From 10c8f32bd9884712c7436b3155e84f115f30e6ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: diegosouzapw Date: Tue, 19 May 2026 00:26:17 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] fix(security): drop hashing in sessionPoolKey to clear CodeQL #247 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit CodeQL re-flagged the HMAC variant from #2394 at high severity (#247) — its data-flow analysis still sees an OAuth bearer reaching .update(token) and applies js/insufficient-password-hash, regardless of whether the hash primitive is createHash or createHmac. Stop hashing the token at all. The session-pool Map is keyed by the token verbatim, falling back to "anonymous" when the input is missing or empty. This is safe because: - The token is already held in CopilotSession.cookies for every pool entry, so the Map key adds no new in-memory exposure. - The pool is bounded by MAX_POOL_SIZE with LRU eviction, so memory stays bounded regardless of how many distinct tokens appear. - bcrypt/scrypt/argon2 — the only forms CodeQL accepts here — are the wrong tool, since their slowness exists to thwart brute-force of low-entropy human passwords we do not have. Tests - Replace the "16-char hex" shape assertion with verbatim-equality assertions and an explicit "empty string → anonymous" case. - Keep the regression guard that fails if anyone ever re-introduces createHash/createHmac on the token (catches the alert reappearing before CodeQL does). - 16/16 copilot-web tests pass. --- open-sse/executors/copilot-web.ts | 41 ++++++++++--------------- tests/unit/copilot-web-executor.test.ts | 30 ++++++++++-------- 2 files changed, 35 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-) diff --git a/open-sse/executors/copilot-web.ts b/open-sse/executors/copilot-web.ts index 74cb0ac029..394cffe6ed 100644 --- a/open-sse/executors/copilot-web.ts +++ b/open-sse/executors/copilot-web.ts @@ -16,7 +16,7 @@ */ import { BaseExecutor, type ExecuteInput } from "./base.ts"; import { FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS } from "../config/constants.ts"; -import { createHash, createHmac, randomBytes } from "node:crypto"; +import { createHash, randomBytes } from "node:crypto"; // ─── Constants ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── @@ -106,33 +106,26 @@ export function extractAccessToken(credential: string): string | null { } /** - * Process-scope HMAC key used to derive in-memory session-pool fingerprints. + * Map a token (or absence of one) to an in-memory session-pool key. * - * Regenerated on every process start (`randomBytes(32)`), held only in - * memory, and never persisted.
