            Passing Varnish struct variables across VCL reloads
            Asked 2021-Jun-10 at 14:38

            I built a Varnish VMOD that defines an object, which is instantiated in vcl_init and is always kept in memory, and used in individual requests.

            My configuration is split up in several VCL files, that get loaded from a "master" VCL depending on some request parameters.

            The master VCL also instantiates the object in question, which I want to use in another VCL. The reason why I don't instantiate the object in the same VCL I use it in, is that I have another VCL that defines some ACL-restricted routes to update the object from a data source.

            E.g. master.vcl:

            You can't do this with objects directly as they are scoped by the VCL and can't "escape" it. As you've experienced, you need to load the labeled vcl first, so you also need to create the object in it.

            But nothing prevents you from creating objects that reference a global variable so all objects have access to the same data.

            Alternatively, you can use the Event function to use a PRIV_VCL (https://stackoverflow.com/a/60753085) also referencing a global pointer and avoid using objects completely. This is what is done here for example: https://github.com/varnish/varnish-modules/blob/master/src/vmod_vsthrottle.c#L345

            How to instruct varnish to generate the cache key based on response header data
            Asked 2021-Jun-10 at 12:48

            I need to do cache key generation/store based on the response header received from the backend not based on the URL requested from the client-side.

            The main reason for doing so is: I have a backend logic to reply to the client with some different data if requested things are not available.

            Ex: Request: example.com/foo/102030?names=test1 now, my backend checks for is test1 is present for 102030, if not it checks whether 102030 has a special tag = Y : basically tells that have to look for some other matching object.

            so, in that case, backed reply's to clients with data again, which can be accessible with example.com/foo/000000?names=test1.

            So, now the problem is if some other request comes with example.com/foo/000000?names=test1, varnish considers this as a different request based on URL but in actuality, I need to serve the same data which is already present in Cache with example.com/foo/000000?names=test1.

            Currently, I do Ban using some regex syntax from the backend, so in that case, I can easily invalidate the object which stored with /foo/000000?names=test1 not the other one.

            So, is there a way through which I can store the cache key based on the response header info?

            There's no way you can do this unfortunately. Only request information can be used to create the cache key.

            That is by design, because incoming requests only have their own request properties they can present to Varnish to identify the resource they wish to retrieve.

            How to invalidate varnish cached object with Ban expression
            Asked 2021-Jun-08 at 06:52

            Consider my requested url is www.example.com/foo/emplooyee?names = test1;test2. and varnish stores this entire URL along with query parameters to uniquely identify the cache.

            now, in my backend, I'm running one service and which I'm supposed to configure as whenever there are changes in names (i.e. test1 or test2) is should fire an HTTP ban with an older name (single name at a time in ban expression) to invalidate all the cached URL which entered with similar names.

            How to extract value from URL and check cache to load data in varnish
            Asked 2021-May-31 at 15:39

            I have a scenario where my URL will be either contains a comma delimiter with value or without. i.e. /api/parameters/XXXXXXXXXX?tables=x0 or tables=x0;x1;x2.

            now based on this URL I want to check in the varnish that, if URL contains multiple values as tables then separate that out and pass each table name in seperate URL (/api/parameters/XXXXXXXXXX?tables=x0, /api/parameters/XXXXXXXXXX?tables=x1, /api/parameters/XXXXXXXXXX?tables=x2) either to cache if miss then backend server.

            then based on the response of this need to combine the result and return it to the client. my question here is:

            1. How to segregate the value from the URL and pass a modified URL to varnish cache or backend.
            2. after returning the result I want to return it as a combined JSON object in a sequence of which it was originally requested with a comma delimiter(i.e. x0 result;x1 result;x2 result).

            It is possible to turn a single request into multiple subrequests in Varnish. Unfortunately this cannot be done with the open source version, only with the Enterprise version.

            vmod_http

            https://docs.varnish-software.com/varnish-cache-plus/vmods/http/ describes how you can perform HTTP calls from within Varnish using vmod_http.

            By sending HTTP requests to other URLs through Varnish, you can get multiple objects out of the cache and aggregate them into a single response

            No looping

            The fact that Varnish doesn't have loops makes matters a bit more complicated. You'll have so set an upper limit to the amount of values the tables querystring parameter has and you'll have to check the values using individual if-statements.

            Returning the combined JSON output

            Once you have fetched the results from the various URLs, you can create a JSON string and return it via return(synth(200,req.http.json)). Where req.http.json contains the JSON string.

            This will create a synthetic response.

            In Varnish Enterprise it is also possible to cache synthetic output. See https://docs.varnish-software.com/varnish-cache-plus/vmods/synthbackend/ to learn more about vmod_synthbackend.

            The solution I suggested in my answer uses Varnish Enterprise, the commercial version of Varnish. It extends Varnish capabilities with additional VMODs and features, which you can read about here. One easy way to try it out without upfront licensing payments, if you’re interested, is to spin up an instance on cloud infrastructure:

            Laravel : using Varnish and CSRF Token
            Asked 2021-May-03 at 12:43

            I'm using Varnish to cache Laravel pages.

            In order to display different CSRF Tokens for everyone, I use ESI to exclude CSRF from cache :

            app.blade.php

            ...

            ANSWER

            Answered 2021-Apr-05 at 15:58

            I'm afraid your VCL file has some issues. Not just in regards to the CSRF token, but also in regards to conventional caching behavior. Some of the basic rules of the [built-in VCL][1] are disregarded in your configuration.

            The Laravel documentation states that the CSRF token should match the value in the session data. However, your vcl_backend_response logic removes the Set-Cookie header almost unconditionally.

            I believe we're going to need both the Set-Cookie response header and the Cookie request header to make sure the Laravel session remains active.

            Understand the business logic

            Before we can write the proper VCL code, we need to make sure we understand the business logic behind CSRF tokens.

            According to https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/0d601f598a2434b8b126c06af75a0f089b10a102/src/Illuminate/Session/Store.php#L614-L617 the token is random string of 40 characters.

            At first sight, the token seems to be unique per session and not per request. This means we can cache them as long as we have a cache variation per session.

            Passing the CSRF token during a POST call

            https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/csrf states that CSRF tokens can be passed in 2 ways:

            • Through a _token post field
            • Through a X-CSRF-TOKEN request header

            If you're planning to use a post field, this is what you're going to add:

            The -H (header) flag allows you to specify a custom header in cURL. Your code already does this - great! All that's left is emulating the -I (head) flag.

            From cURL manpage for the -I option:

            Fetch the headers only! HTTP-servers feature the command HEAD which this uses to get nothing but the header of a document.

            To use the HEAD method, you need to specify it instead of GET:

            You need to set Xdebug's xdebug.client_host to the IP address of your IDE, which you indicated is 192.168.1.150.

            You also need to turn off xdebug.discover_client_host, as that would try to use the internal Docker network IP (172.100.0.2), which is not where your IDE is listening on.

            Remember: Xdebug makes a connection to the IDE, not the other way around.

            Vulnerabilities

            CVE-2017-8807 CRITICAL
            vbf_stp_error in bin/varnishd/cache/cache_fetch.c in Varnish HTTP Cache 4.1.x before 4.1.9 and 5.x before 5.2.1 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory because a VFP_GetStorage buffer is larger than intended in certain circumstances involving -sfile Stevedore transient objects.
            ** DISPUTED ** Varnish 2.0.6 writes data to a log file without sanitizing non-printable characters, which might allow remote attackers to modify a window's title, or possibly execute arbitrary commands or overwrite files, via an HTTP request containing an escape sequence for a terminal emulator. NOTE: the vendor disputes the significance of this report, stating that "This is not a security problem in Varnish or any other piece of software which writes a logfile. The real problem is the mistaken belief that you can cat(1) a random logfile to your terminal safely."
            ** DISPUTED ** The Command Line Interface (aka Server CLI or administration interface) in the master process in the reverse proxy server in Varnish before 2.1.0 does not require authentication for commands received through a TCP port, which allows remote attackers to (1) execute arbitrary code via a vcl.inline directive that provides a VCL configuration file containing inline C code; (2) change the ownership of the master process via param.set, stop, and start directives; (3) read the initial line of an arbitrary file via a vcl.load directive; or (4) conduct cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks that leverage a victim's location on a trusted network and improper input validation of directives. NOTE: the vendor disputes this report, saying that it is "fundamentally misguided and pointless."
            An issue was discovered in Varnish HTTP Cache 4.0.1 through 4.0.4, 4.1.0 through 4.1.7, 5.0.0, and 5.1.0 through 5.1.2. A wrong if statement in the varnishd source code means that particular invalid requests from the client can trigger an assert, related to an Integer Overflow. This causes the varnishd worker process to abort and restart, losing the cached contents in the process. An attacker can therefore crash the varnishd worker process on demand and effectively keep it from serving content - a Denial-of-Service attack. The specific source-code filename containing the incorrect statement varies across releases.
            varnish 3.0.3 uses world-readable permissions for the /var/log/varnish/ directory and the log files in the directory, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading the files. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
            Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the Varnish module 6.x-1.x before 6.x-1.2 and 7.x-1.x before 7.x-1.0-beta2 for Drupal allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via crafted a (1) Watchdog message or (2) admin setting.
