From: Vsevolod Stakhov Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2025 11:31:14 +0000 (+0000) Subject: [Performance] Optimize url_suspect for high URL volume messages X-Git-Tag: 3.14.1~10^2~1 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cf92faaa2c2a5af130ab475d2ff4a030a71c68a8;p=thirdparty%2Frspamd.git [Performance] Optimize url_suspect for high URL volume messages Performance improvements for messages with many URLs: 1. O(1) TLD lookups: Convert builtin_suspicious list to hash set on init, eliminates O(n*m) iteration (500k+ checks for 100k URLs × 5 TLDs) 2. Use rspamd_text for URL checks: get_text(true) returns opaque rspamd_text without string copying, use text:find() for RTL detection 3. Use rspamd_ip API: parse_addr() + is_local() for IP checks instead of pattern matching 4. Add max_urls limit (10000) for DoS protection These optimizations significantly reduce memory allocation and CPU usage. --- diff --git a/conf/modules.d/url_suspect.conf b/conf/modules.d/url_suspect.conf index d4ff6239af..721b551751 100644 --- a/conf/modules.d/url_suspect.conf +++ b/conf/modules.d/url_suspect.conf @@ -5,6 +5,10 @@ url_suspect { # Enable the plugin enabled = true; + # DoS protection: maximum URLs to check per message + # Protects against messages with 100k+ URLs + max_urls = 10000; + # Which URL flags trigger inspection (existing flags, no new flags needed) # Available: has_user, numeric, obscured, zw_spaces, no_tld, unnormalised process_flags = ["has_user", "numeric", "obscured", "zw_spaces", "no_tld"]; diff --git a/src/plugins/lua/url_suspect.lua b/src/plugins/lua/url_suspect.lua index 55d67d5142..019d4d0914 100644 --- a/src/plugins/lua/url_suspect.lua +++ b/src/plugins/lua/url_suspect.lua @@ -61,6 +61,8 @@ local symbols = { local settings = { enabled = true, process_flags = { 'has_user', 'numeric', 'obscured', 'zw_spaces', 'no_tld' }, + -- DoS protection + max_urls = 10000, checks = { user_password = { enabled = true, @@ -110,6 +112,8 @@ local maps = { suspicious_ports = nil } + + -- Check implementations local checks = {} @@ -130,11 +134,10 @@ function checks.user_password_analysis(task, url, cfg) end local user_len = #user -
