fix(node): require auth on /node/debug and surface key-file load errors#139fbsobreira wants to merge 3 commits into
Conversation
Remediation for the three items in GHSA-h97x-7h5v-wjx4, classified as hardening rather than a published advisory. /node/debug was registered open with no secured flag, four lines above /log which carries one, so the interceptor and resolver debug store - enabled by default - answered unauthenticated. Reachability is bounded by the loopback default, so this is a default-posture gap rather than an auth bypass. Mark it secured, matching /log. getSkPk only returned an error for the file-not-found case. Any other load failure - corrupt pem, wrong KEY_PASSWORD, unreadable file - returned nil error with empty key material, which also skipped the len(readPk) > 0 public-key comparison in readCryptoParams. Startup still failed closed, because the BLS suite rejects an empty scalar, but the operator saw a deserialize error naming neither the file nor the cause. Return the error at its source and match the not-found case with errors.Is(err, os.ErrNotExist) rather than on error text. Generating a key when the pem is absent is deliberate - it lets an observer start without operator-provided key material - so that path is unchanged. It was effectively silent, and the node cannot tell at that point whether it was meant to carry a registered validator identity, so log it at WARN with the generated public key. Add tests pinning both behaviours: an unloadable pem is never overwritten with a generated key, and an absent pem still creates one. Document that the api.yaml credentials field holds a digest rather than a password, with a command to generate one, and compare it with subtle.ConstantTimeCompare.

Learning: In Go structs that are JSON-marshaled, if a field is a `bool` and has the `json:"...,omitempty"` tag, then leaving that field at its zero value (`false`) is functionally equivalent (in the resulting JSON) to explicitly setting `Foundation: false`. Reviewers should not flag struct literals that omit such `bool` fields as an inconsistency; they will serialize identically because `omitempty` suppresses `false` values.

Learning: In Go, the pattern `append([]byte(nil), src...)` should be treated as preserving nil identity when `src` is a nil `[]byte`: spreading a nil slice contributes zero variadic arguments, so `append` performs no allocation and returns the original nil destination slice unchanged (i.e., result is nil, not an empty non-nil slice). Do not flag this as an incorrect empty-slice conversion; it intentionally maintains `nil`.

Pull request overview
This PR hardens node API security and improves operator diagnostics around key-file handling, addressing items triaged under GHSA-h97x-7h5v-wjx4. It closes an unauthenticated exposure on /node/debug, makes key-file load failures surface with actionable context, and updates auth/config handling to be safer and clearer for operators.
Changes:
- Require authentication for
/node/debugvia route config (secured: true). - Improve key-file loading behavior: only generate keys on true “file not found”, otherwise return the underlying load error; add warning logs when auto-generating.
- Update Basic Auth verification to use constant-time comparison and improve credential-field documentation; add key-file safety tests.

…docs Assert that getSkPk returns an error for an unloadable pem before checking that the file was preserved. Surfacing the load error is the point of the change and nothing covered it; against the previous code the call returned a nil error, so the test now catches a regression instead of passing. Drop the duplicated path from the wrapped error. LoadSkPkFromPemFile already names the file, so the message repeated it and read as a run-on. Use context-first wrapping instead: "loading validator key: <err>". Document the digest generation command for GNU coreutils alongside the macOS form, since sha256sum is the usual tool on Linux nodes.

@coderabbitai — the outside-diff finding on I reproduced it before changing anything. With a key file at a path containing The substring branch matched on the path, not on the error type, so a corrupt or unreadable key file took the generate-and-replace branch and Three notes for the record:
Also added the regression test you asked for: I have corrected the PR description as well — it previously claimed key material "was never at risk" under the old code, which this finding disproves. |

Tip For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.
The type-only check is correct. It prevents a key-file path from changing the error classification. The new test covers the destructive case: a corrupt PEM file must return an error and must not be replaced. The finding is addressed. 🐇 ✏️ Learnings added
You are interacting with an AI system. |
isSkPemFileNotFound matched the not-found case with a substring search for "no such file or directory". LoadSkPkFromPemFile embeds the file path in its errors, so any key file on a path containing that text made a corrupt or unreadable pem look absent. getSkPk then took the generate-and-replace branch and CreateWallet destroyed the existing key. Reproduced before fixing: the call returned a nil error and the file was replaced. Match by type only. The substring was never load-bearing - os.Open returns a *PathError that errors.Is resolves, which the existing not-found test already covers - so it bought nothing and cost this. The hazard pre-dates this branch; it is fixed here because this change owns that function and asserts the file is never overwritten. Add TestKeyFileSafety_NotFoundIsMatchedByTypeNotMessage, which places a corrupt pem on a path containing the legacy text and asserts both that the error surfaces and that the file survives. Verified it fails without the fix. Assert the corrupt-pem error carries its "loading validator key" context, so a bare deserialize error cannot satisfy the test.

Nothing pins this flag anywhere. No test loads the shipped yaml (config/api_test.go only builds synthetic route configs), and routes_test.go:554 still declares /debug as open: true with no Secured, so if this line gets dropped in a reformat or a merge conflict resolution, CI stays green. Can we add a test that parses config/node/api.yaml and asserts IsRouteSecured("node", "/debug")? factory/process_test.go:107 already reads a shipped config that way. Worth flipping that routes_test case to Secured: true too and covering the 401 for an unauthenticated request, otherwise /log is the only secured route ever exercised end to end.

Strictly this only changes the default for fresh installs. routeHasFlag returns false when the flag is absent, and upgrading the binary doesn't rewrite an operator's existing api.yaml, so every node already out there keeps /debug open and unauthenticated with no signal that anything changed. Could we log a warn at startup when /debug is open but not secured? api.go:148 already does that for the secured-but-not-open /subscribe case, and open-but-not-secured is the direction that actually leaves state exposed. The required config edit is worth a line in the release notes too.

Read your reply to Copilot on this, but I'd push back on deferring it, since this PR is exactly what makes this middleware the gate on /node/debug. The branch just above returns username does not exist instead of invalid password and bails before the hash ever runs, so usernames are enumerable straight off the response body with one request each, and that timing gap is much wider than the compare you just hardened. Can we collapse both failures into a single invalid credentials response and always compute the hash, comparing against a fixed dummy digest of the same length so the length short-circuit doesn't split the paths again? TestIncorrectUser asserts the current message verbatim, so it has to move with it.

Separate thing on this line, and not yours: hasher is a single instance captured by the closure and shared across every request, and Blake2b.Compute does an unsynchronized check-then-write on emptyHash for zero-length input, which any unauthenticated caller can reach by sending Basic Auth with an empty password. Shipped config is sha256 so it doesn't bite today. The fix belongs in the blake2b package (a sync.Once, like Sha256 already has), so I'd file it separately rather than grow this diff. Flagging it so it doesn't get lost.

Any reason for a new file here? cryptoSigningParams_test.go already covers getSkPk, and this one reaches into it for createKeyPair, so the split buys nothing and leaves a cross-file dependency that reads as accidental. Moving the cases over there, and calling the exported GetSkPk() from export_test.go like the neighbours do instead of the unexported one, would match the package. Not asking for less coverage, the corrupt-pem cases are the best part of this PR.

nit: this one and the next are near-identical bodies, only the pem's parent directory differs. Could be a single table with two cases, something like "plain dir" and "dir named 'no such file or directory'". If you do that, keep the ErrorContains as a per-case field since only this one asserts it, and keep the regression intent in the case name so it isn't lost.

nit: TestCryptoSigningParamsLoader_GetSkPk_PathNotFound_CreateNew in cryptoSigningParams_test.go already pins the absent-pem path, and what's genuinely new here is that a wallet file gets written, which is CreateWallet's contract rather than getSkPk's. Thin value, your call whether it stays. Either way the t.Logf at the bottom should go, passing tests should be silent.

Summary
Remediation for the three items reported in
GHSA-h97x-7h5v-wjx4, triaged as security hardening rather than a published advisory. All three are bounded by the loopback default the node ships with; none is an auth bypass or a fund/consensus issue.Companion to #138, which adds the policy these were classified under. Merge this first — #138 states that the shipped YAML is a developer checkout rather than a hardening guide, which should not land while
/debugis still open.Changes
1.
/node/debugnow requires authenticationconfig/node/api.yamlregistered/debugasopen: truewith nosecuredkey — four lines above/log, which has one. The interceptor/resolver debug store is enabled by default (config.yaml,cacheSize: 10000), so the route answered unauthenticated with cached request/resolve state.This is a default-posture gap, not an auth bypass: the route wrapper enforces

Any other failure — corrupt pem, wrongKEY_PASSWORD, unreadable file — returnednilerror with empty key material, which also skipped thelen(readPk) > 0public-key comparison inreadCryptoParams.Startup still failed closed (the BLS suite rejects an empty scalar, verified directly), so this was diagnostic rather than a security exposure — but the operator got

The reporter suggested making a missing pem fatal. Deliberately not doing that — auto-generation is what lets an observer start without operator-provided key material, and removing it would break fresh observers, container images and CI.
What was wrong is that it was effectively silent, and the node cannot tell at that point whether it was meant to carry a registered validator identity. Now logs at
