I’m not convinced automatic thumbnail discovery belongs in the relay. Thumbnails are already user-owned through metadata.thumbnail / --thumbnail, and an empty value can simply use the default card background. This change turns the relay into an HTML crawler, image proxy, cache, and Microlink client—adding a third-party dependency, privacy/quota concerns, and a large security surface for a presentation-only feature.
There is also a concrete SSRF gap: a same-host image uses the unguarded leaseClient for the entire redirect chain, while redirects only validate the scheme and count. A lease can therefore redirect that request to an internal address; the initial page fetch follows redirects without an address check as well. The cache is also unbounded and retains expired unique hostnames until they are requested again.
I suggest keeping the stable contract simple: users provide a thumbnail URL, otherwise the UI shows its default. If discovery is still useful, make it an explicit client/UI action that writes the selected URL into metadata.thumbnail. If relay-side automation is a firm requirement, the redirect SSRF and cache bounds should be fixed before merging.

One additional concern is the hard dependency on a single thumbnail vendor. Despite the generic THUMBNAIL_PROVIDER name, the only external provider is Microlink, with provider-specific request/response parsing and rate limiting embedded in the relay. There is no API-key configuration or explicit quota/failure policy, while Microlink does not publish a fixed free daily allowance. This makes a relay feature depend on one vendor’s availability, pricing, and API behavior for an optional presentation concern. Unless this dependency is an explicit product decision with an operational contract, it is another reason to keep thumbnail selection user-owned.
Generated card images went away with the presentation API in #289, and a lease that declares no metadata.thumbnail has since always fallen back to the default card background. Describing a service twice — once to the app and once on the command line — is the friction worth removing, not the missing image itself. An earlier attempt put this in the relay: it fetched each lease's page, followed its redirects, proxied the bytes back, and cached them. Review was right that this is the wrong place. It made the relay an HTML crawler and image proxy for a presentation concern, and it carried a real SSRF gap — the same-host path used an unguarded client for the whole redirect chain, so a lease could redirect the relay onto an internal address and have the response served back out. The tunnel already talks to the target; that is its entire job. Asking the target what image represents it adds no reach the tunnel does not have, and the request goes to the operator's own application rather than to something a stranger controls. So the relay is untouched here: this reads og:image, twitter:image or an icon link and writes it into the same metadata.thumbnail a user would have typed. Off unless asked for. --thumbnail-from-target (thumbnail_from_target for the agent) only applies when --thumbnail is empty, an explicit value is never second-guessed, and without the flag the target is not contacted at all — pinned by a test, because that is the promise. The value is stored absolute. metadata.thumbnail is an absolute URL by contract, enforced today by the dashboard's own tunnel command builder, so a relative reference resolves against the hostname the lease will answer at and anything that will not resolve is dropped rather than stored to render as a broken image. Only http and https are adopted: data: and javascript: parse as absolute and would otherwise pass for one. Failure is never fatal. An unreachable target, a page with no images, a 3s timeout — each leaves the thumbnail empty and logs why. The chosen URL is logged too, so the value is visible rather than guessed at.

You're right on all four points, and I've rewritten this rather than patched it. The relay side is gone — zero lines now changed under On the SSRF gap: confirmed, and it was worse than the summary suggests. I had audited the dialer guard and the address classification but never followed the redirect path, so I missed it in my own security pass. I could have guarded every hop and bounded the cache. Removing the surface is better than guarding it, and your alternative turned out to be simpler than the thing it replaces: the tunnel already talks to the target — that is its entire job. Asking the target which image represents it adds no reachability the tunnel does not already have, and the request goes to the operator's own application rather than to something a stranger controls. No crawler, no image proxy, no cache. On the vendor dependency: agreed, and Microlink is dropped entirely rather than made configurable. It was never an explicit product decision, and an optional presentation feature should not be the thing that introduces one. Screenshot generation for apps that advertise nothing is not in this PR; if it is wanted later it deserves its own discussion with the operational contract you described. On keeping the contract simple: Two details worth flagging for review:

Additional review context
- Go’s default
http.Clientfollows redirects, stopping after 10 consecutive requests. A customCheckRedirectreturninghttp.ErrUseLastResponseprevents following them. This is relevant to target fetching and SSRF boundaries. Request.WithContextpropagates cancellation and deadlines; verify the 3-second timeout context is attached to the actual discovery request.url.ResolveReferenceresolves relative URLs, whileURL.IsAbs()only checks whether a scheme exists. HTTP(S) acceptance therefore requires an explicit scheme validation, as described in the PR.- Public Go projects commonly disable redirects for security-sensitive HTTP retrieval; Nuclei also provides an explicit same-host redirect policy.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Use the effective relay URL list for relative thumbnails.
explicitRelayURLs is empty when the user relies on default relay resolution. In that path, relaySetURLs contains the usable relay URLs, but discoverThumbnailForExposure receives no hostname. It then drops target references such as /og.png.
Pass the effective public relay URL list instead of explicitRelayURLs. Verify the selected relay is the lease-serving relay for multi-hop routes. Add a regression test for an empty cfg.RelayURLs value and a relative og:image.

Enforce a real loopback-only target policy before fetching.
DiscoverThumbnail builds an HTTP request directly from targetAddr. utils.NormalizeLoopbackTarget does not enforce loopback; it delegates to utils.NormalizeTargetAddr, which accepts arbitrary hostnames and IP addresses. Add an actual loopback validator at this request boundary. Also reject or revalidate redirects because CheckRedirect is unset, allowing a loopback target to redirect the client to an arbitrary host. Add tests for both cases.

CodeQL flagged the request URL as built from a caller-supplied value. In the tunnel's own use that value is the operator's --target, which the tunnel already proxies every byte to, so the finding is not a new reach. DiscoverThumbnail is exported, though, and a string parameter that lands in a request URL is worth constraining regardless of who calls it today. The address is now split, validated and rebuilt from its parts, so a URL carrying a path, query or credentials is rejected rather than fetched, and only "/" on the target is ever requested.

I think this logic belongs in the tunnel CLI/agent layer rather than in sdk.
--thumbnail-from-target is a convenience feature for constructing lease metadata, not part of the tunneling/exposure contract itself. The SDK should ideally receive an already-resolved LeaseMetadata and remain agnostic about how metadata.thumbnail was discovered.
Keeping discovery in sdk expands the SDK's responsibilities into fetching and parsing the target application's HTML, adds ThumbnailFromTarget to the public ExposeConfig, and exposes DiscoverThumbnail as a public network-fetching API even though this behavior is only needed by the CLI/agent. It also makes the CodeQL finding look like a generic SDK capability rather than what it really is: an explicit CLI action against the configured tunnel target.
I would move thumbnail discovery to shared command-side code used by both portal expose and the agent, then pass the resolved thumbnail into sdk.Expose through Metadata.Thumbnail.
That would give us a cleaner boundary:
- CLI/agent owns
--thumbnail-from-target/thumbnail_from_target, target HTML inspection, and metadata construction. - SDK only transports the final metadata into the lease.
This also removes several problems from the SDK surface at once: ThumbnailFromTarget no longer needs to be part of ExposeConfig, DiscoverThumbnail does not need to be exported, and the security discussion can be scoped to the explicit CLI feature instead of a general-purpose SDK request path.
One additional simplification worth considering after moving it: only accept absolute HTTP(S) image URLs from the target. Open Graph already expects an absolute URL, and doing that would avoid coupling thumbnail discovery to relay selection/public-hostname resolution entirely.
Review was right that this does not belong in sdk. Choosing a value for
metadata.thumbnail is metadata construction, not part of the tunnelling
contract, and the SDK should receive a resolved LeaseMetadata and stay
agnostic about where the value came from.
Keeping it there cost more than it looked: ThumbnailFromTarget on the
public ExposeConfig, DiscoverThumbnail exported as a network-fetching API
that every SDK consumer inherits, and HTML fetching and parsing inside the
transport layer. sdk/ is now untouched by this branch -- zero lines.
It also reframes the CodeQL finding correctly. In sdk it read as "the SDK
issues requests to caller-supplied addresses"; here it is what it actually
is, an explicit CLI action against the target the operator just named on
the command line, which the tunnel proxies every byte to anyway.
The discovery now lives in cmd/portal-tunnel/thumbnail, shared by
`portal expose` and the agent, and both resolve the value before handing
metadata to sdk.Expose. The agent resolves only when a tunnel starts:
metadataFromTunnelConfig stays pure, so the metadata-update and snapshot
paths do not re-read the target every time.
Taking the reviewer's follow-on simplification too: only absolute http(s)
image URLs are accepted. Open Graph asks for one and metadata.thumbnail is
absolute by contract, so resolving a relative reference meant deriving a
lease hostname from a chosen relay -- coupling a card image to relay
selection, and leaving an arbitrary choice to document when several relays
are configured. All of that is gone: no publicHostname, no LeaseHostname,
no PortalRootHost, and the reviewer's open question about explicitRelayURLs
versus relaySetURLs no longer exists.
Two more from review while the code moved:
- Redirects are no longer followed. The target's front page is the whole
request; a redirect would send it somewhere the operator did not name,
so it is returned as a response and rejected by the status check.
- The flag and the three documentation sites said "og:image" while the
implementation also falls back to twitter:image and icon links. They
now state the order, and that only absolute URLs are taken.

Agreed on all of it, and moved in Discovery lives in Your point about the CodeQL finding was the one that landed hardest. I had escalated it as "dismiss or restrict to loopback"; both were wrong, because the real problem was the placement. In Absolute-only, as you suggested. This turned out to remove more than I expected. Resolving a relative reference meant deriving a lease hostname from a chosen relay, so it dragged in One thing I decided rather than inherited, worth flagging: in the agent, discovery runs only when a tunnel starts. Also from this round of review:
14 tests in the new package: preference order, stops at

| resp, err := client.Do(req) |

Follow-up on the CodeQL alert specifically: it moved with the code and now points at What changed is what a reader sees when they open it: a CLI package reading the target the operator passed on the command line, not a general-purpose SDK request path. That is the framing you argued for, and I think it makes the dismissal straightforward rather than debatable. It still needs someone with the permission to close it as "won't fix". Everything else on the PR is green. |

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Use the same target normalization as sdk.Expose.
dialTarget rejects 3000 because it requires host:port. The CLI accepts port-only targets, and sdk.Expose normalizes them after this resolver already runs. As a result, portal expose 3000 --thumbnail-from-target never performs discovery.
Replace this duplicate validation with utils.NormalizeLoopbackTarget. Add a regression test for a port-only target.

All three from review of the relocated code, all confirmed against it. The agent lost the discovered thumbnail. Keeping metadataFromTunnelConfig pure was right, but it made cfg the only source, and cfg never carries a value discovery supplied. UpdateSettings and Snapshot both rebuild from cfg, so the image appeared once at startup and the first metadata update erased it -- and the dashboard reported the tunnel as having none. The tunnel now remembers what discovery found and overlays it, with an explicit thumbnail still winning exactly as it does at startup. `portal expose 3000 --thumbnail-from-target` never looked at the target. The CLI accepts a bare port and sdk.Expose normalizes it afterwards, but resolution now happens before Expose, so the resolver saw "3000" and its own host:port check rejected it. It uses utils.NormalizeLoopbackTarget now, the same normalization Expose applies. Validating separately looked safer and was the whole bug; sharing it also keeps the guarantee that a target URL carrying a path or query is refused in one place rather than two that drift. url.Parse calls "https:card.png" and "http:/card.png" absolute because they carry a scheme, though neither has an authority. Both passed the absolute-URL requirement and would have been resolved by a browser against the dashboard instead of fetching anything. A host is now required.

Do not store an explicit thumbnail as a discovered thumbnail.
Line 725 stores exposeMetadata.Thumbnail unconditionally. thumbnail.Resolve returns the configured thumbnail without target discovery when cfg.Thumbnail is set.
If a later configuration clears Thumbnail, metadata reuses this old explicit value from discoveredThumbnail. UpdateSettings republishes the stale thumbnail, and Snapshot reports it.
Store discoveredThumbnail only when target discovery actually applies. Clear it when the configured thumbnail is used. Reuse it only while cfg.ThumbnailFromTarget remains enabled. Add a transition test for configured-thumbnail removal.

What
Generated card images went away with the presentation API in #289, and a lease that declares no
metadata.thumbnailhas since always fallen back to the default card background. The friction worth removing is describing a service twice — once to the app, once on the command line — not the missing image itself.So the tunnel client fills an empty
metadata.thumbnailwith theog:imagethe target already advertises. The relay is untouched: zero lines changed undercmd/relay-server/,types/orfrontend/.Why not in the relay
The first version of this PR put the discovery there. Review was right that it is the wrong place, and the concrete gap was real — I had audited the dialer guard and
isPublicAddrbut never followed the redirect path:leaseClientwas constructed withoutWithHTTPDialContext(guardedDialContext).CheckRedirect, so up to 10 redirects with no address check at all.fetchImage'sCheckRedirectcounted hops and checked the scheme, but never re-evaluatedsameHostand never consulted the guard.A lease could therefore redirect the relay onto an internal address, and on the image path the bytes came back out of
/api/thumbnail/{host}— not blind SSRF, but an exfiltration channel bounded only by the content-type allow list. The unbounded cache and the single-vendor Microlink dependency were accurate too.Those could each be fixed. Removing the surface is better than guarding it: the tunnel already talks to the target — that is its entire job. Asking the target what image represents it adds no reach the tunnel does not already have, and the request goes to the operator's own application rather than to something a stranger controls. No crawler, no image proxy, no cache, no third party.
Microlink is dropped entirely. Screenshot generation for apps that advertise nothing is not part of this PR; if it is wanted it should be its own product decision, as you said.
Contract
metadata.thumbnailstays exactly what it is — a user-owned absolute URL — and the client writes the same value a user would have typed.https://cdn.example/card.png/og.pnghttps://<lease-hostname>/og.pngdata:/javascript:Absolute is the contract:
normalizeAbsoluteHTTPURLalready enforces it in the dashboard's tunnel command builder. A reference that cannot be made absolute is dropped rather than stored to render as a broken image.data:andjavascript:parse as absolute URLs, so the scheme is checked rather than assumed.Relative references resolve against the hostname the lease will answer at, computed from the first relay via existing
utils.LeaseHostname/utils.PortalRootHost. Open Graph asks for absolute URLs, so this only matters for apps that deviate.Opt-in
--thumbnail-from-target, orthumbnail_from_targetin the agent config. Off by default.--thumbnailis empty — an explicit value is never second-guessed.Failure is never fatal: an unreachable target, a page with no images, or the 3s timeout each leave the thumbnail empty. A card image is not a reason to refuse to serve.
Tests
sdk/thumbnail_test.go, 14 cases: preference order and stopping at<body>(moved from the previous version), absolute kept, relative resolved, relative skipped with no hostname, fallback through the preference order, non-http schemes rejected, a page advertising nothing, an unreachable target, and the three decision cases — no opt-in makes no request, an explicit value makes no request, the opt-in uses exactly one.Verification
