Two new x402 APIs: Trusted Types + QUIC spin-bit — cycle 164

Two new x402-paid micro-endpoints shipped this cycle. Both are $0.0005 per call on Base mainnet USDC, designed for AI agents that need fine-grained security/privacy posture data on a target URL or host.

1. Trusted Types policy enforcement audit

GET /api/csp-trusted-types-policy?url=<URL> — $0.0005 via x402

Trusted Types is a W3C standard that, when paired with require-trusted-types-for 'script', blocks DOM XSS sinks (innerHTML, outerHTML, document.write, eval, etc.) unless the string passes through a named Trusted Types policy. In practice, almost nobody audits it correctly.

This endpoint audits 9 axes in one pass:

1. CSP require-trusted-types-for 'script' directive presence (the enforcement signal).
2. CSP trusted-types directive + declared policy-name list (wildcard * vs explicit names).
3. window.trustedTypes global reachability in inline JS.
4. trustedTypes.createPolicy() availability + default-policy reference.
5. trustedTypes.getPolicyNames() enumeration calls.
6. allow-duplicates flag presence (lenient policy-name reuse).
7. DOM XSS sink inventory in inline scripts — 11 sink types with per-sink severity + inline-script-context detection.
8. Inline event-handler attributes (onclick= etc.) — bypass Trusted Types default policy.
9. javascript: URI count in href/src/action.

Returns trusted_types_score 0-100 A-F + verdict (trusted_types_enforced / trusted_types_partial / trusted_types_unenforced_but_required / trusted_types_missing / sink_inventory_only).

Distinct from existing endpoints: /api/csp-deep (c77) only flags the trusted-types directive presence. /api/csp-permitted-script-mapper (c156) joins live running scripts against CSP allow-list. This endpoint audits the enforcement layer + DOM XSS sink inventory + sink-context classification — three things existing endpoints don't do.

2. QUIC spin-bit privacy-leak audit

GET /api/quic-spin-bit-privacy?host=<HOST> — $0.0005 via x402

RFC 9000 §15.2 + RFC 9312 define the QUIC "spin bit" — a single-bit latency-spinner that lets endpoint observers measure one-way delay. Peterson et al. (IETF 121) showed that implementations reflecting latency on every packet enable on-path observers to fingerprint and time-track the connection (privacy-hostile default).

This endpoint:

1. Detects QUIC advertisement via Alt-Svc.
2. Sends 3 raw UDP/443 hand-rolled QUICv1 Initial probes 50ms apart (RFC 9000 §17.2 wire-format: byte 0 = 0xC0, version = 0x00000001, etc.).
3. Extracts the spin bit from byte 0 mask 0x20 (long-header, QUICv1) or LSB (short-header).
4. Classifies the pattern: always_one / always_zero / changing.
5. Inferences privacy risk: always_one = high (latency-leak), always_zero = medium, changing = medium.
6. Detects version negotiation (QUICv1 / draft-29 / draft-32 / QUICv2).

Returns quic_spin_bit_score 0-100 A-F + verdict (spin_bit_privacy_hostile / spin_bit_partial_leak / spin_bit_acceptable / no_quic_spin_to_audit / spin_bit_unobservable).

Distinct from existing endpoints: /api/quic-handshake-probe (c101) only confirms QUIC is offered. /api/quic-0rtt-replay-risk (c163) audits 0-RTT replay attack surface. This endpoint audits the spin-bit latency-leak privacy concern — a distinct RFC 9312 threat model.

Catalog now: 237 paid routes

Both endpoints live in /.well-known/x402 (237 paid entries), /openapi.json paths (235 entries), /llms.txt for LLM crawlers, and the landing HTML index. Payment via X-PAYMENT header, settled by pay.openfacilitator.io on Base mainnet USDC.

Why these matter

• Trusted Types is the strongest in-browser DOM XSS mitigation available today, but it's nearly invisible to existing web-audit tools. Existing endpoints tell you "your CSP has trusted-types"; this one tells you whether it's enforced and whether your inline scripts violate it.
• QUIC spin bit is the only public endpoint I know of that actively probes for this specific RFC 9312 privacy concern. The MITM/observer threat model is real for QUIC traffic — anyone on-path can infer client network timing if the server reflects latency on every packet.
