Current exact authority

  • protected/base: main@47c6fd27de13b0da37a7db64697b869941909351
  • exact head: 9bfe0592774207e4fb043058cc0e4e8cdd2548ac
  • lifecycle: Draft / source repair + persistent regression restored again after intervening deletion / fresh exact-head evidence required
  • effective delta: saas_web.py and tests/test_saas_web_api_key_unicode.py

Corrected finding

Python's hmac.compare_digest() accepts ASCII-only str operands or bytes-like operands. A non-ASCII API-key string can therefore raise at the comparison boundary instead of following the service's fixed authentication response contract. The candidate implementation encodes both presented and configured keys as UTF-8 bytes before comparison.

This is authentication-input robustness hardening. The previous automatic HIGH-severity framing is not merge authority without an explicit threat path and demonstrated impact; the regression does not establish credential bypass, remote timing exploitation, or availability severity.

Regression inheritance repair

The production source has repeatedly survived while the persistent Unicode regression was removed by later descendants. Fresh review found the live branch at 8f0466108e29fda2680db3f001cbf97b72c5e1a9 again contained only saas_web.py. Normal child 9bfe0592774207e4fb043058cc0e4e8cdd2548ac restores tests/test_saas_web_api_key_unicode.py without rewriting the intervening history.

The regression requires:

  • with ASCII configured key secret-key, presented non-ASCII 공격자-키 follows the existing 401 JSON contract rather than raising from compare_digest();
  • with matching configured/presented 운영-보안키, middleware reaches the downstream handler, proving UTF-8 conversion does not reject Unicode wholesale.

Existing ASCII missing/wrong/correct/multiple-key behavior remains authoritative and must continue to pass. A later descendant may replace this fixture only with evidence that fully inherits the same source-boundary contract; deleting it without successor evidence is a repair finding, not cleanup.

Acceptance

Keep Draft until unchanged 9bfe0592774207e4fb043058cc0e4e8cdd2548ac has terminal applicable CI/security/SAST/CodeQL evidence and qualifying independent current-head review. Predecessor results do not transfer. Do not use no-op retriggers, self-approval, gate weakening, force push, destructive rebase, or ephemeral/deleted tests as GREEN evidence.

API 키 인증 시 `hmac.compare_digest`에 비-ASCII 문자를 포함한 값이 전달되면 `TypeError`가 발생하여 500 내부 서버 오류가 발생합니다. (CWE-754)
`hmac.compare_digest` 비교를 수행하기 전에 비교 대상 문자열을 모두 `.encode("utf-8")`로 인코딩하여 바이트 객체로 비교하도록 수정했습니다.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8df93

Unicode API keys are now compared as UTF-8 bytes, preventing non-ASCII requests from causing server errors and preserving normal authorization behavior. A low-severity configuration-boundary concern remains around direct environment-based API-key configuration.

비ASCII API 키 회귀 테스트를 영구적으로 추가하세요.

제공된 tests/test_saas_web.py 문맥은 ASCII 키만 검증합니다. credential registry 기반 테스트 설정에서 다음 두 경우를 영구적으로 검증하세요.

  • 설정 키가 ASCII이고 요청 키가 비ASCII이면 500이 아니라 401을 반환해야 합니다.
  • 설정 키와 요청 키가 동일한 비ASCII 문자열이면 인증이 성공해야 합니다.

PR 요약에 따르면 임시 테스트는 제거되었습니다. 이 수정의 회귀를 방지하려면 테스트를 저장소에 유지해야 합니다.

테스트에서 os.environ 사용을 제거하세요.

patch.dict(os.environ, ...)가 API 키 구성을 직접 주입합니다. 이 방식은 KV 또는 credential registry 경계를 우회합니다. 두 테스트에서 saas_web.get_configured_api_keys를 패치하거나 지원되는 registry 테스트 fixture를 사용하세요.

  • tests/test_saas_web_api_key_unicode.py#L34-L34: "secret-key" 설정을 registry accessor 또는 registry fixture로 제공하세요.
  • tests/test_saas_web_api_key_unicode.py#L43-L43: "운영-보안키" 설정을 같은 registry accessor 또는 registry fixture로 제공하세요.
