## 2026-08-26 - Enforce HTTPS Endpoint Validation for Remote AI/API Endpoints

**漏洞：** Unvalidated custom AI endpoint URLs allowed unencrypted HTTP connections to remote servers, exposing API keys and request payloads to Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks.

**经验心得：** Users frequently configure custom API/AI endpoints, but allowing arbitrary `http://` schemes to remote domains poses a major network security threat. Allowing `http://` only on loopback addresses (`localhost`, `127.0.0.1`, `::1`) retains developer flexibility without compromising production data security.

**预防措施：** Always validate input URLs for network requests to enforce HTTPS for remote endpoints while explicitly whitelisting loopback hosts for local development.

🌐 Web query:

Dart Uri.tryParse("https:api.example.com/v1") hasAuthority host semantics Uri.hasAuthority official documentation

💡 Result:

The Dart Uri.tryParse("https:api.example.com/v1") method interprets the input string according to URI parsing rules, where the authority component must typically be preceded by // [1][2]. In the string "https:api.example.com/v1": 1. The scheme is identified as https [1]. 2. Because the scheme is immediately followed by a colon and then api.example.com (without the // indicator for an authority), the Dart Uri parser treats api.example.com/v1 as the path component of the URI rather than the host [1][2]. 3. Consequently, hasAuthority will return false for this Uri object [3][4]. 4. The host property will return an empty string, as no authority component is present [5]. If you intended for api.example.com to be treated as a host, the string must be formatted as "https://api.example.com/v1" [1]. Official documentation defines hasAuthority as a boolean property that indicates whether the URI has an authority component [3][4]. An authority component is defined as being composed of userInfo, host, and port, and in string representation, it is identified by the presence of // following the scheme [6][1][7].

拒绝没有主机的 HTTPS URI。

https:api.example.com/v1 的 scheme 为 https，但没有 authority，且 host 为空。当前校验会返回 true，setEndPoint 随后会保存该值。要求 uri.hasAuthority 且 uri.host.isNotEmpty，并为此输入添加拒绝测试。

values like https:api.example.com/v1 are rejected; add a test covering this
invalid input and preserve acceptance of valid HTTP/HTTPS endpoints.

@DylanBolin42，建议使用以下最小修改。

在 lib/services/settings_service.dart 中，要求 URL 同时具有 authority 和非空 host：

 static bool isValidEndpointUrl(String url) {
   if (url.trim().isEmpty) return true;
   final uri = Uri.tryParse(url.trim());
   if (uri == null ||
       !uri.hasScheme ||
+      !uri.hasAuthority ||
+      uri.host.isEmpty ||
       (uri.scheme != 'http' && uri.scheme != 'https')) {
     return false;
   }

这会拒绝以下值：

https:api.example.com/v1
http:localhost:11434
https:

同时保留以下有效值：

https://api.example.com/v1
http://localhost:11434
http://127.0.0.1:11434
http://[::1]:11434

在 test/unit/settings/settings_provider_test.dart 的无效端点测试中，增加此断言：

await expectLater(
  notifier.setEndPoint('https:api.example.com/v1'),
  throwsArgumentError,
);

该测试验证 AppSettingsNotifier.setEndPoint 不会持久化缺少 //host 的 HTTPS URI。

在加载时清理已保存的无效端点

load() 直接反序列化并返回 AppSettings，不会调用 isValidEndpointUrl。旧数据中的远程 HTTP endPoint 会继续保留；后续任一设置更新都会通过 _persist 再次保存该端点。加载后请校验 settings.endPoint，并在无效时将其重置为空字符串后持久化。同时添加远程 HTTP endPoint 的回归测试。

@DylanBolin42，建议将旧数据迁移逻辑放在 SettingsService.load() 中。_persist 是 AppSettingsNotifier 的私有方法，SettingsService 不能调用它。请在检测到无效端点后调用 SettingsService.save()。

  • 在加载设置后清理无效的 endPoint。
  • 只在端点无效时写回 SharedPreferences。
  • 在 SettingsService 单元测试中验证返回值和持久化数据。
