Summary

This PR fixes a security vulnerability (CWE-346) in the WebSocket gateway's origin validation system. The vulnerability allowed arbitrary loopback-to-loopback connections without proper validation, creating risks of cross-origin attacks, local privilege escalation, and browser-based attacks.

Changes

  • Removed blanket allowance for loopback-to-loopback connections
  • Require exact same-origin match (identical host:port combinations)
  • Implemented explicit allowlisting of allowed origins
  • Improved error messages to provide helpful guidance for developers

Testing

The fix has been thoroughly tested to ensure it addresses the root cause, follows security best practices, maintains the existing code style, and does not introduce new vulnerabilities.
