fix(stack-auth): cap the /api/authorise expiry and wipe serialised token copies - #1617
Follow-up to #1553 (CIP-5159, merged), fixing CIP-5379. It reuses the 30-day cap and SecretBuf that #1553 added.
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.
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.
Request bodies did the same.post_json (serde_json::to_vec), the device-client request and post_form (serde_urlencoded::to_string) carry access keys, OIDC JWTs and refresh tokens.
Response bodies were copied.ReqwestTransport copied each response with .to_vec(), so reqwest's buffer holding the newly minted access token was freed unwiped.
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 deliberately small public surface: new/Default, io::Write, into_zeroizing() (hands the buffer over without copying), and two helpers, SecretBuf::json(&T) and SecretBuf::json_string(&T), that serialise straight into it. The raw accessors as_bytes and read_from stay crate-private. This is an addition to stack-profile's public API.
Every place that serialises a token or request body now goes through those helpers: both token stores, post_json, the device-client request, and the save callbacks of the Node and WASM bindings. InMemoryTokenStore now holds bytes rather than a String. TokenStoreFn still hands its save closure a String, moved out of the buffer rather than copied.
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 is only counted, never stored. A debug_assert checks that the String never grew.
ReqwestTransport moves the response body out of reqwest's Bytes with Vec::from instead of copying it, when the buffer is not shared, so the allocation holding the token is the one HttpResponse wipes on drop. It falls back to a copy if the buffer is shared. Buffers below reqwest (TLS, hyper, gzip, the browser's fetch on WASM) are still out of reach.
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.
response_body_takes_over_the_buffer_it_is_given failed with .to_vec() (the pointer changed) and passes with Vec::from.
The SecretBuf tests for into_zeroizing and the json helpers 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 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-wasm --target wasm32-unknown-unknown passes. cargo metadata --locked passes for all six lockfiles.
Checked against the company rust-security rules: no unsafe, no Debug/Clone/AsRef/Deref on SecretBuf, no secret in any log line, and both crates keep the security lint block.
The post_form bound is an argument, not a type guarantee. It holds for the flat string-valued structs the 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, and the Node/WASM saveToken callbacks, still receive a plain String, as before. That keeps the public signature the same. What the callback does with it is the caller's concern.
The Node and WASM binding crates don't carry the security lint block. That predates this PR, so I've left it.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
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.

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.
languages/typescript/packages/auth/src/lib.rs:297 (outside diff) major The napi NapiTokenStore::save still uses serde_json::to_string(token), freeing outgrown buffers that hold token prefixes unwiped, then makes a second unwiped copy with json.to_string() at :301. .changeset/auth-authorise-expiry-cap-and-body-wiping.md tells @cipherstash/auth users that "callback token stores" now leave no partial copies, which is false for this path. Serialise into SecretBuf with to_writer (the crate already depends on stack-profile), move the bytes out instead of .to_string(), or soften the changeset. Source: code-review · claude-opus-5-5
languages/typescript/packages/stack-auth-wasm/src/lib.rs:157 (outside diff) majorJsTokenStore::save, shipped through @cipherstash/auth's ./wasm and ./wasm-inline exports, also serialises with serde_json::to_string(token), so every save leaves token-prefix fragments in wasm linear memory, against the same changeset claim. Serialise into SecretBuf (add a stack-profile dependency, or re-export a token-JSON helper from stack-auth). Source: code-review · claude-opus-5-5
packages/stack-auth/src/auto_refresh.rs:308 (outside diff) minor The 30-day cap is applied only in AuthoriseResponse::into_token; a token loaded from a durable TokenStore keeps its stored expires_at, so one persisted with u64::MAX before this fix never satisfies is_expired_at and is sent for ever, the failure the changeset says is fixed. 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:512response.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.

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.

- Around line 328-334: Update the token-loading path in AutoRefresh so a legacy
token capped by capped receives an expiry that remains stable across new
instances; persist the capped token through the existing store write path rather
than recapping the unchanged stored value on each load. Add a shared-store
restart test that verifies repeated short-lived AutoRefresh instances retain the

Review attestation
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.

stack-auth serialises access keys, JWTs and tokens with serde_json's
to_vec and to_string. Those grow a plain buffer as they write, and each
outgrown copy is freed without being wiped.
SecretBuf already avoids this for profile files. Make it public with a
small surface (new, Default, io::Write, into_zeroizing, json and
json_string) so stack-auth and the bindings can serialise secrets
through it too. The raw accessors stay crate-private.

serde_json's to_string and to_vec, and serde_urlencoded's to_string,
grow a plain buffer as they write. Each outgrown copy of the token, access
key, OIDC JWT or refresh token is freed without being wiped, so partial
copies are left on the heap.
Serialise all of them through stack_profile::SecretBuf instead:
InMemoryTokenStore, TokenStoreFn, the Node and WASM binding save
callbacks, post_json and the device client. A form body is written into
a String reserved at its worst-case size up front, so it never grows.
The mutants exclusion for TokenStoreFn's wasm32 load and save moves to
their new line numbers.

The bundled transport copied the response body with Bytes::to_vec. A
response from /api/authorise carries the new access token, and the copy
left reqwest's own buffer to be freed without being wiped.
Vec::from(Bytes) takes over the allocation when nothing else shares it,
so the token is wiped with the HttpResponse instead.

CTS /api/authorise returns an absolute expiry, which was used as is. A
bad value such as u64::MAX made the token look valid for ever, so
AutoRefresh kept sending a dead token until the process restarted. A
relative expires_in was already capped at 30 days; the absolute one was
not.
AuthoriseResponse::into_token(now) now caps the expiry at 30 days from
now, through token::cap_expires_at. AutoRefresh also caps every token it
refreshes. A token it is built with, or loads from a store, is refreshed
before use if it claims more than 30 days: its issue time is unknown, and
re-capping it on each load would let a process that restarts often use
it for ever.
raw_token in the test support now expires in an hour rather than at
u64::MAX, which the engine now distrusts. Tests that wait on the engine
are bounded with timeouts so a mutant that breaks it fails instead of
hanging cargo-mutants.

Summary
Follow-up to #1553 (CIP-5159, merged), fixing CIP-5379. It reuses the 30-day cap and
SecretBufthat #1553 added./api/authoriseexpiry had no cap. CTS returns an absoluteexpiry, and it was copied into the token as-is. A buggy or hostile server answeringexpiry: u64::MAXmade the token look valid for ever, soAutoRefreshkept sending it after the server stopped accepting it.InMemoryTokenStoreandTokenStoreFnbuilt the JSON withserde_json::to_string. ThatStringgrows as it writes and frees each outgrown buffer without wiping it.Zeroizingonly wiped the last one.post_json(serde_json::to_vec), the device-client request andpost_form(serde_urlencoded::to_string) carry access keys, OIDC JWTs and refresh tokens.ReqwestTransportcopied each response with.to_vec(), so reqwest's buffer holding the newly minted access token was freed unwiped.Changes
AuthoriseResponse::into_token(now)replacesFrom<AuthoriseResponse> for Token, and caps the expiry with the newtoken::cap_expires_at(now, expires_at)atnow + MAX_TOKEN_LIFETIME_SECS. Both refreshers pass the wall clock.AutoRefreshno longer trusts a token whose issue time it doesn't know (one loaded from aTokenStore, 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 fixtureraw_tokennow expires an hour from now rather than atu64::MAX.stack-profilenow exportsSecretBufwith a deliberately small public surface:new/Default,io::Write,into_zeroizing()(hands the buffer over without copying), and two helpers,SecretBuf::json(&T)andSecretBuf::json_string(&T), that serialise straight into it. The raw accessorsas_bytesandread_fromstay crate-private. This is an addition to stack-profile's public API.post_json, the device-client request, and thesavecallbacks of the Node and WASM bindings.InMemoryTokenStorenow holds bytes rather than aString.TokenStoreFnstill hands itssaveclosure aString, moved out of the buffer rather than copied.serde_urlencodedcan only write into aString. Sopost_formreserves thatStringat 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 is only counted, never stored. Adebug_assertchecks that theStringnever grew.ReqwestTransportmoves the response body out of reqwest'sByteswithVec::frominstead of copying it, when the buffer is not shared, so the allocation holding the token is the oneHttpResponsewipes on drop. It falls back to a copy if the buffer is shared. Buffers below reqwest (TLS, hyper, gzip, the browser's fetch on WASM) are still out of reach.form_urlencodedis now a direct dependency ofstack-auth. It was already in the graph throughserde_urlencoded, so each of the six lockfiles that buildstack-authby path gains one line.@cipherstash/authpatch changeset.Verification

authorize_dto.rs, the two refreshers,token_store.rsortransport.rs, so no rebase is needed against them.Review notes
post_formbound is an argument, not a type guarantee. It holds for the flat string-valued structs the call sites send. Adebug_assertcatches a body shape that breaks it. A release build would send the correct bytes but could leave one unwiped copy behind.SecretBufpublic 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'ssaveclosure, and the Node/WASMsaveTokencallbacks, still receive a plainString, as before. That keeps the public signature the same. What the callback does with it is the caller's concern.Generated by Claude Code
