Summary

  • Add shared request fingerprinting (pkg/input/dedupe) and use it in multiformat HTTP inputs (burp, openapi, swagger, jsonl, yaml) so equivalent requests are skipped during count/iterate
  • Point live DAST server dedupe at the same helper

Closes #4962

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • HTTP input processing now skips duplicate requests and reports how many were removed.
    • Requests can be recognized as duplicates despite differences in query parameter order, host or scheme casing, URL fragments, or dynamic headers.
    • Request bodies, stable headers, and authorization or cookie values help distinguish requests.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented equivalent HTTP requests from being processed multiple times in server request handling.

Changes

HTTP request deduplication

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared request fingerprinting
pkg/input/dedupe/dedupe.go, pkg/input/dedupe/dedupe_test.go
Adds concurrent request deduplication using normalized URLs, filtered headers, HTTP methods, and optional bodies, with tests for equivalent and distinct requests.
Server deduplicator integration
internal/server/dedupe.go
Replaces the server-local hashing implementation with the shared RequestDeduplicator.
HTTP input provider deduplication
pkg/input/provider/http/multiformat.go, pkg/input/provider/http/multiformat_test.go
Deduplicates provider parsing and iteration, tracks duplicate counts, logs removals, and tests JSONL inputs.

Priority: Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Some requests with different conditional headers may be skipped, leaving a narrow fuzzing coverage gap. The PR is mergeable with owner awareness, though retaining those headers in the fingerprint would close the gap.

Explanation

Issue #4962 requests URL deduplication for fuzzing and gives no additional coding criteria. The PR adds shared request fingerprinting in pkg/input/dedupe. The HTTP input provider applies it during counting and iteration for Burp, OpenAPI, Swagger, JSONL, and YAML inputs. Tests cover duplicate filtering and request differences. The live DAST server also uses the shared deduplicator.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes in internal/tests/testutils/integration.go, internal/tests/testutils/integration_test.go, and internal/tests/integration/network_test.go add and adopt TCP connection draining and closing behavior. These changes do not implement or test URL or request deduplication for issue #4962. The deduplication changes and their focused tests remain in scope.

Resolution

Remove the unrelated TCP connection helper and its network-test changes from this pull request, or move them to a separate pull request.

125-142: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Host casing and URL fragment are not normalized.

NormalizeURL preserves the original host casing and fragment. Per RFC 3986 hosts are case-insensitive, and fragments are never sent to the server, so two otherwise-identical requests differing only in host case or fragment will not be deduplicated (a missed-dedup false negative, not a false positive). Low risk since it only reduces dedup effectiveness rather than dropping legitimate requests; consider lowercasing scheme/host and stripping the fragment for more complete normalization.

- Around line 97-122: Update the fingerprint construction in the request hashing
function to delimit every serialized field, including method, normalizedURL,
each sorted header key and value, and body, before computing the SHA-256 hash.
Use an unambiguous separator or length-prefixed encoding consistently so
distinct field boundaries cannot produce the same hash input, while preserving
the existing header ordering and duplicate-detection flow.

Review comments at @pkg/input/dedupe/dedupe.go:
- Line 143: Update the fingerprinting logic around cloned.Query() so malformed
query pairs are not discarded and treated as equivalent to valid requests. Parse
RawQuery with error reporting and leave requests with invalid queries
undeduplicated, or include the raw query in the fingerprint.
- Around line 195-196: Update normalizeCookie to preserve the original order of
cookie pairs when names repeat, and sort pairs only when all names are unique.
Adjust the repeated-name test to expect the preserved order.
- Around line 26-28: Update the dynamicHeaders map so If-Modified-Since,
If-Unmodified-Since, If-None-Match, and If-Match are retained in request
fingerprints; remove these four headers from the map while leaving the other
dynamic-header entries unchanged.
- Around line 146-148: Update query normalization in NormalizeURL to preserve
the original order of repeated values for each key by copying each value slice
without sorting it. Keep sorting distinct query keys so fingerprints remain
deterministic while distinguishing requests whose first repeated value differs.
