Summary

Fixes #4058.

isBlockedEgressHost() previously treated an empty hostname as allowed after trimming and removing trailing dots. This changes the behavior to fail closed and treat an empty hostname as blocked.

A regression test was added for the empty-hostname case.

Validation

  • npm run test -w @mcpjam/inspector -- server/utils/__tests__/hosted-egress-guard.test.ts
  • Result: 33/33 tests passed
  • git diff --check passed

Only the two intended files are included in the commit.


Summary by cubic

Blocks empty and whitespace-only egress hostnames. Before: empty hosts were allowed after trim and trailing-dot removal. Now: they are blocked, so the guard fails closed and whitespace/trailing-dot bypasses are prevented.

  • isBlockedEgressHost returns true when the normalized host is empty; adds unit tests for "", " ", and "\t\n" in @mcpjam/inspector.
  • No behavior change for valid hostnames; no config or migration.

Written for commit 8642ff3. Summary will update on new commits.

Walkthrough

isBlockedEgressHost now classifies empty hostnames as blocked. A test imports the function and verifies that empty and whitespace-only hostnames are blocked.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 93cd4

This localized change blocks empty or whitespace-only egress hostnames while preserving valid-host behavior, with targeted tests passing; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Warning

There were issues while running some tools. Please review the errors and either fix the tool's configuration or disable the tool if it's a critical failure.

🔧 ESLint

If the error stems from missing dependencies, add them to the package.json file. For unrecoverable errors (e.g., due to private dependencies), disable the tool in the CodeRabbit configuration.

Hi @matteo8p ,

The requested CodeRabbit feedback has been addressed, including regression coverage for whitespace-only hostnames (" " and "\t\n"), and the focused test suite is passing.

I also noticed that the required Build and Test and Run Tests workflows are currently waiting for approval, and GitHub indicates that a maintainer approval is required before the PR can be merged.

Whenever you get a chance, could you please approve the pending workflows and review the PR? Thanks! 🙏
