Proxy Service Hardening — 5-Phase Update

Summary

This PR delivers a comprehensive 5-phase hardening of the GateSentry HTTP proxy, driven by a 96-test benchmark suite that validates RFC compliance, security posture, performance, and adversarial resilience (including patterns from 55 published Squid CVEs and 35 unfixed Squid 0-days).

Pre-hardening baseline (v1.20.6): 75 PASS · 3 FAIL · 17 KNOWN ISSUES · 1 SKIP
Post-hardening final score: 94 PASS · 0 FAIL · 1 KNOWN ISSUE · 1 SKIP

Phase Breakdown

Phase	Focus	Key Changes	Score After
Phase 1	Response header sanitization	sanitizeResponseHeaders(), hop-by-hop removal, X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff, conditional Content-Length fix	81 PASS
Phase 2	DNS wiring & SSRF hardening	Custom net.Dialer with GateSentry DNS resolver, SSRF blocklist (loopback/RFC1918/link-local), loop detection via X-GateSentry-Loop	84 PASS
Phase 3	Streaming response pipeline	3-path content router (scan / stream-large / passthrough-non-HTML), http.Flusher support for SSE/chunked, HEAD body skip	86 PASS
Phase 4	WebSocket & protocol support	Full WebSocket tunnel (101 Switching Protocols), DNS response caching with TTL, NXDOMAIN rcode preservation	90 PASS
Phase 5	Content scanning hardening	Via→X-GateSentry-Loop fix (unblocked nginx gzip), TRACE method blocking (405, XST mitigation), dead LazyLoad JS removal	94 PASS

Legacy Code Cleanup

Removed the entire application/proxy/ directory — dead code containing an expired 2018 CA certificate + private key hardcoded in source, wrapping an abandoned goproxy.v1 MITM proxy that was never wired into the current proxy pipeline. Cleaned all references from runtime.go, filters.go, start.go, and both go.mod files.

Files Changed (28 files, +7,059 / -387)

Core proxy:

• gatesentryproxy/proxy.go — 3-path response pipeline, SSRF blocklist, header sanitization, gzip compression, HEAD handling, TRACE blocking
• gatesentryproxy/websocket.go — Full WebSocket tunnel replacing 400 rejection
• gatesentryproxy/utils.go — isPrivateIP() SSRF helper
• gatesentryproxy/contentscanner.go — Dead LazyLoad JS removal
• gatesentryproxy/ssl.go — Minor fix

DNS server:

• application/dns/server/server.go — Response caching, NXDOMAIN rcode fix

Deleted (legacy dead code):

• application/proxy/certs.go — Expired CA cert + private key
• application/proxy/ext/html.go — Unused HTML rewriter
• application/proxy/session.go — Unused session handler
• application/proxy/structures.go — Unused structs

Test infrastructure:

• tests/proxy_benchmark_suite.sh — 96-test benchmark suite (15 sections)
• tests/proxy_concurrency_test.sh — Thread-safety test suite
• tests/testbed/echo_server.py — Adversarial HTTP endpoint simulator
• tests/testbed/setup.sh — nginx + testbed setup automation

Performance Results

Metric	Value
DNS throughput	58,495 QPS
HTTP proxy throughput	2,350 req/s
DNS latency	15ms avg
Proxy TTFB	8ms
100MB download	54.6 MB/s
MaxContentScanSize	2MB (tunable via GS_MAX_SCAN_SIZE_MB)

Remaining Work (deferred to next branch)

• §2.1 DNS caching — Currently KNOWN. Cache is implemented but only caches the first query per domain. Needs full TTL-aware eviction. Deferred intentionally.
• §12.2 SSE — SKIP (inconclusive test, actual flusher support is implemented)

Test Results

Full 96-test benchmark results are attached. See PROXY_SERVICE_UPDATE_PLAN.md for the complete hardening plan with phase-by-phase checklists.

CVE Survival Scorecard (§15)

  ✓ PASS  All 10 concurrent proxy requests succeeded

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
  SECTION 11 — LARGE FILE DOWNLOADS
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
  INFO  The proxy architecture has TWO code paths:
        ① Under 10MB: io.ReadAll buffers ENTIRE body in RAM, then scans, then forwards
        ② Over 10MB: limitedReader.N==0 triggers streaming io.Copy passthrough
        NEITHER path streams bytes to the client as they arrive.


── 11.1 Small file — 1MB (buffered path, under MaxContentScanSize) ──
  ✓ PASS  1MB download: 1.0MB in 0.089368s (11.2 MB/s)

── 11.2 Medium file — 10MB (MaxContentScanSize boundary) ──
  ✓ PASS  10MB download: 10.0MB in 1.349501s (7.4 MB/s)

── 11.3 Large file — 100MB (streaming passthrough path) ──
  ✓ PASS  100MB download: 100.0MB in 1.833158s (54.6 MB/s)

── 11.4 Time-to-first-byte (TTFB) — proxy buffering delay ──
  INFO  TTFB direct: 0.000820s | proxied: 0.008235s | ratio: 10.0x
  ✓ PASS  TTFB acceptable: 0.008235s (proxy may be streaming)

── 11.5 Download integrity (checksum comparison) ──
  ✓ PASS  Download integrity: checksums match (MD5: 3b74d53711801ae2f20dc7601e03dbca)

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
  SECTION 12 — STREAMING & CHUNKED TRANSFER
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
  INFO  A modern proxy MUST support:
        • Chunked Transfer-Encoding (HTTP/1.1 streaming)
        • Server-Sent Events (SSE / EventSource)
        • Long-lived connections (streaming video/audio)
        • Progressive delivery (send bytes as they arrive)
        The proxy currently has NO http.Flusher support.


── 12.1 Chunked Transfer-Encoding ──
  ✓ PASS  Chunked endpoint returns HTTP 200
  ✓ PASS  Chunked response: received 17 lines (expected ≥5)

── 12.2 Server-Sent Events (SSE) — time-to-first-event ──
  ⊘ SKIP  SSE test inconclusive

── 12.3 Streaming drip — timed byte delivery ──
  ✓ PASS  Drip completed in 2.423130s (server drips over 3s)

── 12.4 Large chunked response (100 chunks) ──
  ✓ PASS  1MB chunked stream: 1025KB in 0.016288s (HTTP 200)

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
  SECTION 13 — HTTP RANGE REQUESTS (RESUME DOWNLOADS)
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
  INFO  Range requests are CRITICAL for:
        • Resuming interrupted downloads (wget -c, curl -C)
        • Video seeking (Netflix, YouTube scrubbing)
        • Parallel download acceleration
        • PDF viewers loading specific pages
        The proxy strips Content-Length and re-encodes bodies,
        which likely breaks Range request handling.


── 13.1 Range request — first 1024 bytes ──
  ✓ PASS  Range request returns 206 Partial Content
  ✓ PASS  Content-Range header present: Content-Range: bytes 0-1023/1048576

── 13.2 Range body size — should be exactly 1024 bytes ──
  ✓ PASS  Range body size correct: 1024 bytes

── 13.3 Mid-file range — resume download simulation ──
  ✓ PASS  Resume download: 524288 bytes from mid-file (HTTP 206)

── 13.4 Multi-range request ──
  ✓ PASS  Multi-range request works (HTTP 206)

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
  SECTION 14 — MEMORY & RESOURCE BEHAVIOUR
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

── 14.1 MaxContentScanSize impact analysis ──
  INFO  proxy.go: MaxContentScanSize = 2MB (tunable via GS_MAX_SCAN_SIZE_MB)
        Responses under 2MB are buffered in RAM for HTML content scanning.
        Larger responses and non-HTML content stream through directly.

        With 100 concurrent HTML responses at 2MB max:
        → 100 × 2MB = 200MB RAM worst case
        → Non-HTML (images, JS, CSS) bypasses buffer entirely (Path A)

  ✓ PASS  MaxContentScanSize tuned to 2MB — reasonable for HTML-only scanning

── 14.2 Connection count under concurrent load ──
  INFO  Proxy connections: before=2, during-load=2, after=2
  ✓ PASS  Connections cleaned up after load (2 → 2)

  Detailed descriptions:

  1. NO DNS CACHING
     File: application/dns/server/server.go
     Func: forwardDNSRequest() — creates new dns.Client every call
     Impact: Every DNS query hits upstream (8.8.8.8), adds 10-30ms latency
     Fix: Add in-memory cache keyed by (qname, qtype) with TTL expiration

  2. PROXY USES SYSTEM DNS (not GateSentry)
     File: gatesentryproxy/proxy.go line ~25
     Code: var dialer = &net.Dialer{} — no Resolver field
     Impact: Proxy hostname resolution bypasses GateSentry filtering entirely
     Fix: Set dialer.Resolver to use 127.0.0.1:10053

  3. HEAD METHOD HANGS (intermittent)
     File: gatesentryproxy/proxy.go line ~488
     Code: io.ReadAll(teeReader) — HEAD responses have no body
     Impact: HEAD requests may time out depending on upstream behaviour
     Fix: Skip body read when r.Method == "HEAD"

  4. NO Via HEADER (RFC 7230 §5.7.1)
     File: gatesentryproxy/proxy.go
     Impact: Non-compliant with HTTP/1.1 proxy spec
     Fix: Add resp.Header.Add("Via", "1.1 gatesentry")

  5. NO X-Forwarded-For HEADER
     File: gatesentryproxy/proxy.go
     Impact: Upstream servers cannot identify original client IP
     Fix: Add r.Header.Set("X-Forwarded-For", clientIP)

  6. SSRF — ADMIN UI ACCESSIBLE VIA PROXY
     File: gatesentryproxy/proxy.go + utils.go
     Impact: Attacker can reach admin UI through proxy on 127.0.0.1:8080
     Fix: Block requests to loopback/LAN addresses in proxy handler

  7. NXDOMAIN RETURNS NOERROR
     File: application/dns/server/server.go
     Impact: Clients see NOERROR with 0 answers instead of NXDOMAIN rcode
     Fix: Preserve upstream rcode in response

  8. WEBSOCKET NOT SUPPORTED
     File: gatesentryproxy/websocket.go
     Code: Returns 400 'Web sockets currently not supported'
     Impact: WebSocket apps fail — chat, real-time dashboards, gaming

  9. ACCEPT-ENCODING STRIPPED
     File: gatesentryproxy/proxy.go line ~396
     Code: r.Header.Del("Accept-Encoding")
     Impact: Proxy fetches uncompressed, re-compresses — wastes bandwidth
     Fix: Conditionally preserve when content scanning not needed

  10. CONTENT-LENGTH MISMATCH
      File: gatesentryproxy/proxy.go — copyResponseHeader()
      Issue: Original Content-Length forwarded but body is re-encoded
      Impact: Clients may truncate or fail to read response body
      Fix: Set Content-Length after body processing, not before

  11. 10MB RAM BUFFERING PER RESPONSE
      File: gatesentryproxy/proxy.go line ~488
      Code: io.ReadAll(teeReader) with LimitedReader at 10MB
      Impact: Every response <10MB is fully buffered in RAM before
              a single byte reaches the client. 100 connections = 1GB+
      Fix: Stream-scan with fixed-size ring buffer, flush as scanned

  12. NO STREAMING / FLUSH SUPPORT
      File: gatesentryproxy/proxy.go
      Issue: No http.Flusher usage — cannot progressively deliver
      Impact: SSE (EventSource), live video, real-time APIs all break
      Fix: Use http.Flusher after each chunk, detect streaming content

  13. RANGE REQUESTS BROKEN
      File: gatesentryproxy/proxy.go — copyResponseHeader() + body handling
      Issue: Proxy strips/rewrites Content-Length, ignores Range semantics
      Impact: Cannot resume downloads, video seeking fails, PDF page-load fails
      Fix: Pass through Range/Content-Range/206 responses untouched
