Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[Unreleased]

  • Added a periodic cleanup routine for the decaymap that removes expired entries, ensuring stale data is properly pruned.
  • Added a no-store Cache-Control header to the challenge page
  • Hide the directory listings for Anubis' internal static content
  • Changed --debug-x-real-ip-default to --use-remote-address, getting the IP address from the request's socket address instead.
  • DroneBL lookups have been disabled by default
  • Static asset builds are now done on demand instead of the results being committed to source control
  • The Dockerfile has been removed as it is no longer in use
  • Developer documentation has been added to the docs site
  • Show more errors when some predictable challenge page errors happen (#150)
  • Verification page now shows hash rate and a progress bar for completion probability.
  • Added the --debug-benchmark-js flag for testing proof-of-work performance during development.
  • Use TrimSuffix instead of TrimRight on containerbuild
  • Fix the startup logs to correctly show the address and port the server is listening on
  • Add LibreJS banner to Anubis JavaScript to allow LibreJS users to run the challenge
  • Added a wait with button continue + 30 second auto continue after 30s if you click "Why am I seeing this?"
  • Fixed a typo in the challenge page title.
  • Disabled running integration tests on Windows hosts due to it's reliance on posix features (see #133).
  • Added support for passing the ed25519 signing key in a file with -ed25519-private-key-hex-file or ED25519_PRIVATE_KEY_HEX_FILE.

v1.15.1

Zenos yae Galvus: Echo 1

Fixes a recurrence of CVE-2025-24369 due to an incorrect logic change in a refactor. This allows an attacker to mint a valid access token by passing any SHA-256 hash instead of one that matches the proof-of-work test.

This case has been added as a regression test. It was not when CVE-2025-24369 was released due to the project not having the maturity required to enable this kind of regression testing.

v1.15.0

Zenos yae Galvus

Yes...the coming days promise to be most interesting. Most interesting.

Headline changes:

  • ed25519 signing keys for Anubis can be stored in the flag --ed25519-private-key-hex or envvar ED25519_PRIVATE_KEY_HEX; if one is not provided when Anubis starts, a new one is generated and logged
  • Add the ability to set the cookie domain with the envvar COOKIE_DOMAIN=techaro.lol for all domains under techaro.lol
  • Add the ability to set the cookie partitioned flag with the envvar COOKIE_PARTITIONED=true

Many other small changes were made, including but not limited to:

  • Fixed and clarified installation instructions
  • Introduced integration tests using Playwright
  • Refactor & Split up Anubis into cmd and lib.go
  • Fixed bot check to only apply if address range matches
  • Fix default difficulty setting that was broken in a refactor
  • Linting fixes
  • Make dark mode diff lines readable in the documentation
  • Fix CI based browser smoke test

Users running Anubis' test suite may run into issues with the integration tests on Windows hosts. This is a known issue and will be fixed at some point in the future. In the meantime, use the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

v1.14.2

Livia sas Junius: Echo 2

  • Remove default RSS reader rule as it may allow for a targeted attack against rails apps #67
  • Whitelist MojeekBot in botPolicies #47
  • botPolicies regex has been cleaned up #66

v1.14.1

Livia sas Junius: Echo 1

  • Set the X-Real-Ip header based on the contents of X-Forwarded-For #62

v1.14.0

Livia sas Junius

Fail to do as my lord commands...and I will spare him the trouble of blocking you.

  • Add explanation of what Anubis is doing to the challenge page #25

  • Administrators can now define artificially hard challenges using the "slow" algorithm:

    {
      "name": "generic-bot-catchall",
      "user_agent_regex": "(?i:bot|crawler)",
      "action": "CHALLENGE",
      "challenge": {
        "difficulty": 16,
        "report_as": 4,
        "algorithm": "slow"
      }
    }
    

    This allows administrators to cause particularly malicious clients to use unreasonable amounts of CPU. The UI will also lie to the client about the difficulty.

  • Docker images now explicitly call docker.io/library/<thing> to increase compatibility with Podman et. al #21

  • Don't overflow the image when browser windows are small (eg. on phones) #27

  • Lower the default difficulty to 4 from 5

  • Don't duplicate work across multiple threads #36

  • Documentation has been moved to https://anubis.techaro.lol/ with sources in docs/

  • Removed several visible AI artifacts (e.g., 6 fingers) #37

  • KagiBot is allowed through the filter #44

  • Fixed hang when navigator.hardwareConcurrency is undefined

  • Support Unix domain sockets #45

  • Allow filtering by remote addresses:

    {
      "name": "qwantbot",
      "user_agent_regex": "\\+https\\:\\/\\/help\\.qwant\\.com/bot/",
      "action": "ALLOW",
      "remote_addresses": ["91.242.162.0/24"]
    }
    

    This also works at an IP range level:

    {
      "name": "internal-network",
      "action": "ALLOW",
      "remote_addresses": ["100.64.0.0/10"]
    }
    

1.13.0

  • Proof-of-work challenges are drastically sped up #19
  • Docker images are now built with the timestamp set to the commit timestamp
  • The README now points to TecharoHQ/anubis instead of Xe/x
  • Images are built using ko instead of docker buildx build #13

1.12.1

  • Phrasing in the <noscript> warning was replaced from its original placeholder text to something more suitable for general consumption (fd6903a).
  • Footer links on the check page now point to Techaro's brand (4ebccb1)
  • Anubis was imported from Xe/x.
