# HG changeset patch # User Kim Alvefur # Date 1685805004 -7200 # Node ID d043834f15d20d009ca8c549c035d2a6d7bda2e7 # Parent 90394be5e6a5d3470f8d54e17eb8c6a10732705d mod_http: Use RFC 7239 Forwarded header to find original client IP Prefer over X-Forwarded-* since it has an actual specification. Main practical difference is that Forwarded may carry more properties than only the IP address since it is a structured header. Since we parse it into an array, it is easier to do the logical thing and iterate backwards trough proxies until an untrusted one is encountered. Compare the handling of X-Forwarded-For. The 'secure' field now accounts for the full chain of proxies, which must be secure all the way to be considered secure. diff -r 90394be5e6a5 -r d043834f15d2 CHANGES --- a/CHANGES Sat Jun 03 17:10:12 2023 +0200 +++ b/CHANGES Sat Jun 03 17:10:04 2023 +0200 @@ -42,6 +42,7 @@ - mod_blocklist: New option 'migrate_legacy_blocking' to disable migration from mod_privacy - Ability to use SQLite3 storage using LuaSQLite3 instead of LuaDBI - Moved all modules into the Lua namespace `prosody.` +- Forwarded header from RFC 7239 supported ## Removed diff -r 90394be5e6a5 -r d043834f15d2 plugins/mod_http.lua --- a/plugins/mod_http.lua Sat Jun 03 17:10:12 2023 +0200 +++ b/plugins/mod_http.lua Sat Jun 03 17:10:04 2023 +0200 @@ -15,7 +15,8 @@ local moduleapi = require "prosody.core.moduleapi"; local url_parse = require "socket.url".parse; local url_build = require "socket.url".build; -local normalize_path = require "prosody.util.http".normalize_path; +local http_util = require "prosody.util.http"; +local normalize_path = http_util.normalize_path; local set = require "prosody.util.set"; local array = require "util.array"; @@ -319,6 +320,24 @@ local function get_forwarded_connection_info(request) --> ip:string, secure:boolean local ip = request.ip; local secure = request.secure; -- set by net.http.server + + local forwarded = http_util.parse_forwarded(request.headers.forwarded); + if forwarded then + request.forwarded = forwarded; + for i = #forwarded, 1, -1 do + local proxy = forwarded[i] + if is_trusted_proxy(ip) then + ip = normal_ip(proxy["for"]); + secure = secure and proxy.proto == "https"; + else + break + end + end + + -- Ignore legacy X-Forwarded-For and X-Forwarded-Proto, handling both seems unfeasible. + return ip, secure; + end + local forwarded_for = request.headers.x_forwarded_for; if forwarded_for then -- luacheck: ignore 631
