fix(security): strip authToken cookie before forwarding to project code - #4368
Conversation
The hosted proxy consumed the authToken cookie to resolve the caller's identity but then forwarded the Cookie header verbatim to the deployed project. Any tenant-controlled page, API route, or middleware could read the raw Veryfront credential of whoever visited a protected environment, including the deployer's session JWT sent by the CLI's post-deploy readiness probe (waitForEnvironmentReady). createProxyContextHeaders now removes every authToken pair from the Cookie header (dropping the header when nothing remains) before building the downstream request. The proxy already forwards the resolved identity via x-token, and application cookies pass through unchanged. All downstream paths share this helper (HTTP forward, split forward, WebSocket bridge), so each is covered. Codex finding 67637779a99c8191877f33f62588ec2b (high).

Findings
-
[P2]
src/proxy/handler.ts:1379-1385strips everyauthTokencookie for every non-local project, including custom domains, whilesrc/proxy/proxy-token-resolution.ts:96-107has no way to distinguish a platform credential from an application’s same-named session cookie. Any hosted application usingauthTokenfor its own authentication will silently lose that cookie. The new local-only exemption (src/proxy/token-priority.test.ts:381-410) demonstrates this collision is real, but hosted deployments receive no equivalent compatibility path, migration guidance, or reserved-cookie documentation. Use a distinguishable platform credential namespace or document and deliberately manage the breaking reservation. -
[P3] The WebSocket coverage is now misleading and does not prove the security boundary.
src/proxy/websocket-client.test.ts:175-194sendsauthToken=browser-sessionand says cookies survive the bridge, but the fixture records no cookie (src/proxy/websocket-client.test.ts:35-40) and assertions at:219-221never inspect it. Although the bridge uses the shared helper (src/proxy/websocket-bridge.ts:69), add an upstream assertion thatauthTokenis absent while an unrelated application cookie remains present.

Summary
The hosted proxy consumes the
authTokencookie (viaextractUserTokeninsrc/proxy/proxy-token-resolution.ts) to resolve the caller's Veryfront identity, butcreateProxyContextHeadersthen forwarded the Cookie header verbatim to the deployed project — it only removed internalx-*proxy headers,host, and hop-by-hop fields. Any tenant-controlled page, API route, or middleware in a protected environment could therefore read the raw Veryfront credential of anyone who visited it. This includes the deployer's account session JWT: the CLI's post-deploy readiness probe (waitForEnvironmentReadyincli/shared/deployment/deploy-project.ts) sendsCookie: authToken=<token>to a normal app route, and forveryfront loginsession credentials no environment-scoped token exchange applies (only opaque API keys were exchanged, per #3959/#3966). A malicious project collaborator or compromised dependency could exfiltrate the deployer's live full-account credential during every deploy — a real privilege escalation across the platform/tenant boundary.Finding
67637779a99c8191877f33f62588ec2b— severity: highFix
createProxyContextHeaders(src/proxy/handler.ts) now strips everyauthTokenpair from the Cookie header before building the downstream request, dropping the header entirely when no other cookies remain. A newstripUserTokenCookiehelper lives next toextractUserTokenso consumption and redaction stay in one place. The proxy already forwards the resolved identity viax-token, so nothing downstream loses information, and application cookies pass through unchanged. All downstream forwarding paths (HTTP forward, split forward, WebSocket bridge) sharecreateProxyContextHeaders, so each is covered. The only otherauthTokencookie consumer (src/agent/service/auth.ts) runs as a standalone service on its own port and also acceptsAuthorization: Bearer, so it is unaffected.Defense-in-depth follow-up (not in this PR): extend the CLI's
resolveEnvironmentAccessexchange to also cover session JWTs so the readiness probe only ever presents a short-lived environment-bound token; requires control-plane support for exchanging session credentials.Test evidence
