From c18184984eac4cc39f115c1866dc3a9babfed8b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: YairEtzion Date: Sun, 5 Apr 2026 21:27:51 +0300 Subject: [PATCH 01/14] =?UTF-8?q?security(shell-cipher):=20fix=20H3=20?= =?UTF-8?q?=E2=80=94=20DoS=20via=20counter=20desync=20on=20injected=20fram?= =?UTF-8?q?e?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit `ShellCipher.decrypt()` advanced `recvCounter` in `nextRecvNonce()` before the ciphertext was authenticated, so any malformed frame (trivially injectable by an untrusted relay) left the session permanently desynced — every subsequent legitimate frame then failed the nonce-match check, killing shell sessions with a single packet. Rename `nextRecvNonce` to `peekRecvNonce` (does not mutate state) and only increment `recvCounter` after a successful Poly1305 verification. Applied to both packages/agent/src/shell-cipher.ts and packages/cli/src/shell-cipher.ts. Adds adversarial tests that inject (a) a plausible-looking garbage frame and (b) a ciphertext with a flipped tag byte, and assert that subsequent legitimate frames still decrypt cleanly. --- .../agent/src/__tests__/shell-cipher.test.ts | 36 +++++++++++++++++++ packages/agent/src/shell-cipher.ts | 18 +++++++--- .../cli/src/__tests__/shell-cipher.test.ts | 33 +++++++++++++++++ packages/cli/src/shell-cipher.ts | 18 +++++++--- 4 files changed, 95 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/packages/agent/src/__tests__/shell-cipher.test.ts b/packages/agent/src/__tests__/shell-cipher.test.ts index 06e1fed..5eb1cfa 100644 --- a/packages/agent/src/__tests__/shell-cipher.test.ts +++ b/packages/agent/src/__tests__/shell-cipher.test.ts @@ -88,6 +88,42 @@ describe('ShellCipher', () => { ); }); + it('survives an injected garbage frame without desyncing the session', () => { + // Adversarial test for H3: a relay forwarding a junk frame must not + // permanently break the session.

Critically, the signature was not bound to the ECDH ephemeral keys or any transcript — so a relay that held a shared secret on each leg (the explicit threat model per protocol-spec.md) could decrypt the controller's encrypted identity on leg A, re-encrypt the SAME valid-signed envelope on leg B, and the agent would verify the signature, find the controller in its allow list, and derive a session key from the relay-held shared secret. Full impersonation, no user interaction. Fix: selfSig now covers a canonical transcript bound to the ECDH exchange: "amesh-shell-v1\n" || publicKeyBase64 || "\n" || deviceId || "\n" || friendlyName || "\n" || timestamp || "\n" || sha256(signerEphPub || verifierEphPub) Each side signs using the ephemeral keys IT put on the wire and received, and verifies using the ephemeral keys IT observed. A MITM sees different peer ephemerals on each leg, so a signature captured from leg A no longer verifies on leg B. The `amesh-shell-v1` domain prefix also prevents cross-protocol reuse with the pairing selfSig format. Applied in both packages/agent and packages/cli. `buildShellSigMessage` is exported so tests can exercise it directly.

M1 — connectionCount double-decrement bypass of MAX_CONNECTIONS `open()` decremented on overflow rejection AND `close()` decremented again, so the counter drifted negative under repeated rejections and the > MAX_CONNECTIONS gate silently stopped firing. Fix: mark rejected sockets via `ws.data.rejected = true`, leave the decrement to `close()`, and skip `cleanupSocket` for rejected ones. Expose `maxConnections` as a createRelayServer option for testability. H4 — bootstrap token single_use enforcement The payload claimed `single_use: true` but nothing ever tracked jtis, so a leaked token could pair N attacker-controlled targets within the TTL. Add a consumed-jti map with 25h TTL (covers MAX_TTL 24h + clock skew) and a 1M-entry cap. `handleBootstrapInit` rejects replayed jtis with `bootstrap_reject { error: "token_already_used" }` and burns the jti immediately on first init (fail-safe: even if downstream bootstrap fails, the token cannot be retried). Piggyback cleanup on the existing bootstrap watcher timer. H1 — rate limiter X-Forwarded-For support `srv.requestIP(req)?.address` returned the load-balancer peer on Cloud Run / nginx / Cloudflare, collapsing all clients into one rate-limit bucket. Add `extractClientIp(req, srv, trustProxy)` that takes the left-most XFF entry (RFC 7239 originating client) when `trustProxy` is true, validates it via `isValidIp`, and falls back to the socket peer on malformed input or when trustProxy is false. Default reads `AMESH_TRUST_PROXY` env var; must be opt-in so directly-exposed relays don't honour spoofable headers. Cloud Run operators should set `AMESH_TRUST_PROXY=1`.

Four holes closed: 1. `iat` (not-before): a token with iat in the future — e.g. from a backdated issuer clock — silently extended the effective lifetime. Now rejected when `iat > now + 60s`. 2. `header.alg`: never checked. Pinned to `ES256`. Defense-in-depth against future crypto swaps or alg-confusion attacks. 3. `payload.scope`: never checked. Pinned to `peer:add` (the only scope currently defined). Future scopes must explicitly opt in rather than being silently honoured by old validators. 4. `payload.single_use`: never checked. Must be `true`. The relay now enforces single-use via a jti registry (see H4), but the structural invariant is also checked here so tokens can't claim to be multi-use. `typeof` guards added on `iat` / `exp` to reject structurally invalid payloads before any crypto.

Both files were mode 0o600 in the same directory, so any attacker with filesystem read access got both in the same step — defeating the point of the Argon2id + AES-256-GCM layer. Fix: - New helpers in paths.ts (both agent and cli packages): getPassphrasePath() — `~/.amesh/.passphrase`, or `AMESH_PASSPHRASE_FILE` override savePassphrase(pass) — atomic tmp+rename, final mode 0o400 deletePassphraseFile() — idempotent cleanup for --force resolvePassphrase(identity) — env var → file → legacy identity.passphrase (auto-migrated with deprecation warning) - context.ts, agent.ts, shell-client.ts in both packages now use resolvePassphrase and persist the migration back to identity.json so legacy installs silently upgrade on next load. - commands/init.ts: prefers AUTH_MESH_PASSPHRASE env var so secrets can stay off disk entirely; otherwise auto-generates and writes to the dedicated file, NOT identity.json. On --force, stale passphrase files are cleared so a backend switch doesn't leave orphaned state. - identity.ts: `passphrase` field marked DEPRECATED; kept readable for backward compatibility while auto-migration runs. - sdk/bootstrap.ts: mirrors the same behaviour. Also completes the M6 rollout for the SDK bootstrap path by calling validateTokenInvariants() before any network work (header.alg, scope, single_use, iat, exp).

Separately, on ws.close() during an active shell the agent daemon scheduled a reconnect but did NOT tear down the running bash process, idle timer, or cipher. sessionActive stayed true, so no new session could be accepted until the idle timeout fired (default 30 min). Orphaned bash processes accumulated on every relay blip. Fix: - createMessageReader now returns a dispose() that removes the listener, drains any pending waiter (rejecting with `reader_disposed`), and clears the queue. Idempotent via a `disposed` flag. - agent.ts/shell-client.ts dispose() the reader immediately after the handshake completes, and on all error paths. - agent.ts tracks an `activeSession` object { proc, cipher, idleCheck, messageHandler } in the outer scope. The ws.close handler calls teardownActiveSession('ws_disconnect') which kills the proc, clears the timer, closes the cipher, and resets sessionActive. - handleShellRequest removes its own encrypted-frame listener on exit. Applied symmetrically in packages/agent/src and packages/cli/src. Regression tests: message-reader-dispose.test.ts (both packages) — 5 tests each: listener removal, idempotent dispose, queue not growing post-dispose, pending read() rejects with reader_disposed, pre-dispose messages still consumable. --- .../__tests__/message-reader-dispose.test.ts | 96 +++++++++++++++++++ packages/agent/src/agent.ts | 59 +++++++++++- packages/agent/src/shell-client.ts | 7 ++ packages/agent/src/shell-handshake.ts | 24 ++++- .../__tests__/message-reader-dispose.test.ts | 96 +++++++++++++++++++ packages/cli/src/shell-client.ts | 7 ++ packages/cli/src/shell-handshake.ts | 24 ++++- 7 files changed, 307 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 packages/agent/src/__tests__/message-reader-dispose.test.ts create mode 100644 packages/cli/src/__tests__/message-reader-dispose.test.ts diff --git a/packages/agent/src/__tests__/message-reader-dispose.test.ts b/packages/agent/src/__tests__/message-reader-dispose.test.ts new file mode 100644 index 0000000..a6cd5c3 --- /dev/null +++ b/packages/agent/src/__tests__/message-reader-dispose.test.ts @@ -0,0 +1,96 @@ +import { describe, it, expect } from 'bun:test'; +// We import createMessageReader via the re-export in shell-handshake.ts — it +// isn't exported by name, so we use the module's internal binding. +import { createMessageReader } from '../shell-handshake.js'; + +/** + * Regression test for M4 — the handshake message reader installed a + * `message` listener on the WebSocket that was never removed after the + * handshake completed.

This hashed a byte sequence that differed from what the client signed: - Legitimate clients whose JSON formatting differed from V8's (whitespace, numeric precision, key order, duplicate-key handling) silently failed verification. - Any two byte sequences that parsed to the same object verified against the same signature — a latent relaxation of the BodyHash binding the spec defines. Fix: new getRawBody(req, maxBytes) helper with a strict resolution order: 1. req.rawBody (Buffer/Uint8Array) from a parser verify hook 2. req.body as Buffer (express.raw()) 3. req.body as string (express.text()) 4. Stream-buffer ourselves with a configurable maxBodyBytes cap (default 1 MiB, Content-Length short-circuit) A parsed-object req.body with NO rawBody is now a hard error: returns 500 body_parser_ordering_error rather than silently re-serializing. Users MUST either mount authMeshVerify before body parsers, or pass `verify: (req, _res, buf) => { req.rawBody = buf; }` to express.json(). Documented in docs/protocol-spec.md §8. Also fixed sendError to stop flattening 5xx into {error: "unauthorized"}. 401 still flattens (prevents verification-state oracle attacks), but 400/ 413/5xx return the specific code so misconfiguration is visible.

The KeyStore interface contract is "33-byte compressed P-256 point". Every caller feeding the result into the canonical signing chain got garbage. Fix: - sign() now passes --format=plain to tpm2_sign and falls back to parsing TPMT_SIGNATURE for tpm2-tools 4.x (Ubuntu 20.04) which lacks the flag. The fallback parser is a bounded, defensive field walker exported as parseTpmtSignature. - pemToRaw() now strips the PEM envelope, walks the SPKI DER via a bounded extractSec1PointFromSpki (accepts short- and limited long- form DER lengths), pulls out the 65-byte uncompressed SEC1 point from the BIT STRING, and compresses via p256.Point.fromHex().toBytes(true). - Both helpers exported so they can be tested in isolation (the TPM subprocess itself can't run on macOS CI).

That made the HMAC brittle across code refactors, cross-runtime interop, and manual file edits — deterministic today but a latent footgun. Fix: new stableStringify that sorts object keys lexicographically at every level, recurses into arrays in order, drops undefined fields to match JSON semantics, and caps recursion at 32 levels as a sanity check. The HMAC now binds to the CONTENT of the allow list, not the particular object-construction order of the writer.

Remote shell spec (docs/remote-shell-spec.md): - §7 ECDH Handshake — rewritten with a new §7.1 "Transcript-bound selfSig" section showing the exact canonical signed bytes for C1. The old "MITM protection without SAS" paragraph has been corrected — it was the exact logic flaw that caused C1 (claimed allow-list pubkey match was sufficient; in reality a MITM doesn't substitute permanent keys, it forwards real selfSig envelopes). - §8 Security Considerations — updated relay trust model to reference the transcript-bound selfSig, added "Frame cipher desync resistance (H3)" subsection. CHANGELOG.md: - New [Unreleased] section listing all 18 findings by severity with a one-paragraph description each, plus an Operator Actions Required block covering AMESH_TRUST_PROXY, middleware ordering, and the passphrase migration log line. Landpage: - docs/key-storage — rewritten Encrypted File Details section to show the new passphrase resolution order (env var → dedicated file → legacy migration), drop the "stores in identity.json" claim, and add an amber warning about filesystem-read adversaries. - docs/key-storage — added AMESH_PASSPHRASE_FILE to env var list. - docs/remote-shell — AUTH_MESH_PASSPHRASE reframed as a "preferred for production" option; added AMESH_PASSPHRASE_FILE entry. - docs/self-hosting — Cloud Run example now sets AMESH_TRUST_PROXY=1 with an amber "Required" callout explaining why. Security section rewritten to mention transcript-bound shell MITM protection, separate bootstrap_watch rate limiter, single-use bootstrap tokens, session caps, and the XFF trust model. --- CHANGELOG.md | 30 ++ docs/protocol-spec.md | 112 +++++- docs/remote-shell-spec.md | 40 +- docs/security-audit-2026-04.md | 342 ++++++++++++++++++ .../src/routes/docs/key-storage/+page.svelte | 24 +- .../src/routes/docs/remote-shell/+page.svelte | 3 +- .../src/routes/docs/self-hosting/+page.svelte | 26 +- 7 files changed, 545 insertions(+), 32 deletions(-) create mode 100644 docs/security-audit-2026-04.md diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index ce92496..f46067c 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -4,6 +4,36 @@ All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

A compromised relay (explicitly in-threat-model) could decrypt one leg's encrypted identity envelope and re-encrypt it onto the other leg, producing a signature that verified on both sides while the relay held the session key. `selfSig` is now bound to a `sha256(signerEphPub || verifierEphPub)` transcript under the `amesh-shell-v1` domain prefix. See `docs/remote-shell-spec.md §7.1`. +- **C2 / H2 — Encrypted-file passphrase stored next to the encrypted key (CRITICAL).** The auto-generated passphrase was written into `~/.amesh/identity.json` in the same directory as `~/.amesh/keys/.key.json`, making the Argon2id layer cosmetic against any filesystem-read adversary. Passphrase now lives in a dedicated `~/.amesh/.passphrase` file (mode `0o400`) with `AMESH_PASSPHRASE_FILE` override and `AUTH_MESH_PASSPHRASE` env-var override. Legacy installs auto-migrate on first read with a one-time warning log. +- **H1 — Relay rate limiter used load-balancer IP (HIGH).** `Bun.serve().requestIP()` returns the LB peer on Cloud Run / nginx / Cloudflare, collapsing all clients into a global 5/min bucket. Relay now extracts the left-most `X-Forwarded-For` entry when `AMESH_TRUST_PROXY=1|true|yes`, with strict IP format validation. **Operator action required:** set `AMESH_TRUST_PROXY=1` in your Cloud Run service config. +- **H3 — ShellCipher DoS via counter desync on injected frame (HIGH).** `ShellCipher.decrypt()` advanced `recvCounter` before Poly1305 verification, so a single junk frame from an untrusted relay permanently killed every shell session. Counter now only advances after successful AEAD verification. +- **H4 — Bootstrap token `single_use` not enforced (HIGH).** Payload claimed `single_use: true` but no code path tracked consumed `jti`s. Relay now keeps a 25h consumed-jti set and rejects replayed `bootstrap_init` with `bootstrap_reject { error: "token_already_used" }`. Fail-safe: jti is burned on first init even if downstream bootstrap fails. +- **M1 — Relay connection counter double-decrement (Medium).** Overflow rejection decremented both in `open()` AND the subsequent `close()`, letting `connectionCount` drift negative and silently bypass `MAX_CONNECTIONS`. Rejected sockets now set `ws.data.rejected` and leave decrementing to `close()`. +- **M2 — SessionStore unbounded (Medium).** 50,000-session cap with distinct `relay_capacity` error code (separate from `otc_in_use`). Configurable via `createRelayServer({maxSessions})`. +- **M3 — Bootstrap watcher race / DoS (Medium).** `bootstrap_watch` was last-write-wins; an attacker could continuously hijack legitimate watchers. Now rejects claims from different sockets while a healthy watcher holds the jti (`jti_already_watched`), has its own 10/min/IP rate limiter, and validates jti length. +- **M4 — Agent listener leak + orphan bash on reconnect (Medium).** `createMessageReader` now exposes `dispose()`; agent daemon tracks an `ActiveSession` in outer scope and tears down (kill proc, clear timer, close cipher) on relay disconnect. Previously the bash process orphaned and `sessionActive` stayed true until idle timeout. +- **M5 — Middleware body re-serialization (Medium).** `authMeshVerify` previously called `JSON.stringify(req.body)` when `express.json()` had already parsed the body, hashing something different from the client's signed bytes.

Distinct error codes: `unsupported_token_alg`, `unsupported_token_scope`, `token_must_be_single_use`, `token_not_yet_valid`, `token_expired`. + +3. **SDK path parity.** `sdk/bootstrap.ts::bootstrapIfNeeded` now runs the same invariant checks before any network work. + +Relay single-use enforcement is best-effort across relay restarts — operators deploying restart-prone or multi-instance relays should pin bootstrap TTLs short.
