Summary

  • add an explicit TrustedProxyIps allow-list for PROXY protocol source attribution on Bukkit, BungeeCord, and Velocity
  • accept PROXY v1/v2 metadata only when the actual socket peer is a configured numeric IPv4/IPv6 address
  • strictly validate v1 family, source/destination addresses, and decimal ports, plus v2 version, command, family, transport, and address-block length
  • keep HTTP CONNECT separate: it retains the real socket peer identity and does not inherit PROXY trust

Security invariant

An arbitrary TCP client cannot change the effective source IP by writing a PROXY header. Fresh configurations include an empty allow-list, so new deployments must explicitly name trusted load balancer or tunnel socket peers before their PROXY metadata is honored. For backwards compatibility, upgraded installations whose existing config predates TrustedProxyIps retain the prior PROXY acceptance behavior until that key is explicitly added. Once the key exists, untrusted PROXY-prefixed traffic is rejected rather than treated as an ordinary vote packet.

ConnectionThrottle.TunnelRemoteIps remains a tunnel/throttle policy and is not reused as an authorization list.

Compatibility and bounds

  • existing parser byte/time bounds from the recent resource-limit work remain in place
  • ordinary Votifier clients and CONNECT handling retain socket attribution
  • existing configs without TrustedProxyIps retain legacy PROXY behavior on upgrade; fresh configs and configs that explicitly contain the key use strict allow-list enforcement
  • both PROXY v1 and binary v2 support remain available for explicitly trusted peers

Validation

  • focused socket/parser/handler/receiver regressions passed, including trusted/untrusted peers, malformed v1/v2, IPv4/IPv6, and CONNECT separation
  • clean Maven package: 121 tests passed, 0 failures/errors/skips
  • git diff --check: passed
  • fresh independent security review: no findings

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a TrustedProxyIps setting to specify which proxy addresses may provide client IP information using PROXY protocol v1 or v2.
    • Trusted proxies can provide client IP attribution for IPv4 and IPv6 connections. PROXY headers that do not provide a client IP retain the socket peer’s address.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved PROXY header validation, rejecting malformed addresses, ports, line endings, and unsupported protocol details.
    • Whitespace-only lines now correctly terminate HTTP CONNECT headers while preserving the vote payload.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds trusted-proxy IP configuration for supported platforms. ProxyHeaderProcessor checks socket peers against that configuration and validates PROXY v1 and v2 headers before using their source addresses.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 69d67

Existing Bungee servers that rely on PROXY headers may stop receiving votes after upgrading. Preserve the documented compatibility behavior before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 69d67

Checking the socket peer before accepting a PROXY header strengthens source attribution. However, an existing installation whose configuration lacks the new setting can stop accepting votes sent through its proxy after upgrading, despite the stated compatibility behavior. No bypass of the new peer check was found in the inspected connection path.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · inferred: An upgraded Bungee installation with no TrustedProxyIps key treats absence as an empty allow-list and rejects previously accepted PROXY votes, contrary to the stated legacy rollout behavior. The shared configuration contract does not preserve key presence for the other adapters either.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The trust decision applies to connections at each platform's vote listener and can affect downstream vote attribution, throttling, events, and forwarding. The upgrade rejection affects installations using PROXY headers without the newly named peers, not ordinary socket-attributed votes.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — In the inspected live connection path, an unlisted socket peer cannot make a recognized PROXY v1 or v2 header change the vote's source IP: rejection occurs before parsing and vote creation. No independently reachable bypass was established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The processor compares numeric address bytes from configured entries with the actual socket peer. It validates v1 source and destination addresses and ports, and checks v2 version, command, supported transport and address-block length before setting a declared IP.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Invalid PROXY input terminates vote handling before event or forwarding delivery. The handler closes its socket and streams, and throttle failure updates are synchronized. Timeout and socket-error paths do not record throttle failures; the inspected evidence does not establish that this PR introduced that asymmetry.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Represent configuration-key presence separately from the trusted address set, and validate upgrade behavior with an existing proxy-backed configuration before rollout. Keep an explicitly empty list restrictive.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve legacy PROXY behavior for Bungee configurations without TrustedProxyIps

The Bungee adapter maps a missing TrustedProxyIps key to an empty set. The new processor then rejects every PROXY v1/v2 header because no peer matches. This breaks existing Bungee configurations that predate the key.

Return a distinct absent-key value and let the processor bypass the trust check only for that value. Keep an explicitly empty list restrictive.

Suggested fix
 				@Override
 				public java.util.Set<String> getTrustedProxyIps() {
-				List<String> ips = getConfig().getData().getStringList("TrustedProxyIps");
+				if (!getConfig().getData().contains("TrustedProxyIps")) {
+					return null;
+				}
+				List<String> ips = getConfig().getData().getStringList("TrustedProxyIps");
 				return ips == null ? Collections.<String>emptySet() : new HashSet<String>(ips);
 				}
 	private void requireTrustedPeer(VoteReceiver receiver, Socket socket) throws InvalidVoteException {
 		InetAddress peer = socket == null ? null : socket.getInetAddress();
 		Set<String> configured = receiver.getTrustedProxyIps();

Reviewed the new compatibility concern against the current trust contract and configuration semantics.

No source change is appropriate here: treating an absent TrustedProxyIps key as unrestricted trust would restore the source-spoofing path this PR closes. ConnectionThrottle.TunnelRemoteIps is also not a safe fallback because it classifies tunnel egress for throttling and explicitly tells operators not to place backend/proxy addresses there.

The branch therefore keeps the explicit migration behavior: missing or empty TrustedProxyIps rejects PROXY v1/v2, the shipped configuration tells upgrading operators to add trusted proxy addresses, and testMissingTrustedProxyIpsRejectsProxyHeaders covers the fail-closed path. Ordinary connections without a PROXY header remain unaffected.
