Several remote DoS vectors reachable by authenticated (and in some cases anonymous) users:

  1. HEIF/ISOBMFF unbounded recursion (stack overflow crash)relay/channel/ali/image.go recursively parses HEIF/ISOBMFF without depth bound; a crafted image request crashes the process. Add recursion depth + segment count limits.
  2. Auto-ban abuse (whole-fleet DoS) — channel auto-ban disables an entire channel on a single upstream 429/error-match. Any registered user can poison one request and take down every model on the channel. Add error-count threshold + window before disabling.
  3. Unbounded non-stream upstream response body (OOM) — relay handlers io.ReadAll upstream bodies with no cap; a misbehaving/malicious upstream can OOM the gateway. Add MAX_RELAY_RESPONSE_MB (default 64) via LimitReader.
  4. Unbounded page_size (DB/memory DoS) — list endpoints apply LIMIT directly from the user parameter; huge values pull the whole table. Cap page size at 1000.
  5. Realtime WS idle connection leak/v1/realtime connections have no idle timeout/heartbeat; clients can hold connections indefinitely (resource exhaustion, no billing while idle). Add idle timeout + close.

Each fix is minimal and configurable via env where appropriate. Build verified (go build ./...).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added configurable limits for non-streaming relay responses, defaulting to 64 MB.
    • Added safeguards for pagination values, including maximum page sizes and page numbers.
    • Improved automatic channel disabling by requiring repeated errors across multiple users.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Successful requests now restore channel health tracking.
    • Realtime connections prevent indefinite idle sessions while supporting active keep-alive traffic.
    • HEIF processing now safely handles deeply nested image metadata.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The pull request adds bounds for relay response bodies, pagination values, WebSocket reads, and HEIF recursion. It also adds time-windowed channel error tracking that gates automatic disabling and resets after successful relay requests.

Changes

Relay safety controls

Layer / File(s) Summary
Relay response size configuration and enforcement
constant/env.go, common/init.go, relay/channel/api_request.go
MaxRelayResponseMB is loaded from MAX_RELAY_RESPONSE_MB, defaults to 64 MiB, and limits non-stream response bodies.
Channel error streak gate
service/channel.go, controller/relay.go, go.mod
Channel errors require three events from at least two users within 60 seconds before disabling. Successful relay and task requests clear the streak.
Realtime WebSocket limits
relay/channel/openai/relay_realtime.go
Client and target WebSockets use 8 MiB read limits, refreshed 90-second read deadlines, and explicit closure on handler exit.

Input and traversal limits

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pagination bounds
common/page_info.go
GetPageQuery normalizes page values, caps page numbers at MaxPage, and applies page-size limits.
HEIF traversal depth bound
service/file_service.go
HEIF metadata traversal tracks recursion depth and stops after 16 levels.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 91b24

The PR adds response-size limits and realtime connection cleanup, but the current head still mishandles responses exactly at the configured maximum and can terminate healthy ping-only realtime clients or leave relay sockets open after shutdown. These bounded correctness and availability risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Poem

A rabbit checks each relay gate,
And keeps large payloads at a safe weight.
Three errors from two users ring,
While WebSocket deadlines spring.
HEIF burrows stop at sixteen deep—
Neat bounds help the service sleep.

Add regression tests for the recursion-depth boundary.

With the current root depth of 0, findISPE scans depth 16 and rejects depth 17. Add nested iprp/ipco fixtures for both cases. This verifies the depth+1 propagation and prevents an off-by-one regression in the DoS protection.

Refresh read deadlines in both WebSocket PING handlers.

SetPongHandler handles only received PONG frames. Gorilla's default PING handler sends a PONG but does not refresh the read deadline. A peer that sends only periodic PING frames can still hit realtimeReadTimeout on either connection. Install SetPingHandler wrappers that refresh the deadline and preserve the default PONG response. Add a test with a shortened configurable timeout instead of waiting 90 seconds.

Thanks for the review. All actionable comments have been addressed in 91b249e:

  • page_info: unified the page-size cap — MaxPageSize is now the single clamp (100) used by GetPageQuery.
  • relay.go: the channel error streak is now cleared on every successful path, including RelayTask.
  • api_request.go: the response-size cap now fails closed via a limitReadCloser (reads past the limit return an error) and Close is delegated to the original body.
  • relay_realtime.go: both client and target WebSocket connections are closed after the terminal select so the other reader unblocks promptly.
  • channel.go: streak deletion is now atomic with streak identity (CompareAndDelete) so a stale holder can no longer delete a newer streak.

Probe for EOF at the size boundary

When l.n == l.max, Read returns an overflow error before it can read io.EOF. A reader can return the final bytes with err == nil and return io.EOF on the next call, so io.ReadAll rejects bodies exactly max bytes long. Probe one extra byte or read up to max+1, and return the overflow error only when that extra byte exists. Add tests for max and max+1 byte bodies.
