The WebDAV service issued all eight requests directly from the browser, so WebDAV servers that do not send CORS headers for DAV methods (PROPFIND, MKCOL, COPY, MOVE, LOCK, ...) failed the preflight and surfaced as "Failed to fetch" / "CORS策略阻止了连接到WebDAV服务器".

The backend already exposes POST /api/proxy/webdav (server/src/routes/proxy.ts) and the matching backend.proxyWebDAV() (src/services/backendAdapter.ts), but the frontend never called them - proxyWebDAV had zero call sites in src/.

Consolidate the eight WebDAV call sites into a single davFetch() helper that uses the backend proxy when the backend is available and falls back to a direct browser fetch otherwise (so purely static/local deployments keep working). Existing timeout, AbortController, error classification and logger behaviour are preserved.

Also let /api/proxy/webdav accept inline credentials, so a connection test can run before the config has been persisted - at that point configId cannot be resolved on the server yet and the test would always fail with 404.

Summary

Verification

Run the following locally in this order before pushing:

npm run check:boundaries   # frontend layering guard (offline, fast)
npm run check:i18n -- --base origin/main
npm run check:pr-release-files -- --base origin/main
npm run lint               # eslint incl. no-restricted-imports boundary rules
npm run typecheck          # tsc -b --noEmit
npm run test:run           # vitest run (contract + unit tests)
npm run build              # vite build + bundle budget (<= 3000 KiB legacy entry)
git diff --check           # whitespace / merge-marker hygiene

CI runs the same set (see .github/workflows/ci.yml), with check:boundaries first so a
layering violation fails the job before the slower steps. Contributor PRs that bump
package.json / lockfile root version or edit versions/version-info.xml fail CI.
New UI copy must go through src/locales/{zh,en,ja,es,pt-BR,ru,zh-TW,fr,de,ko}/.

Scope checklist

  • Runtime/persistence/UI changes described. If this PR changes runtime behavior,
    persisted data (Store keys, version, partialize, migrate, merge — see
    src/store/persistence/options.ts and ADR 0001), or user-visible UI, describe the
    change and its migration impact below. Architecture-enforcement PRs should have none.
  • No new import of a business service directly into src/components/**
    (the ESLint no-restricted-imports / no-restricted-syntax rules and
    check:boundaries enforce this, including dynamic import(); if a component
    genuinely needs a service, add a hook in src/features/*/hooks/**).
  • No new import of React/JSX/the Store/any service into src/features/*/application/**
    (static or dynamic).
  • No inline eslint-disable to bypass the boundary rules — fix the layering instead.
  • No app version bump (package.json / server/package.json / lockfile root version) and no versions/version-info.xml edit. Releases are owner-only on main.
  • New user-facing copy uses t() / locale JSON, not hardcoded strings. Every built-in language has a real translation (not an English/zh copy). Brand tokens may use // i18n-allow-literal.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • 新功能
    • WebDAV 请求支持使用已保存配置,或直接提供服务器地址和登录凭据;后端可代理连接测试、文件上传与下载、目录操作及文件查询。
    • 桌面端可通过主进程发送 WebDAV 请求;请求支持超时设置与取消。
  • 错误修复
    • 后端代理保留响应的内容类型和文本内容,并正确处理多状态响应及无响应体的请求。
    • 未提供有效的已保存配置时,可使用完整的内联凭据发送 WebDAV 请求。

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

WebDAV 服务现在通过 Electron 主进程、后端代理或浏览器发送请求。后端代理支持内联凭据、超时设置和原始响应传递。连接测试、文件操作和服务器信息查询使用统一的请求入口。

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 6deda

The unified transports preserve the exercised WebDAV workflows and bounded timeouts. No material blocker remains; merge after normal checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6deda

The new desktop request bridge gives the main application page HTTP(S) read and write capabilities outside browser origin controls, increasing the potential impact of a compromised page. Backend private-network access already existed through saved configurations. Actual deployment exposure and remote mutation completion remain unverified.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: The new desktop WebDAV channel exposes destination-unbound native HTTP(S) reads and mutations to the main renderer. If attacker-controlled script executes in that preload-enabled page, it can supply destinations and headers and read responses without browser CORS restrictions. The handler does not bind requests to an approved WebDAV configuration or validate the sender. This is a conditional containment concern, not an established renderer compromise.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The desktop capability can reach HTTP(S) services accessible to the desktop host or its configured dispatcher, including local and private-network services. Reads and mutations remain subject to destination-side authentication. The inspected channel does not grant arbitrary filesystem access, and no cross-tenant or cloud-account compromise was established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A conditional path is attacker-controlled script in the preload-enabled main page, followed by webdavRequest with a chosen HTTP(S) URL, headers and method, then native fetch and response return. This bypasses browser origin restrictions. No initial script-execution exploit was demonstrated. The backend SSRF candidate is not treated as a newly introduced finding because the same caller could already persist an arbitrary destination and invoke the relaxed proxy.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The desktop window retains sandboxing, context isolation, disabled Node integration and webSecurity. Preload exposes the API only in the main frame. The new handler restricts protocols and methods, filters CRLF-containing headers and bounds request timeouts to 1–300 seconds, but ignores the IPC sender and does not restrict destinations. These controls prevent several non-network abuses without binding native network authority to a trusted WebDAV target.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Waiting is bounded, but timeout does not establish remote rollback. The Electron bridge does not forward the renderer AbortSignal, although it enforces its own timeout. Backend client cancellation does not provide an upstream cancellation contract in the inspected proxy call. Existing retries and partial directory creation therefore require treating interrupted mutations as potentially completed, without claiming a demonstrated new data-integrity failure.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Bind native WebDAV requests to an explicitly approved connection and validate the originating window, frame and trusted page. Preserve deliberate NAS access and pre-save testing through scoped approval rather than a blanket private-network prohibition.

- Around line 104-116: Update davFetch to forward init.signal and the applicable
timeoutMs to backend.proxyWebDAV, and extend proxyWebDAV’s parameters to accept
and pass both through to fetchWithTimeout. Preserve the existing request
behavior when either value is absent.
- Around line 104-116: Update the `backend.proxyWebDAV` response handling so
WebDAV responses are forwarded as raw text rather than JSON-serialized; preserve
the upstream content type and status, and enable raw-response preservation in
the proxy request so `PROPFIND` XML remains parseable by `listFiles`.

Comment thread src/services/webdavService.ts
CodeRabbit review 与自查发现的问题:

1. davFetch 未把 AbortSignal / timeoutMs 透传给 proxyWebDAV,导致
   testConnection 的 10s 超时与大文件上传的动态超时(最长 300s)全部失效;
   服务端固定 60s 超时还会先于客户端 abort 把上传掐断。现在两端的
   timeoutMs 一致传递,服务端按客户端值取值并夹在 1s~300s。

2. 服务端用 res.json() 回包,PROPFIND 的 207 XML 会被二次编码成带引号的
   JSON 字符串,listFiles() 无法解析。改为 preserveRawResponse + 原样
   send,并透传上游 Content-Type;204/304/HEAD 不带 body。

3. 恢复「缺少 configId 且无内联凭据 → 400 CONFIG_ID_REQUIRED」的契约
   (此前被并入 404),并拒绝非绝对路径:baseUrl 与 `@host/x` 拼接会形成
   userinfo 形式的跨主机 URL。

4. 桌面版(file:// 源 + webSecurity:true + 不带后端)此前会退回浏览器直连,
   等于该修复对 Electron 用户无效。新增 webdav-request IPC 通道,由主进程
   用 undici 代发(复用应用内代理),并把结果还原成标准 Response;
   主进程侧限制 http(s) 协议、DAV 方法白名单并过滤含 CRLF 的头值。

传输层优先级:Electron IPC → 后端代理 → 浏览器直连。
