Two improvements while investigating #147:
1. `obscura --version` / `-V` now print the CARGO_PKG_VERSION instead of
erroring out. The issue reporter explicitly called out that there was
no version flag, and the existing `obscura serve` banner is the only
way to discover the version.
2. New regression test in obscura-js verifies that a TypeError thrown
from one script does not poison the runtime: subsequent scripts and
DOM queries must continue to work. The reporter's symptom was that
offside.js crashing collapsed --dump text output to 1 byte; that
cascade should never happen and this test pins it down.
The classList error itself is offside.js's own bug (it indexes into the
querySelectorAll result without checking for an empty array) and only
fires when the .slideout-navigation element is absent from the DOM.
On current main that element parses correctly and offside.js runs
without error against a captured copy of the affected page.
The previous workaround in page.rs rewrote socks5:// to http:// before
handing the proxy to the stealth client. That works for Clash-style
mixed-mode proxies, but breaks plain SOCKS5 servers like `ssh -ND`,
producing a confusing `TunnelUnexpectedEof` deep in the network layer.
The stealth client is backed by wreq, which does not speak SOCKS5,
so silently substituting schemes can never be correct in general.
Refuse the combination at CLI startup with a clear message that tells
the user what to do (use --proxy http://... or drop --stealth) and
revert the rewrite in Page::new. SOCKS5 without --stealth still works
through the reqwest path.
Uses GitHub's native ubuntu-22.04-arm runner so it's a native build
matching the same glibc 2.35 floor as the x86_64 target. README gets
the matching install snippet.
GHSA-q55h-vfv9-qcr5. Any process able to reach the CDP port could
send Page.navigate {"url":"file:///etc/shadow"} and read arbitrary
local files (the process's UID's worth of read access). When obscura
runs as root inside Docker or as a systemd service that translates
straight into /etc/shadow, /root/.ssh/id_rsa, /proc/1/environ, etc.
Validate at the CDP boundary, not in obscura-net, so direct CLI
callers ("obscura fetch file://...") keep working. A new
BrowserContext.allow_file_access flag defaults to false; Page.navigate
returns an error when the requested URL is file:// and the flag is
off. CdpContext::new_with_security threads the flag from the server
entry point, and "obscura serve --allow-file-access" opts in for
local-HTML testing workflows.
Tested:
- Default obscura serve: CDP Page.navigate {file:///etc/passwd} ->
refused with descriptive error.
- obscura serve --allow-file-access: same call succeeds.
- obscura fetch file://... CLI path: unchanged, still reads the file.
- All earlier PoCs (GHSA-6pj9 JS->file SOP, GHSA-4789 sub-resource
SSRF, GHSA-4789 CSS template injection) still pass.
- cargo test --workspace clean.
Three findings from GHSA-4789-rq5x-jv3c.
HIGH-1: Sub-resource fetches (<script src>, <link rel=stylesheet>) had
no scheme gate, so an http(s) page could include
<script src="file:///etc/passwd"> and the body would come back as
script source. Added subresource_allowed() that mirrors the top-level
file:// SOP rule: file: sub-resources only load when the page itself
is on file:. Off-origin schemes (data:, javascript:, etc.) are
refused regardless. Private/loopback hosts were already blocked at
the obscura-net layer; this closes the file:// hole on top of that.
HIGH-2: CSS pulled from the network was string-formatted into a JS
template literal with a three-rule escaper (backslash, backtick,
${). That escaper did not handle U+2028 / U+2029 which terminate
ECMAScript template literals, letting attacker CSS break out and
run arbitrary code in the page's V8 realm. Replaced the inline
escape with escape_for_js_template_literal() which also handles
U+2028, U+2029, null, carriage return, and every other C0 control.
LOW-2: navigate_with_wait_post() capped JS-driven navigation chains
at ten but returned Ok(()) when the cap was hit, so callers could
not tell a successful load from a redirect storm. Now returns
PageError::TooManyRedirects(REDIRECT_LIMIT).
Verified with three PoCs (sub-resource SSRF, CSS template literal
break with U+2028, and the original GHSA-6pj9-j389-226p reproducer)
plus negative tests (file:// direct read, http -> http JS chain) all
pass. cargo test --workspace clean.
A page on http(s) could set window.onload, assign location.href to a
file:// URL, and then read document.body from the local file because
two things lined up: obscura-net allows file: URLs, and the JS
runtime was reused across navigations so window state from the prior
origin survived into the new document's load event.
Two fixes:
1. Refuse a JS-initiated chain step when it crosses from a non-file
scheme into file:. Direct file:// navigations from the CLI/CDP
still work because the gate only fires on the take_pending_nav
path. file -> file chains also still work.
2. Drop and rebuild the V8 runtime on every navigation instead of
only rebinding globalThis.document. Even within the same origin
we should not carry over window.onload, custom properties, or
registered event listeners from the previous document.
Tested with the PoC from the report: pages on http://127.0.0.1.nip.io
no longer leak the contents of file:///tmp/.../pwn.txt.
Adds a workflow that triggers on v* tag pushes and:
- Logs into Docker Hub using DOCKERHUB_USERNAME + DOCKERHUB_TOKEN secrets
- Builds the image from the existing Dockerfile
- Tags it with both the version (e.g. 0.1.4) and 'latest'
- Pushes both tags
GitHub Actions cache is used for layers to speed up subsequent builds.
Adds a multi-stage Dockerfile (rust:1-slim-bookworm builder → distroless/cc
runtime) plus a --host flag for obscura serve that defaults to 127.0.0.1
for safety but can be set to 0.0.0.0 so the container's port is reachable
via docker run -p mapping.
Dockerfile cherry-picked from #84. The SPA chunk loading commit from that
PR was left out — verified it didn't actually fix the Next.js webpack
errors on kiwi.com (#86).
