The network acknowledgement that install.sh writes for every passwordless LAN install also satisfied the tunnel guard, so one click on the welcome screen's tunnel link published full terminal control to a public URL with no login and no confirm. The tunnel now needs CODEMAN_ALLOW_UNAUTHENTICATED_TUNNEL or --allow-unauthenticated-tunnel (carried by web -d and service install), and with no login the browser asks before every enable, reading a new loginConfigured field from GET /api/tunnel/status.
The guard is now decided once per request and required again where the tunnel starts, so a save that found the tunnel running can no longer restart it unguarded after a concurrent stop.
Closes#706
An in-container hook curl carries Host: host.docker.internal:<port> (the derived
CODEMAN_API_URL), so the always-on host guard must allow host.docker.internal /
host.containers.internal or every in-container hook is blocked 403. Exact-match
only; not a browser DNS-rebinding surface (resolves to the host only from inside
a container netns). Verified end-to-end: quick-start launches claude/shell in a
real container with the workspace bind-mounted and hooks scaffolded.

Two hardening fixes for the public-tunnel exposure path (COD-54 / COD-55).
COD-54 — gate the /api/hook-event localhost bypass when a tunnel is up:
`cloudflared --url http://127.0.0.1:port` proxies internet traffic INTO the
loopback origin, so a tunneled hook request arrives with req.ip === 127.0.0.1
and the old bare-localhost bypass would pass it unauthenticated. Now:
- tunnel running → bypass requires a shared per-instance hook secret
(X-Codeman-Hook-Secret header; constant-time compare) + per-IP rate limiting
- tunnel not running (loopback-only, the normal case) → unchanged, so
already-deployed credential-less hooks keep working.
New src/config/hook-secret.ts; auth middleware takes a getTunnelRunning probe
(wired from server.ts via tunnelManager.isRunning()).
COD-55 — refuse starting the Cloudflare tunnel without auth:
enabling the tunnel publishes full terminal control to a public URL; with no
CODEMAN_PASSWORD the auth middleware is inactive and the bind guard never trips
(tunnel binds loopback). PUT /api/settings now refuses tunnelEnabled:true with a
403 (before persisting) unless CODEMAN_PASSWORD is set or
CODEMAN_ALLOW_UNAUTHENTICATED_NETWORK=1 is acknowledged. New
isUnauthenticatedNetworkAcknowledged() in network-auth-policy; settings-ui
surfaces the refusal as an error toast and reverts the toggle.
Scope: the always-on CSRF/Origin guard, Host-header allowlist, and
network-auth-policy itself are already upstream (#113) and not re-proposed here.
Verification: tsc, eslint, prettier, check:frontend-syntax clean; full test:ci
green (2723 passed), incl. test/cod54-hook-event-auth and
test/routes/system-routes-tunnel-guard.
Adds an always-on Host-header allowlist and a cross-site Origin/CSRF guard,
hardens the text/plain body parser, validates the WebSocket upgrade origin,
and escapes AI-derived fields in the subagent panel. Closes the two
CRITICALs and 5 HIGHs from the 2026-06-09 adversarial security review.
- C1: no Host allowlist -> DNS rebinding drove the full API (RCE) on the
default no-auth loopback install. New registerHostGuard rejects rebound
custom domains; allows loopback, any IP literal, the bind host,
*.ts.net / *.trycloudflare.com / *.cfargotunnel.com, the active managed
tunnel, and CODEMAN_ALLOWED_HOSTS.
- C2: a global text/plain parser JSON-parsed every body, enabling cross-site
simple-request CSRF. Parser now keeps the raw string; /api/crash-diag
self-parses; the global Origin guard rejects cross-site state changes.
- H1/H3/H6: self-update, session create/input, and settings/tunnel toggles
were CSRF-triggerable -> now covered by the Origin guard.
- H4: the subagent activity panel injected raw AI tool names/inputs into
innerHTML (executed under CSP 'unsafe-inline'). All sinks now escapeHtml'd.
- H5: the WebSocket upgrade had no Origin/Host check (CSWSH) -> now validated.
A missing Origin is allowed so curl/CLI and Claude Code hooks keep working;
custom reverse-proxy domains need CODEMAN_ALLOWED_HOSTS=host,.suffix.
Deferred: H2 (self-update tag signing, needs signing infra) and CSP
'unsafe-inline' removal (needs a nonce migration).
Tests: test/network-host-guard.test.ts (19), test/routes/ws-routes.test.ts
updated. Report: docs/reports/security-review-2026-06-09.md
