+
+Strix Router gives you access to the best LLMs through a single API key.
+
+<Note>
+Strix Router is currently in **beta**. It's completely optional — Strix works with any [LiteLLM-compatible provider](/llm-providers/overview) using your own API keys, or with [local models](/llm-providers/local). Strix Router is just the setup we test and optimize for.
+</Note>
+
+## Why Use Strix Router?
+
+- **High rate limits** — No throttling during long-running scans
+- **Zero data retention** — Routes to providers with zero data retention policies enabled
+- **Failover & load balancing** — Automatic fallback across providers for reliability
+- **Simple setup** — One API key, one environment variable, no provider accounts needed
+- **No markup** — Same token pricing as the underlying providers, no extra fees
+- **$10 free credit** — Try it free on signup, no credit card required
+
+## Quick Start
+
+1. Get your API key at [models.strix.ai](https://models.strix.ai)
+2. Set your environment:
+
+```bash
+export LLM_API_KEY='your-strix-api-key'
+export STRIX_LLM='strix/claude-sonnet-4.6'
+```
+
+3. Run a scan:

+```bash
+strix --target ./your-app
+```

 1) Server-side request forgery (SSRF) in URL preview (Critical)
 The application fetches user-supplied URLs server-side to generate previews. Validation controls were insufficient to prevent access to internal and link-local destinations. This creates a pathway to internal network enumeration and potential access to sensitive internal services. Redirect and DNS/normalization bypass risk must be assumed unless controls are comprehensive and applied on every request hop.

@@ -130,22 +127,40 @@ Systemic themes and root causes
 - Authorization enforcement appears distributed and inconsistent across endpoints instead of centralized and testable.
 - Outbound request functionality lacks a robust, deny-by-default policy for destination validation.
 - Hardening controls (session lifetime, sensitive-action controls, logging) are applied unevenly, increasing the likelihood of successful attack chains.</parameter>
-  <parameter=recommendations>Recommendations
-Priority 0
- Eliminate SSRF by implementing a strict destination allowlist and deny-by-default policy for outbound requests. Block private, loopback, and link-local ranges (IPv4 and IPv6) after DNS resolution. Re-validate on every redirect hop. Apply URL parsing/normalization safeguards against ambiguous encodings and unusual IP notations.
- Apply network egress controls so the application runtime cannot reach sensitive internal ranges or link-local services. Route necessary outbound requests through a policy-enforcing egress proxy with logging.
+  <parameter=recommendations>The following recommendations are prioritized by urgency and potential risk reduction.

-Priority 1
- Centralize authorization enforcement for all object access and administrative actions. Implement consistent tenant-ownership checks for every read/write path involving orders, invoices, and account resources. Adopt deny-by-default authorization middleware/policies.
- Add regression tests for authorization decisions, including cross-tenant negative cases and privilege-boundary testing for administrative endpoints.
- Harden session management: secure cookie attributes, session rotation after authentication and privilege change events, reduced session lifetime for privileged contexts, and consistent CSRF protections for state-changing actions.
+Immediate priority
+These items address the most severe confirmed risks and should be prioritized for immediate remediation.

-Priority 2
- Harden file handling and preview behaviors: strict content-type allowlists, forced download for active formats, safe rendering pipelines, and scanning/sanitization where applicable.
- Improve monitoring and detection: alert on high-risk events such as repeated authorization failures, anomalous outbound fetch attempts, sensitive administrative actions, and unusual access patterns to business-critical resources.
+1. Remediate server-side request forgery
+Implement a strict destination allowlist with a deny-by-default policy for all server-initiated outbound requests. Block private, loopback, and link-local address ranges (IPv4 and IPv6) at the application layer after DNS resolution. Re-validate destination addresses on every redirect hop. Apply URL normalization to prevent bypass via ambiguous encodings, alternate IP notations, or DNS rebinding.

-Follow-up validation
- Conduct a targeted retest after remediation to confirm SSRF controls, tenant isolation enforcement, and session hardening, and to ensure no bypasses exist via redirects, DNS rebinding, or encoding edge cases.</parameter>
+2. Enforce network-level egress controls
+Restrict application runtime network egress to prevent outbound connections to internal and link-local address spaces at the network layer. Route legitimate outbound requests through a policy-enforcing egress proxy with request logging and alerting.
+
+3. Enforce tenant-scoped authorization
+Implement consistent tenant-ownership validation on every read and write path for business-critical resources, including orders, invoices, and account data. Adopt centralized, deny-by-default authorization middleware that enforces object- and function-level access controls uniformly across all endpoints.
+
+Short-term priority
+These items reduce residual risk and harden defensive controls.
+
+4. Centralize and harden authorization logic
+Consolidate authorization enforcement into a centralized policy layer. Require re-authentication for high-risk administrative actions. Add regression tests covering cross-tenant access, privilege escalation, and negative authorization cases.
+
+5. Harden session management
+Enforce secure cookie attributes (Secure, HttpOnly, SameSite). Implement session rotation after authentication events and privilege changes. Reduce session lifetime for privileged contexts. Apply consistent CSRF protections to all state-changing operations.
+
+Medium-term priority
+These items strengthen defense-in-depth and improve operational visibility.
+
+6. Harden file handling and content rendering
+Enforce strict content-type allowlists for file uploads and previews. Force download disposition for active content types. Implement content sanitization and scanning where applicable. Prevent inline rendering of potentially executable formats.
+
+7. Improve security monitoring and detection
+Implement alerting for high-risk events: repeated authorization failures, anomalous outbound request patterns, sensitive administrative actions, and unusual access to business-critical resources. Ensure sufficient logging granularity to support incident investigation.
+
+Retest and validation
+Conduct a focused retest after remediation of immediate-priority items to verify the effectiveness of SSRF controls, tenant isolation enforcement, and session hardening. Validate that no bypasses exist through redirect chains, DNS rebinding, or encoding edge cases. Repeat authorization regression tests to confirm consistent enforcement across all endpoints.</parameter>

+
+CRITICAL — HOW fix_before/fix_after WORK:
+fix_before and fix_after are LITERAL BLOCK-LEVEL REPLACEMENTS used directly for GitHub/GitLab PR suggestion blocks. When a reviewer clicks "Accept suggestion", the platform replaces the EXACT lines from start_line to end_line with the fix_after content. This means:
+
+1. fix_before MUST be an EXACT, VERBATIM copy of the source code at lines start_line through end_line. Same whitespace, same indentation, same line breaks. If fix_before does not match the actual file content character-for-character, the suggestion will be wrong or will corrupt the code when accepted.
+
+2. fix_after is the COMPLETE replacement for that entire block. It replaces ALL lines from start_line to end_line. It can be more lines, fewer lines, or the same number of lines as fix_before.
+
+3. start_line and end_line define the EXACT line range being replaced. They must precisely cover the lines in fix_before — no more, no less. If the vulnerable code spans lines 45-48, then start_line=45 and end_line=48, and fix_before must contain all 4 lines exactly as they appear in the file.
+
+MULTI-PART FIXES:
+Many fixes require changes in multiple non-contiguous parts of a file (e.g., adding an import at the top AND changing code lower down), or across multiple files. Since each fix_before/fix_after pair covers ONE contiguous block, you MUST create SEPARATE location entries for each part of the fix:
+
+- Each location covers one contiguous block of lines to change
+- Use the label field to describe how each part relates to the overall fix (e.g., "Add import for parameterized query library", "Replace string interpolation with parameterized query")
+- Order fix locations logically: primary fix first (where the vulnerability manifests), then supporting changes (imports, config, etc.)
+
+COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID:
+- Do NOT guess line numbers. Read the file and verify the exact lines before reporting.
+- Do NOT paraphrase or reformat code in fix_before. It must be a verbatim copy.
+- Do NOT set start_line=end_line when the vulnerable code spans multiple lines. Cover the full range.
+- Do NOT put an import addition and a code change in the same fix_before/fix_after if they are not on adjacent lines. Split them into separate locations.
+- Do NOT include lines outside the vulnerable/fixed code in fix_before just to "pad" the range.
+- Do NOT duplicate changes across locations. Each location's fix_after must ONLY contain changes for its own line range. Never repeat a change that is already covered by another location.
+
+Each location element fields:
+- file (REQUIRED): Path relative to repository root. No leading slash, no absolute paths, no ".." traversal.
+  Correct: "src/db/queries.ts" or "app/routes/users.py"
+  Wrong: "/workspace/repo/src/db/queries.ts", "./src/db/queries.ts", "../../etc/passwd"
+- start_line (REQUIRED): Exact 1-based line number where the vulnerable/affected code begins. Must be a positive integer. You must be certain of this number — go back and verify against the actual file content if needed.
+- end_line (REQUIRED): Exact 1-based line number where the vulnerable/affected code ends. Must be >= start_line. Set equal to start_line ONLY if the code is truly on a single line.
+- snippet (optional): The actual source code at this location, copied verbatim from the file.
+- label (optional): Short role description for this location. For multi-part fixes, use this to explain the purpose of each change (e.g., "Add import for escape utility", "Sanitize user input before SQL query").
+- fix_before (optional): The vulnerable code to be replaced — VERBATIM copy of lines start_line through end_line. Must match the actual source character-for-character including whitespace and indentation.
+- fix_after (optional): The corrected code that replaces the entire fix_before block. Must be syntactically valid and ready to apply as a direct replacement.
+
+Locations without fix_before/fix_after are informational context (e.g. showing the source of tainted data).
+Locations with fix_before/fix_after are actionable fixes (used directly for PR suggestion blocks).</description>

0xallam	c2fbf81f1d	fix(llm): Pass API key and base URL to memory compressor litellm calls The memory compressor was calling litellm.completion() without passing the api_key and api_base parameters, causing authentication errors when LLM_API_KEY is set but provider-specific env vars (OPENAI_API_KEY, etc.) are not. This matches the pattern used in dedupe.py.	2026-01-28 01:29:33 -08:00

LegendEvent	39d934ee71	chore: upgrade litellm to 1.81.1 for zai provider support Updates LiteLLM from ~1.80.7 to ~1.81.1 which includes full support for z.ai (Zhipu AI) provider using the 'zai/model-name' format. This enables Strix to work with z.ai subscription credentials by setting STRIX_LLM="zai/glm-4.7" with appropriate LLM_API_KEY and LLM_API_BASE environment variables. Changes: - Updated litellm version constraint in pyproject.toml - No breaking changes to Strix API or configuration Closes #ISSUE_ID (to be linked if applicable) Signed-off-by: legendevent <legendevent@users.noreply.github.com>	2026-01-23 12:16:06 -08:00
