Purpose

Carry issue #124's exact HTTP-method-string policy boundary onto the current protected main without transferring stale predecessor evidence. This is the current-main replacement for Draft #196.

Exact identity

Security boundary

Reject non-exact str subclasses in HTTP method policy values before normalization, comma-separated parsing, or runtime authorization. Preserve exact built-in strings, current finite policy behavior, normalized (hostname, port) authorization, DNS/TLS/proxy/framing/resource limits, generic denial behavior, and existing public API.

Evidence discipline

Historical #196 checks, review state, mergeability, and base identity do not transfer to this head. Keep Draft until hosted exact-head CI/security/SAST complete, all current-head findings are addressed, actual immutable-pinned Dependency Review executes successfully rather than being skipped, and required Strix evidence is substantive rather than wrapper-only/unavailable. Do not self-approve, bypass, Admin-merge, or treat queued/skipped/status/model/predecessor evidence as passing.

Progresses #124. Supersedes #196 after this replacement is observable and #196 is closed as historical predecessor.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

HTTP 메서드 정책 값과 런타임 메서드 값에 정확한 내장 str 타입 검증을 추가했습니다. 문자열 서브클래스는 정규화와 쉼표 분할 전에 거부됩니다. 정책 생성 경로, 런타임 검사, 회귀 테스트, 문서를 갱신했습니다.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to ab51e

This change tightens HTTP method policy validation, but the current head may still invoke subclass-controlled behavior before rejecting non-exact strings, and its tests do not reliably protect that ordering. Merge should be blocked until validation precedes collection construction and the regression tests enforce that guarantee.

Review exact current head ab51ef1725bd20c898a3e3df82994b576e675e7b only against live protected main 7faf7a3b8a47980113982914000e724ab6a6cda5. Validate the exact built-in str boundary before comma splitting or method normalization across direct construction and both public factories, preservation of exact-string and iterable compatibility, generic runtime denial, documentation and release-history parity, and the five-file bounded scope. The current Security Scan wrapper predates the central fail-closed Dependency Review repair and is not merge authority. Submit a real current-head source-review verdict; do not mutate, merge, or treat wrapper/check transport as approval.

@seonghobae Source-review verdict: no findings.

I reviewed ab51ef1725bd20c898a3e3df82994b576e675e7b against 7faf7a3b8a47980113982914000e724ab6a6cda5.

  • The base-to-head diff changes exactly the requested five files.
  • The direct EgressPolicy constructor validates exact built-in str before comma splitting.
  • EgressPolicy.from_hosts and EgressPolicy.from_authorities use the same pre-split validation.
  • _normalize_allowed_method rejects non-exact str values before strip() or upper().
  • EgressPolicy.allows_http_method returns False for rejected runtime values.
  • The pinned transport path converts rejected runtime methods to the existing generic EgressNotAllowedError(EGRESS_NOT_ALLOWED) before pool dispatch.
  • Exact strings, comma-separated exact-string configuration, iterable configuration, deny-all behavior, and normalized authority-pair authorization remain unchanged.
  • The research documentation and release history describe the same policy boundary and compatibility contract.

This is a source-review result only. I did not mutate the branch, merge, approve, run tests, or treat wrapper or check status as merge authority.

allowed_methods를 검증한 후 frozenset으로 변환하세요.

from_hostsfrom_authorities는 exact-type 검증 전에 iterable을 집합으로 변환합니다. 이 과정에서 str 서브클래스의 __hash__가 실행될 수 있습니다. 각 원소를 _normalize_allowed_method로 먼저 검증하고 정규화된 값만 frozenset에 넣으세요.

정규화가 호출되지 않았음을 검증하도록 테스트를 강화하십시오.

strip()upper()self를 반환하므로, 타입 검사가 정규화 뒤로 이동해도 최종 거부 결과가 같으면 이 테스트는 통과합니다. 이는 문자열 서브클래스 코드를 정규화 전에 실행하지 않는 보안 경계를 검증하지 못합니다.

strip()upper()AssertionError를 발생시키도록 변경하십시오. 그러면 정책 생성과 런타임 권한 검사에서 정확한 타입 검사가 먼저 실행되는지 검증할 수 있습니다.

Current-head source review for ab51ef1725bd20c898a3e3df82994b576e675e7b found no blocking defect in the five-file HTTP-method policy integrity scope. The direct and factory comma-separated paths route subclass values through exact-string validation before split, every individual method requires exact built-in str before strip/upper, runtime authorization converts invalid subclass input to a fail-closed False, and ordinary exact strings, RFC 9110 token validation, uppercase normalization, deny-all sets and unconditional CONNECT rejection remain intact. This is author-side review evidence only, not independent approval. Keep Draft until corrected central Dependency Review/Strix evidence executes on the unchanged head and qualifying independent current-head review exists.
