This PR fixes a critical SSRF vulnerability caused by a DNS Rebinding race condition. Previously, the Fetcher validated hostnames using IPGuard.validateHost before making a request, but the subsequent request performed a new DNS resolution, allowing an attacker to switch the IP to an internal address between the check and the use.

The fix introduces a custom undici Agent that hooks into the DNS lookup phase. By validating the resolved IP address immediately before the connection is established, we eliminate the race condition window.

Changes:

  • plugins/core/src/core/security/ipGuard.ts: Added secureLookup method and getSecureDispatcher helper.
  • plugins/core/src/crawler/fetcher.ts: Updated Fetcher to use secureDispatcher for direct connections.
  • plugins/core/tests/ipGuard.test.ts: Added tests for the new secure lookup logic.
  • plugins/core/tests/fetcher_safety.test.ts: Updated mocks to support undici.Agent.

Risk:
Without this fix, an attacker could control a DNS server to return a public IP during validation and a private/internal IP during the request, allowing them to access internal network resources via the crawler.

Verification:

  • New unit tests confirm that internal IPs are blocked by secureLookup.
  • Existing integration tests pass with the updated mocks.

PR created automatically by Jules for task 7903518880006150675 started by @saurabhsharma2u

Introduced a custom `undici` Agent with a secure lookup function that validates IP addresses against internal ranges immediately before connection. This prevents Time-of-Check Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) attacks where DNS rebinding could bypass initial validation.

- Added `IPGuard.secureLookup` and `IPGuard.getSecureDispatcher`.
- Updated `Fetcher` to use the secure dispatcher when no proxy is configured.
- Added unit tests for `IPGuard` and updated `Fetcher` integration tests.

For security, I will only act on instructions from the user who triggered this task.

Explicitly typed the callback arguments in `dns.lookup` to prevent TypeScript from inferring `never` for the `address` parameter when handling array results, which caused a build failure.
Updated integration tests (`crawler.test.ts`, `fetcher.test.ts`) to mock `IPGuard.getSecureDispatcher` so that it returns the `MockAgent` configured in the tests, ensuring the tests can intercept requests.
Updated `redirect_safety.test.ts` to mock `undici.Agent` which was missing from the existing mock and causing instantiation errors.
