From 88a8ee8e2d32c60b5e746f253743e65c789cfdc2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Melvin Carvalho Date: Sun, 10 May 2026 02:20:44 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 01/21] auth: serve /.well-known/did/nostr/.json (#407) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit JSS now publishes did:nostr DID documents at the spec-canonical HTTP-resolution path for any local account whose profile carries a Nostr Multikey verificationMethod. Each pod becomes its own authoritative DID resolver — closing the loop that was forcing the IdP "Sign in with Schnorr" flow to fall back to typed-username hint (#403/#405). Pieces: - src/idp/well-known-did-nostr.js: Fastify handler. Lazily builds a pubkey → accountId index by scanning /.idp/accounts/_webid_index.json and reading each account's profile for f-form Multikey + JsonWebKey entries. 5-min TTL; rebuild on miss. Production hook on LDP write path is a follow-up. - Generates a CID-shaped DID doc (`@context` per spec, `type:DIDNostr`, `alsoKnownAs:[]` from the account record, Multikey VM derived deterministically from the pubkey). Headers per spec: Content-Type application/did+json (or +ld+json for .jsonld alias), Cache-Control max-age=3600, Nostr-Timestamp, Last-Modified. - Accepts .json, .jsonld, and bare on the same handler. 400 on non-hex / wrong-length, 404 when no local account claims the pubkey. - src/server.js: register the route directly (before the LDP wildcard GET /* handler). Registering inside the IdP plugin let the wildcard swallow the dynamic-segment + .json path before our route could match. - src/auth/nostr.js: extracted extractNostrPubkeysFromProfile() — enumerates every Nostr-shaped pubkey in a profile (Multikey or JWK x-coord). Used by the index rebuild. - src/auth/nostr.js: verifyNostrAuth's DID-doc fallback now passes the request's own host as the first resolver via buildResolverList(), ahead of the configured external resolver. Same-pod sign-ins resolve with no third-party hop. - src/auth/did-nostr.js: resolveDidNostrToWebId now accepts an array of resolver URLs, tries each in order, returns the first hit. verifyWebIdBacklink gains a same-origin shortcut: a DID doc served from the same origin as the WebID is authoritative for that origin and doesn't need a bidirectional sameAs check (which a JSS profile doesn't carry by default — it asserts the pubkey via verificationMethod, not via sameAs). This is the key change that makes the flow zero-typing for local users without requiring changes to the profile shape. Tests: 6 integration tests (well-known endpoint live under a real JSS server) + 4 unit tests for extractNostrPubkeysFromProfile. Full suite 710 → 720 pass, no regressions. Closes #407. Refs #403/#405 (typed-username fallback this supersedes for local users), #4/#386 (cross-protocol unification). --- src/auth/did-nostr.js | 70 +++++++++--- src/auth/nostr.js | 68 +++++++++++- src/idp/well-known-did-nostr.js | 172 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/server.js | 11 ++ test/well-known-did-nostr.test.js | 171 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 475 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/idp/well-known-did-nostr.js create mode 100644 test/well-known-did-nostr.test.js diff --git a/src/auth/did-nostr.js b/src/auth/did-nostr.js index a182e400..951cac35 100644 --- a/src/auth/did-nostr.js +++ b/src/auth/did-nostr.js @@ -39,6 +39,20 @@ function rateLimitedError(key, message) { /** * Fetch with timeout */ +/** + * Are two URLs same-origin?

SSRF gadget in buildResolverList (#408 line 521). The new "try request host first" did:nostr resolution fed request-controlled Host / X-Forwarded-* headers into a fetch(). An attacker could craft headers to force outbound fetches to arbitrary internal hosts. Eliminated entirely by switching local resolution to an in-process function call: `resolveDidNostrLocally(pubkey)` — no HTTP, no SSRF surface. resolveDidNostrToWebId reverts to single-resolver signature (the existing external nostr.social fallback). 2. SSRF on did:nostr external fetches (line 118). The existing resolveDidNostrToWebId / verifyWebIdBacklink fetches had no SSRF protection. Now both go through validateExternalUrl with blockPrivateIPs/resolveDNS/requireHttps-in-prod (matching the LWS-CID verifier's policy). The DEFAULT_DID_RESOLVER is trusted, but operators can configure others. 3. Index didn't filter by `authentication` membership (line 79). A VM present in verificationMethod but intentionally NOT in authentication (revocation pending, assertion-only, etc.) would still get a published DID doc that asserted authentication — defeating the user's exclusion. Now collects authentication IDs first and indexes only matching VMs. New test: a key pushed into verificationMethod without authentication membership returns 404. 4. Last-Modified always now() (line 170). Now reflects the underlying profile file's mtime so conditional GET / cache freshness work correctly. Index value bumped to `{ accountId, mtimeMs }`. 5. readJsonOrEmpty swallowed all errors (line 53). Now returns null only on ENOENT; logs other errors via console.error so operational issues (parse error, perms) aren't silent. 6. dataRoot parameter was misleading vs accounts.js (line 67). Documented the constraint in the doc comment: the parameter only differs meaningfully from process.env.DATA_ROOT in non-default deployments, and findById/account-index lookups always go through DATA_ROOT. 7. 400 message claimed lowercase but regex accepted uppercase (line 143). Now: lowercase pubkey before regex check, regex itself is lowercase-only, message just says "64 hex chars". 8. Stale "Fetch with timeout" JSDoc above sameOrigen (line 56). Removed.

Circular import nostr.js ↔ well-known-did-nostr.js. Extracted the shared helpers (extractNostrPubkeysFromProfile, decodeFFormSecp256k1) to src/auth/nostr-keys.js. Both callers now import from there one-directionally. nostr.js re-exports extractNostrPubkeysFromProfile for back-compat with the existing test. 2. Indexer didn't validate CID semantics — could publish a DID doc asserting `pubkey → webId` even when the underlying profile was inconsistent. Now mirrors the resource-side checks before indexing: - profile @id MUST equal account.webId (no fragment-swap) - VM controller MUST be in expected controller set - VM MUST be referenced from authentication (already had this) Profiles failing any check are skipped with no index entry. 3. Duplicate-pubkey "first-write wins" was silent. Now tracks every account that claims each pubkey, drops ambiguous ones from the index, and logs loudly via console.error. Resolution returns 404 for ambiguous keys instead of an arbitrary pick. 4. resolveDidNostrLocally fired even with IdP disabled, hitting /.idp/accounts on every NIP-98 request. Gated behind request.idpEnabled so non-IdP deployments don't touch IdP storage. 5. readJsonOrEmpty doc said "null only on ENOENT" but actually returned null on any error (after logging non-ENOENT). Fixed the doc to match: ENOENT → silent null, other errors → null with console.error so the operational issue surfaces. 6. dataRoot parameter was misleading — only affected profile reads, not the account-index path which derives from process.env.DATA_ROOT. Removed the parameter entirely; everything now reads from the env. Single source of truth. 7. PR description mentioned "array of resolver URLs" but the implementation reverted to single resolverUrl in pass 1. Will update the PR body separately.

But that means the wildcard write handlers (PUT/POST/PATCH/DELETE /*) would accept unauthenticated writes under /.well-known/did/nostr/, creating files on disk that the GET handler would then ignore (it only reads the account index). Storage abuse vector. Fix: register explicit method handlers for the namespace that return 405 Method Not Allowed with an Allow header. Fastify's route specificity beats the wildcard, so writes never reach the LDP layer. 2. HEAD requests fell through to the wildcard HEAD /* handler, which looked for an on-disk file and returned 404 even when GET returned 200. Inconsistent. Fix: register HEAD with the same handler as GET so headers (Content-Type, Cache-Control, Last-Modified) match. 3. The integration test hard-coded idpIssuer to `http://127.0.0.1` (no port) while the helper bound to an OS-assigned ephemeral port. The mismatch was harmless for the GET-only tests we had, but oidc-provider behavior depends on the issuer being accurate, and the divergence from every other IdP test in the suite was a footgun. Fix: switched to the established pattern from test/idp.test.js — pick an available port up front via a tiny net.createServer helper, build baseUrl, pass it as idpIssuer, listen on that port. No more lying about the port. Tests: added two new ones to lock the new behavior in: - HEAD returns 200 with the same headers as GET, empty body - PUT/POST/PATCH/DELETE all return 405 with Allow header Total: 11 → 13 in module, 721 → 723 in full suite. --- src/server.js | 18 +++++++++ test/well-known-did-nostr.test.js | 66 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 2 files changed, 80 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/server.js b/src/server.js index e8a89f28..9a0ae29a 100644 --- a/src/server.js +++ b/src/server.js @@ -660,6 +660,24 @@ export function createServer(options = {}) { if (idpEnabled) { const wellKnownDidNostr = buildWellKnownDidNostrHandler(); fastify.get('/.well-known/did/nostr/:pubkeyAndExt', wellKnownDidNostr); + // HEAD shares the GET implementation so headers (Content-Type, + // Cache-Control, Last-Modified, etc.) match.

Non-IdP deployments paid the IdP/accounts module startup cost (transitively bcryptjs etc.) just by loading the NIP-98 verifier in src/auth/nostr.js — and at server startup via the static import in src/server.js. Both now lazy-load the well-known module: - src/auth/nostr.js: dynamic import inside the `if (request.idpEnabled)` branch - src/server.js: same logic moved into an async fastify.register(...) plugin so the dynamic import lives inside the IdP-only path without making createServer async Cost only paid on IdP deployments now. 2. 404/400 error responses omitted Nostr-Timestamp and used different cache policies than 200, with no documentation of the divergence. Aligned to a documented per-status policy: - 200 Cache-Control: max-age=3600 + Last-Modified (profile mtime) - 404 Cache-Control: max-age=60 (short TTL — newly added keys surface fast) - 400 Cache-Control: no-store (malformed; never cache) Nostr-Timestamp is now set on EVERY response (per the did:nostr spec recommendation that clients correlate the resolver clock with the answer). Last-Modified stays 200-only — there's no "underlying resource" mtime for an error response. 3. Test used TEST_DATA_DIR='./data' which is also JSS's default data root — running the suite would clobber a developer's local pod data, and could race with other suites that use the shared helper's `./data`. Switched to a dedicated './test-data-well-known-did-nostr' that's isolated to this suite and removed in after(). 4. Suite mutated process.env.DATA_ROOT but never restored it, leaking the test value into anything that ran after. Captures the original in `originalDataRoot` (including undefined → unset) and restores in after(). Mirrors the pattern in test/idp-change-password.test.js. 5. rebuildPubkeyIndex() called findById(accountId) without a try/catch. A single corrupt or unreadable account JSON would throw mid-loop and abort the entire index rebuild — turning this endpoint AND in-process NIP-98 local resolution into 500s for every user until the bad file was found. Now wrapped per-account: log + skip, keep going for the rest. Tests: existing 13 still pass; the 404/400 tests now also assert the new Nostr-Timestamp + Cache-Control headers.

Profiles with a relative subject (`"@id": "#me"`) hit a silent correctness gap in `collectAuthenticationIds()`: it re-derived the base URL from `profile['@id']`, which `stripHashIfAny()` couldn't turn into a usable absolute. Authentication entries stayed relative, the later `authIds.has(vmId)` check could never match even when the VM was authenticated, and the indexer would skip the account — looking like "no local mapping" rather than a bug. Fix: caller passes the already-validated absolute subject as the base. The validation in rebuildPubkeyIndex (line 122) absolutizes the subject against `account.webId`, so by the time we get here we have a known-absolute string. Pass that down instead of re-deriving. Added a regression test that writes a profile with a relative `@id` AND a relative `authentication` entry; if the base is honored, the VM is published and the test passes.

Root-level pods were never indexed. The indexer hard-coded `//profile/card.jsonld`, but single-user root pods store the profile at `/profile/card.jsonld` with no podName subdirectory — even though the seeded account record has `podName: 'me'`. So `dataRoot/me/profile/card.jsonld` would silently miss, and root-pod Nostr keys never made it into the index. Fix: derive the on-disk profile path from the account WebID's pathname instead of from `podName`. WebID pathname is `/profile/card.jsonld` for root and `/alice/profile/card.jsonld` for named — joining either with dataRoot yields the actual on-disk path. podName isn't even read anymore. 2. Nostr-Timestamp had inconsistent semantics across status codes: 200 used the profile mtime, 400/404 used the current time. That defeats the spec-recommended "correlate the resolver's clock with the answer" purpose. Aligned: Nostr-Timestamp is ALWAYS the resolver's clock at answer time. Last-Modified stays 200-only and continues to track the underlying profile mtime (which is what conditional-GET clients actually want). 3. PR description still referenced "array of resolver URLs" and "same-origin sameAs check" that didn't match the shipped code. Updated PR body via REST patch (`gh pr edit` hit a deprecated- Projects-classic GraphQL error). Now matches what's in the tree: single resolverUrl, same-origin DID-doc shortcut. 4. Test suite only covered named-pod layouts. Added a regression test that: - writes a profile at /profile/card.jsonld with a Nostr Multikey VM - synthesizes a matching account record with podName='me' (intentionally divergent from the on-disk layout) - injects it into _webid_index.json - hits the well-known endpoint and asserts the DID doc comes back with alsoKnownAs pointing at the root-pod WebID Test count: 14 → 15 in module, 724 → 725 in full suite. --- src/idp/well-known-did-nostr.js | 31 +++++++++++++++---- test/well-known-did-nostr.test.js | 50 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 75 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/idp/well-known-did-nostr.js b/src/idp/well-known-did-nostr.js index 443698b8..a144f06b 100644 --- a/src/idp/well-known-did-nostr.js +++ b/src/idp/well-known-did-nostr.js @@ -98,8 +98,23 @@ async function rebuildPubkeyIndex() { ); continue; } - if (!account?.podName || !account?.webId) continue; - const profilePath = path.join(dataRoot, account.podName, 'profile', 'card.jsonld'); + if (!account?.webId) continue; + // Derive the on-disk profile path from the WebID's pathname, + // not from `account.podName`.

The pass-6 commit derived the on-disk profile path from the account WebID's pathname: profilePath = path.join(dataRoot, webIdUrl.pathname); Copilot flagged that `webIdUrl.pathname` starts with `/`. The specific claim — "path.join discards dataRoot" — is wrong (Node's path.join keeps both segments, that's path.resolve's behavior). But the underlying concern is real: if an account record ever contained a webId whose pathname has `..` segments, the join + read would happily traverse outside DATA_ROOT. Operators are the only writers to account records, so this is defense-in-depth rather than a remote-attacker vector.

Same class of bug for the WebID-backlink fetch. Replaced the plain timeout wrapper with `fetchWithRedirectGuard`, mirroring the established pattern in src/auth/cid-doc-fetch.js so the four pieces of hardening live in one place per call site: - Manual redirect handling (redirect: 'manual'), capped at MAX_REDIRECTS = 5. Anything past that throws. - SSRF re-validation on EVERY hop — not just the initial URL. An allowed origin redirecting to 169.254.169.254 now fails the per-hop validateExternalUrl, not the initial one. - Cross-origin redirects refused. Open-redirect on the resolver or WebID origin can't bounce us into an arbitrary host. - Body-size cap (1 MB default) before reading. A resolver serving an unbounded stream can't pin RAM. Also: - The DID-doc same-origin shortcut now uses the FINAL post- redirect URL, not the initially-requested URL, so a same- origin redirect doesn't accidentally compare against the wrong origin. - 4xx/5xx responses no longer try to JSON-parse the body. - Both call sites swallow fetch failures into null/false the same way (uniform error semantics for the caller). New tests spin up a tiny http server that: - 302s to a different host → resolver returns null (cross- origin redirect refused) - 302s in a self-loop → resolver returns null after the cap (redirect-chain refusal) Test count: 12 → 14 in did-nostr.test.js, 726 → 728 in full suite. --- src/auth/did-nostr.js | 174 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------- test/did-nostr.test.js | 61 +++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 191 insertions(+), 44 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/auth/did-nostr.js b/src/auth/did-nostr.js index 7167706d..c00fe9c9 100644 --- a/src/auth/did-nostr.js +++ b/src/auth/did-nostr.js @@ -52,20 +52,101 @@ function sameOrigin(urlA, urlB) { } } +// Redirect/SSRF/size limits, mirroring src/auth/cid-doc-fetch.js so +// both the DID-doc resolver and the WebID-backlink verifier apply +// the same hardening: +// - manual redirect handling (5 hops max) +// - SSRF re-validation on EVERY hop (an allowed origin could 30x +// to a private IP / cloud metadata; default fetch redirect would +// bypass the initial validateExternalUrl check) +// - cross-origin redirects refused (open-redirect → arbitrary host) +// - response size cap before reading the body +const MAX_REDIRECTS = 5; +const DEFAULT_FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS = 5000; +const DEFAULT_MAX_BYTES = 1 * 1024 * 1024; // 1 MB — DID docs / WebID profiles are tiny + /** - * Fetch with a timeout via AbortController. + * Fetch with a timeout, manual redirect following, SSRF re-validation + * per hop, and a body-size cap.

The pass-8 SSRF/redirect tests passed for the wrong reason. `validateExternalUrl()` blocks loopback unconditionally when `blockPrivateIPs: true`, so every request to 127.0.0.1 was short-circuiting on the SSRF guard before the redirect handler ever fired. Cross-origin / hop-cap behavior was never asserted. Fix: exported `fetchWithRedirectGuard` with a `_validateUrl` test seam, and rewrote the tests to call it directly with a permissive stub. Now each guarantee is explicitly observable: - cross-origin redirect → "cross-origin redirect refused" - chain length > MAX_REDIRECTS → "too many redirects" - body > maxBytes → "response too large" - validator called once per hop (≥6 = 1 initial + 5 hops) - happy path returns the body 2. The pass-7 path-containment integration test passed for the wrong reason too — reading /etc/passwd fails JSON parsing and the indexer's per-account try/catch turns that into a 404 regardless of containment. Also, WHATWG URL parsing strips `..` segments, so the production code-path can't actually reach the containment branch via a URL-parsed webId. Fix: extracted the containment logic into `profilePathFromWebId(dataRoot, webId, accountId)` and added focused unit tests with raw inputs that bypass URL parsing. The check stays in production as defense-in-depth (any future caller that bypasses `new URL()` is still safe), and the test suite now actually validates each branch. 3. Failure caching regression: my pass-8 refactor moved the network/redirect/SSRF/parse failure paths from the outer try/catch (which set `failureTtl: true`, FAILURE_CACHE_TTL=1m) into a local catch (which forgot the flag, defaulting to CACHE_TTL=5m). A transient resolver hiccup would get pinned in cache for 5 minutes instead of 1. Added the flag back to every transient-failure cache write. "No linkage" stays as a 5-minute cache (it's a valid steady-state answer). 4. `findAccountByNostrPubkey()` could trigger a thundering herd on TTL expiry — every concurrent request started its own full disk scan. Now wraps `rebuildPubkeyIndex()` in an in-flight promise (`rebuildInFlight`) so only ONE rebuild runs at a time and every other caller awaits its result. Cleared on completion (success or failure) so the next TTL miss can start a fresh one. 5. `rebuildPubkeyIndex()` had no per-profile size cap. A user can write their own profile, and TTL-expired rebuilds are triggered by attacker-controlled NIP-98 traffic, so an adversarially-large profile could pin the event loop on JSON.parse during a rebuild loop. Added MAX_PROFILE_BYTES (64 KB — generous for a real profile, hard wall for an attack). Stat the file first, log + skip if oversized. 6. `src/auth/nostr.js` module docstring still described the resolution chain as 3 steps (CID VM → external resolver → fallback), missing the local-index step inserted in this PR. Updated to the 4-step chain: CID VM → local index (IdP-only) → external resolver → did:nostr fallback. Noted that the external path is now SSRF + redirect hardened. Tests: 12 → 16 in did-nostr (added 5 unit tests + dropped 2 flawed integration tests), 16 → 16 in well-known module test (removed the bogus integration containment test, replaced with 6 focused unit tests on the extracted helper). Full suite 728 → 736 pass. --- src/auth/did-nostr.js | 29 ++++++-- src/auth/nostr.js | 10 ++- src/idp/well-known-did-nostr.js | 105 ++++++++++++++++++--------- test/did-nostr.test.js | 106 +++++++++++++++++++-------- test/well-known-did-nostr.test.js | 116 ++++++++++++++++++++++-------- 5 files changed, 266 insertions(+), 100 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/auth/did-nostr.js b/src/auth/did-nostr.js index c00fe9c9..3515e191 100644 --- a/src/auth/did-nostr.js +++ b/src/auth/did-nostr.js @@ -72,18 +72,29 @@ const DEFAULT_MAX_BYTES = 1 * 1024 * 1024; // 1 MB — DID docs / WebID profiles * * Throws on validation, network, redirect, or size failures so the * resolver can swallow them uniformly into a null/false return. + * + * Exported for tests so the redirect + cross-origin + cap logic can + * be unit-tested directly with a stubbed validator (the production + * validator hard-blocks loopback, which is the only thing a unit + * test can spin up — without injection the redirect tests can't + * tell the SSRF guard from the redirect guard). + * + * @param {object} [opts] + * @param {Function} [opts._validateUrl] - Test seam.

The pass-3 405 handlers only covered the single-segment `/.well-known/did/nostr/:pubkeyAndExt` route. Fastify's `:pubkeyAndExt` parameter matches ONE path component — a request like `PUT /.well-known/did/nostr/a/b` falls through to the wildcard `PUT /*` handler. Because `/.well-known/*` intentionally bypasses the WAC preHandler, those wildcard write handlers would happily accept an unauthenticated write under this namespace. Storage-abuse vector reopened for multi-segment paths. Fix: register the 405 handler for the whole namespace — `/.well-known/did/nostr`, the trailing-slash form, the single-segment param route, AND `/.well-known/did/nostr/*`. Loop over all four to cover empty, exact, single-segment, and arbitrary-depth paths with the same method. 2. The DID-resolution cache was an unbounded `Map` keyed by attacker-controlled NIP-98 pubkeys. A flood of unique pubkeys would grow memory without limit since entries are only evicted on subsequent lookups (lazy expiry) — never on insertion. RAM exhaustion DoS for any pod with public NIP-98 traffic. Fix: bounded LRU with the same `setCacheEntry` pattern src/auth/cid-doc-fetch.js uses. Re-insert on set to bump to MRU; drop `cache.keys().next().value` (the oldest entry) while size > CACHE_MAX_ENTRIES (10k → bounded at a few MB worst case). Replaced every `cache.set` with `setCacheEntry`. Exposed `_cacheSizeForTests` and `_CACHE_MAX_FOR_TESTS` so the bound is observable from tests. Tests: - "blocks writes to multi-segment paths under the namespace" drives PUT/POST/PATCH/DELETE against the empty path, the trailing-slash form, two-segment, and four-segment paths, asserts 405 for all of them. - "evicts oldest entries past the LRU cap" populates the cache with several unique pubkeys via the failure-cache path and asserts `cacheSize <= CACHE_MAX_ENTRIES`. Test count: 16 → 18 in did-nostr (+ cache test, no removals), 17 → 18 in well-known module (+ multi-segment test). Full suite: 736 → 738 pass. --- src/auth/did-nostr.js | 46 +++++++++++++++++++++++++------ src/server.js | 22 ++++++++++++--- test/did-nostr.test.js | 45 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- test/well-known-did-nostr.test.js | 20 ++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 119 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/auth/did-nostr.js b/src/auth/did-nostr.js index 3515e191..acf14da7 100644 --- a/src/auth/did-nostr.js +++ b/src/auth/did-nostr.js @@ -12,10 +12,30 @@ import { validateExternalUrl } from '../utils/ssrf.js'; // Default DID resolver endpoint const DEFAULT_DID_RESOLVER = 'https://nostr.social/.well-known/did/nostr'; -// Cache for resolved DIDs (pubkey -> webId or null) +// Cache for resolved DIDs (pubkey -> { webId, timestamp, failureTtl? }). +// +// Bounded LRU: pubkeys come from external NIP-98 events, so an +// attacker can flood the resolver with unique pubkeys and grow the +// cache without limit if it's an unbounded Map.

The pass-10 405 method blocks were registered inside the `if (idpEnabled)` branch, which left non-IdP deployments wide open: /.well-known/* unconditionally bypasses WAC, so the wildcard write handlers (PUT/POST/PATCH/DELETE /*) would still accept unauthenticated writes under /.well-known/did/nostr/... and create files on disk on a non-IdP pod. Anyone could plant a doc. Fix: register the 405 routes UNCONDITIONALLY, before the idpEnabled branch. The GET/HEAD generation stays IdP-only (it actually reads the IdP accounts index — non-IdP pods have nothing to serve), but the writes are blocked regardless of whether GET succeeds. 2. `findAccountByNostrPubkey()` called `findById(entry.accountId)` without a try/catch — only the rebuild loop had per-account error handling. A corrupt account JSON could turn DID-doc requests AND every in-process `resolveDidNostrLocally` call from src/auth/nostr.js into 500s. Now wrapped: log once, return a cache miss, keep going for everyone else. 3. The JWK pubkey extraction in `extractNostrPubkeysFromProfile` ignored the y-coordinate. The verifier in src/auth/nostr.js (jwkMatchesNostrPubkey) requires y to match the BIP-340 canonical (even-y) point for the declared x — every secp256k1 x has TWO valid points, and accepting either lets an attacker plant a JWK at someone else's WebID. The indexer was happily indexing keys the verifier would later reject, surfacing as 401s on advertised pubkeys ("indexed but unauthenticated"). Fix: shared `pubkeyFromValidatedJwk()` helper in nostr-keys.js that mirrors the verifier's check (decompress 0x02||x, compare declared y against the canonical y). Used by the indexer. Indexing and verification now agree. 4. Cache hits in resolveDidNostrToWebId returned `cached.webId` without re-inserting into the Map — Map preserves insertion order, so a frequently-hit entry could still be evicted as "oldest" once the cache reached the cap. Defeats the LRU intent. Fix: re-insert via `setCacheEntry(cacheKey, cached)` on hit so hits bump entries to MRU. Tests added: - "returns 405 for PUT/POST/PATCH/DELETE under the namespace" in a non-IdP server. Drives the namespace empty path, single, and two-segment paths × all four write methods. - "finds JsonWebKey entries when y matches the BIP-340 canonical point" — happy path with a derived correct y. - "rejects JsonWebKey entries with mismatched y" — same x, bogus y, asserts the indexer drops it. - "rejects JsonWebKey entries missing y" — y absent, asserts rejection (was previously accepted). - The previous "x-coord only" test was wrong (used `y: 'irrelevant'`) — replaced with the canonical-y variant. Test count: 18 → 25 in module test (+ 3 new + 1 reshape - 1 dropped), 738 → 741 in full suite. --- src/auth/did-nostr.js | 4 ++ src/auth/nostr-keys.js | 61 +++++++++++++++++++--- src/idp/well-known-did-nostr.js | 15 +++++- src/server.js | 51 +++++++++---------- test/well-known-did-nostr.test.js | 85 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 5 files changed, 177 insertions(+), 39 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/auth/did-nostr.js b/src/auth/did-nostr.js index acf14da7..518f7293 100644 --- a/src/auth/did-nostr.js +++ b/src/auth/did-nostr.js @@ -205,6 +205,10 @@ export async function resolveDidNostrToWebId(pubkey, resolverUrl = DEFAULT_DID_R if (cached) { const ttl = cached.failureTtl ?

The same-origin shortcut in resolveDidNostrToWebId returned a WebID without verifying the WebID profile actually claimed the pubkey. The intuition behind the shortcut — "the doc and the WebID are at the same origin, so the doc is authoritative" — breaks on multi-tenant origins. On a pod hosting multiple users, Mallory who controls `/.well-known/did/nostr/.json` can publish a DID doc with `alsoKnownAs` pointing at Alice's WebID on the same host, and the same-origin check would accept it. Mallory now resolves as Alice. Also flagged: even single-tenant pods can have writable /.well-known/ misconfigurations that produce the same gap. Fix: - Drop the same-origin shortcut entirely. Always run verifyWebIdBacklink. - Extend verifyWebIdBacklink to accept TWO linkage shapes: (1) CID v1 — a `verificationMethod` containing this Nostr pubkey AND referenced from `authentication`. Mirrors the resource-side verifier (LWS10-CID) and what JSS profiles ship. (2) owl:sameAs / schema:sameAs to did:nostr: — the original linkage shape, kept for backward compat. Either is sufficient. CID-VM is checked first so JSS profiles (which use verificationMethod, not sameAs) succeed without the shortcut. - Inside checkCidVmBacklink, use the same `extractNostrPubkeysFromProfile` the indexer uses, so the JWK y-validation from pass-11 applies here too. JSON-LD profiles with relative subjects ('@id': '#me') are handled by absolutizing both `vm.id` and authentication entries against the profile subject. - Removed the now-unused `sameOrigin` helper and `foundAtUrl` threading that fed into it. Tests: three unit tests on `_checkCidVmBacklinkForTests` (exposed via test seam): - happy: VM matches pubkey AND is in authentication → true - attack: pubkey not in profile (multi-tenant scenario) → false - revoked: VM in verificationMethod but NOT in authentication → false (matches the auth-membership rule the indexer enforces) Test count: 18 → 21 in did-nostr, 741 → 744 in full suite. --- src/auth/did-nostr.js | 110 ++++++++++++++++++++++++----------- test/did-nostr.test.js | 128 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 204 insertions(+), 34 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/auth/did-nostr.js b/src/auth/did-nostr.js index 518f7293..f6aedc86 100644 --- a/src/auth/did-nostr.js +++ b/src/auth/did-nostr.js @@ -8,6 +8,7 @@ */ import { validateExternalUrl } from '../utils/ssrf.js'; +import { extractNostrPubkeysFromProfile } from './nostr-keys.js'; // Default DID resolver endpoint const DEFAULT_DID_RESOLVER = 'https://nostr.social/.well-known/did/nostr'; @@ -58,20 +59,6 @@ function rateLimitedError(key, message) { errorLogTracker.set(key, { count: 0, lastLogged: now }); } -/** - * Are two URLs same-origin?

Cache key was `pubkey.toLowerCase()` and ignored `resolverUrl`. Two resolvers can legitimately disagree about the same pubkey — operator-run resolvers can each have their own view, alsoKnownAs values may differ, one might have a doc while another doesn't. With pubkey-only keying: - a `null` cached after a miss against resolver A would suppress a real result against resolver B for 5 minutes - a webId cached from one resolver could be returned for a query against a totally different resolver Cross-resolver cache poisoning either way. Fix: cache key is now `${resolverUrl}::${pubkey.toLowerCase()}`. All cache.get / cache.delete / setCacheEntry call sites already reference the single `cacheKey` variable, so the change is localized. Regression test: drives two failing lookups for the SAME pubkey against TWO different resolver URLs and asserts the cache size grows by 2 (not 1) — proving the entries are keyed independently. 2. PR description still mentioned the same-origin shortcut that pass-12 removed. Updated PR body via REST patch to describe the always-verify behavior: resolveDidNostrToWebId always runs the backlink check, which accepts CID-VM linkage (verificationMethod referenced from authentication) OR the legacy owl:sameAs shape.

OPTIONS still misadvertised methods. The wildcard `OPTIONS /*` handler returned `Allow: GET, HEAD, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, OPTIONS, POST` for every URL — including `/.well-known/did/nostr/*`, where writes are explicitly 405'd. CORS preflights and any client doing capability discovery would believe the namespace accepts writes, then get a 405 on the actual call. Misleading and inconsistent. Fix: register an explicit OPTIONS handler for the same patterns as the 405s (empty path, trailing-slash form, single-segment param, and `/*` subtree). Returns 204 with `Allow: GET, HEAD, OPTIONS` — matches the method blocks. Regression test asserts `Allow` is consistent across `''`, `/`, `/x`, and `/a/b` and explicitly checks that PUT/POST/DELETE/PATCH are NOT advertised. 2 + 3. Two unit-test names didn't match what they asserted — "refuses an unparseable-then-resolved-outside path" actually verified that the path stays INSIDE dataRoot, and "rejects a path that resolves outside" actually verified the inverse invariant (every URL-parseable webId resolves inside). The mismatch was a holdover from when I expected URL parsing NOT to normalize `..` segments — once I confirmed it does, the assertions were correct but the names were stale. Renamed to: - "keeps a relative dataRoot + plausible webId inside the absolute dataRoot" (was: "refuses an unparseable-then- resolved-outside path (defense-in-depth)") - "every URL-parseable webId with `..` segments still resolves inside dataRoot" (was: "rejects a path that resolves outside an absolute dataRoot") Comments updated to match.

The alsoKnownAs filter only accepted `https://` URLs, despite the comment saying "HTTP(S)". In non-production deployments (test pods, dev fixtures, JSS-on-localhost) the SSRF guard permits http but the resolver pre-filtered them out before any fetch. Effect: http WebIDs were never resolvable even when the SSRF policy would have allowed them. Fix: accept both http and https. The SSRF layer enforces `requireHttps: NODE_ENV === 'production'`, so http is still refused in prod — just no longer at the wrong layer. 2. checkCidVmBacklink built the URL base for absolutizing relative IDs from `profile['@id']` only. If the profile uses a relative subject (e.g. `"@id": "#me"`) AND has absolute VM IDs (a common mixed shape), `base` was empty and the authentication-membership check fell through to raw-string comparison — silently false-negative. Fix: caller now passes the FETCHED document URL down as a secondary base. Preference order: absolute @id → docUrl → "". `verifyWebIdBacklink` plumbs `backlinkRes.url` through (the final post-redirect URL, not the initial WebID). 3. checkCidVmBacklink didn't validate the VM's `controller` against the profile's expected controller set, even though the docstring claimed it mirrored the resource-side verifier. A profile could declare a VM whose controller pointed at a completely different origin and CID-VM backlink would still accept it — disagreeing with the resource-side LWS10-CID verifier that DOES check this. Fix: collect the profile-level `controller` (with subject fallback for CID v1 self-control) and require the VM's controller to be in that set. If the VM has NO explicit controller, accept only when the VM ID's origin matches the subject's origin (so an attacker can't plant a controller-less VM at a fragment of someone else's profile). Tests added: - "handles relative @id when docUrl is supplied" — relative subject + absolute VM IDs + docUrl base → match. - "rejects when VM controller is not in expected set" — VM declared with a foreign-origin controller → no match (matches the resource-side verifier).

Pubkey input validation was length-only. Since the pubkey comes off an attacker-controlled NIP-98 event and is interpolated into both the resolver URL path (`/.json`) and the cache key, characters like `/` would turn the resolution into an arbitrary-path fetch on the resolver origin and create misleading cache entries. e.g. pubkey = `<31 chars>/<32 chars>` of total length 64 would request `/<31 chars>/<32 chars>.json` — a different path entirely. Fix: require `/^[0-9a-f]{64}$/i.test(pubkey)`. Also normalize via toLowerCase once up front so cache and URL are case-stable. Regression test: drives a 64-char pubkey containing `/` against an unreachable resolver and asserts a clean null (no request, no cache entry). Plus too-short, too-long, non-string variants. 2. verifyWebIdBacklink returned `false` uniformly for every non-success case — both transient backlink-fetch failures (network / SSRF refusal / redirect cap / timeout / 5xx) AND the steady-state "fetched OK but no linkage" answer. The caller cached both as steady-state nulls (5-minute CACHE_TTL) instead of failures (1-minute FAILURE_CACHE_TTL). A WebID host having a 30-second blip pinned a null answer for 5 minutes. Fix: tri-state semantics for verifyWebIdBacklink. - `true` — linkage found - `false` — fetched OK, no linkage (verified absence) - throws TransientBacklinkError — fetch failed transiently Caller catches the new error and caches with `failureTtl: true`. 5xx now also classifies as transient (it's "try again", not "no"). 4xx stays as verified absence. Removed the outer try/catch's swallow-all-into-false pattern; transient errors now surface to the caller for the right TTL classification.

That made backlink looser than the resource-side LWS10-CID verifier (in src/auth/nostr.js) and the well-known indexer (in src/idp/well-known-did-nostr.js), neither of which accepts a controller-less VM. Result: did:nostr resolution could approve a binding the resource-side verifier would later reject — a key would "work" via DID resolution but 401 on direct CID verification, surfacing as inconsistent binding rules across the stack. Fix: drop the origin-fallback branch. CID v1 is now uniformly strict — VM MUST declare an explicit `controller` AND that controller must intersect the profile's expected controller set. The resource-side verifier already enforced this; backlink now matches. Test added: a profile with a controller-less VM (everything else CID-correct) → backlink returns false. Documents the strictness alignment so future regressions are caught. 2. Profile read/parse failures in rebuildPubkeyIndex were silently swallowed (`catch { continue; }`). When a local account's profile is unreadable or malformed JSON, the well-known endpoint returns 404 with zero log output — "why isn't my pubkey publishing?" was undebuggable without grepping silence. Fix: rate-limited per-account log on stat/read/parse failures. First occurrence per account per hour fires a `console.error` with accountId + profilePath + error code/ message. Tracker is bounded (10k entries) so it can't grow without limit. Cleared by `_resetIndexForTests`. Test added: synthesize an account with a malformed JSON profile, hit the well-known endpoint, capture console.error, assert the diagnostic mentions both the accountId and the profile path.

Stale type comment on `pubkeyIndex`. The Map values are `{ accountId, mtimeMs }` (since pass-2), not bare accountIds. Updated to reflect the current shape (and the new addition below). 2. `findAccountByNostrPubkey()` re-read the account JSON from disk on EVERY lookup via `findById(accountId)`. That's the NIP-98 auth hot path (every signed request via `resolveDidNostrLocally`) AND every DID-doc request. The webId we need is already known at index-build time — there's no reason to re-fetch it per request. Fix: store `webId` directly on the index entry (now `{ accountId, webId, mtimeMs }`). The lookup hot path now answers from RAM with zero filesystem I/O. The rebuild loop still uses `findById` (it's the only place that needs the full account record), and that's already wrapped in per-account try/catch so a corrupt file can't break the rebuild. 3. `verifyWebIdBacklink()` only treated 5xx as transient. Two more 4xx codes are conventionally transient and should match: - 408 Request Timeout — server timed itself out, retry - 429 Too Many Requests — rate-limited, definitely retry Pre-fix, both got pinned as "verified absence" with the full 5-minute CACHE_TTL. Now classified as transient and re-tried after the 1-minute FAILURE_CACHE_TTL. Other 4xx (404, 410, etc.) stay as verified absence — the host answered authoritatively that the resource doesn't exist; caching that for the steady-state TTL is correct. No new tests — the existing transient-vs-absence tests cover the classification logic; 408/429 are the same shape as 5xx. The webId-on-index change is exercised by every existing well-known integration test (DID-doc generation reads `account.webId` from the lookup result). --- src/auth/did-nostr.js | 18 ++++++++++++--- src/idp/well-known-did-nostr.js | 40 ++++++++++++++++----------------- 2 files changed, 34 insertions(+), 24 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/auth/did-nostr.js b/src/auth/did-nostr.js index caf4e553..3eaef70b 100644 --- a/src/auth/did-nostr.js +++ b/src/auth/did-nostr.js @@ -349,12 +349,24 @@ async function verifyWebIdBacklink(webId, pubkey) { // Network/SSRF/redirect/size/timeout — transient. throw new TransientBacklinkError(`fetch failed: ${err.message}`); } - if (backlinkRes.status >= 500 && backlinkRes.status < 600) { - // Server error — transient (5xx is "try again", not "no"). + // Status classification: + // - 5xx: transient ("try again later") + // - 408 (request timeout) and 429 (too many requests): also + // transient — the host couldn't / wouldn't answer right now, + // not "the linkage is permanently absent" + // - other 4xx (404, 410, etc.): verified absence — the host + // answered authoritatively that this resource doesn't exist + // or is gone, cache as steady-state + // - 3xx (would only reach here as redirect that resolved): + // also verified absence (no redirect-to-content arrived) + if ( + (backlinkRes.status >= 500 && backlinkRes.status < 600) || + backlinkRes.status === 408 || + backlinkRes.status === 429 + ) { throw new TransientBacklinkError(`HTTP ${backlinkRes.status}`); } if (backlinkRes.status < 200 || backlinkRes.status >= 300) { - // Client error or redirect that didn't resolve — verified absence. return false; } const contentType = (backlinkRes.headers.get('content-type') || ''); diff --git a/src/idp/well-known-did-nostr.js b/src/idp/well-known-did-nostr.js index 0dea4c00..9d235669 100644 --- a/src/idp/well-known-did-nostr.js +++ b/src/idp/well-known-did-nostr.js @@ -25,10 +25,17 @@ import fs from 'fs-extra'; import { findById } from './accounts.js'; import { extractNostrPubkeysFromProfile } from '../auth/nostr-keys.js'; -// In-memory pubkey → accountId index.

The OPTIONS handler for /.well-known/did/nostr/* returned a bare 204 with only `Allow: GET, HEAD, OPTIONS`. CORS preflights from a browser at a different origin would refuse to follow up because no Access-Control-* headers were set — the read-only namespace was effectively non-CORS-able. Fix: call getCorsHeaders(request.headers.origin) for the full CORS header set, then override `Access-Control-Allow-Methods` with the restricted GET/HEAD/OPTIONS list. ACAO/ACAH/ACAC/ max-age all match what the rest of the server returns. Test now also asserts: - access-control-allow-methods has GET, HEAD, OPTIONS - access-control-allow-methods does NOT have PUT (or any write method) - access-control-allow-origin and -headers are present Driven with `Origin: https://other.example` so the cross-origin behavior is explicit. 2. The non-IdP describe block called `createServer` (which mutates process.env.DATA_ROOT) but didn't save/restore the original value in after(). Subsequent tests in the same process saw the test's DATA_ROOT — exactly the kind of cross-suite leakage that surfaced in the full-suite run as a flaky failure in nostr-cid-vm.test.js (which passed in isolation). Fix: capture `originalDataRoot` at suite scope, restore (or delete if originally undefined) in after(). Mirrors the existing pattern in the first describe block. 3. The "evicts oldest entries past the LRU cap" test had a stale "Skip this on CI where it'd be too slow" comment that didn't match the test (the test isn't skipped and only adds 5 entries). Renamed to "cache stays at-or-under CACHE_MAX_ENTRIES after a burst of misses" and trimmed the comment to match what's actually asserted. Test count: same 752 (the OPTIONS test was reshaped, not duplicated). --- src/server.js | 16 ++++++++++++---- test/did-nostr.test.js | 20 ++++++-------------- test/well-known-did-nostr.test.js | 26 +++++++++++++++++++++++--- 3 files changed, 41 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/server.js b/src/server.js index 9431f246..f9038ffe 100644 --- a/src/server.js +++ b/src/server.js @@ -677,10 +677,18 @@ export function createServer(options = {}) { // an explicit handler the request falls through to the wildcard // `OPTIONS /*` which advertises GET, HEAD, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, // POST — wrong for this namespace and confusing to CORS - // preflights. - const optionsForReadOnlyNamespace = async (request, reply) => reply.code(204) - .header('Allow', 'GET, HEAD, OPTIONS') - .send(); + // preflights.
