First end-to-end run of the webhook pipeline (create → NATS → workflow → signed HTTP POST → retries → replay). The pipeline itself works; two things stopped it from being testable locally.

Fixes

Signatures were wrong in every dev setup. The workflow service signs deliveries with the secret the webhook service stored, but WEBHOOK_ENCRYPTION_KEY only existed in apps/backend/webhook/.env.dev. Workflow logged WEBHOOK_ENCRYPTION_KEY is not configured and signed with the ciphertext, so every Reloop-Signature failed verification. Production is unaffected because the installer shares one .env across services. The key is now in workflow/.env.dev too, and both setup docs say the two services must share it.

Local receivers could never get a delivery. The SSRF guard blocked loopback and private addresses even in development, so a receiver on localhost failed with Outbound request to private/local IP address 127.0.0.1 is blocked on the first attempt and never retried. postWebhook takes allowPrivate, set only when NODE_ENV=development, the same rule as the existing allowHttp. Production still requires public HTTPS; covered by a new test in packages/webhook-delivery/test/ssrf.test.ts.

Replay response now includes newDeliveryId. The controller already returned it; the route schema stripped it.

Verified locally (Postgres, Redis, NATS, real services, a signature-checking receiver)

  • Create webhook via API: secret encrypted at rest, returned once.
  • Manual trigger and a real DOMAIN_VERIFIED bus event: delivered, HMAC verified with the documented algorithm on 6/6 sends, idempotency key dedupes a double publish.
  • Receiver returns 500: delivery goes retrying, retries after 5 s, succeeds on attempt 2, attempt rows and counters correct.
  • Manual replay: new delivery linked to the original, delivered; unknown id gives 404.
  • matchConditions skips non-matching events, excludeFields strips fields from the delivered body.
  • bun test in webhook-delivery (23), workflow (17), webhook (3): all pass. 0 type errors in the touched services.

Not fixed here

bun run dev in the workflow service leaks a BullMQ worker on every hot reload, so after editing files old workers keep processing jobs with old code until the service is restarted. Worth its own change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Retrying a webhook delivery now returns the ID of the newly created delivery.
    • Development environments can send webhooks to HTTP and private or loopback addresses.
    • Private destinations remain blocked by default, while always-blocked address ranges stay protected in all environments.
  • Documentation
    • Added setup guidance for configuring the shared webhook encryption key.
    • Clarified webhook signing requirements and development versus production endpoint restrictions.

RetriggerConfidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge; the only new concern is a non-blocking test-portability issue on hosts without IPv6 loopback support.

Findings

  1. P2 IPv6 Test Is Not Portable

Summary

This PR makes local webhook delivery usable end-to-end by sharing the signing-secret encryption key with the workflow service, permitting private development endpoints while retaining always-blocked ranges, and exposing the replacement delivery ID from replay responses.

  • Keeps production webhook delivery restricted to public HTTPS destinations.
  • Pins development dual-stack targets to IPv4 when available.
  • Aligns the replay response schema and controller return type.
  • Adds SSRF classification, resolution, and IPv6 request coverage.

P2 IPv6 Test Is Not Portable

If the test runs on a machine or container without IPv6 loopback support, the unconditional ::1 bind rejects from server.listen and fails the suite even though the HTTP client behavior is otherwise valid. Please probe IPv6 availability and skip this platform-specific case when it is unavailable.

Reachability: External

Decode IPv4-mapped IPv6 literals before SSRF classification. Node normalizes this URL hostname to ::ffff:a9fe:a9fe. Its hexadecimal tail fails net.isIPv4(), so both classifiers allow it. resolvePublicTarget() pins the mapped address, and requestPinned() passes it to the socket lookup, which can send traffic to the mapped 169.254.169.254 endpoint.

Use one shared mapped-address decoder at the classifier boundary for both classifiers. Add coverage for ::ffff:a9fe:a9fe through resolvePublicTarget().

IPv6 multicast address TCP connect socket semantics RFC

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
It is not possible to use TCP with IPv6 multicast addresses [1][2]. TCP is fundamentally designed as a connection-oriented, point-to-point protocol that requires a unique, one-to-one relationship between two endpoints [1][2]. Multicast, by definition, is a one-to-many or many-to-many communication model [3]. The socket semantics for TCP and multicast are mutually exclusive for several technical reasons: 1. Connection Establishment: TCP requires a three-way handshake (SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK) to establish a connection [1][2]. This process relies on specific, unicast source and destination addresses to identify the connection [2]. If a client attempts to send a TCP SYN packet to a multicast address, the network will not be able to establish a unique connection because the destination is a group, not a single host [1][2]. Furthermore, any response (SYN-ACK) would necessarily come from a specific unicast address, which would not match the destination multicast address used by the initiator, causing the connection attempt to fail [2]. 2. Protocol Design: TCP includes mechanisms for flow control, congestion control, and reliable, in-order delivery that are based on feedback from a single peer [1][4]. These mechanisms cannot function in a multicast environment where there are multiple, potentially thousands, of receivers with different network conditions [1][4]. 3. Socket API: Standard socket APIs (as defined in RFC 2553, RFC 2133, and related standards) provide multicast support specifically for datagram-oriented protocols like UDP [5][6][3]. These APIs allow applications to join multicast groups and send/receive multicast packets using functions like sendto and recvfrom [5][6][3]. There is no equivalent standard mechanism for TCP to join a multicast group or manage multicast-based connections [7][1]. While there have been research protocols and experimental transport mechanisms designed to provide reliable, TCP-friendly multicast (such as TFMCC [4] or MTP [8]), these are distinct from the standard TCP protocol and are typically implemented in userspace or as specialized transport layers rather than using standard TCP socket semantics [4][9][8].

This Chapter gives the protocol-specific information that is relevant to the use of sockets in connection with TCP, UDP and ICMP over Version 6 of the Internet Protocol - IPv6. The IPv6 protocol is described in referenced document RFC 2460. To enable smooth transition from IPv4 to IPv6, the features defined in this Chapter may in certain circumstances also be used in connection with IPv4 - see section Compatibility with IPv4 ... IPv6 overcomes the addressing limitations of previous versions, by using 128-bit addresses instead of 32-bit addresses. The IPv6 address architecture is described in referenced document RFC 2373. There are three kinds of IPv6 address: Unicast Identifies a single interface. A unicast address can be global, link-local (designed for use on a single link) or site-local (designed for systems not connected to the Internet). Link-local and site-local addresses need not be globally unique. Anycast Identifies a set of interfaces such that a packet sent to the address can be delivered to any member of the set. An anycast address is similar to a unicast address; the nodes to which an anycast address is assigned must be explicitly configured to know that it is an anycast address. Multicast Identifies a set of interfaces such that a packet sent to the address should be delivered to every member of the set. An application can send multicast datagrams by simply specifying an IPv6 multicast address in the address argument of sendto() . To receive multicast datagrams, an application must join the multicast group (using setsockopt() with IPV6_JOIN_GROUP) and must bind to the socket the UDP port on which datagrams will be received. Some applications should also bind the multicast group address to the socket, to prevent other datagrams destined to that port from being delivered to the socket. A multicast address can be global, node-local, link-local, site-local or organization-local. The following special IPv6 addresses are defined: Unspecified An address that is not assigned to any interface and is used to indicate the absence of an address. Loopback A unicast address that is not assigned to any interface and can be used by a node to send packets to itself. Two sets of IPv6 addresses are defined to correspond to IPv4 addresses: IPv4-compatible addresses These are assigned to nodes that support IPv6 and can be used when traffic is "tunneled" through IPv4. IPv4-mapped addresses These are used to represent IPv4 addresses in IPv6 address format. See Compatibility with IPv4 ... The API provides the ability for IPv6 applications to interoperate with applications using IPv4, by using IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses. These addresses can be generated automatically by the getipnodebyname() function when the specified host has only IPv4 addresses (as described in tagmref_endhostent ). Applications may use AF_INET6 sockets to open TCP connections to IPv4 nodes, or send UDP packets to IPv4 nodes, by simply encoding the destination&`#39`;s IPv4 address as an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address, and passing that address, within a sockaddr_in6 structure, in the connect() sendto() call. When applications use AF_INET6 sockets to accept TCP connections from IPv4 nodes, or receive UDP packets from IPv4 nodes, the system returns the peer&`#39`;s address to the application in the recvfrom() recvmsg() , or getpeername() call using a sockaddr_in6 structure encoded this way. If a node has an IPv4 address, then the implementation may allow applications to communicate using that address via an AF_INET6 socket. In such a case, the address will be represented at the API by the corresponding IPv4-mapped IPv6 address. Also, the implementation may allow an AF_INET6 socket bound to in6addr_any to receive inbound connections and packets destined to one of the node&`#39`;s IPv4 addresses. An application may use AF_INET6 sockets to bind to a…[truncated] <title>RFC 4654 - TCP-Friendly Multicast Congestion Control (TFMCC): Protocol Specification</title> https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc4654/ Abstract This document specifies TCP-Friendly Multicast Congestion Control (TFMCC). TFMCC is a congestion control mechanism for multicast transmissions in a best-effort Internet environment. It is a single-rate congestion control scheme, where the sending rate is adapted to the receiver experiencing the worst network conditions. TFMCC is reasonably fair when competing for bandwidth with TCP flows ... and has a ... variation of throughput over time, making it suitable for ... streaming media. ... 1. Introduction This document specifies TCP-Friendly Multicast Congestion Control (TFMCC) [3]. TFMCC is a source-based, single-rate congestion control scheme that builds upon the unicast TCP-Friendly Rate Control mechanism (TFRC) [4]. TFMCC is stable and responsive under a wide range of network conditions and scales to receiver sets on the order of several thousand receivers. To support scalability, as much congestion control functionality as possible is located at the receivers. Each receiver continuously determines a desired receive rate that is TCP-friendly for the path from the sender to this receiver. Selected receivers then report the rate to the sender in feedback packets. ... [11 ... discuss packet formats ... This memo contains part of the definitions necessary to fully specify a Reliable Multicast Transport protocol in accordance with RFC 2357. As per RFC 2357, the use of any reliable multicast protocol in the Internet requires an adequate congestion control scheme. This document specifies an experimental congestion control scheme. While waiting for initial deployment and experience to show this scheme to be effective and scalable, the IETF publishes this scheme in the "Experimental" category. ... TFMCC is intended for multicast delivery. There are currently two models of multicast delivery: the Any-Source Multicast (ASM) model as defined in [6] and the Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) model as defined in [7]. TFMCC works with both multicast models, but in a slightly different way. When ASM is used, feedback from the receivers is multicast to the sender, as well as to all other receivers. Feedback can be either multicast on the same group address used for sending data or on a separate multicast feedback group address. For SSM, the receivers must unicast the feedback directly to the sender. Hence, feedback from a receiver will not be received by other receivers. ... 2. Protocol Overview TFMCC extends the basic mechanisms of TFRC into the multicast domain. In order to compete fairly with TCP, TFMCC receivers individually measure the prevalent network conditions and calculate a rate that is TCP-friendly on the path from the sender to themselves. The rate is determined using an equation for TCP throughput, which roughly describes TCP&`#39`;s sending rate as a function of the loss event rate, round-trip time (RTT), and packet size. We define a loss event as one or more lost or marked packets from the packets received during one RTT, where a marked packet refers to a congestion indication from Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) [9]. The sending rate of the multicast transmission is adapted to the receiver experiencing the worst network conditions. Basically, TFMCC&`#39`;s congestion control mechanism works as follows: ... TCP-friendly ... 3. Data Sender Protocol The data sender multicasts a stream of data packets to the data receivers at a controlled rate. Whenever feedback is received, the sender checks if it is necessary to switch CLRs and to readjust the sending rate. The main tasks that have ... by a TFMCC sender are: o adjusting the sending rate, ... and o assisting receiver-side RTT measurements. ... 3.3. Adjusting the Sending Rate When a feedback packet from receiver r arrives at the sender, the sender has to check whether it is necessary to adjust the transmission rate and to switch to a new CLR. ... cases: ... .

The functions that the application uses to pass addresses into the system are: bind() connect() sendmsg() sendto() The system will use the sockaddr_in6 address structure to return addresses to applications that are using PF_INET6 sockets. The functions that return an address from the system to an application are: accept() recvfrom() recvmsg() getpeername() getsockname() No changes to the syntax of the socket functions are needed to support IPv6, since all of the "address carrying" functions use an opaque address pointer, and carry an address length as a function argument. ... Applications may use PF_INET6 sockets to open TCP connections to IPv4 nodes, or send UDP packets to IPv4 nodes, by simply encoding the destination&`#39`;s IPv4 address as an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address, and passing that address, within a sockaddr_in6 structure, in the connect() or sendto() call. When applications use PF_INET6 sockets to accept TCP connections from IPv4 nodes, or receive UDP packets from IPv4 nodes, the system returns the peer&`#39`;s address to the application in the accept(), recvfrom(), or getpeername() call using a sockaddr_in6 structure encoded this way. ... 5.2 Sending and Receiving Multicast Packets IPv6 applications may send UDP multicast packets by simply specifying an IPv6 multicast address in the address argument of the sendto() function. Three socket options at the IPPROTO_IPV6 layer control some of the parameters for sending multicast packets. Setting these options is not required: applications may send multicast packets without using these options. The setsockopt() options for controlling the sending of multicast packets are summarized below. These three options can also be used with getsockopt().

CWE: CWE-918 — Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

Block IPv6 multicast addresses. ff00::/8 is an explicit always-blocked range, but the classifiers accept it. Bracket stripping and net.isIP allow a URL such as https://[ff02::1]/ to reach the pinned HTTP request path. Add an ff prefix check to isAlwaysBlockedIP and cover an IPv6 multicast literal in the SSRF tests. This is a contract and validation gap, not a practical TCP SSRF path because standard HTTP over TCP cannot connect to an IPv6 multicast destination.

In `@packages/webhook-delivery/src/ssrf.ts` at line 70, Update isAlwaysBlockedIP
to reject IPv6 literals with an ff prefix, preserving the existing
normalized-address checks, and add an SSRF test covering a bracketed IPv6
multicast URL such as ff02::1.
