Restore success: false on route error responses in src/index.ts. The catch blocks already log the exception server-side; the remaining response shape ({ error: ... }) no longer matches the documented { success: false, error: ... } envelope and can break clients expecting the contract.

Escape untrusted content before applying the prompt boundary.
text, title, and body can contain <<<FIM>>>; inserting them verbatim lets an attacker close the delimiter early and place arbitrary instructions outside the supposed data region. Since the complete template is sent as one user message, this defeats the new prompt-injection mitigation.
Escape/encode delimiter sequences before interpolation (and add regression tests for delimiter-containing inputs). Preferably keep the behavioral policy in a higher-priority system instruction as well.

Node.js undici fetch SSRF IPv4-mapped IPv6 hostname DNS resolution
💡 Result:
In Node.js applications using Undici or native fetch, IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses (e.g.,::ffff:127.0.0.1) are a common vector for Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) bypasses [1][2]. If an SSRF protection mechanism checks only standard IPv4 or IPv6 ranges, an attacker can use these mapped addresses to represent private, loopback, or cloud metadata IP addresses, effectively evading validation logic that treats them as public IPv6 addresses [3][2]. The core issue involves two distinct technical challenges: 1. Normalization and Validation Mismatch: Naive validation layers often fail to normalize IP addresses before checking them against blocklists [3][1]. Attackers may use various encodings—including IPv4-mapped IPv6, octal, hexadecimal, or short-form IPs—to bypass these checks [1][2]. To be effective, validators must normalize all inputs to a standard canonical form or verify that the resolved IP address does not fall into any reserved, private, or non-routable range [4][2][5]. 2. DNS Rebinding and TOCTOU (Time-of-Check-to-Time-of-Use): A major security risk exists when DNS resolution and the subsequent TCP connection are not atomic [4][6][5]. Even if a hostname is successfully validated, an attacker can rebind the DNS record to a malicious IP (e.g., 127.0.0.1) between the validation step and the actual connection attempt [2]. To securely implement fetch in Node.js while mitigating these risks: - Pin the Connection: Use Undici's Agent API to inject a custom lookup function [4][2]. This function should perform DNS resolution, validate every resolved IP address against a comprehensive blocklist (including private ranges, loopback, link-local, cloud metadata, and IPv4-mapped IPv6), and return the validated IP to the connection handler [4][2][6][5]. By "pinning" the connection to this specific, validated IP address, the client ensures that the subsequent TCP connection cannot be hijacked via a second DNS resolution [4][2]. - Comprehensive Blocklisting: Ensure your IP validation logic explicitly includes IPv4-mapped IPv6 ranges (::ffff:0:0/96) alongside other reserved ranges like loopback (127.0.0.0/8, ::1), RFC 1918 (10/8, 172.16/12, 192.168/16), CGNAT (100.64/10), link-local (169.254.169.254), and IPv6 ULA (fc00::/7) [4][2][5]. - Handle Redirects: SSRF protections must be applied consistently to every hop during a redirect, as attackers can attempt to force redirects to internal resources [2][5][7]. For production environments, consider using established hardened wrappers or libraries—such as guarded-fetch, agent-fetch, or similar implementations—that handle these normalization, rebinding, and validation complexities by default [4][6][5][7].

SSRF allow-list still misses private targets behind DNS and IPv4-mapped IPv6.
isAllowedFetchUrl only checks the literal hostname, so a public domain can still resolve to an internal IP at request time. It also misses ::ffff:0:0/96 addresses ([::ffff:169.254.169.254], [::ffff:127.0.0.1] end up as ::ffff:a9fe:a9fe / ::ffff:7f00:1 here). Resolve the target host, validate every returned IP, and block IPv4-mapped IPv6 too.
