Waleed c620fdccf0 fix(security): chat attachment XSS, MCP OAuth SSRF guards, Teams clientState verification (#4877)
* fix(chat): prevent XSS in attachment preview via filename/data URL escaping

Replace document.write with an escaped blob URL preview: HTML-entity
encode the user-controlled filename and data URL, open with
noopener,noreferrer, and revoke the blob URL after navigation.

* fix(mcp): guard OAuth discovery and token revocation against SSRF

Route discoverOAuthServerInfo and the RFC 7009 revocation POST through an
SSRF-guarded fetch that validates every request URL via validateMcpServerSsrf
(blocking private/reserved/loopback targets, honoring ALLOWED_MCP_DOMAINS and
self-hosted localhost rules) and pins the connection to the resolved IP to
prevent DNS-rebinding TOCTOU. Previously these fetches used unvalidated global
fetch against URLs taken verbatim from attacker-controllable
authorization-server metadata.

* fix(webhooks): verify Graph clientState on Teams chat-subscription notifications

The microsoftteams_chat_subscription trigger set clientState=webhook.id when
creating the Graph subscription but never validated it on inbound change
notifications, so any request to the webhook path with a crafted notification
body was treated as authentic (CWE-345). verifyAuth now requires every
notification in the value array to carry a clientState matching the stored
webhook id (constant-time compare) and rejects payloads without notifications.
Validation handshakes (validationToken) are handled before auth and remain
unaffected; outgoing-webhook HMAC auth is unchanged.

* fix(webhooks): fail closed when Teams chat-subscription webhook id is unavailable

Hardens the clientState check so a missing webhook id (theoretically
unreachable, since the row is looked up by primary key) can never collapse
the expected value to an empty string that a forged clientState could match.

* docs(mcp): note AbortSignal does not bound SSRF-guard DNS lookup

* improvement(chat): hoist HTML escape map to module-level constant

Quickstart

Cloud-hosted: sim.ai

Sim.ai

Self-hosted: NPM Package

npx simstudio

→ http://localhost:3000

Note

Docker must be installed and running on your machine.

Options

Flag Description
-p, --port <port> Port to run Sim on (default 3000)
--no-pull Skip pulling latest Docker images

Self-hosted: Docker Compose

git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git && cd sim
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d

Open http://localhost:3000

Sim also supports local models via Ollama and vLLM — see the Docker self-hosting docs for setup details.

Self-hosted: Manual Setup

Requirements: Bun, Node.js v20+, PostgreSQL 12+ with pgvector

  1. Clone and install:
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git
cd sim
bun install
bun run prepare  # Set up pre-commit hooks
  1. Set up PostgreSQL with pgvector:
docker run --name simstudio-db -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=your_password -e POSTGRES_DB=simstudio -p 5432:5432 -d pgvector/pgvector:pg17

Or install manually via the pgvector guide.

  1. Configure environment:
cp apps/sim/.env.example apps/sim/.env
# Create your secrets
perl -i -pe "s/your_encryption_key/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
perl -i -pe "s/your_internal_api_secret/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
perl -i -pe "s/your_api_encryption_key/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
# DB configs for migration
cp packages/db/.env.example packages/db/.env
# Edit both .env files to set DATABASE_URL="postgresql://postgres:your_password@localhost:5432/simstudio"
  1. Run migrations:
cd packages/db && bun run db:migrate
  1. Start development servers:
bun run dev:full  # Starts Next.js app and realtime socket server

Or run separately: bun run dev (Next.js) and cd apps/sim && bun run dev:sockets (realtime).

Copilot API Keys

Copilot is a Sim-managed service. To use Copilot on a self-hosted instance:

  • Go to https://sim.ai → Settings → Copilot and generate a Copilot API key
  • Set COPILOT_API_KEY environment variable in your self-hosted apps/sim/.env file to that value

Environment Variables

See the environment variables reference for the full list, or apps/sim/.env.example for defaults.
