Purpose or design rationale of this PR

POST /api/txsbyhashes read the full request body before validation. One large request (for example 1 GiB) could exhaust process memory and crash the service. Unvalidated txs and address values also flowed into Redis keys, logs, and DB queries without a size limit.

Changes:

  • txs_by_hashes.go: cap the request body at 64 KiB. Reject on Content-Length before reading.
  • schema.go: validate that inputs are valid Ethereum addresses and transaction hashes.

PR title

Your PR title must follow conventional commits (as we are doing squash merge for each PR), so it must start with one of the following types:

  • fix: A bug fix

Deployment tag versioning

Has tag in common/version.go been updated or have you added bump-version label to this PR?

  • No, this PR doesn't involve a new deployment, git tag, docker image tag
  • Yes

Breaking change label

Does this PR have the breaking-change label?

  • No, this PR is not a breaking change
  • Yes

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Added request-size protection for transaction lookup requests, rejecting bodies larger than 64 KiB.
    • Improved validation for Ethereum addresses and transaction hash queries.
    • Transaction hash queries now require 1–100 valid 66-character hexadecimal hashes with the 0x prefix.
    • Invalid or unreadable request bodies are now rejected consistently.

📝 Walkthrough

The bridge history API now limits transaction-query request bodies and validates address and transaction-hash fields. The internal version tag changes from v4.8.0 to v4.8.1.

- Line 36: Update the request handling around MaxBytesReader and ShouldBindJSON
to fully read the bounded request body before JSON binding, reject any read that
exceeds maxRequestBodyBytes, and then bind the buffered body. Ensure chunked
requests without Content-Length are limited by actual bytes read, including
valid JSON followed by oversized trailing data.
