🚨 Severity: HIGH
💡 Vulnerability: The proxy_memory and proxy_audio endpoints accept a user-provided path to construct the downstream URL. Missing validation for carriage return (\r) and line feed (\n) characters could allow CRLF injection (HTTP Request Smuggling/Splitting) when passed to the downstream httpx client.
🎯 Impact: Attackers could potentially inject arbitrary HTTP headers or manipulate the downstream request routing.
🔧 Fix: Added \r and \n to the explicit blocklist for path validation in both proxy endpoints.
✅ Verification: Ran unit tests to ensure proxy endpoints still function correctly and block invalid paths.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 5886050546245768712 started by @sheepdestroyer

Summary by Sourcery

Prevent CRLF injection through the memory and audio proxy endpoints by rejecting paths containing carriage return or line feed characters.

Bug Fixes:

  • Block carriage return and line feed characters in memory and audio proxy paths to prevent CRLF injection and downstream HTTP request manipulation.

Tests:

  • Add coverage confirming both proxy endpoints reject CRLF-containing paths with HTTP 400 responses.

Chores:

  • Record the CRLF injection vulnerability and prevention guidance in the Sentinel security notes.

Reviewer's Guide

The PR hardens both proxy endpoints against CRLF injection by extending existing path validation to reject carriage-return and line-feed characters in both raw and cleaned paths, adds focused HTTP 400 regression tests, and documents the security lesson.
