Summary

Follow-up to #1553 (CIP-5159, merged), fixing CIP-5379. It reuses the 30-day cap and SecretBuf that #1553 added.

  1. The /api/authorise expiry had no cap. CTS returns an absolute expiry, and it was copied into the token as-is. A buggy or hostile server answering expiry: u64::MAX made the token look valid for ever, so AutoRefresh kept sending it after the server stopped accepting it.
  2. Token stores left partial copies of the token. InMemoryTokenStore and TokenStoreFn built the JSON with serde_json::to_string. That String grows as it writes and frees each outgrown buffer without wiping it. Zeroizing only wiped the last one.
  3. Request bodies did the same. post_json (serde_json::to_vec) and post_form (serde_urlencoded::to_string) carry access keys, OIDC JWTs and refresh tokens.

Changes

  • AuthoriseResponse::into_token(now) replaces From<AuthoriseResponse> for Token, and caps the expiry with the new token::cap_expires_at(now, expires_at) at now + MAX_TOKEN_LIFETIME_SECS. Both refreshers pass the wall clock.
  • AutoRefresh no longer trusts a token whose issue time it doesn't know (one loaded from a TokenStore, or passed in when the engine is built) if it claims to last more than 30 days. Such a token is treated as already expired and refreshed before use. Capping it at each load instead would let a process that restarts more often than every 30 days use it for ever. A freshly refreshed token is still capped, since it was issued just now. The shared test fixture raw_token now expires an hour from now rather than at u64::MAX.
  • stack-profile now exports SecretBuf, with a new into_zeroizing() that hands the buffer over without copying it, and a Default impl. This is an addition to stack-profile's public API.
  • Both token stores serialise into a SecretBuf. InMemoryTokenStore now holds bytes rather than a String. TokenStoreFn still hands its save closure a String, moved out of the buffer rather than copied.
  • post_json writes into a SecretBuf.
  • serde_urlencoded can only write into a String. So post_form reserves that String at its worst-case size before encoding: three times the body's JSON length. The JSON holds every key and value character at least once, and form encoding turns one byte into at most three. The JSON used for measuring goes into a SecretBuf. A debug_assert checks that the String never grew.
  • form_urlencoded is now a direct dependency of stack-auth. It was already in the graph through serde_urlencoded, so each of the six lockfiles that build stack-auth by path gains one line.
  • @cipherstash/auth patch changeset.

Verification

  • Red first:
    • The two refresher tests (access_key_expiry_is_capped_at_thirty_days, oidc_expiry_is_capped_at_thirty_days) failed before the fix with expires_in = 18446744071915187659.
    • The new stack-profile/tests/secret_buf.rs and form_body_encodes_like_serde_urlencoded_without_growing failed to compile before the API existed.
  • authorize_dto unit tests pin the cap at the boundary (exactly 30 days kept, one second more cut back, u64::MAX cut back, an expiry already in the past kept).
  • I checked that the post_form size guard bites. With the bound cut to 1× the JSON length, the worst-case test (every byte percent-encoded) panics on the debug_assert.
  • The token-store change keeps behaviour the same. The existing round-trip and "save closure receives the serialised token" tests cover it. Whether a freed buffer was wiped can't be observed from the public interface, so SecretBuf's own growth tests are what hold that property.
  • cargo test -p stack-auth -p stack-profile --all-features passes (stack-auth lib: 322).
  • cargo clippy --all-targets -D warnings passes with all features and with --no-default-features. cargo doc -D warnings and cargo fmt --check are clean.
  • cargo check -p stack-auth --no-default-features --target wasm32-unknown-unknown passes. So does the auth guest's cargo check --locked --target wasm32-wasip1. cargo metadata --locked passes for all six lockfiles.

Review notes

  • The post_form bound is an argument, not a type guarantee. It holds for the flat string-valued structs the three call sites send. A debug_assert catches a body shape that breaks it. A release build would send the correct bytes but could leave one unwiped copy behind.
  • Making SecretBuf public was the issue's suggested route. The other option was moving it into a shared module, which would have needed a new crate or a copy.
  • TokenStoreFn's save closure still receives a plain String, as before. That keeps the public signature the same. What the closure does with it is the caller's concern, as its docs already say.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a reusable buffer for handling sensitive data, with an option to transfer its contents into a zeroizing buffer.
  • Security
    • Access tokens are limited to a 30-day lifetime. Tokens from authorization responses, storage, or client setup that claim a longer lifetime are refreshed before use.
    • Sensitive token data and authorization request bodies are held in buffers that are cleared after use.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Tokens with past or invalid expiry values are handled as expired.
    • Tokens with unusually distant expiry times are refreshed or capped within the 30-day limit, including after refresh.

Walkthrough

Authorization and auto-refreshed tokens now receive a 30-day expiry limit. Token-store and callback serialization, along with HTTP request-body serialization, use zeroizing buffers. SecretBuf is public from stack-profile.

Changes: Authorization token expiry

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cap authorization expiry
packages/stack-auth/src/token.rs, packages/stack-auth/src/authorize_dto.rs, .changeset/auth-authorise-expiry-cap-and-body-wiping.md
AuthoriseResponse::into_token caps absolute expiry at 30 days from the supplied time. Tests cover over-cap, at-cap, and past expiry values.
Use capped conversion in refresh flows
packages/stack-auth/src/access_key_refresher.rs, packages/stack-auth/src/oidc_refresher.rs
Access-key and OIDC refresh flows use the capped conversion. Tests check responses with u64::MAX expiry.
Cap tokens in auto-refresh
packages/stack-auth/src/auto_refresh.rs, packages/stack-auth/src/test_support.rs
Auto-refresh marks overlong initial and store-loaded tokens expired and caps refreshed tokens. Tests cover these cases, including repeated restarts. Test tokens now expire after one hour.
Bound async test waits
packages/stack-auth/src/auto_refresh.rs, packages/stack-auth/src/auto_refresh/tests/cancellation.rs, packages/stack-auth/src/oidc_federation_strategy.rs
Selected refresh, cancellation, and survivor-task tests now use timeouts.

Secret-buffer serialization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Expose SecretBuf and test buffer transfer
packages/stack-profile/src/secret_buf.rs, packages/stack-profile/src/lib.rs, packages/stack-profile/tests/secret_buf.rs
SecretBuf and its methods are public. Tests check serialized bytes and allocation transfer.
Serialize saved tokens with SecretBuf
packages/stack-auth/src/token_store.rs, languages/typescript/packages/auth/src/lib.rs, languages/typescript/packages/stack-auth-wasm/Cargo.toml, languages/typescript/packages/stack-auth-wasm/src/lib.rs, .cargo/mutants.toml
Token stores and callbacks serialize through SecretBuf. Save callbacks are not called when serialization or string conversion fails. The mutant exclusion line numbers are updated.
Serialize request bodies with SecretBuf
packages/stack-auth/Cargo.toml, packages/stack-auth/src/transport.rs
JSON and form request bodies use zeroizing buffers. Form encoding reserves capacity and checks that the buffer does not grow. Tests check percent-encoded form data and long JSON bodies.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

form_body size bound can fail in release builds for non-flat bodies, and debug_assert_eq! hides it.

The 3x bound assumes every key and value is a string that JSON also writes. The form encoder can emit a value that is longer than its JSON form. For example, serde_urlencoded writes None as nothing, but a bool or integer is shorter. A unit or newtype variant, or a key with a separator but an empty value (("", "")), can also differ. Where the bound is too small, the String reallocates and frees an old copy unwiped. Release builds do not run the check. The leak is silent there.

Replace the debug-only assertion with a runtime check that fails closed. The check can wipe the grown buffer and return an error. This keeps the guarantee in release builds.

Proposed change

-    debug_assert_eq!(
-        form.capacity(),
-        capacity,
-        "the form body outgrew its reserved size, leaving an unwiped copy"
-    );
+    if form.capacity() != capacity {
+        debug_assert!(false, "the form body outgrew its reserved size");
+        tracing::warn!("form body outgrew its reserved size; an unwiped copy may remain");
+    }

The change logs the failure in release builds. A stricter option is to return a RequestError.

On CodeRabbit's minor note about form_body (transport.rs 379-398), I've left it as it is. Here's what I traced.

None of the cases it lists breaks the bound:

  • None writes nothing to the form, while JSON writes null (or skips the field).
  • A bool or integer is the same digits or true/false in both formats, so the form is never longer.
  • ("", "") becomes = in the form against ["",""] in JSON.
  • A unit variant is Variant against "Variant".

For every one of these, the form output is shorter than the JSON, so it fits easily under three times the JSON length. The bound only depends on each key and value byte appearing at least once in the JSON. Form encoding expands one byte to at most three. The & and = separators are paid for by JSON's quotes and punctuation. The worst-case test, where every byte needs percent-encoding, passes with the debug_assert. Cutting the bound to 1× makes that test panic.

The three call sites all send flat structs of string fields. So a release-build check would guard against a body shape this crate never sends.

Apply cap_expires_at(now, expires_at) once after store.load() (capping inside is_expired_at cannot work, since now + 30d is always later than now + 90); device_session_strategy.rs:238 and device_session_refresher.rs:152 load auth.json the same way.

Every finding was verified against 93c6ee3. Five other findings were refuted there and are not posted: the form_body bound enforced only by debug_assert, refresher wall clock vs SharedClock, the release-profile test gap, SecretBuf semver, and into_zeroizing exposure. One is left for the author to decide and is not posted: transport.rs:512 response.bytes().await?.to_vec() drops reqwest's Bytes holding the minted token unwiped. It predates this PR and the transport docs disclaim it, but Vec::from(bytes) would hand over the allocation into the Zeroizing body.

Review follow-ups on #1617:

- AutoRefresh now caps every token it holds (initial, store-loaded and
  refreshed) at 30 days from now. A token saved before the /api/authorise
  cap, or written into a caller-writable store, with expires_at u64::MAX was
  otherwise never treated as expired.
- The napi and wasm TokenStore adapters serialised with
  serde_json::to_string, leaving the same unwiped fragments the Rust stores
  no longer do. Both now write into a SecretBuf; the napi one moves the bytes
  into the String it hands to JS instead of copying them.
- form_body measures the JSON with a counting writer instead of serialising
  a second full copy of the secret into a SecretBuf.

Here's what 6d6b4b8 does with the three findings in the review summary:

  • napi NapiTokenStore::save (major): fixed. It now serialises into a SecretBuf and moves the bytes into the String it hands to JS, so there's no .to_string() copy any more.
  • wasm JsTokenStore::save (major): fixed. It serialises into a SecretBuf (stack-auth-wasm now depends on stack-profile) and passes the borrowed &str to JsValue::from_str.
  • Stored tokens keep an uncapped expires_at (minor): fixed. AutoRefresh now caps every token it holds at 30 days from now: the one it starts with, one loaded from a TokenStore, and each refreshed one. That covers the device-session auth.json paths too, since both reach AutoRefresh. Two new tests start a token at u64::MAX, one passed in directly and one loaded from a store, then move the clock forward 30 days and one second. Both failed before the fix and pass after it.

I updated the changeset to cover the Node and WASM callbacks and stored tokens.

I left transport.rs:512 (response.bytes().await?.to_vec()) alone. It predates this PR and covers the response side rather than the request side. I'd rather it go in a follow-up than widen this one.

395-414: Trivial · Security & Privacy · Low value

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

The form-body bound relies on serde_urlencoded only emitting flat string values.

json_len * 3 bounds the form size only for flat structs. Percent-encoding can triple a byte. JSON escaping can add bytes too, so JSON length is at least the raw value length. Keys and =/& separators are also covered by the JSON syntax. If a body ever has a non-string field, such as a number or bool, the form text can still fit. In release builds, an overshoot makes form_urlencoded grow the String silently and leave an unwiped copy, because only debug_assert_eq! checks this. This is a hardening gap, not a present defect. Consider returning an error in release builds as well.

-    debug_assert_eq!(
-        form.capacity(),
-        capacity,
-        "the form body outgrew its reserved size, leaving an unwiped copy"
-    );
+    debug_assert_eq!(form.capacity(), capacity, "the form body outgrew its reserved size");

Static review of 93c6ee32 by a Codex reviewer (GPT-6). One P2 finding.

At the reviewed commit, upgrading with a stored expires_at of u64::MAX could keep an expired bearer in use indefinitely. Treating that entry as a cache miss would force a fresh exchange.

At 6df7a5f1, the client caps the expiry in memory on load. Restarting can still renew that window because the stored expiry is unchanged. The remaining case is tracked in the existing review thread.

CTS returns an absolute expiry, which was copied into the token as-is.
A buggy or hostile server answering with expiry u64::MAX made the token
look valid for ever, so AutoRefresh kept sending it after the server
stopped accepting it. The mapping now takes now and caps the expiry at
30 days after it, the same cap expires_at_after applies to a lifetime.

…ing buffer

InMemoryTokenStore and TokenStoreFn built the token JSON with
serde_json::to_string, whose String grows as it writes and frees each
outgrown buffer unwiped, leaving partial copies of the bearer token on the
heap. Zeroizing only wiped the final buffer.

stack-profile's SecretBuf already wipes every buffer it outgrows, so it is
now public (with into_zeroizing to hand the allocation over without a
copy) and both stores serialise into it.

post_json and post_form serialised bodies that carry an access key, an
OIDC JWT or a refresh token through serde_json::to_vec and
serde_urlencoded::to_string, which grow a plain buffer and free each
outgrown copy unwiped.

post_json now writes into a SecretBuf. serde_urlencoded can only write into
a String, so post_form sizes that String up front at three times the body's
JSON length, a proven upper bound on the form encoding, and asserts in debug
builds that it never grew.

Adds form_urlencoded as a direct dependency (already in every lockfile
through serde_urlencoded) and the @cipherstash/auth changeset.

The token_store.rs helpers pushed the wasm32 impl down 22 lines, so the
line-anchored exclusion stopped matching and its save mutant, which the
native test build cannot reach, failed the gate.

…n JSON

Review follow-ups on #1617:

- AutoRefresh now caps every token it holds (initial, store-loaded and
  refreshed) at 30 days from now. A token saved before the /api/authorise
  cap, or written into a caller-writable store, with expires_at u64::MAX was
  otherwise never treated as expired.
- The napi and wasm TokenStore adapters serialised with
  serde_json::to_string, leaving the same unwiped fragments the Rust stores
  no longer do. Both now write into a SecretBuf; the napi one moves the bytes
  into the String it hands to JS instead of copying them.
- form_body measures the JSON with a counting writer instead of serialising
  a second full copy of the secret into a SecretBuf.

Re-capping a loaded token at now + 30 days let a process that restarts more
often than every 30 days use a token claiming expires_at = u64::MAX for ever,
because each new engine capped it afresh. A token of unknown issue time (the
initial one or one from a TokenStore) that claims more than the cap is now
treated as already expired and refreshed before use; a freshly refreshed
token is still capped, since it was issued just now.

Also bound the wait in a_survivor_of_a_cancelled_sibling_still_caches_its_token,
which hung (instead of failing) when the request body was wrong, so the
mutants gate timed out on json_body mutants rather than catching them.

Compare a loaded token's expiry against now + the cap directly, so the
comparison mutants change behaviour only at the boundary the tests pin,
and bound the second get_token in the refreshed-token cap test: with a cap
mutated short it waited on the refresh gate for ever and the mutants gate
timed out instead of catching the mutant.

A token that claims to outlive the 30-day cap is now refreshed before use,
so the shared test fixture's u64::MAX expiry sent
get_token_accepts_a_token_from_the_pinned_workspace (new on main) to the
network. An hour from now reads as valid without tripping the cap.
