API-key middleware는 configured key가 있을 때 Python hmac.compare_digest의 문자열 경계에서 non-ASCII 입력이 TypeError를 일으킬 수 있었습니다. 이 PR은 비교 대상을 UTF-8 bytes로 정규화해 invalid non-ASCII input도 기존 인증 실패 계약인 401 {"error":"Invalid or missing API key"}로 fail closed하게 만듭니다. 현재 근거로는 correctness/availability defect이며 서비스 전체의 CRITICAL DoS로 과장하지 않습니다.

Current exact state — 2026-09-07

  • protected/base: main@47c6fd27de13b0da37a7db64697b869941909351
  • exact head: 1addd7e8b6a3d9f1d7fc906e9c961787e15ac88b
  • lifecycle: Draft / causal source + lifecycle-safe regression present / fresh hosted gates pending
  • effective delta: saas_web.py, tests/test_saas_web.py

Reviewed predecessor 78fd5f3761d79ca5aaec7868d639cc3270ebff7f의 regression은 asyncio.new_event_loop().run_until_complete(...)를 만들고 loop를 닫지 않는 test lifecycle leak이 있었습니다. normal descendant 1addd7e8...는 이를 asyncio.run(...)으로 수리하고 regression을 확장했습니다. current test가 검증하는 계약은 matching configured ASCII key 성공, incorrect ASCII key 401, non-ASCII header가 TypeError/500 없이 동일 401 JSON으로 fail closed하는 것입니다.

Production require_api_key()는 기존 documentation과 하나의 constant-time comparison boundary를 유지하고 test-only production seam을 추가하지 않았습니다. CodeRabbit의 40% docstring metric은 diff에 포함된 test helper/test methods까지 함께 센 값이며, touched production middleware 자체에는 이미 인증 경계·예외·constant-time 이유를 설명하는 docstring이 있습니다. 의미 없는 test docstring을 채우기 위해 production 품질을 왜곡하지 않습니다.

Exact-head acceptance

1addd7e8...에서 materialized CI 34061802238, fuzz 34061802215, SAST 34061802329, CodeQL PR 34061802252, Security Scan 34061802200은 fresh 조회 시 모두 queued였습니다. predecessor GREEN은 전용하지 않습니다. unchanged exact head에서 applicable gates가 terminal GREEN이고 valid current-head finding이 0이며 then-live ruleset의 independent current-head review를 충족할 때만 Ready/merge를 검토합니다.

No self-approval, gate weakening, scanner suppression, source-neutral CI retrigger, force push, destructive rebase, or severity inflation.

API Key 인증 로직에서 `hmac.compare_digest`에 non-ASCII 문자열이 전달될 때 발생하는 `TypeError`를 수정했습니다. 두 문자열을 비교하기 전에 모두 `utf-8`로 인코딩하도록 변경하여 500 내부 서버 오류(DoS 공격 가능성)를 방지했습니다. 관련된 유닛 테스트 케이스도 함께 추가했습니다.

API 키 비교를 UTF-8 바이트 기반의 hmac.compare_digest 호출로 변경했습니다. 비ASCII x-api-key 헤더가 충돌 없이 401 응답으로 처리되는지 테스트를 추가했습니다.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 78fd5

Non-ASCII API keys now produce a 401 response instead of an HTTP 500. The change is mergeable with a small test cleanup to close the newly created event loop or use asyncio.run().

생성한 이벤트 루프를 닫으세요.

asyncio.new_event_loop()로 생성한 이벤트 루프를 run_until_complete() 후 닫지 않습니다. 반복 실행 시 리소스가 남고 ResourceWarning이 발생할 수 있습니다. asyncio.run()을 사용하세요.

수정 예시
-            res = asyncio.new_event_loop().run_until_complete(require_api_key(req, dummy_call_next))
+            res = asyncio.run(require_api_key(req, dummy_call_next))

@jules 78fd5f3761d79ca5aaec7868d639cc3270ebff7f의 valid review finding을 normal descendant로 수리해 주세요. tests/test_saas_web.py::test_non_ascii_header_does_not_crashasyncio.new_event_loop().run_until_complete(...)를 만들고 loop를 닫지 않습니다. asyncio.run(require_api_key(...))처럼 lifecycle-safe하게 실제 middleware coroutine을 실행하되 test-only production seam은 만들지 마세요. matching configured ASCII key 성공, missing/incorrect ASCII 401, non-ASCII header가 TypeError/500 없이 기존 401 JSON 계약으로 fail closed하는 regression을 보존·보강하세요. current severity는 correctness/availability defect로만 다루며 CRITICAL/서비스 전체 DoS를 재도입하지 마세요. exact-head hosted tests/security/SAST/CodeQL이 새 SHA에서 끝나기 전 Ready로 올리지 말고, force/rebase/gate weakening/source-neutral retrigger는 하지 마세요.
