Security Advisory: API-key destination allowlist bypass
apps/fee-payerrate-limit middlewareA sponsorship API key may be provisioned with
allowedDestinationsto restrictwhich contracts it is permitted to pay gas for. The enforcement check was gated
behind a truthiness test on the resolved destination:
tois resolved astransaction.calls?.[0]?.to ?? transaction.to. For acontract-creation transaction — or any deserialized envelope where neither
field is present —
toisundefined. The&& toguard then short-circuitsand the entire allowlist branch is skipped, so the request is sponsored
regardless of the key's configured allowlist.
A holder of a restricted key can therefore have arbitrary
to-lesstransactions (including contract deployments) paid for by the sponsor,
defeating the destination restriction entirely.
Resolution
The check now fails closed. When an allowlist is configured, an
undeterminable destination is treated as "not allowed" and the request is
rejected with
403:Keys with an empty
allowedDestinationsarray are unaffected (unrestricted).
