Summary

The OOB hub API (/api/oob/v1/state, /api/oob/v1/config) is no longer readable cross-origin from a browser, and the hub rejects oversized WebSocket text frames before parsing them. The code does not depend on the control-token PR, but this PR does not stop cross-origin requests from being sent or a GET config change from taking effect: that needs the token PR to land with or before it.

What changed

  • Hub API responses carry no Access-Control-* headers; the process_response hook skips hub API paths. The cert page, static client and WebSocket upgrade keep their existing CORS headers.
  • The hub closes a connection with code 1009 when a text frame exceeds 256 KiB, before parsing it.
  • New test_wss_oob_cors.py plus a hub test for the oversized frame.

Validation

  • pytest in tests/python/core/cloudxr: test_wss_oob_cors.py, test_oob_teleop_hub.py, test_wss_static_client.py
  • SKIP=check-copyright-year pre-commit run --all-files
  • test_wss_oob_lifecycle.py (needs the native build; not run locally)

Known limitations / follow-ups

  • The frame check runs after websockets has received the whole message (the listener's max_size is None), so it avoids parsing cost but does not bound receive memory, and binary frames are only rejected after receipt. A transport-level limit for hub connections is a follow-up; a limit on the shared listener also affects the proxied signaling route and needs measuring first.
  • CORS preflight (OPTIONS) is answered before the request path is known, so it still returns the generic CORS headers. Responses to the hub API itself carry none, so a cross-origin page cannot read them.
  • The WebSocket Origin check and the HAProxy CORS headers in Dockerfile.wss-proxy are unchanged: the web client does not depend on CORS from either, and an allowlist could block self-hosted client setups. Without the control token, tokenless registration and GET config changes remain possible.

Test plan

  • CI green, including test_wss_oob_lifecycle.py
  • Merge the control-token PR with or before this one

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Oversized WebSocket messages are rejected with an error, and the connection closes.
    • OOB hub HTTP responses no longer include CORS headers. Other response paths continue to include them.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for oversized messages, OOB response headers, and other response paths.

📝 Walkthrough

The OOB hub rejects WebSocket text frames larger than 256 KiB before JSON parsing. It sends a BAD_REQUEST error and closes the connection with code 1009. OOB hub HTTP responses no longer include CORS headers, and the CORS helper skips normalized OOB hub HTTP paths. Other response paths retain CORS headers. Tests cover oversized frames and CORS behavior.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4cb67

Oversized frames can still consume substantial server memory before rejection, so the transport-level limit should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merging.

- Around line 85-86: Move incoming frame-size enforcement from the check on
`raw` against `MAX_FRAME_CHARS` into the WebSocket receive/protocol layer so
oversized messages are rejected before buffering; use a hub-specific server or
protocol if needed, and preserve the existing 1009 close behavior.
- Line 28: Define MAX_FRAME_CHARS as a byte limit and update the incoming
WebSocket payload check to compare the UTF-8 encoded size of raw against it,
rather than counting Unicode characters.

The hub API returns headset state and accepts config changes, but every
proxy response, including it, carried `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *`,
so any web page could read it from a browser.

- Hub API responses no longer carry CORS headers, and the
  process_response hook skips hub API paths. The web client's cert check
  uses no-cors fetch and its WebSocket needs no CORS, so the client is
  unaffected; the cert page and static client keep their headers.
- The hub rejects text frames over 256 KiB with close code 1009 before
  parsing them.

The 256 KiB check runs after websockets has received the whole message,
so it avoids parsing oversized frames but is not a receive-size limit.

Signed-off-by: Gareth Morgan <gmorgan@nvidia.com>
The 256 KiB check counted characters, so multi-byte text could exceed the
limit on the wire while passing. Compare the encoded size as well; the
cheap character count still rejects huge frames without encoding them.
