getDidResolver() defaulted webOptions.allowedHttpHosts to
["localhost", "127.0.0.1", "0.0.0.0"] when called without webOptions, so a
default verifier sent plain http:// requests to its own loopback while
resolving an attacker-chosen did:web (e.g. did:web:127.0.0.1%3A6379),
before any signature check could reject the token. This contradicted the
did:web resolver's own documented default of [] and only applied when
webOptions was omitted entirely.
Default to no plain-http hosts, matching the resolver. Callers that need
plain http for local development opt in with
getDidResolver({ webOptions: { allowedHttpHosts: [...] } }); the
identity-a2a demo, which fetches a localhost did:web, does so, and the
local-did-host example docs now show the opt-in.
Fixes agentcommercekit#223.

Fixes #223
What
getDidResolver()now defaultswebOptionsto{}instead of{ allowedHttpHosts: ["localhost", "127.0.0.1", "0.0.0.0"] }, so did:web and did:jwks documents are fetched overhttpsonly unless the caller opts in.Why
When called without
webOptions, a default verifier sent plainhttp://requests to its own loopback while resolving an attacker-chosen DID (e.g.did:web:127.0.0.1%3A6379), before any signature check could reject the token. That contradicts the did:web resolver's own documentedallowedHttpHostsdefault of[](DEFAULT_ALLOWED_HTTP_HOSTS), and the permissive list only applied whenwebOptionswas omitted altogether: passing any otherwebOptions(say, atimeout) already meant no plain-http hosts.This is the fix suggested in the issue.
Behaviour change
This changes a default, so it is a
minorchangeset for@agentcommercekit/did(redirect refusal in #133 was alsominor). Anyone who relied ongetDidResolver()resolvinglocalhost/127.0.0.1/0.0.0.0DIDs over plain http now opts in:demos/identity-a2a(bank-client-agent.ts) is the one demo that really fetches a localhostdid:webover http, so it now opts in. Every other demo pre-populates the resolver cache with its own DIDs or usesdid:key/did:pkh, andturbo checkpasses for all of them.examples/local-did-hostservesdid:web:0.0.0.0%3A3458:*over http, which is presumably why0.0.0.0was in the old default. Its README and the matching docs page now show the opt-in (allowedHttpHosts: ["0.0.0.0"]).examples/issuerandexamples/verifieras they were: they are deployable, so opting them into plain http would reintroduce the exposure in example code.Testing done
packages/did/src/did-resolvers/get-did-resolver.test.ts: did:web over https for loopback hosts by default, https whenwebOptionsis omitted entirely (the case that was actually vulnerable; this test fails against the old default), did:jwks over https by default, and plain http when a host is explicitly allowed.packages/did: 88/88 pass.turbo check(build, typecheck and tests across all 29 tasks, including the demos and examples) passes;oxfmt --checkandoxlintare clean.pnpm@11(repopackageManager), run vianpx pnpm@11.24.0rather than a global install.Not covered
With plain http off,
did:web:127.0.0.1%3A6379still triggers anhttps://127.0.0.1:6379/...connection attempt, so an internal port can still be probed (a TLS handshake rather than an HTTP request to the service). Closing that needs a private-address restriction on the resolver, which is a separate change, so I left it out here.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
