Not relied on: the CI check mark, per #119.

(2): AWS IMDS and EKS Pod Identity, GCP, OCI instance principals, Alibaba RAM, Azure WireServer extension settings vend credentials; Scaleway `/user_data` `/conf`, Linode/Akamai, Oracle Classic and Equinix Metal vend user data or bootstrap material; the three alternate encodings of `169.254.169.254` inherit the qualification of the address they encode. **`100.80.80.80` (UCloud) and SoftLayer/IBM Classic not added**, per instruction — UCloud fails (2), and the IBM literal is unverified and would fail (1) inside `10.0.0.0/8`. **Blocking 3 — `internal/config/config.go`.** The `AllowedEgressCIDRs` doc comment no longer says "every known cloud metadata endpoint outside it". It now describes the set by the criterion, states it is not exhaustive, and points at `alwaysBlockedNetworks` as the authoritative list. No longer contradicts `README.md`. **Blocking — `README.md`.** The "It cannot open link-local or a known cloud metadata endpoint" bullet is replaced by the credential/user-data criterion, both properties spelled out, plus an explicit "treat this as best effort rather than a guarantee — it is a hand-maintained list". The existing not-exhaustive caveat below the table is kept and cross-referenced. **Finding 4 — Alibaba dropped** from the `169.254.169.254` provider list in all three places: `internal/delivery/ssrf.go`, `internal/delivery/ssrf_allowlist_test.go` and `README.md:178`. The code and README versions now say "not Alibaba, which uses `100.100.100.200`" so the attribution cannot drift back. **Finding 5 — `README.md` prefix and count.** Now "The six ULA entries, all inside `fd00::/8`", "five providers", plus one clause stating that `fd20:ce::254` masks into that same `/8` so there is only one `/8` involved, and that the six endpoints are five providers because AWS appears twice. **PR description** rewritten on both points: it now says plainly that `168.63.129.16` and `147.75.207.243` were valid delivery destinations before this change and are refused with the variable unset, that this is the only behaviour change for deployments that never set it, and that it is deliberate. The superseded six-entry enumeration is gone, replaced by the criterion and a pointer to `alwaysBlockedNetworks` as the authority. **Rebase collision, fixed — this one was mine.** https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/webhooker/pulls/239 landed `internal/resetpw/resetpw_test.go`, which builds an fx graph containing `handlers.New`; this branch gives `handlers.New` a `*delivery.Guard` dependency, so `TestResetThenLogin` failed with `missing type: *delivery.Guard`. Resolved by providing `delivery.NewGuard` in that test app — the identical one-line fix already applied here to the `handlers` and `server` test apps. `internal/gormlog` passes; https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/webhooker/issues/234 no longer affects this branch. **Gate — fully green, exit 0.** Head `15ada44`. `uptime` load 27.09/35.13/36.25 on 48 cores. `make check` — exit 0, zero `FAIL`, lint `0 issues.` `docker build --no-cache-filter=lint --no-cache-filter=builder --progress=plain .` — exit 0: ``` #15 [lint 7/9] make fmt-check DONE 1.8s #16 [lint 8/9] golangci-lint config verify DONE 0.8s #17 [lint 9/9] golangci-lint run 0 issues.

The eight `CACHED` lines are `#6`/`#8` (base-image `FROM` vertices) and `#28`-`#33` (final `stage-2` runtime layers). Zero `(cached)` test lines and zero `FAIL` lines in the log. 19/19 `TestGuardAllowlist_MetadataAlwaysRefused` subtests, `TestAlwaysBlockedNetworks_PinnedSet` and `TestGuardCheckIP_BothPathsShareOneDecision` all `PASS`. One disclosure on the evidence: BuildKit clipped `#25`'s output at its 2 MiB per-step limit, so 17 `ok` package lines are visible rather than all 20. `#25` still reports `DONE 65.4s` and `#26`/`#27` ran after it, which only happens when `go test ./...` exits 0; the host `make check` above covers every package with zero `FAIL`. Neither https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/webhooker/issues/225 nor https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/webhooker/issues/230 fired. All linting ran in the pinned `golangci-lint:v2.12.2` container, nothing on the host. Both gate images removed; `docker ps -a` and `docker images` show nothing of mine. No prune was run. `TODO.md` and `.golangci.yml` untouched. Not relied on: the CI check mark, per https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/webhooker/issues/119.

blockedNetworks does not cover in-cloud provider service networks on public unicast, e.g. IBM Cloud 161.26.0.0/16 and 166.8.0.0/14 #244

FAIL — needs-rework. The code is right; the landing commit message is not. Findings 1 and 2 from #217 (comment) were about the commit body; the rework at #217 (comment) rewrote the PR description and left the commit body byte-identical. Both defects are still on head 15ada44.

1. 15ada44 commit body: "Empty, the guard behaves exactly as before." is false. With ALLOWED_EGRESS_CIDRS unset, 168.63.129.16 (Azure WireServer) and 147.75.207.243 (Equinix Metal) are public unicast, are in no blockedNetworks entry, and are refused — the one behaviour change this PR makes to a deployment that never sets the variable. README.md and the PR body both state it correctly; the commit denies it. This repo squash-merges (default_merge_style: squash; every commit on next is single-parent with (#N) appended), so that body is the permanent record of a security control. Acceptable: say plainly that two public metadata addresses become unreachable by default.

2. Same commit body enumerates the superseded six-entry always-blocked set; the code ships fourteen. "It is the two link-local blocks (169.254.0.0/16, fe80::/10) plus host routes for the cloud metadata endpoints that sit outside them: AWS's IPv6 IMDS at fd00:ec2::254 ... and Alibaba's 100.100.100.200 ..." — the "It is X: [list]" construction reads as exhaustive. Absent from the record entirely: fd00:ec2::23, fd20:ce::254, fd00:c1::a9fe:a9fe, fd00:42::42, fd00:a9fe:a9fe::1, 192.0.0.192, 168.63.129.16, 147.75.207.243. The body also says "Reaching any of these is credential theft", while the criterion the code adopted is credentials or user data. Acceptable: enumerate the fourteen, or name the criterion and point at alwaysBlockedNetworks.

3. internal/delivery/ssrf.go:173,175 — the two public-unicast entries exceed the DoD and were already ruled out of scope. #204 asks for an escape hatch, not for the default blocklist to grow; #217 (comment) placed 168.63.129.16 and 147.75.207.243 explicitly out of scope ("their own issue against the default blocklist rather than in this rework") and the next rework added them anyway. They are strictly more restrictive, so no security regression — but they sit in alwaysBlockedNetworks, so an operator on Azure who legitimately needs WireServer has no recourse at all, and no test covers the unset-allowlist case that is the only one they change. Either move them to a follow-up issue against blockedNetworks, or keep them with sneak's sign-off — either way finding 1 must be fixed.

Non-blocking, verified at runtime: ALLOWED_EGRESS_CIDRS=",," and " " are set-but-yield-empty — no abort, no warning. Both fail closed (guard fully on) and both are the shared envPrefixList behaviour TRUSTED_PROXIES already has, so not the silent-default defect.

Everything else passes: DoD items all met; one Guard via fx into both handlers and the engine, checkIP the only decision point with exactly two production callers, no unguarded http.Client in the tree, clientForConfig reuses the guarded transport; dial-time re-resolve then dial of the checked literal, so rebinding is refused; alwaysBlockedNetworks ordered ahead of allows(); tests non-vacuous (allowlisted loopback both validates and delivers to a live server while the default guard refuses the same URL; 10.1.0.0/16 open, adjacent 10.2.0.1 refused on both paths); one commit, base next, TODO.md and .golangci.yml untouched, no Claude/Anthropic references or attribution trailers anywhere in tree or commit, inclusive terminology, title ends (closes #204). Test-merged into current next at f0512f1 in my own fresh clone: clean, no conflicts.

Startup-abort probe, run against the built image rather than read from the tests — docker run with ALLOWED_EGRESS_CIDRS=not-a-cidr exits 1 with invalid CIDR: ALLOWED_EGRESS_CIDRS: "not-a-cidr": ParseAddr(...); 10.0.0.0/8,192.168.0.0/99 exits 1 with prefix length out of range. Unset: starts, no warning. 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0, 10.0.0.7: starts and logs WARN ... allowedEgressCIDRs="0.0.0.0/0,::/0,10.0.0.7/32".

The only CACHED lines in the whole log are #6/#7 (base-image FROM vertices) and #28-#33 (stage-2 runtime layers) — zero in the lint chain #10-#17 or the builder chain #18-#27. Zero (cached) markers, zero FAIL. internal/delivery ok 4.675s; 19/19 TestGuardAllowlist_MetadataAlwaysRefused subtests, TestAlwaysBlockedNetworks_PinnedSet, TestGuardCheckIP_BothPathsShareOneDecision, TestAllowedEgressCIDRs (7/7) and TestEgressAllowlistWarning (2/2) all PASS. Pre-existing and untouched here: the gomodguard deprecation warning. CI on 15ada44 is success in 2m54s, unlike the earlier heads — recorded, not relied on. All linting ran in the pinned container; nothing on the host. Gate image and all probe containers removed; docker ps -a and docker images show nothing of mine. No prune was run.

Disclosures. My log is 2,316,713 bytes and BuildKit clipped #25 at its 2 MiB per-step limit, so 17 ok lines are visible rather than all 20 — #25 reports DONE 70.4s and #26/#27 ran after it, which only happens when go test ./... exits 0, and internal/delivery and internal/config both appear before the clip. I did not drive a delivery end to end through the HTTP API against an allowlisted destination; TestGuardAllowlist_PermittedCIDRDelivers does exactly that against a live httptest server and I confirmed it ran uncached in-container. I did not independently re-verify the vendor sourcing for the fourteen pinned addresses; that was established over the earlier rounds and the set is unchanged since f936210.

Rework on 15ada44 → 7cc2e20, still one commit, rebased on next at f0512f1.

Finding 3 (scope ruling). Removed 168.63.129.16 (Azure WireServer) and 147.75.207.243 (Equinix Metal) from alwaysBlockedNetworks, with the two subtests in ipv4MetadataRefusedCases and the two entries in TestAlwaysBlockedNetworks_PinnedSet that pinned them, plus the README rows and paragraph. Added a line to the alwaysBlockedNetworks criterion saying a publicly routable unicast address never belongs there, since nothing in that set can be reopened. Default-blocking them via blockedNetworks is #245 and is not implemented here.

Findings 1 and 2 were in the commit message body, not the PR description. Amended this time, verified with git log -1 --format=%B:

The "Empty, the guard behaves exactly as before" sentence is gone. It now reads "Empty, it adds nothing and the guard permits and refuses the same addresses it did before, save the two spellings named below."
The six-entry enumeration is gone. Replaced with the criterion — "credentials or user data", per the adopted wording — and a pointer to alwaysBlockedNetworks in internal/delivery/ssrf.go as the authoritative list, explicitly not copied into the message because a copy drifts.
New paragraph naming the one residual change on the unset path, rather than claiming there is none: ::a9fe:a9fe and 64:ff9b::a9fe:a9fe were reachable before and are refused now, because To4() normalises only the IPv4-mapped form. The other ten pinned entries are all inside blockedNetworks already, so for those only the error text changes, not the decision.

The PR description carried the same two now-false claims Finding 3 invalidated ("two public addresses become unreachable by default", "fourteen entries"). Those passages are corrected; the rest is unchanged.

FAIL — needs-rework.

Scope removal is complete in code — both literals are gone repo-wide and the pinned set is 12 entries with no Azure/Equinix — but not in the README prose, which now contradicts itself about that set.

README.md:121-126 — "By default every delivery target must resolve to a public address, and a handful of public ones are refused too. ... so are the cloud metadata endpoints listed below that happen to live on public addresses." No entry in the pinned table lives on a public address any more, and blockedNetworks holds no publicly routable unicast range at all. Line 207 of the same section says "Every entry above is reserved space" and lines 210-211 say "A publicly routable metadata address is not listed here" — the two passages cannot both be true, and an operator reading the opening paragraph is told the guard unconditionally blocks public addresses that it does not. Leftover from the removed 168.63.129.16/147.75.207.243 entries. Acceptable: drop the public-address clauses so the section describes only reserved space, matching the commit body's "A publicly routable address never qualifies".
README.md:2454 (security summary) — "known cloud metadata endpoints — several of which are ULAs or public addresses outside link-local — stay blocked whatever is listed". Same stale claim; "or public addresses" has to go.

Central disclosure verified and correct: re-derived the pinned set against pre-PR blockedNetworks under Go's Contains/To4() semantics — exactly the 10 named entries are strict subsets, and exactly ::a9fe:a9fe/128 and 64:ff9b::a9fe:a9fe/128 fall outside it (pre-PR v6 entries are only ::1/128, fc00::/7, fe80::/10; To4() normalises only ip[10]==0xff && ip[11]==0xff). No undisclosed residual behaviour change with the allowlist unset; blockedNetworks is identical to next. Also clean: body points at alwaysBlockedNetworks instead of copying it, criterion stated as credentials or user data, title ends (closes #204), one commit, base next, TODO.md and .golangci.yml untouched, no scope creep, no Claude/Anthropic strings, merges clean into next at f0512f1. Disclosure: the set-but-unparseable startup abort was verified through the code path and the fx-level test, not by executing the binary with the variable set.

**FAIL — `needs-rework`.** Scope removal is complete in code — both literals are gone repo-wide and the pinned set is 12 entries with no Azure/Equinix — but not in the README prose, which now contradicts itself about that set. 1. `README.md:121-126` — "By default every delivery target must resolve to a public address, and a handful of public ones are refused too. ... so are the cloud metadata endpoints listed below that happen to live on public addresses." No entry in the pinned table lives on a public address any more, and `blockedNetworks` holds no publicly routable unicast range at all. Line 207 of the same section says "Every entry above is reserved space" and lines 210-211 say "A publicly routable metadata address is not listed here" — the two passages cannot both be true, and an operator reading the opening paragraph is told the guard unconditionally blocks public addresses that it does not. Leftover from the removed `168.63.129.16`/`147.75.207.243` entries. Acceptable: drop the public-address clauses so the section describes only reserved space, matching the commit body's "A publicly routable address never qualifies". 2. `README.md:2454` (security summary) — "known cloud metadata endpoints — several of which are ULAs or public addresses outside link-local — stay blocked whatever is listed". Same stale claim; "or public addresses" has to go. Central disclosure verified and correct: re-derived the pinned set against pre-PR `blockedNetworks` under Go's `Contains`/`To4()` semantics — exactly the 10 named entries are strict subsets, and exactly `::a9fe:a9fe/128` and `64:ff9b::a9fe:a9fe/128` fall outside it (pre-PR v6 entries are only `::1/128`, `fc00::/7`, `fe80::/10`; `To4()` normalises only `ip[10]==0xff && ip[11]==0xff`). No undisclosed residual behaviour change with the allowlist unset; `blockedNetworks` is identical to `next`. Also clean: body points at `alwaysBlockedNetworks` instead of copying it, criterion stated as credentials or user data, title ends ` (closes #204)`, one commit, base `next`, `TODO.md` and `.golangci.yml` untouched, no scope creep, no Claude/Anthropic strings, merges clean into `next` at `f0512f1`. Disclosure: the set-but-unparseable startup abort was verified through the code path and the fx-level test, not by executing the binary with the variable set. Gate, own clone at `7cc2e20`, `docker build --no-cache-filter=lint --no-cache-filter=builder --progress=plain .` — exit 0. `#17 make fmt-check DONE 0.7s`; `#18 golangci-lint config verify DONE 0.3s`; `#19 golangci-lint run ... 0 issues.
