Filtering outbound requests | GitLab Docs

• Tier: Free, Premium, Ultimate
• Offering: GitLab Self-Managed, GitLab Dedicated

To protect against the risk of data loss and exposure, GitLab administrators can now use outbound request filtering controls to restrict certain outbound requests made by the GitLab instance.

Users with at least the Maintainer role can set up webhooks that are triggered when specific changes occur in a project or group. When triggered, a POST HTTP request is sent to a URL. A webhook is usually configured to send data to a specific external web service, which processes the data in an appropriate way.

However, a webhook can be configured with a URL for an internal web service instead of an external web service. When the webhook is triggered, non-GitLab web services running on your GitLab server or in its local network could be exploited.

Webhook requests are made by the GitLab server itself and use a single optional secret token per hook for authorization instead of:

• A user token.
• A repository-specific token.

As a result, these requests can have broader access than intended, including access to everything running on the server that hosts the webhook including:

• The GitLab server.
• The API itself.
• For some webhooks, network access to other servers in that webhook server’s local network, even if these services are otherwise protected and inaccessible from the outside world.

Webhooks can be used to trigger destructive commands using web services that don’t require authentication. These webhooks can get the GitLab server to make POST HTTP requests to endpoints that delete resources.

Prerequisites:

• You must have administrator access to the instance.

To prevent exploitation of insecure internal web services, all webhook and integration requests to the following local network addresses are not allowed:

• The current GitLab instance server address.
• Private network addresses, including 127.0.0.1, ::1, 0.0.0.0, 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16, and IPv6 site-local (ffc0::/10) addresses.

To allow access to these addresses:

1. On the left sidebar, at the bottom, select Admin.
2. Select Settings > Network.
3. Expand Outbound requests.
4. Select the Allow requests to the local network from webhooks and integrations checkbox.

Prerequisites:

• You must have administrator access to the instance.

System hooks can make requests to the local network by default. To prevent system hook requests to the local network:

1. On the left sidebar, at the bottom, select Admin.
2. Select Settings > Network.
3. Expand Outbound requests.
4. Clear the Allow requests to the local network from system hooks checkbox.

Prerequisites:

• You must have administrator access to the instance.

DNS rebinding is a technique to make a malicious domain name resolve to an internal network resource to bypass local network access restrictions. GitLab has protection against this attack enabled by default. To disable this protection:

1. On the left sidebar, at the bottom, select Admin.
2. Select Settings > Network.
3. Expand Outbound requests.
4. Clear the Enforce DNS-rebinding attack protection checkbox.

History

• Introduced in GitLab 15.10.

Prerequisites:

• You must have administrator access to the GitLab instance.

To filter requests by blocking many requests:

1. On the left sidebar, at the bottom, select Admin.
2. Select Settings > Network.
3. Expand Outbound requests.
4. Select the Block all requests, except for IP addresses, IP ranges, and domain names defined in the allowlist checkbox.

When this checkbox is selected, requests to the following are still not blocked:

• Core services like Geo, Git, GitLab Shell, Gitaly, PostgreSQL, and Redis.
• Object storage.
• IP addresses and domains in the allowlist.

This setting is respected by the main GitLab application only, so other services like Gitaly can still make requests that break the rule. Additionally, some areas of GitLab do not respect outbound filtering rules.

Prerequisites:

• You must have administrator access to the instance.

To allow outbound requests to certain IP addresses and domains:

1. On the left sidebar, at the bottom, select Admin.
2. Select Settings > Network.
3. Expand Outbound requests.
4. In Local IP addresses and domain names that hooks and integrations can access, enter your IP addresses and domains.

The entries can:

• Be separated by semicolons, commas, or whitespaces (including newlines).
• Be in different formats like hostnames, IP addresses, IP address ranges. IPv6 is supported. Hostnames that contain Unicode characters should use Internationalized Domain Names in Applications (IDNA) encoding.
• Include ports. For example, 127.0.0.1:8080 only allows connections to port 8080 on 127.0.0.1. If no port is specified, all ports on that IP address or domain are allowed. An IP address range allows all ports on all IP addresses in that range.
• Number no more than 1000 entries of no more than 255 characters for each entry.
• Not contain wildcards (for example, *.example.com).

For example:

example.com;gitlab.example.com
127.0.0.1,1:0:0:0:0:0:0:1
127.0.0.0/8 1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0/124
[1:0:0:0:0:0:0:1]:8080
127.0.0.1:8080
example.com:8080

When filtering outbound requests, you might encounter the following issues.

You can only select the Block all requests, except for IP addresses, IP ranges, and domain names defined in the allowlist checkbox if no configured URLs would be blocked. Otherwise, you might get an error message that says the URL is blocked.

If you can’t enable this setting, do one of the following:

• Disable the URL setting.
• Configure another URL, or leave the URL setting empty.
• Add the configured URL to the allowlist.

Most GitLab instances have their public_runner_releases_url set to https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/gitlab-org%2Fgitlab-runner/releases, which can prevent you from filtering requests.

To resolve this issue, configure GitLab to no longer fetch runner release version data from GitLab.com.

When you filter requests, GitLab subscription management is blocked.

To work around this problem, add customers.gitlab.com:443 to the allowlist.

When you filter requests, you might get an error that states Help page documentation base url is blocked: Requests to hosts and IP addresses not on the Allow List are denied. To work around this error:

1. Revert the change so the error message Help page documentation base url is blocked does not appear anymore.
2. Add docs.gitlab.com , or the redirect help documentation pages URL to the allowlist.
3. Select Save Changes.

When you filter requests, you might see 401 errors when trying to use GitLab Duo features.

This error can occur when outbound requests to the GitLab cloud server are not allowed. To work around this error:

1. Add https://cloud.gitlab.com:443 to the allowlist.
2. Select Save Changes.
3. After GitLab has access to the cloud server, manually synchronize your license
