From b106550520453a686a92a7e34c7fe8af31471c43 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: czlonkowski <56956555+czlonkowski@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 6 Oct 2025 14:09:06 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] security: fix CRITICAL timing attack and command injection vulnerabilities (Issue #265) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This commit addresses 2 critical security vulnerabilities identified in the security audit. ## CRITICAL-02: Timing Attack Vulnerability (CVSS 8.5) **Problem:** Non-constant-time string comparison in authentication allowed timing attacks to discover tokens character-by-character through statistical timing analysis (estimated 24-48 hours to compromise). **Fix:** Implemented crypto.timingSafeEqual for all token comparisons **Changes:** - Added AuthManager.timingSafeCompare() constant-time comparison utility - Fixed src/utils/auth.ts:27 - validateToken method - Fixed src/http-server-single-session.ts:1087 - Single-session HTTP auth - Fixed src/http-server.ts:315 - Fixed HTTP server auth - Added 11 unit tests with timing variance analysis (<10% variance proven) ## CRITICAL-01: Command Injection Vulnerability (CVSS 8.8) **Problem:** User-controlled nodeType parameter injected into shell commands via execSync, allowing remote code execution, data exfiltration, and network scanning. **Fix:** Eliminated all shell execution, replaced with Node.js fs APIs **Changes:** - Replaced execSync() with fs.readdir() in enhanced-documentation-fetcher.ts - Added multi-layer input sanitization: /[^a-zA-Z0-9._-]/g - Added directory traversal protection (blocks .., /, relative paths) - Added path.basename() for additional safety - Added final path verification (ensures result within expected directory) - Added 9 integration tests covering all attack vectors ## Test Results All Tests Passing: - Unit tests: 11/11 βœ… (timing-safe comparison) - Integration tests: 9/9 βœ… (command injection prevention) - Timing variance: <10% βœ… (proves constant-time) - All existing tests: βœ… (no regressions) ## Breaking Changes None - All changes are backward compatible. ## References - Security Audit: Issue #265 - Implementation Plan: docs/local/security-implementation-plan-issue-265.md - Audit Analysis: docs/local/security-audit-analysis-issue-265.md πŸ€– Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- CHANGELOG.md | 158 +++++++++++++++++ package.json | 2 +- package.runtime.json | 2 +- src/http-server-single-session.ts | 15 +- src/http-server.ts | 15 +- src/utils/auth.ts | 48 ++++- src/utils/enhanced-documentation-fetcher.ts | 128 +++++++++++--- .../command-injection-prevention.test.ts | 166 ++++++++++++++++++ tests/unit/utils/auth-timing-safe.test.ts | 130 ++++++++++++++ 9 files changed, 625 insertions(+), 39 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/integration/security/command-injection-prevention.test.ts create mode 100644 tests/unit/utils/auth-timing-safe.test.ts diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 37bbf6f..59031bc 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -5,6 +5,164 @@ All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
