πŸ“š Description

Third-party scripts expose user data directly to external servers - every request shares the user's IP address, and scripts can set third-party cookies for cross-site tracking. Ad blockers rightfully block these for privacy reasons.

This PR adds a firstParty option that routes all script traffic through your own domain:

  • User IPs stay private - third parties see your server's IP, not your users'
  • No third-party cookies - requests are same-origin, eliminating cross-site tracking vectors
  • Reduced fingerprinting - fewer direct connections to tracking domains
  • Works with ad blockers - requests appear first-party

Scripts are downloaded at build time, collection URLs rewritten to local paths (/_scripts/c/ga), and Nitro route rules proxy requests to original endpoints.

// nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  scripts: {
    firstParty: true,
    registry: {
      googleAnalytics: { id: 'G-XXXXXX' },
      metaPixel: { id: '123456' },
    }
  }
})

Supported: Google Analytics, GTM, Meta Pixel, TikTok, Segment, Clarity, Hotjar, X/Twitter, Snapchat, Reddit.

Includes new /docs/guides/first-party documentation and deprecation notice on bundling guide.

The code doesn't detect firstParty: false when passed as a direct option in useScript calls, only when nested in scriptOptions. Users attempting to opt-out of first-party routing would have their opt-out silently ignored for direct option usage.

Analysis

firstParty: false option not detected in direct useScript calls

What fails: The firstParty: false opt-out option is only detected when passed nested in scriptOptions, but is silently ignored when passed as a direct option to useScript() or useScriptGoogleAnalytics() calls, causing proxy rewrites to be applied even when the user explicitly requested to opt-out.

How to reproduce:

In a Nuxt component, use:

// Case 1: Direct in second argument (NOT detected before fix)
useScript('https://example.com/script.js', { firstParty: false })

// Case 2: Direct in first argument's properties (NOT detected before fix)
useScript({
  src: 'https://example.com/script.js',
  firstParty: false
})

// Case 3: Works correctly (nested in scriptOptions)
useScriptGoogleAnalytics({
  id: 'G-XXXXXX',
  scriptOptions: { firstParty: false }
})

When scripts.firstParty: true is enabled in nuxt.config, Cases 1 and 2 would have their script URLs rewritten to proxy paths even though firstParty: false was explicitly set, violating the user's opt-out request.

Result before fix: The firstPartyOptOut variable remained false for Cases 1 and 2, so the condition at line 395 would apply proxy rewrites: options.firstPartyEnabled && !firstPartyOptOut && proxyConfigKey && options.firstPartyCollectPrefix evaluated to true.

Expected: The firstParty: false option should be honored in all three usage patterns, preventing proxy rewrites when the user explicitly opts out.

Implementation: Extended the firstParty detection logic in src/plugins/transform.ts (lines 382-407) to check for firstParty: false in three locations:

  1. In scriptOptions?.value.properties (nested property - original behavior)
  2. In node.arguments[1]?.properties (second argument direct options)
  3. In node.arguments[0]?.properties (first argument direct properties for useScript with object form)

Also fixed a pre-existing issue where options.scripts.find could fail when options.scripts is undefined by adding optional chaining.

The script name extraction in the health check uses a hardcoded regex pattern for /_scripts/c/, which won't work if users configure a custom collectPrefix.

Hardcoded regex in health check fails with custom collectPrefix

What fails: The scripts-health.ts health check endpoint uses a hardcoded regex pattern /\/_scripts\/c\/([^/]+)/ to extract script names from routes, which only matches the default collectPrefix of /_scripts/c. When users configure a custom collectPrefix (e.g., /_analytics), the regex fails to match routes like /_analytics/ga/**, causing all scripts to be labeled as 'unknown' in the health check output.

How to reproduce:

  1. Configure custom collectPrefix in Nuxt config:
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  scripts: {
    firstParty: {
      collectPrefix: '/_analytics'
    }
  }
})
  1. Access the health check endpoint at /_scripts/health.json
  2. Observe that all scripts have script: 'unknown' instead of actual script names (ga, gtm, meta, etc.)

Expected behavior: The script name should be correctly extracted from routes regardless of the collectPrefix value. With collectPrefix: '/_analytics', a route like /_analytics/ga/** should extract 'ga' as the script name, not 'unknown'.

Root cause: The regex pattern is hardcoded for the default path and doesn't account for custom configurations available in scriptsConfig.collectPrefix.

The cache key for proxied scripts doesn't include the collectPrefix, so changing this setting between builds will reuse cached scripts with outdated rewrite URLs.

Analysis

Cache key mismatch when collectPrefix changes between builds

What fails: The cache key for proxied scripts in downloadScript() doesn't include the actual collectPrefix value, causing scripts cached with one configuration to be reused with different URL rewrites when the config changes within the cache TTL.

How to reproduce:

  1. Build with firstParty: { collectPrefix: '/_scripts/c' } - script URLs rewritten to /_scripts/c/ga/g/collect
  2. Within 7 days, change config to firstParty: { collectPrefix: '/_analytics' } and rebuild
  3. The cached script from step 1 is loaded from cache key bundle-proxy:filename
  4. Runtime expects requests at /_analytics/ga/... but cached script sends to /_scripts/c/ga/...
  5. Proxy requests fail because routes don't match the rewritten URLs

Result: Script gets wrong rewrite paths from cache, causing analytics/tracking requests to fail.

Expected: Each combination of script filename + collectPrefix should have its own cache entry, ensuring the correct rewritten URLs are used regardless of cache age.

Root cause: Line 116 in src/plugins/transform.ts creates cache key as bundle-proxy: when proxyRewrites?.length is truthy, but doesn't include a hash of the actual proxyRewrites content. Different collectPrefix values produce different rewrite mappings, but the same cache key.

Fix: Include hash of proxyRewrites in cache key: bundle-proxy:

if (captures.length > 0) {
const hasValidCapture = captures.some(c =>
c.path?.startsWith('/_proxy/gtm')
&& c.targetUrl?.includes('googletagmanager.com')

In general, the fix is to stop treating the URL as an opaque string and instead parse it, then check the hostname against a precise condition (e.g., exact match or safe subdomain match), rather than includes. For this case, the test wants to verify that at least one capture is a proxied request to Google Tag Manager. The most direct, non‑behavior‑changing fix is:

  1. Parse c.targetUrl with the standard URL constructor.
  2. Extract its hostname.
  3. Check that hostname is exactly googletagmanager.com or a subdomain of it (e.g., www.googletagmanager.com, www2.googletagmanager.com), depending on what the test intends. The existing includes check would match both, so we should allow the base domain and subdomains.

Concretely, inside test/e2e/first-party.test.ts, in the googleTagManager test, change the captures.some(...) predicate:

  • Replace c.targetUrl?.includes('googletagmanager.com') with a helper that:
    • Safely handles undefined/invalid URLs with try/catch.
    • Uses new URL(c.targetUrl) to get hostname.
    • Returns true when hostname === 'googletagmanager.com' or hostname.endsWith('.googletagmanager.com').

Because this is TypeScript targeting Node, URL is globally available and we don’t need new imports. We also stay within the shown file and only touch the provided snippet.

In general, the fix is to avoid substring checks on the full URL string when you intend to match a host. Instead, parse the URL and compare its hostname (or host) against an explicit whitelist of allowed hosts. This prevents URLs where the allowed domain appears in the path, query, or as part of another domain from being mistakenly accepted.

Concretely for this file, we should change the xPixel test so that, instead of:

c.targetUrl?.includes('twitter.com') || c.targetUrl?.includes('t.co')

we:

  1. Safely parse c.targetUrl with the standard URL constructor (available in Node and browsers).
  2. Extract hostname from the parsed URL.
  3. Check that hostname is exactly one of the allowed hosts, e.g. 'twitter.com' or 't.co'.

To avoid duplicating parsing logic and to keep the change minimal, we can parse inline where the check is done, guarding against absent or malformed URLs by returning false in those cases. No new imports are needed because URL is a built‑in global in modern Node.js and the test environment.

The only region that needs to change is the hasValidCapture definition inside the "xPixel" test, around lines 466–470, within test/e2e/first-party.test.ts. We replace the .includes checks with a small inline parse-and-compare block.

In general, the fix is to stop treating the URL as an opaque string for domain checks and instead parse it, then compare the hostname against an explicit allowed value or pattern. This avoids matches in the path or query string and ensures arbitrary prefixes/suffixes on the hostname (e.g., evil-snapchat.com, snapchat.com.evil.com) do not pass.

For this specific test, we should replace c.targetUrl?.includes('snapchat.com') with a check that:

  1. safely parses c.targetUrl using the standard URL class, and
  2. asserts that hostname is exactly snapchat.com or an allowed Snapchat subdomain, such as www.snapchat.com.
    Because this is test code, we can keep it simple: parse the URL inside the some callback and then check hostname === 'snapchat.com' || hostname.endsWith('.snapchat.com'). We should also guard against invalid URLs by catching URL construction errors; invalid URLs can simply be treated as non‑matches.

Concretely, in test/e2e/first-party.test.ts around the snapchatPixel test, update the hasValidCapture definition to wrap the URL parsing in a try/catch and replace the .includes('snapchat.com') predicate with a hostname‑based check. No new imports are required because URL is globally available in Node and in most test environments.

In general, the substring check on the full URL should be replaced by a check on the parsed host (and, if desired, protocol), using a strict comparison or a clear rule for allowed domains. Instead of targetUrl.includes('hotjar.com'), parse targetUrl with the standard URL class and test url.host against 'hotjar.com' or an explicit whitelist of allowed Hotjar hosts (e.g. ['hotjar.com', 'www.hotjar.com'] or a suffix check like .endsWith('.hotjar.com') including the bare domain).

In this file, the single best fix with minimal behavioral change is to compute the host from c.targetUrl using the built‑in URL class and then ensure that either the host is exactly hotjar.com or ends with .hotjar.com. This mirrors the likely intent (β€œtraffic to Hotjar”) while preventing arbitrary hosts that merely contain hotjar.com elsewhere in the URL from satisfying the test. The change is localized to the captures.some(...) predicate in the hotjar test around line 585. No new imports are needed because URL is a global in the Node.js runtime used by Vitest.

Concretely:

  • Replace the captures.some(c => ...) predicate so that:
    • It first checks that c.targetUrl is truthy.
    • It then parses c.targetUrl with new URL(c.targetUrl), catching errors by short‑circuiting if parsing fails.
    • It derives host and checks host === 'hotjar.com' || host.endsWith('.hotjar.com').
    • It keeps the existing checks on c.path?.startsWith('/_proxy/hotjar') and c.privacy === 'anonymize'.

No other parts of the file need to change.

AI about 8 hours ago

In general, the fix is to stop checking for '<domain>.com' as a substring of the full URL and instead parse the URL, extract its hostname, and compare that hostname against an explicit allowlist of expected domains (e.g., tiktok.com, www.tiktok.com) or otherwise validate it precisely.

For this specific code, we should change:

  • c.targetUrl?.includes('tiktok.com') to a hostname check that:
    • Parses c.targetUrl with the standard URL constructor.
    • Extracts hostname.
    • Verifies the hostname is exactly an allowed value or an allowed subdomain of the domain we care about (depending on what the test intends). The original check allowed things like evil-tiktok.com, so tightening to the actual TikTok host(s) is safe and more accurate.
  • Similarly, we should change c.targetUrl?.includes('reddit.com') in the Reddit test.

Since we can only modify the shown file, we’ll:

  1. Add a small helper in test/e2e/first-party.test.ts that checks if a URL belongs to a given domain by parsing it and validating hostname. For tests, we can keep it simple and robust, e.g., allow exact match and subdomains: hostname === domain or hostname.endsWith('.' + domain).
  2. Replace the two .includes('tiktok.com') and .includes('reddit.com') calls with calls to this helper.
  3. Use the standard built‑in URL class; no new imports are needed.

This maintains existing functionality (tests still pass for real TikTok/Reddit URLs) while avoiding the incomplete substring sanitization pattern.

In general, the fix is to avoid checking for reddit.com with String.prototype.includes on the entire URL string and instead parse the URL, then validate the host against a whitelist of allowed Reddit domains. This removes the possibility that a crafted URL containing reddit.com somewhere other than the host (or as part of a larger, malicious host) will satisfy the check.

The best fix here, without changing existing functionality, is:

  • Parse c.targetUrl using the standard URL constructor.
  • Extract the hostname (not host, to avoid port complications).
  • Compare that hostname to a small whitelist of allowed Reddit hosts for this test, e.g. reddit.com, www.reddit.com, and potentially pixel endpoints like www.reddit.com or other known tracking subdomains. To keep behavior close to the existing intent (β€œa Reddit URL”), we can treat any hostname that is exactly reddit.com or ends with .reddit.com as valid; that’s a common and safe pattern for β€œthis domain or subdomains”.

To implement this in the shown snippet:

  • Update the predicate inside captures.some(...) to parse c.targetUrl into a URL object inside a try/catch and then:
    • If parsing fails, treat it as not valid (return false for that element).
    • If parsing succeeds, compute const hostname = parsed.hostname and check hostname === 'reddit.com' || hostname.endsWith('.reddit.com').
  • This is all done inline; no new imports are required, since URL is a built-in global in Node and browser environments.

We only need to edit the lines around 657–661 in test/e2e/first-party.test.ts.

Analysis

Missing URL rewriting patterns in proxy-handler.ts causes collection requests to bypass the proxy

What fails: The rewriteScriptUrls function in src/runtime/server/proxy-handler.ts (lines 24-40) is an incomplete copy that's missing critical URL rewriting patterns compared to the exported version in src/proxy-configs.ts. This causes JavaScript responses fetched through the proxy to retain unrewritten URLs for:

  1. Bare domain patterns (e.g., "api.segment.io" without protocol) - Segment SDK
  2. Google Analytics dynamic URL construction (e.g., "https://"+(...)+".google-analytics.com/g/collect") - Minified GA4 code

How to reproduce: Test with synthetic script content containing these patterns:

// Bare domain - NOT rewritten by old version
var apiHost = "api.segment.io/v1/batch";

// GA dynamic construction - NOT rewritten by old version  
var collect = "https://"+("www")+".google-analytics.com/g/collect";

Old inline version result: URLs remain unchanged, allowing collection requests to bypass proxy Fixed version result: URLs are properly rewritten to proxy paths

What happens vs expected:

  • Before fix: Collection endpoint requests embedded in JavaScript responses bypass the proxy and send data directly to third parties, exposing user IPs and defeating privacy protection
  • After fix: All collection requests are routed through the proxy and privacy-filtered based on configured mode

Root cause: src/runtime/server/proxy-handler.ts defines a local rewriteScriptUrls function (lines 24-40) instead of importing the complete exported version from src/proxy-configs.ts. The runtime version was missing the bare domain pattern handling (lines 267-269 in proxy-configs.ts) and Google Analytics dynamic construction regex patterns (lines 275-287 in proxy-configs.ts).

Fix implemented: Removed the incomplete inline function and imported the complete rewriteScriptUrls function from src/proxy-configs.ts.

Verification: All 180 unit tests pass, including the comprehensive third-party-proxy-replacements.test.ts which tests URL rewriting patterns for Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, TikTok, Segment, and other SDKs.
