Issue #152 asks for a manual introspection endpoint because some IdPs
omit introspection_endpoint from discovery. Analysis found the two
documented overrides revocationURL and oidcEndSessionURL were dead
code: the 1b49e13 rebuild dropped their constructor wiring.
Add the IntrospectionURL config field and wire all three overrides.
The overrides apply inside updateMetadataEndpoints, so they survive
every metadata refresh. A manual value always wins over discovery.
The constructor also seeds the live fields, so a failed discovery
does not lose operator configuration.
Manual values skip the poisoned-discovery defences on purpose. They
sit at the same trust tier as providerURL and isValidSecureURL gates
them at config time.
Add issue152_regression_test.go: 8 tests pin precedence, refresh
survival, cold-start seeding, end-to-end introspection over HTTP,
and the validation contract.
Issue #154: a providerURL that points at a localhost IdP caused an
infinite redirect loop. validateHost rejected loopback hosts
unconditionally, so buildAuthURL returned an empty string.
Derive allowLoopbackHosts from a loopback providerURL at construction
time. Discovery validation already used this derivation, so the two
validation layers now agree. This adds no new config surface.
Cloud metadata hosts (169.254.169.254, metadata.google.internal),
link-local, and unspecified addresses stay blocked unconditionally.
Non-loopback providers keep identical behaviour.
Add issue154_regression_test.go: 8 tests pin the new allowance, the
default block, and the security envelope.
The plugin catalog analyzer failed v1.0.28 with "invalid handler
type: <nil>" (#151). Two defects combined.
The analyzer feeds .traefik.yml testData to New() verbatim. The header
values used quadruple braces on a false premise: no configuration path
collapses them. Template validation rejected them, so New() failed. The
testData now carries plain, valid templates.
New() also returned failures through a multi-value tail call
(return NewWithContext(...)). Yaegi v0.16.1 zeroes both results of that
statement on the error path. The analyzer therefore saw (nil, nil) and
reported the opaque handler-type message instead of the real validation
error. New() now splits the return explicitly. Construction failures
surface as real error messages under yaegi and in Traefik logs.
The regression tests pin both fixes. README and CONFIGURATION.md now
give correct escaping guidance: plain double braces everywhere; file
provider users escape with a raw string. Quadruple braces do not work
anywhere.
Fixes#151.
* fix(settings): allow documented range + static header templates (#149)
Upgrading past the release where NewWithContext began calling
config.Validate() (546ceb9) broke `headers` configs that worked in 0.8.25:
New() returned a nil handler and Traefik logged the opaque "invalid handler
type: <nil>". Two header-validation checks were stricter than the documented,
legitimate usage:
- validateTemplateSecure rejected the documented multi-valued-claim join
"{{range $i,$e := .Claims.groups}}...{{end}}" as a dangerous {{range}},
even though README/CONFIGURATION show exactly that for groups/roles.
- Config.Validate required every header value to contain {{ }}, rejecting
static/literal values such as a shared proxy secret.
Fixes:
- Allow static/literal header values (reject only CR/LF/NUL header-injection
chars); flag unbalanced {{ }} explicitly.
- Allow {{range}} only when its clause targets .Claims.<field>; a range over
the bare .Claims map stays blocked and a decoy {{.Claims.x}} elsewhere no
longer launders it. Generalize the claims whitelist scan to .Claims. so a
claim reached via range/with/default is whitelisted identically to a direct
{{.Claims.x}} reference.
- normalizeTemplateDelimiters now collapses ALL whitespace inside {{ }}
(newline/CR/FF too), closing a newline-obfuscation bypass ({{\nrange,
{{\nindex) found in review.
- Log the concrete validation reason at construction so operators see WHY the
middleware failed to build instead of only "invalid handler type: <nil>".
Adds issue149_regression_test.go: pins the exact issue config, the documented
groups template rendering "admin,users" past the runtime sanitizer, static and
delimiter edge cases, and the security boundary (whole-Claims-map dump via
range, non-whitelisted claims, call/define/template/printf, and
newline-obfuscated actions all rejected).
* fix(settings): AST-based header template validation, close whitelist bypasses
Follow-up hardening to the #149 work. An adversarial review showed the
substring-based validateTemplateSecure could not actually bound what a header
template reads: get/index with arbitrary keys, {{with .Claims}} field access,
and a whitelisted-decoy + bare {{.}}/{{$}}/{{.Claims}} render all leaked the
whole root (every raw token) or the whole Claims map past validation. The core
problem is structural — the meaning of "." depends on scope, which substrings
cannot see.
Replace the substring validator with an AST walk (text/template/parse):
- Parse with only get/default known; every other function (printf, call, index,
js, urlquery, ...) then fails to parse and is rejected — no blocklist.
- Reject {{define}}/{{block}} (they produce extra trees).
- Walk the tree tracking whether "." is the root. Permit ONLY: literal text;
the four root token fields (AccessToken, IdToken, IDToken, RefreshToken);
whitelisted .Claims.<field>; range/with over a whitelisted .Claims.<field>
("." inside the body is the already-whitelisted element); get on .Claims with
a whitelisted literal key; default over safe values; {{if}} control flow and
$-scoped range/with/decl variables. Everything else — bare {{.}} / {{$}}
(whole-root dump), bare {{.Claims}} (whole-map dump), non-whitelisted claims,
$.Claims root reach — is rejected.
Also closes the get/default exfil and the with-over-bare-map vectors, and fixes
ID-token forwarding: templateData now carries both IDToken and IdToken and the
validator accepts {{.IdToken}} (documented) and {{.IDToken}}; previously the
documented spelling rendered empty and the working one was rejected.
Runtime `get` additionally enforces the claims whitelist on its key, and
safeClaimsFields is promoted to a package-level single source of truth shared by
the validator and the get helper. The header template funcMap is extracted to
headerTemplateFuncMap() so tests exercise the exact production map. Removes the
now-dead normalizeTemplateDelimiters/regex (the parser handles whitespace).
Extends issue149_regression_test.go: renders through the real funcMap to prove
get cannot leak; asserts the whole-root/whole-map/decoy/var-launder/index
vectors are rejected while every documented pattern (groups/roles join,
with .Claims.email, get .Claims "internal_role", default, both IdToken
spellings) still validates and renders.
* feat(settings): allowedClaims to extend the header-template claim whitelist
The AST validator and the runtime `get` only permit a fixed set of claim fields
in header value templates. Providers issue custom claims (e.g. employee_id) that
aren't built in, and there was no supported way to forward them — the previous
`get` escape hatch was closed by the security hardening.
Add `allowedClaims []string` to Config. Listed names extend the effective
whitelist for BOTH static validation and the runtime `get` (a single
claimsWhitelist() = built-in safeClaimsFields + AllowedClaims, so the two never
drift). Built-in claims need not be listed; unlisted claims stay rejected.
allowedClaims:
- employee_id
headers:
- name: X-Employee-Id
value: "{{`{{.Claims.employee_id}}`}}"
Implementation: the whitelist is threaded through the validator (now a small
templateValidator struct carrying the allowed set) and headerTemplateFuncMap
instead of the package global, so it is per-config with no shared mutable state.
Docs: README and docs/CONFIGURATION document the whitelist, the validation
behaviour, and allowedClaims (grounded in safeClaimsFields).
Tests: TestIssue149_AllowedClaimsExtendsWhitelist pins that a custom claim is
rejected by default and validates + renders once listed, via both direct access
and get, while an unlisted claim stays rejected. A regression assertion that
coupled to the old validator's "dangerous" wording now checks the stable
"failed security validation" wrapper (the templates are still rejected).
validateTemplateSecure matched safe functions with literal strings.Contains
("{{get "), so a space after {{ ("{{ get") failed the whitelist and
Config.Validate() rejected the config, surfacing as Traefik's opaque
"invalid handler type: <nil>". Go's text/template treats {{ get and {{get
identically, so the validator was stricter than the engine.
Normalize inner-delimiter whitespace before matching. This also closes a
security gap where a leading space let dangerous patterns ("{{ range",
"{{ call") evade detection.
Adds unit + regression coverage.
* fix(security): encrypt session cookies + fail closed on invalid config
Batch 1 of security audit remediation (ranks 1, 2, 6).
- session.go: derive independent HMAC + AES-256 keys via stdlib HKDF-SHA256
and build the gorilla cookie store with both, so session cookies are now
encrypted, not merely signed. The single-key store previously left OIDC
access/refresh/ID tokens recoverable from raw cookie bytes. Cookie format
changes, so existing sessions are invalidated on deploy (one-time re-login).
- main.go: call config.Validate() at construction and error out on failure,
instead of silently substituting a public hardcoded encryption key for
empty/short keys (which allowed session forgery). The yaegi analyzer
passes via .traefik.yml testData.
- settings.go: isValidSecureURL permits plaintext HTTP for loopback hosts
only (RFC 8252); remote providers must still use HTTPS.
- tests: complete configs that did not satisfy Validate(); add regression
tests in security_audit_fixes_test.go.
Configs below documented minimums (rateLimit < 10, key < 32 chars) are now
rejected at startup (fail closed).
* fix(security): validate discovered OIDC endpoints + pin introspection host
Batch 2 of security audit remediation (ranks 3, 4).
- url_helpers.go: add validateDiscoveredEndpoint, an SSRF screen for endpoints
taken from the provider discovery document (jwks_uri, token, authorization,
revocation, end_session, introspection, registration). Blocks link-local
(cloud metadata 169.254.169.254), multicast, unspecified and private
addresses (unless allowPrivateIPAddresses); blocks loopback unless the
configured providerURL is itself loopback (dev/test). Cross-domain JWKS
hosts (e.g. Google) stay allowed. Add sameHost helper.
- main.go: updateMetadataEndpoints screens every discovered endpoint and
blanks any that fail (fail closed downstream). The introspection endpoint
carries the client secret via HTTP Basic, so it is additionally pinned to
the providerURL host to stop a poisoned discovery document exfiltrating the
secret to an attacker-controlled host.
- tests: regression tests for the SSRF guard and the host pin.
* fix(security): close open redirects + anchor excluded-URL matching
Batch 3 of security audit remediation (ranks 5, 14, 15).
- auth_flow.go: run the stored incoming path through normalizeLogoutPath
before using it as the post-login redirect, so //evil.com and /\evil.com
payloads become host-relative (open-redirect, rank 5).
- url_helpers.go: excluded-URL matching is anchored at a natural boundary
(exact, sub-path "/", or file extension "."), so excluding "/public" no
longer also bypasses auth on "/publicsecret"; "/favicon" still matches
"/favicon.ico" (rank 14).
- internal/utils: X-Forwarded-Host is sanitized (first value only; reject
CRLF/whitespace/multi-value) before building redirect URLs (rank 15).
- helpers.go: the logout redirect used when there is no provider end-session
endpoint is host-relative, never an absolute URL derived from the
client-controllable request host (logout open-redirect, rank 15).
- tests: update two logout cases that asserted the old absolute redirect;
add regression tests.
* fix(security): reject unverified Azure tokens; fix transport TLS reuse
Batch 4 of security audit remediation (ranks 7, 11).
- token_validation_rs.go: an Azure nonce-bearing access token that cannot be
cryptographically verified no longer returns "authenticated" when there is
no ID token to corroborate it; it refreshes (if possible) or forces
re-authentication instead of failing open (rank 7).
- http_client_pool.go: the at-limit transport-reuse path now takes the write
lock before mutating refCount (fixes a data race) and only reuses a
transport whose TLS settings (CA pool + InsecureSkipVerify) match the
caller's, never one with a different trust store; if none matches it returns
nil so the caller falls back to a verifying default transport (rank 11).
- tests: add a transport-pool TLS-isolation regression test.
* fix(security): stop logging templated header values (token leak)
Batch 5 of security audit remediation (rank 16).
middleware.go: templated downstream headers commonly carry the access token
(e.g. "Authorization: Bearer {{.AccessToken}}"). The debug log line printed
the full header value, leaking credentials into logs. Log the header name and
byte length instead.
* fix(security): cache-key collision, cache-config divergence, fleet cleanup
Batch 6 of security audit remediation (ranks 9, 10, 12).
- token_manager.go: detectTokenType keys its cache on a SHA-256 hash of the
full token instead of the first 32 chars (which are only the base64url JWT
header). Distinct tokens sharing alg+kid no longer collide and get
mis-classified (rank 10).
- cache_manager.go: the process-global cache manager is initialized once and
shared across plugin instances; it now logs a loud warning when a later
instance requests a different explicit Redis backend that is silently
ignored, surfacing the cross-instance state-isolation hazard (rank 9).
- singleton_resources.go / main.go / utilities.go: track a process-global live
instance count; the shared singleton-token-cleanup task is stopped only when
the LAST instance shuts down, so one instance's Close() (e.g. a config reload)
no longer kills cleanup for surviving instances (rank 12).
- tests: update TestDetectTokenTypeCaching for the new key; add regression tests.
* fix(security): bound introspection cache + cookie lifetime to config
Batch 7 of security audit remediation (ranks 8, 13).
- token_introspection.go: when requireTokenIntrospection is enabled, cap the
positive introspection-result cache at 30s (instead of 5m) so a token
revoked at the provider stops passing within ~30s, matching the operator's
near-real-time revocation expectation (rank 8).
- session.go: bind the cookie store's MaxAge to the configured sessionMaxAge,
so the cookie codec's cryptographic timestamp validity is no longer fixed at
gorilla's 30-day default; a stolen cookie is valid only for the configured
session lifetime (rank 13).
- tests: add a cookie-lifetime regression test.
* fix(security): low-severity hardening (cache, DoS caps, PKCE, throttle)
Batch 8 of security audit remediation — low severity
(ranks 24, 25, 27, 29, 31, 36, 37, 41, 45, 46, 49).
- universal_cache.go: updateLocalCache updates an existing key in place instead
of orphaning its LRU element and double-counting currentSize/currentMemory
(rank 36 — the only production-reachable bug in this batch).
- jwk.go / metadata_cache.go / token_introspection.go: bound response bodies
with io.LimitReader (1 MiB) to prevent memory exhaustion from a hostile or
buggy provider (ranks 24, 25).
- jwk.go: skip JWKs not usable for signature verification (use != sig, or
key_ops without "verify") when building the key set (rank 49).
- auth_flow.go: fail closed at the callback when PKCE is enabled but the code
verifier is missing, instead of silently dropping it (rank 27).
- utilities.go / main.go: match allowedUserDomains case-insensitively (rank 31).
- bearer_auth.go: a single success no longer wipes an active per-IP penalty;
the counter resets only when no penalty is in effect (rank 29).
- main.go: handle (not discard) the NewSessionManager error (rank 37).
- error_recovery.go: take a write lock in isServiceDegraded (it deletes from a
map); compare retryable-error substrings case-insensitively (ranks 45, 46).
- singleton_resources.go: bind the generic-cache cleanup goroutine to the
resource-manager shutdown channel so it cannot outlive its owner (rank 41).
- tests: update the bearer throttle test to the corrected penalty semantics.
* fix(security): header sanitization, issuer pinning, fail-closed paths
Batch 9 of security audit remediation (ranks 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 30, 33, 34).
- middleware.go / bearer_auth.go: sanitize claim-derived values on the cookie
auth path before injecting them into downstream headers. Drop group/role and
identifier values containing control chars, bidi-override runes, or the
, ; = delimiters (a comma would inject phantom entries into X-User-Groups);
reject control/bidi/over-length in rendered templated header output (but
permit , ; = in free-form values such as a bearer token). The bearer path
already sanitized; the cookie path did not (ranks 33, 34).
- main.go / metadata_cache.go: pin the discovered issuer to the configured
provider host (sameHost) and refuse/never-cache a mismatch, so a poisoned
discovery document cannot redefine the JWT trust anchor (ranks 21, 22).
- token_introspection.go: when a distinct API audience is configured, fail
closed on a missing or mismatched introspection audience; aud parsed as
string-or-array per RFC 7662 (rank 19).
- logout.go: front-channel logout requires a matching issuer; an empty iss is
rejected (blocks unauthenticated forced-logout via a known sid) (rank 30).
- token_validation_rs.go: an opaque access token with no ID token and no
successful introspection fails closed (re-auth) instead of authenticating
(ranks 18, 20).
- tests: realistic same-host provider mocks; regression tests for the header
sanitization distinction and the fail-closed paths.
* chore(security): remove unwired dead code with latent footguns
Batch 10 of security audit remediation — delete confirmed-dead, unwired
subsystems (ranks 26, 35, 50). None had a production caller (grep-verified);
removal eliminates the latent footguns and ~2.1k lines of dead code.
- token_validator.go (deleted): an unused *TokenValidator whose validateJWT set
Valid=true with NO signature verification — a severe footgun if ever wired
(rank 50). The wired RS-aware validators are unaffected.
- security_monitoring.go (deleted): an unused *SecurityMonitor / ExtractClientIP
that trusted spoofable X-Forwarded-For / X-Real-IP. The live bearer throttle
uses clientIPForBearer (RemoteAddr-only), unchanged (rank 35).
- dynamic_client_registration.go: removed the RFC 7592 management methods
(Update/Read/DeleteClientRegistration) that dereferenced an attacker-
influenced RegistrationClientURI with the registration token attached and no
HTTPS/SSRF gate, and had no callers. The wired RFC 7591 RegisterClient and
credential-store helpers are kept (rank 26).
- tests: removed the tests covering the deleted code.
* chore: add Makefile with yaegi load validation
No Makefile existed. The new `yaegi-validate` target interprets the plugin
under the yaegi interpreter the same way Traefik loads it, catching yaegi-only
incompatibilities (unsupported stdlib symbols, reflection edge cases) that the
native `go build` / `go test` toolchain does not. Importing the plugin forces
yaegi to interpret every file plus its vendored deps; CreateConfig + New
exercise the instantiation path.
- cmd/yaegicheck/main.go: the load driver, marked //go:build ignore so it is
excluded from `go build ./...` (avoids VCS-stamping a main binary, which
fails in git-worktree layouts) yet is run explicitly by yaegi.
- Makefile: build / fmt / vet / lint / test / vendor / yaegi-validate / check
targets; `make check` runs vet + tests + yaegi-validate.
Verified: `make yaegi-validate` passes on this branch — the HKDF cookie
encryption, net-based endpoint validation, and claim sanitizers all interpret
and instantiate cleanly under yaegi.
* ci: bump workflow Go toolchain to 1.25; pin yaegi-validate to v0.16.1
Traefik v3.7.1 (the deployed version) is built with `go 1.25.0`, so the PR and
release workflows now use Go 1.25.x to match the toolchain Traefik uses.
Important distinction: the CI Go version is the build TOOLCHAIN. The plugin's
actual interpreter-compatibility ceiling is the yaegi version Traefik bundles
(v0.16.1, which declares go 1.21 and ships a ~Go 1.22 stdlib symbol surface),
NOT the CI Go version. That ceiling is enforced by `make yaegi-validate` plus
the go.mod language directive — e.g. it is why HKDF is hand-rolled with
hmac+sha256 rather than Go 1.24's crypto/hkdf, which yaegi v0.16.1 lacks.
Also pin Makefile YAEGI_VERSION to v0.16.1 (what Traefik v3.7.1 vendors) so
yaegi-validate exercises the real deployed interpreter instead of @latest,
which could pass on a newer yaegi that supports symbols the deployed one does
not.
* docs: align README/CONFIGURATION with branch behavior changes
- excludedURLs: documented as segment/extension-boundary matching (was
"prefix-matched") — "/public" no longer also matches "/publicsecret" (rank 14).
- Front-channel logout now requires a matching `iss`; requests without one are
rejected with 400 (rank 30).
- Add an "Upgrading from an earlier release" note: session cookies are now
AES-256 encrypted with lifetime tracking sessionMaxAge (one-time re-login on
upgrade), and invalid configuration (rateLimit < 10, key < 32 bytes, missing
callbackURL, non-HTTPS remote providerURL) now fails closed at startup.
* fix: remove staticcheck-flagged unused functions; wire staticcheck into make check
CI Static Analysis (standalone staticcheck) failed with U1000 "unused":
- dynamic_client_registration.go: deleteCredentialsFromStore — its only caller
was the RFC 7592 DeleteClientRegistration removed in the dead-code batch.
- token_test.go: createTestJWTSimple — its only callers were the TokenValidator
tests removed in the same batch.
Both confirmed to have zero remaining callers and removed. build / vet /
go test ./... / staticcheck ./... all green.
The pre-commit hook runs golangci-lint, but CI runs standalone staticcheck
(which flags U1000). Add a `staticcheck` Makefile target and include it in
`make check` so this class of finding is caught locally before push.
* fix(test): stabilize flaky TestWorkerPool_TaskPanic
tasksFailed is incremented in the worker's deferred recover(), which runs after the panicking task's own defer wg.Done(). wg.Wait() could therefore return before the failure was recorded, so reading the counter immediately raced and flaked on slow CI runners. Poll until the failure lands (2s budget) instead. Verified 200x plain + 50x under -race/GOMAXPROCS=1.
universal_cache: stop the write-lock convoy / 100%-CPU spin (observed via pprof: one ServeHTTP goroutine holding c.mu.Lock for hours while 119 requests queued). The per-request populate path (updateLocalCache) PushFronted a duplicate LRU node + overwrote items[key] without removing the prior node; once eviction deleted the key, orphan nodes at Back() were never removable and the eviction loop spun forever under the write lock. Replace the entry in place (mirroring setLocal) and harden evictOldest with a forward-progress guard. Adds universal_cache_orphan_test.go.
telemetry: delete the hand-rolled client; call oss-telemetry v0.2.3 (vendored, Yaegi-safe) directly from New(), once per process via sync.Once.
version: add version.go + workflow-prepare.sh so the release semver is stamped into source at build time (the value cannot be resolved at runtime under Yaegi). dev/source builds keep the 0.0.0-dev sentinel and emit no telemetry.
UniversalCache.getLocal(): when a cached token expires, the RLock fast
path (line 385-398) previously fell through to c.mu.Lock() (write lock).
Under Yaegi, the write-lock holder takes 10-100ms for LRU manipulation,
and Go's RWMutex writer-priority blocks ALL new RLock callers. A single
expired-token event turned every concurrent request from read-parallel
into write-serialized — the convoy that produced the 737-goroutine
pileup at 0x400275a608 (pprof captured at /tmp/traefik-spike-1779663149).
Fix: return (nil, false) immediately on expiry for Token/JWK/Session
cache types. The periodic cleanup goroutine handles eviction. Write lock
is never taken on the read path for these cache types.
refreshAttemptTracker.mutateState(): the CAS loop used
t.state.CompareAndSwap(t.state.Load(), next) — a second Load that can
see a different value from a concurrent writer, silently overwriting
their update. Fixed to CompareAndSwap(cur, next) using the snapshot we
computed the mutation from.
After v1.0.20 the non-RS validation chain had no production callers —
middleware.ServeHTTP dispatched exclusively through isUserAuthenticatedRS.
The orphaned functions stayed reachable only from a handful of test
files and risked silent logic drift against their RS counterparts.
Deleted from production code (~440 LOC):
- auth_flow.go: isUserAuthenticated
- token_manager.go: validateAzureTokens
- token_manager.go: validateGoogleTokens
- token_manager.go: validateStandardTokens
- token_manager.go: validateTokenExpiry
- removed now-unused encoding/base64 and encoding/json imports
from token_manager.go (only the deleted validateStandardTokens
needed them; the RS variant in token_validation_rs.go keeps its
own imports).
Added (3 LOC):
- token_validation_rs.go: validateGoogleTokensRS (trivial delegator,
parity with the deleted non-RS variant so isUserAuthenticatedRS
can dispatch cleanly).
Tests ported (10 call sites across 3 files):
- audience_test.go: ts.tOidc.validateStandardTokens
- azure_oidc_test.go: tOidc.validateAzureTokens,
ts.tOidc.validateGoogleTokens,
ts.tOidc.validateAzureTokens,
ts.tOidc.isUserAuthenticated
- issue134_followup_graph_test.go: oidc.validateAzureTokens (4x)
Each ported site now constructs a *requestState from its existing
*SessionData via (&requestState{}).captureSession(session) and calls
the *RS variant. Same data, different read source.
Net diff: -440 LOC production, ~+25 LOC tests, +3 LOC stub.
Production now has a single source of truth for token validation;
no parallel implementations to keep in sync.
All tests pass with -race; golangci-lint clean.
Adds token_validation_rs.go with requestState-aware variants of the
token validation path:
isUserAuthenticatedRS(rs) -> dispatches by provider
validateStandardTokensRS(rs) -> standard path (eliminates 17 RLocks)
validateAzureTokensRS(rs) -> Azure path (eliminates 10 RLocks)
validateGoogleTokensRS(rs) -> delegates to standard
validateTokenExpiryRS(rs, tok) -> shared expiry check (eliminates 4 RLocks)
middleware.ServeHTTP now calls isUserAuthenticatedRS(rs) on the hot
path. The pre-v1.0.20 non-RS variants are kept untouched for tests
and any future caller that doesn't have a captured snapshot.
Why
---
The standard validation path read SessionData via session.GetX() 17
times, with GetRefreshToken alone called 11 times (every "return
'needs refresh'" branch re-reads it). Each call acquires
sd.sessionMutex.RLock(). Under Yaegi each RLock costs ~1-5ms of
interpreter dispatch. The captured snapshot already lives on rs, so
the RS variants substitute direct struct field reads.
Per-request cost on the hot authenticated path
----------------------------------------------
ServeHTTP enters:
+ 1 RLock to populate rs (was 0)
Validation path:
Standard: was 17 RLocks, now 0
Azure: was 10 RLocks, now 0
processAuthorizedRequestRS:
was 4-6 GetX calls, now 0 (already in v1.0.19)
Net: ~22-27 fewer Yaegi-dispatched RLock acquisitions per authenticated
request on the hot path.
Caveats
-------
* Refresh / expired / callback paths still use the non-RS validators
because they can mutate session state between validation and use.
* The RS variants are by-design line-for-line equivalents of the
originals. If logic in the originals changes, the RS variants need
matching updates. This is acceptable for now; a future refactor
could collapse them once the non-RS callers are gone.
All tests pass with -race; golangci-lint clean.
Adds requeststate.go and threads a *requestState through the
ServeHTTP -> processAuthorizedRequestRS -> forwardAuthorized path.
rs is allocated once at the top of ServeHTTP, populates SessionData
field snapshots under a SINGLE sd.sessionMutex.RLock, and caches the
MetadataSnapshot. Downstream handlers read the cached fields instead
of calling session.GetX() / t.metadataSnap() repeatedly.
Why
---
Under Yaegi each method dispatch (including RWMutex.RLock) costs
~1-5ms of interpreter overhead. SessionData getters each take an
RLock on sd.sessionMutex; the previous hot path called 5-7 of them
per request (GetAuthenticated, GetAccessToken, GetIDToken,
GetRefreshToken, GetUserIdentifier, plus the same set again inside
processAuthorizedRequest). With one batched RLock + cached fields,
that drops to a single RLock for the whole handler chain.
This is scoped — not a wholesale architectural refactor:
* requestState is per-request (alloc at ServeHTTP entry, dropped on
return). It is NOT a shared cache and never escapes the request.
* The original processAuthorizedRequest is kept unchanged for any
callers we don't migrate this round (bearer path, callback
handlers, expired-token handlers). New code path is the RS-aware
processAuthorizedRequestRS, which middleware.ServeHTTP now uses for
the happy authenticated-and-not-needing-refresh case.
* Cross-request caches (tokenCache, JWKCache, sessionEntries,
sessionInvalidationCache) are unchanged. rs is additive, not a
replacement.
What this does NOT change
-------------------------
* The refresh path still calls session.GetX() in middleware.go
(handleExpiredToken, refreshToken, defaultInitiateAuthentication)
because those flows can mutate session state and a stale rs would
be wrong.
* validateStandardTokens still has its own session.GetX() calls.
Deep plumbing into the token-verification path is a follow-up.
* No semantic changes to authentication, refresh, or session
lifecycle — only the read path is optimised.
All tests pass with -race; golangci-lint clean.
Two related lock-free snapshot refactors addressing the remaining
post-v1.0.16 code-review findings.
1. refreshAttemptTracker: per-field atomic.Load/Store -> atomic.Value
snapshot of *attemptState (refresh_coordinator.go).
Previously each tracker held five independently-atomic fields. The
cooldown-exit reset wrote cooldownEndNano = 0 first, then separately
stored attempts = 1 and windowStartNano = now. A concurrent
isInCooldown call could observe cooldownEndNano = 0 (reset just
completed) with attempts still at MaxRefreshAttempts, immediately
triggering a fresh cooldown — a benign double-trigger race that
nonetheless meant the state machine had observable intermediate
states.
New design: state is a *attemptState (immutable) published via
atomic.Value. All transitions (record/success/failure/window-reset/
cooldown-enter/cooldown-exit) go through mutateState, which runs a
CAS loop: load current snapshot -> construct fresh snapshot ->
CompareAndSwap. Either the entire new state publishes or none of
it does — no intermediate visibility, no cross-field race.
Under Yaegi this collapses 3-5 per-field atomic dispatches into one
atomic.Value.Load on the read path. Write paths pay an extra
allocation for the new snapshot but avoid the cross-field hazard.
2. MetadataSnapshot: hot-path readers use atomic.Value instead of
metadataMu.RLock (middleware.go, types.go, main.go, utilities.go).
middleware.ServeHTTP previously took metadataMu.RLock on every
non-bypass request to read the single field issuerURL. Under Yaegi
each RLock acquisition costs 1-5ms of interpreter dispatch.
updateMetadataEndpoints now also publishes an immutable
*MetadataSnapshot via atomic.Value; the hot-path reader loads it
in one op via t.metadataSnap(). Falls back to the legacy
metadataMu.RLock pattern when the snapshot is unpublished (some
test setups initialize the struct fields directly without going
through updateMetadataEndpoints).
Less-frequent callers (helpers, logout, token_introspection) still
take metadataMu.RLock and are unchanged. The snapshot strictly
subsets the metadataMu-protected fields, so those readers see
identical data.
Note on atomic.Pointer[T]: this would have been the cleaner type but
yaegi v0.16.1's stdlib (used by traefik:v3.7.1) exposes only the
legacy unsafe.Pointer-based atomic primitives — no generic Pointer[T].
atomic.Value provides the same semantics via interface{} + type assert.
All tests pass with -race; golangci-lint clean.
Three related changes addressing post-v1.0.15 code-review findings and
the user's observation that we have been "throwing maps around" — under
Yaegi every sync.Map / atomic / mutex dispatch costs ~1-5ms of
interpreter overhead, so the number of dispatches per request matters
as much as whether they are lock-free.
1. Remove cleanupTimers map + cleanupTimerMu sync.Mutex.
scheduleDelayedCleanup previously tracked every pending timer in a
map guarded by a mutex so a duplicate scheduling could cancel the
prior timer. That "shouldn't happen" path was the only consumer of
the map, but the mutex fired on every successful refresh
completion — another per-request Yaegi-dispatched lock.
performCleanup is already idempotent (LoadAndDelete on the sync.Map),
so a duplicate firing is at worst a no-op second call. Dropped the
map entirely; time.AfterFunc callback now calls performCleanup
directly.
Net: -1 sync.Mutex, -1 map field, -2 Lock/Unlock pairs per refresh
completion. Shutdown simplified — no need to enumerate-and-stop
timers since the callbacks no longer need teardown.
2. Reorder applyLeaderGates: cooldown check BEFORE recordRefreshAttempt.
Previously incremented the attempt counter and then checked cooldown.
Under burst load (many concurrent leaders with different token hashes
but the same session) every goroutine could increment past
MaxRefreshAttempts before any one of them observed the threshold,
so the gate fired too late — same thundering-herd shape that drove
v1.0.14 into the ground. Reordering makes the gate authoritative:
only attempts that pass the gate are recorded.
Semantic change: with MaxRefreshAttempts=N, exactly N attempts now
run to completion before the (N+1)th is denied. Previously the Nth
was denied as it tried to record (off-by-one stricter). Test
assertion updated to N (was N-1).
3. Fix getOrCreateOperation MaxConcurrentRefreshes overshoot.
The previous CAS-loop allowed a transient overshoot of up to N-1
leaders when several goroutines all observed `current < max` in the
same scheduling slice before any one of them succeeded their CAS —
visible to readers as currentInFlightRefreshes > MaxConcurrentRefreshes
for a brief window.
Replaced with the ticket-and-return pattern: increment optimistically,
decrement if we overshot. Strictly bounded: only the goroutine that
produces max+1 sees max+1 as committed; the rest decrement back
immediately. No CAS retry loop needed.
What was NOT done in this commit, and why:
* metadataMu.RLock cached via atomic snapshot — code-reviewer flagged
this at severity 7 (3 RLocks per request: middleware.go:213,
token_manager.go:349, token_manager.go:408). The clean fix is an
atomic.Pointer[*MetadataSnapshot], but generic atomic.Pointer[T] is
NOT exposed by yaegi v0.16.1's stdlib (only legacy unsafe.Pointer
primitives). atomic.Value would work but requires a snapshot-struct
refactor across ~15 call sites (helpers/logout/token_introspection/
token_manager/main/middleware). Deferred to a focused future PR.
* isInCooldown multi-field reset race — the cooldown-reset CAS wins
on cooldownEndNano, then separately stores attempts/consecutiveFailures/
windowStartNano. A concurrent isInCooldown can briefly see the
pre-reset attempts value and trigger a fresh cooldown. Semantic glitch
(double-cooldown), not a correctness disaster. Fix is a single atomic
pointer swap of an immutable snapshot — same atomic.Pointer constraint
as above. Deferred.
All tests pass with -race; golangci-lint clean.
JWKCache.GetJWKS previously held a sync.RWMutex.Lock() across the entire
HTTP round-trip to the IdP's JWKS endpoint (jwk.go:93). On a cold cache
(cold pod, JWK rotation, transient network blip) every concurrent
request piled up on this single global write-lock. Under Yaegi each
Lock() acquisition costs 10-50ms of interpreter dispatch — same
architectural shape as the bugs v1.0.14 and v1.0.15 already fixed,
just one that hadn't surfaced as the dominant bottleneck yet.
Code-review post-spike #2 flagged this at confidence 9/10 as the next
likely death-spiral on pod cold-start.
Change replaces the lock with a sync.Map-based singleflight: the first
caller for a given JWKS URL performs the fetch; concurrent callers
attach to the same *jwksFetch and wait on its done channel for the
result. Cold-cache cost is now O(1) HTTP fetch regardless of how many
goroutines are waiting, and no Yaegi-dispatched lock is held during the
fetch itself.
Correctness:
- LoadOrStore winner does the work; losers wait on a done channel.
- Done channel close is in a defer, so panics in fetchJWKS still
unblock waiters.
- Map entry is removed in the same defer, so a fresh failed fetch can
be retried by the next request without waiting for any stale entry.
- ctx.Done() unblocks waiters independently of the leader's progress.
- Re-checks the cache after winning LoadOrStore, since another fetch
may have populated the cache between the initial miss and the win.
Cleanup: also removes a stray yaegi-extract output file
(github_com-lukaszraczylo-traefikoidc.go) that was accidentally
committed during local yaegi compatibility testing.
All tests pass with -race; golangci-lint clean.
The v1.0.14 fix replaced one contended sync.RWMutex (RefreshCoordinator.
refreshMutex) with sync.Map. Production showed the same death-spiral
signature recurring ~2 hours later — same shape, different mutex:
65 goroutines stuck on a sync.(*RWMutex).Lock at one address, pod
pinned at 1000m CPU, identical Yaegi runCfg/reflect.Value.Call stack
pattern. The mutex was RefreshCoordinator.attemptsMutex.
Generalising: under Yaegi (interpreted Go for traefik plugins), any
per-request global mutex acquisition is a latent serialization point.
reflect.Value.Call dispatch on a held lock turns a microsecond
critical section into a multi-millisecond one, and on a GOMAXPROCS=1
pod the queue is unbounded.
This commit removes every per-request global mutex on the hot path:
1. RefreshCoordinator.attemptsMutex (sync.RWMutex)
sessionRefreshAttempts: map -> sync.Map.
refreshAttemptTracker: all fields atomic (int32, int64 UnixNano,
cooldownEndNano == 0 as the not-in-cooldown sentinel, replacing
the inCooldown bool).
isInCooldown / recordRefreshAttempt / recordRefreshSuccess /
recordRefreshFailure all become lock-free. Cooldown entry uses
CompareAndSwapInt64 so only one goroutine logs the transition.
2. RefreshCircuitBreaker.mutex (sync.RWMutex)
lastFailureTime / lastSuccessTime -> atomic.Int64 UnixNano.
state and failures already atomic.
AllowRequest / RecordSuccess / RecordFailure now pure atomic ops.
3. TraefikOidc.firstRequestMutex (sync.Mutex)
firstRequestReceived bool -> firstRequestStarted int32.
metadataRefreshStarted bool -> metadataRefreshStartedAtomic int32.
ServeHTTP bootstrap path uses CompareAndSwapInt32 — fires once,
zero steady-state cost. Previously the mutex was acquired on
every non-health request forever.
4. TraefikOidc.metadataRetryMutex (sync.Mutex)
lastMetadataRetryTime time.Time -> lastMetadataRetryNano int64.
The 30-second retry throttle is now a CAS on lastMetadataRetryNano.
cleanupStaleEntries iterates via sync.Map.Range; eviction is a
CompareAndDelete by pointer identity so a tracker freshly re-used by
a concurrent caller is not lost.
Empirical evidence (3 specialist-agent analysis of the v1.0.14 spike,
profiles in /tmp/traefik-spike-1779511683/):
* mutex profile: 97% delay in sync.(*Mutex).Unlock via
HTTPHandlerSwitcher -> accesslog -> metrics -> backoff.RetryNotify
* 65 stuck goroutines at one RWMutex address (0x40022eb648),
identical Yaegi CFG pointer, all on rc.attemptsMutex via
recordRefreshAttempt + isInCooldown
* traffic driver: long-lived in-cluster Go-http-client doing
~5.4 req/s POST embeddings via OIDC cookie session → same
sessionID → contention all funnels to one tracker entry
Yaegi support for sync/atomic confirmed at
github.com/traefik/[email protected].1/stdlib/go1_22_sync_atomic.go:
AddInt32/Int64, LoadInt32/Int64, StoreInt32/Int64,
CompareAndSwapInt32/Int64 all exposed via reflect.ValueOf. Yaegi
dispatches each call through reflect.Value.Call to the COMPILED
atomic.* function, which executes a single hardware CAS/LOCK-XADD
instruction. Each atomic op still pays Yaegi dispatch cost but
cannot block — no queueing, no death spiral.
Trade-off acknowledged: v1.0.15 issues ~6-8 atomic/sync.Map ops per
leader-path request vs the 4 mutex ops of v1.0.14. Under low
contention this is a modest CPU bump. Under high contention it's
an unbounded → bounded transformation. Net win.
All tests pass with -race; golangci-lint clean.
Under Yaegi, the RefreshCoordinator.refreshMutex was held for tens of
milliseconds per request because every operation inside the critical
section (map access, isInCooldown, recordRefreshAttempt,
isUnderMemoryPressure, atomic ops, struct allocation) is dispatched
through reflect.Value.Call with full arg boxing/unboxing.
Concurrent refreshes on the same coordinator serialized into a queue
that grew without bound. Live capture in production (3 Grafana
dashboards left open) showed:
* 63 goroutines stuck on rc.refreshMutex.Lock() for 1-11 minutes
* pod pinned at 1000m CPU (GOMAXPROCS=1)
* 5.15M allocs/sec, 0.45 RPS effective throughput
* yaegi.call.func9 accounting for 92.66% of cumulative allocs
* mutex profile dominated by sync.(*Mutex).Unlock via the request chain
Change inFlightRefreshes from map[string]*refreshOperation+RWMutex to
sync.Map and rewrite getOrCreateOperation to:
1. Speculatively allocate the candidate operation.
2. Atomically LoadOrStore by tokenHash. Joiners take the existing
operation; leader takes the new one. No global lock acquired.
3. Leader runs rate-limit / cooldown / memory-pressure gates AFTER
the atomic store. Joiners share the leader's outcome via op.done.
4. Reserve the concurrent-refresh slot via CompareAndSwap so the
count cannot overshoot in absence of the old serializing lock.
5. On any gate failure the leader calls failCandidate, which deletes
the entry from sync.Map, records the error on op.result and closes
op.done so any joiner that snuck in returns the same error.
performCleanup becomes a single sync.Map.LoadAndDelete, eliminating
the lock entirely on the cleanup path.
Net effect: critical section is no longer Yaegi-interpreted; it
collapses to atomic instructions on a sharded sync.Map. Refresh
contention disappears even under Yaegi.
All tests pass with -race; golangci-lint clean.
Discloses the single anonymous adoption ping sent on first plugin
instantiation. Points users to the upstream README section for the
disclosure pattern and to the local telemetry.go for the inline
implementation.
Adds a yaegi-safe inline telemetry helper that fires a single
fire-and-forget ping at plugin load. Helps track adoption and version
spread. No persistent identifiers are collected.
Implementation notes:
- inline (no external dep) so Traefik plugin loader does not need to
resolve a new vendored module
- stdlib-only, no generics, no range-over-int — verified to load under
yaegi 0.16.x (full plugin import + CreateConfig/New symbol lookup OK)
- avoids `switch{case A,B,C:}` blocks where some yaegi releases
mis-evaluate comma-separated case lists
- sync.Once guards against amplified pings on Traefik dynamic config
reloads (which re-instantiate the middleware)

* docs: bearer-token auth design spec
* docs: harden bearer-auth spec with security review findings
* feat(bearer): opt-in M2M bearer-token authentication
Adds an opt-in Authorization: Bearer <jwt> path for machine-to-machine
clients. Replaces and supersedes the broken approach in PR #93
(synthetic-session that omitted user_identifier and skipped ID-token
rejection / replay-protection-semantics / kid-pinning / etc.).
Design
Two auth entrypoints feed one shared post-auth pipeline:
cookie path ─┐
├── forwardAuthorized(rw, req, *principal)
bearer path ─┘ (roles/groups, header injection, security
headers, cookie strip, forward)
buildPrincipalFromSession and buildPrincipalFromBearerToken produce
the same `principal` value type. forwardAuthorized is session-agnostic
and runs the existing post-auth work; processAuthorizedRequest now
wraps it with the session-specific concerns (backchannel-logout,
dirty/Save). The cookie path's behaviour is byte-identical to before
this PR; the existing test suite passes unmodified.
Security hardening baked into the bearer path
- Audience MANDATORY. Startup fails when EnableBearerAuth=true and
Audience is empty.
- BearerIdentifierClaim defaults to "sub"; "email" is rejected at
startup to avoid the unverified-email spoofing footgun. Cookie
path's UserIdentifierClaim is unaffected and still defaults to
"email".
- ID tokens explicitly rejected via the existing detectTokenType
helper (nonce, typ=at+jwt, token_use, scope, aud-vs-clientID
heuristics); belt-and-braces nonce/token_use=id rejection on top.
- alg pinned to asymmetric allowlist (RS/PS/ES 256/384/512) BEFORE
JWKS fetch, blocking alg=none and alg=HS* probes from amplifying
into upstream calls.
- kid length capped at 256 bytes and charset-restricted before JWKS
fetch, blocking pathological-kid JWKS amplification.
- Multi-audience tokens require azp == clientID.
- iat upper-age bound (MaxTokenAgeSeconds, default 24h) bounds clock-
manipulation and forever-token abuse.
- Identifier sanitization: length cap, control-char + bidi-override
+ delimiter (, ; =) rejection.
- Per-IP failure throttle: configurable threshold/window/penalty;
returns 429 + Retry-After. Limits offline-guessing-style attacks
and protects the shared rate-limiter / JWKS endpoint.
- JTI replay marking suppressed via new internal verifyOpts
{skipReplayMarking} so the same bearer can be reused until exp;
the blacklist Get stays active so RevokeToken still terminates a
bearer token immediately. The existing exported VerifyToken
interface is unchanged so all mocks continue to work.
- Cookie wins by default when both bearer and cookie are present
(safer against browser/extension/proxy bearer injection).
Operator can flip via BearerOverridesCookie.
- Authorization header stripped on forward by default; also stripped
on excluded URLs so the token can't leak into health/metrics
downstream logs.
- Optional RFC 7662 introspection via existing
requireTokenIntrospection. Introspection-endpoint failure returns
503 (distinguishes infra from token rejection).
- 401s use RFC 6750 WWW-Authenticate hints (toggleable). Failure
reason is logged at debug; raw tokens are never logged.
Implementation
- principal.go: pure-data principal type and buildPrincipalFromSession.
- bearer_auth.go: alg/kid pin, classifier, identifier sanitization,
multi-aud azp gate, iat age check, per-IP failure tracker,
handleBearerRequest, buildPrincipalFromBearerToken.
- token_manager.go: VerifyToken now wraps a new verifyTokenWithOpts
that accepts internal-only verifyOpts. Existing callers, the
TokenVerifier interface, and all mocks unchanged.
- middleware.go: extracted forwardAuthorized from
processAuthorizedRequest; wired bearer detection after init wait
+ after bypass; excluded-URL Authorization strip when bearer
enabled.
- settings.go: ten new config fields with defaults applied in
CreateConfig.
- main.go: startup validation for audience + identifier-claim
guard; bearer failure tracker init.
Tests
- bearer_auth_test.go: table-driven helper tests for every new
component (parseBearerJOSEHeader, sanitizeBearerIdentifier,
resolveBearerIdentifier, enforceMultiAudienceAzp, enforceIatAge,
bearerFailureTracker, detectBearerToken). Integration tests
through ServeHTTP covering happy path, ID-token rejection,
alg=none rejection, oversized kid, multi-aud with/without azp,
iat-too-old, bidi identifier, replay (100x reuse), 429 throttle
trip, excluded-URL strip, roles gate, cookie-wins precedence,
BearerOverridesCookie, oversized token, malformed JWT,
feature-off pass-through. Startup validation for audience-
required and email-identifier-rejected.
- All existing tests pass unmodified (cookie-path regression).
- go vet clean. golangci-lint clean (0 issues). Race detector
clean on bearer tests.

* fix(cache): redact raw cache keys in debug logs (CodeQL go/clear-text-logging)
CodeQL flagged 9 high-severity alerts (go/clear-text-logging) where the
in-memory cache and the hybrid L1+L2 backend printed `key=%s` at debug.
Cache callers (token cache, blacklist, introspection cache) pass raw
access / refresh / id tokens as cache keys, so any debug-enabled
deployment would write them to log streams.
Pre-existing issue. CodeQL started flagging it on this PR because the
new bearer-auth path adds a data-flow source (req.Header.Get("Authorization"))
that reaches the existing logging sinks via the same cache. The cookie
path had the same risk but wasn't tracked as taint by CodeQL.
Fix: hash the key (SHA-256[:8] hex) before printing. Same approach the
bearer-auth logger uses for principal identifiers (spec §13). Doesn't
change cache semantics — same key still produces the same hash, so
debug correlation across log lines is preserved without exposing the
raw value.
Touches both affected packages:
- internal/cache/cache.go (2 sites: Set + LRU eviction)
- internal/cache/backends/hybrid.go (12 sites: L1/L2 read/write/fallback)
New helper `redactKey` colocated with each package (unexported,
package-local) keeps the change blast radius narrow. Tests green; lint
clean.
* docs(bearer): how to obtain bearer tokens from the OIDC provider
Adds a section walking operators through the OAuth 2.0 client_credentials
flow (RFC 6749 §4.4) and the JWT bearer assertion alternative (RFC 7523),
with a worked Auth0-shape curl example, a per-provider quick reference
(Auth0, Okta, Keycloak, Entra v2, Cognito, GitLab, Google), operational
notes (token TTL, caching, JWKS rotation, revocation, scope vs audience,
secret hygiene), and a three-line validation loop.
Most common operator confusion: "I enabled the feature but tokens get
401'd" — almost always missing or wrong audience. The new section makes
the audience-matching requirement loud, with per-provider parameter
names so people don't have to dig through IdP docs.
Locations:
- docs/BEARER_AUTH.md — full section under "Quick start"
- README.md — short snippet + deep link
Followup to issue #134 — two reporters returned saying that even with the
JWKS caching fix in v1.0.7/v1.0.8, every request emitted:
ERROR: TraefikOidcPlugin: UNKNOWN token verification failed:
signature verification failed: crypto/rsa: verification error
ERROR: TraefikOidcPlugin: DIAGNOSTIC: Signature verification failed for
kid=<kid>, alg=RS256: crypto/rsa: verification error
Root cause: when an Azure tenant is configured without a custom API
resource, Microsoft issues access tokens for Microsoft Graph (or Azure
Mgmt). These tokens carry a `nonce` value in the JWT *header*; the bytes
that get signed contain SHA256(nonce), while the wire token ships the
original nonce. Any standard JWS verifier rejects the signature, which is
exactly Microsoft's intent — they document the format as proprietary and
tell client apps not to validate it
(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/access-tokens
"you can't validate tokens for Microsoft Graph according to these rules
due to their proprietary format").
validateAzureTokens was nonetheless attempting JWT verification on every
JWT-shaped access token, then silently falling back to the ID token when
verification failed. Auth still worked end-to-end, but every request
spammed two error log lines.
Two-layer defense:
* validateAzureTokens now detects the proprietary-nonce header before
calling verifyToken on the access token. When detected, the token is
treated as opaque (matching the existing branch for non-JWT tokens) and
validation proceeds via the ID token, exactly as Microsoft prescribes.
* VerifyJWTSignatureAndClaims downgrades the DIAGNOSTIC error log to
debug for tokens carrying the same proprietary marker, in case any
path outside validateAzureTokens reaches it.
Authorization still hinges on a separately-verifiable ID token — the
confused-deputy guard from CWE-441 is preserved (and explicitly tested).
revocation endpoints, joining the existing client_secret_post default.
Both are opt-in via the new clientAuthMethod config field. Closes#135.
private_key_jwt (RFC 7523 §2.2 / OpenID Connect Core §9)
========================================================
Plugin signs a short-lived JWT with a configured private key and presents
it as client_assertion. Use when the IdP enforces short secret TTLs or
requires secretless client auth (Microsoft Entra ID / Azure AD, Okta,
Auth0, Keycloak).
New Config fields:
clientAuthMethod (default: client_secret_post)
clientAssertionPrivateKey (inline PEM)
clientAssertionKeyPath (PEM file path; mutually exclusive)
clientAssertionKeyID (JWS kid header — required)
clientAssertionAlg (default: RS256; RS/PS/ES 256–512 supported)
PEM forms accepted: PKCS#8, PKCS#1, SEC1.
Assertion claims: iss=sub=clientID, aud=tokenURL, iat=now, exp=now+60s,
random 16-byte hex jti per request. ECDSA signatures are raw r||s per
RFC 7515 (not ASN.1).
client_secret_basic (RFC 6749 §2.3.1)
=====================================
Sends credentials in the Authorization: Basic header instead of the
body. Both halves are form-urlencoded individually before base64 — that
encoding step is required by the spec and is NOT what stdlib's
http.Request.SetBasicAuth does, so the plugin uses its own helper. The
form body omits client_id and client_secret on this path.
Wire-up
=======
Both methods are dispatched at the same two call sites:
helpers.go:exchangeTokens — auth_code + refresh_token grants
token_manager.go:RevokeTokenWithProvider — RFC 7009 revocation
Existing clientSecret deployments are unaffected — empty
clientAuthMethod maps to the historical client_secret_post behavior, and
clientAssertion remains nil unless the new fields are set.
Yaegi compatibility
===================
All required crypto/rsa, crypto/ecdsa, crypto/x509, encoding/pem and
crypto/sha256/384/512 symbols are exposed by the traefik/yaegi stdlib
symbol tables (RSA SignPKCS1v15 + SignPSS, ECDSA Sign,

=======================
mTLS / tls_client_auth (RFC 8705) — separate change; requires per-call
http.Client with tls.Config.Certificates and conflicts with the current
pooled HTTP client architecture.
Under yaegi (Traefik's plugin runtime) json.Marshal exposes unexported
struct fields with an X-prefixed name. parsedJWKS{ keys map[string]
crypto.PublicKey } therefore round-tripped through Redis as
{"Xkeys":{"<kid>":{"N":<huge>,"E":65537}}} — *rsa.PublicKey.N is a
*big.Int that marshals to a JSON number hundreds of digits long. On
read, json.Unmarshal into interface{} parses numbers as float64, which
cannot represent that range:
Failed to deserialize value for key .../discovery/v2.0/keys:parsed:
json: cannot unmarshal number 2251513...
into Go value of type float64
Auth still worked (the JWKCache rebuilt the keys in memory on every
miss) but the error log spammed every request.
Two structural problems were behind it:
* parsedJWKS holds crypto.PublicKey interface values that aren't
meaningfully JSON-serializable. Even on compiled Go (where the
unexported field marshals to {}), the post-roundtrip type assertion
v.(*parsedJWKS) silently failed and the cache was useless.
* The same pattern applied to *JWKSet — the struct shape survived JSON
but the type assertion still failed, defeating the cache for every
call that went through Redis.
Both keys now use the new UniversalCache.SetLocal/GetLocal pair, which
skips the configured distributed backend entirely. JWK rotation is rare
and a per-replica HTTP fetch on cold cache is cheap, so cross-replica
coherence buys nothing for these entries.
Stale Redis entries written by previous versions are simply ignored —
the new code never reads under those keys, and Redis TTL retires them.
Includes regression coverage for the Azure round-trip, the
poisoned-stale-data scenario, and the SetLocal/GetLocal isolation
contract.
patch-release
The redis.enableTLS / redis.tlsSkipVerify settings were accepted by the
config layer but silently dropped before reaching the connection pool, so
the plugin always dialed Redis in plaintext. This blocked TLS-only Redis
deployments such as AWS ElastiCache with in-transit encryption.
- Add EnableTLS, TLSSkipVerify, TLSServerName to backends.Config and
PoolConfig and forward them through universal_cache_singleton ->
backends.Config -> PoolConfig.
- In the connection pool, dial via tls.Dialer.DialContext (TLS 1.2
minimum) with SNI defaulting to the host part of the configured
Address when TLSServerName is empty, so ElastiCache cluster endpoints
validate out of the box. Plain dial path now also propagates ctx.
- Add regression tests covering successful TLS negotiation with skip-
verify, rejection of self-signed certs without skip-verify, rejection
of plain TCP servers when EnableTLS=true, and unaffected plaintext
behavior.
- Document maxRefreshTokenAgeSeconds (added in 1b6c861) and the implicit
SSE / WebSocket auth bypass (added in 684a990) in README.md,
docs/CONFIGURATION.md and docs/index.html.
- Add the missing redis.tlsSkipVerify row to docs/index.html and clarify
the redis.enableTLS description.

patch-release
The refresh path in token_manager.go hardcoded the "email" claim when
extracting the user identifier from a refreshed ID token, ignoring the
configured userIdentifierClaim. Keycloak users without an email claim
(using sub or another identifier) were kicked out on refresh even
though their initial login worked.
The callback path (auth_flow.go:226-239) already honored
userIdentifierClaim with "sub" fallback; PR #100 (commit a316a98)
added that support but missed the refresh path.
Mirror the callback logic in refreshToken so both paths behave the same.
Cleanup: rename Get/SetEmail to Get/SetUserIdentifier on SessionData
to match the actual semantics. The slot already stored the configured
identifier (email, sub, oid, upn, preferred_username), only the API
name was misleading. Storage key "email" → "user_identifier" and
combinedSessionPayload field E (json:"e") → Ui (json:"ui").
Compat note: existing user sessions invalidate on upgrade — every active
user re-authenticates once after deploying this change.
minor-release
Behaviour changes (potentially breaking for operators relying on the prior
unauthenticated SSE bypass):
* SSE (`Accept: text/event-stream`) and WebSocket upgrade requests now
return 401 when no authenticated session is present. Previously the
bypass forwarded unconditionally, which let any caller reach the
backend by setting the right header. Excluded URLs are unchanged.
Operators relying on unauthenticated SSE/WS access must move the path
into ExcludedURLs.
Performance fixes (target: long-running dashboards like Grafana / ArgoCD
where many panels poll concurrently while the page stays open):
* Stop honouring isTestMode() for the singleton-token-cleanup interval
under yaegi (the Traefik plugin runtime). In production the plugin was
running a 20 Hz no-op cleanup ticker because runtime.Compiler ==
"yaegi" tripped the test-mode branch.
* processAuthorizedRequest now resolves ID-token claims at most once per
request via SessionData.GetIDTokenClaims (already cached on the
session) and reuses them for both groups/roles extraction and
header-template rendering. Previously every authenticated request
parsed the JWT twice.
* Added extractGroupsAndRolesFromClaims to drive groups/roles off
pre-parsed claims; extractGroupsAndRoles still works for tests.
* Removed the unconditional session.MarkDirty() in the header-templates
branch. Templates only mutate request headers, not session state, so
the prior MarkDirty was re-encrypting and rewriting all session
cookies on every authenticated request that used header templates.
Other:
* Added isWebSocketUpgrade (RFC 6455 handshake detection — Connection:
Upgrade + Upgrade: websocket, tolerant of multi-token Connection
headers and case).
* Renamed applySSEUserHeaders -> applyBypassUserHeaders; it now returns
bool so the dispatcher can reject unauthenticated SSE/WS with 401.
* Added tests for SSE and WS bypass covering both the auth-rejection
path and the authenticated forward path.
* fix(refresh): wire RefreshCoordinator into the live refresh path
The RefreshCoordinator existed but was never instantiated. The actual
refresh path used only session.refreshMutex, which is per-SessionData
instance - and SessionData is pulled from a sync.Pool per request -
so concurrent requests sharing a refresh token had ZERO coordination.
Symptom: when access_token expired (e.g. 5min Zitadel default), every
in-flight request from a polling client (Grafana panels) entered the
refresh path simultaneously and POSTed the same refresh_token to the
IdP. With refresh-token rotation enabled (Zitadel/Authentik default),
only one grant succeeded; the rest got invalid_grant and each cleared
the entire session. Subsequent requests then thrashed in re-auth loops.
This commit:
- adds refreshCoordinator field on TraefikOidc
- instantiates it in NewWithContext with DefaultRefreshCoordinatorConfig
- shuts it down in Close() under shutdownOnce
- routes refreshToken() through the coordinator via coordinatedTokenRefresh,
which collapses concurrent grants to a single upstream call per
refresh_token hash
- exports refreshCoordinatorSessionID for both internal hashing and the
middleware-level wireup so dedup keys stay aligned
Behavioural notes:
- nil-coordinator fallback preserves existing tests that build TraefikOidc
literals without going through the constructor
- followers receive the same TokenResponse/error as the leader, so no
per-instance code paths change
- existing TestGetNewTokenWithRefreshToken_Concurrency still passes
because it hits GetNewTokenWithRefreshToken directly, below the
coordinator boundary
Tests:
- refresh_coordinator_wireup_test.go: 50 concurrent refreshes coalesce
to <=2 upstream calls; distinct tokens still run in parallel; nil
coordinator falls back cleanly
* perf(cache): bound L1 backfill goroutines in HybridBackend
Get() and GetMany() previously spawned a goroutine per L2 hit to write
the value through to L1. Under sustained polling traffic (e.g. a Grafana
dashboard refreshing every 30s with N panels) this minted thousands of
goroutines, each running in Yaegi - directly contributing to the
~1000% CPU spike that pairs with the refresh-token herd.
Replace the per-hit goroutines with a single l1BackfillWorker fed by
l1BackfillBuffer, mirroring the existing asyncWriteBuffer/asyncWriteWorker
pattern for L2 writes. Buffer overflow drops the backfill (counted via
l1BackfillDrops) - a dropped backfill just means the next L2 hit for
that key re-queues it, which is safe.
Tests:
- TestHybridBackend_L1BackfillBounded: 1000 distinct L2 hits keep
goroutine count within +20 of baseline (pre-fix it grew by ~1000)
- TestHybridBackend_L1BackfillFullDrops: drops are accounted for when
the buffer is saturated and the worker is stopped
* feat(refresh): implement isRefreshTokenExpired heuristic
Replace the placeholder `return false` with a real check based on the
issued_at timestamp that SetRefreshToken already stamps into the session.
Gated by a new MaxRefreshTokenAgeSeconds config field (default 21600 =
6h, matching the existing comment). 0 disables the check.
This wires the previously-dead refreshTokenExpired branch in middleware.go,
which short-circuits AJAX requests with a 401 instead of letting them
hammer the IdP for a refresh token that's almost certainly stale - the
classic Grafana-after-long-pause failure mode.
Behaviour:
- maxRefreshTokenAge=0 disables the check (preserves prior behaviour)
- legacy sessions without issued_at still attempt one refresh; the IdP
remains the source of truth on first try
- nil-receiver and nil-session guards keep test code that builds
TraefikOidc literals safe
Tests:
- TestIsRefreshTokenExpired_DisabledWhenAgeZero
- TestIsRefreshTokenExpired_LegacySessionWithoutTimestamp
- TestIsRefreshTokenExpired_WithinWindow
- TestIsRefreshTokenExpired_BeyondWindow
- TestIsRefreshTokenExpired_NilGuards
* perf(token): skip parseJWT on cache hit in VerifyToken
The token cache fast-return existed but ran AFTER parseJWT, so every
validation paid for base64 + JSON unmarshal even on a hit. Under bursty
traffic (e.g. 10+ concurrent panel requests on every Grafana dashboard
refresh, each calling validateStandardTokens which verifies BOTH the
access token and the ID token), this is two redundant parses per
request multiplied by the panel count.
Move the cache lookup ahead of parseJWT. On a hit the function returns
nil immediately. On a miss the original flow runs unchanged.
Also nil-guard t.tokenCache to keep partial-literal test instances safe
(matches the same pattern we already use for tokenBlacklist).
Tests:
- TestVerifyToken_CacheHitSkipsParse: cache pre-populated with claims
for a token whose body would fail parseJWT - returns nil iff the
fast-path bypasses the parse
- TestVerifyToken_CacheMissStillParses: a syntactically valid but
unsigned token still errors past parseJWT on cache miss
* feat(refresh): cross-replica refresh-grant dedup via shared cache
The in-process RefreshCoordinator added in 9f96d8c already collapses
concurrent refresh-token grants on a single Traefik replica. With the
plugin's existing Redis (Dragonfly) cache infrastructure available, we
can extend that dedup across replicas: if pod A refreshes a token at
T+0 and pod B receives a request for the same session at T+1, pod B
should reuse pod A's result rather than POSTing the now-rotated refresh
token to the IdP.
Implementation:
- Add a refreshResultCache to UniversalCacheManager (memory-only when
Redis is disabled, Redis-backed in production via the existing
hybrid/Redis-only mode selection)
- Expose it through CacheManager.GetSharedRefreshResultCache and on the
TraefikOidc struct as refreshResultCache (CacheInterface)
- Inside the closure passed to RefreshCoordinator.CoordinateRefresh,
consult the cache first; on hit return immediately, on miss exchange
with the IdP and populate the cache for peers
- 5s TTL: long enough for siblings to observe, short enough that a
rotated refresh token cannot be re-supplied after the IdP has moved on
- Errors are intentionally NOT cached - peers must always be able to
retry on their own
Pragmatic choice: optimistic cache rather than a hard distributed lock.
- A hard lock (SET NX + poll) doubles Redis RTT and risks dead-locks
if a Traefik pod dies mid-grant.
- The user's BGP+Local externalTrafficPolicy already pins ingress for
a session to one node in steady state, so cross-pod racing is rare.
- This optimistic path catches the rare failover case without adding
failure modes.
Tests:
- TestCoordinatedTokenRefresh_CrossReplicaCacheHit: pre-populated cache
short-circuits the upstream call entirely (0 IdP calls)
- TestCoordinatedTokenRefresh_PopulatesCrossReplicaCache: leader stores
a successful result for peers to find
- TestCoordinatedTokenRefresh_ErrorIsNotCached: invalid_grant must not
poison the dedup cache - peers must retry independently
Hot-path JWT verification rebuilt the public key on every call:
jwk -> ToRSAPublicKey -> x509.MarshalPKIXPublicKey -> pem.Encode
-> verifySignature -> pem.Decode -> x509.ParsePKIXPublicKey -> verify
Under yaegi this pinned a CPU when many concurrent dashboard panels
poll behind the middleware. The PEM round trip is pure waste.
* jwk.go: cache pre-parsed crypto.PublicKey per kid alongside the
raw JWKSet (parallel cache entry, same 1h TTL, invalidates together).
* jwt.go: split verifySignatureWithKey from verifySignature; existing
PEM-input entry point preserved for backchannel-logout callers.
* token_manager.go: VerifyJWTSignatureAndClaims now goes straight from
jwks cache to verifySignatureWithKey, no PEM round trip and no
per-request availableKids slice.
* universal_cache.go: token/JWK/session Get() takes RLock when the
entry is unexpired, so concurrent token verifications no longer
serialize on a single mutex. LRU semantics for general and metadata
caches are unchanged (tests cover the strict-LRU contract there).
* mocks: MockJWKCache, EnhancedMockJWKCache, mockJWKCacheForLogout,
staticJWKCache satisfy the extended interface.
* Fix cache serialisation
* fix(cache): add integer overflow protection for serialization
- [x] Add maxCacheEntrySize constant (64 MiB) to prevent memory overflow
- [x] Validate byte slice size before adding marker byte
- [x] Validate JSON-serialized data size before marker addition
- [x] Add comprehensive overflow protection test cases
* docs: add security fix documentation for integer overflow protection
* test: fix goroutine tests to use mock OIDC servers
The TestContextAwareGoroutineManagement tests were making real HTTP
calls to hardcoded URLs like https://example.com, causing failures
in CI when those requests timeout or return HTTP errors.
Changes:
- Added createMockOIDCServer() helper function using httptest
- Updated GoroutineCleanupOnContextCancel to use mock server
- Updated NoGoroutineLeakOnMultipleInstances to use 3 mock servers
- Updated SingletonTasksAcrossInstances to use mock servers array
This prevents network calls and makes tests more reliable and faster.
Fixes test failures in GitHub Actions CI.
* LRU + cache conflicts prevention.
* Bugfix universalCache flooding ( issue #105 )
1. Traefik cancels the context for old plugin instances
2. Each plugin's Close() method is called
3. The CacheInterfaceWrapper.Close() was calling cache.Close() on the shared singleton caches
4. Each Close() triggered Clear() which logged "Cleared all items" at INFO level
* Smarter approach to the cookies
- Single maxCookieSize = 1400 constant with clear documentation
- Combined cookie storage for ~40-45% size reduction
- Backward compatible migration from legacy cookies
* Tuneup the code.
* Allow to use multiple realms
This change is a ressurection of PR #88 which can't be merged due to significant refactor of the codebase.
* Fix the autocleanup routine to handle multiple realms correctly, update tests.
* Metadata rediscovery when provider is unavailable for any reason during the start.
This one prevents the permanent 503 from the plugin when OIDC provider was for some reason unavailable during the start.
* Allow internal IPs for OIDC configuration via extra flag.
Addresses issue #97
* Allow for internal IPs in OIDC configuration.
Addresses issue #97.
* feat: Add allowPrivateIPAddresses config option for internal networks
Adds a new configuration option `allowPrivateIPAddresses` that allows
OIDC provider URLs to use private IP addresses (10.x.x.x, 172.16-31.x.x,
192.168.x.x). This is useful for internal deployments where Keycloak or
other OIDC providers run on private networks without DNS resolution.
Security considerations:
- Loopback addresses (127.0.0.1, localhost, ::1) remain blocked
- Link-local addresses (169.254.x.x) remain blocked
- Default is false (secure by default)
Fixes#97
* feat: Support non-email user identifiers for Azure AD
Add userIdentifierClaim configuration option to support Azure AD users
without email addresses. This allows using alternative JWT claims like
"sub", "oid", "upn", or "preferred_username" for user identification.
- Default behavior uses "email" claim (backward compatible)
- Falls back to "sub" claim if configured claim is missing
- allowedUsers matches against the configured claim value
- allowedUserDomains only applies when using email-based identification
Fixes#95
* Race condition on traefik pod startup
When the plugin initializes and calls GetMetadataWithRecovery():
1. Checks cache first (if metadata is cached, returns immediately)
2. Creates a retry executor with startup-optimized settings (10 attempts, 1s delays)
3. Attempts to fetch metadata from the OIDC provider
4. If the fetch fails with a retryable error (connection refused, EOF, TLS/certificate errors, Traefik default cert), it waits and retries
5. After 10 attempts or on a non-retryable error, returns the error
This allows the plugin to handle the race condition where:
- Traefik initializes the plugin before routes are established
- Traefik serves its default certificate before loading real ones
- The OIDC provider pod isn't fully ready yet
Fixes issue #90
* Race condition on traefik pod startup
When the plugin initializes and calls GetMetadataWithRecovery():
1. Checks cache first (if metadata is cached, returns immediately)
2. Creates a retry executor with startup-optimized settings (10 attempts, 1s delays)
3. Attempts to fetch metadata from the OIDC provider
4. If the fetch fails with a retryable error (connection refused, EOF, TLS/certificate errors, Traefik default cert), it waits and retries
5. After 10 attempts or on a non-retryable error, returns the error
This allows the plugin to handle the race condition where:
- Traefik initializes the plugin before routes are established
- Traefik serves its default certificate before loading real ones
- The OIDC provider pod isn't fully ready yet
Fixes issue #90
* Headers too big and 431 responses
Added new option `minimalHeaders` to reduce the size of forwarded headers from the auth middleware to backend services.
- When minimalHeaders: false (default): All headers are forwarded as before
- X-Forwarded-User (always set)
- X-Auth-Request-Redirect
- X-Auth-Request-User
- X-Auth-Request-Token (the large ID token)
- X-User-Groups, X-User-Roles (if configured)
- When minimalHeaders: true: Reduces header overhead
- X-Forwarded-User (always set)
- X-User-Groups, X-User-Roles (still forwarded if configured)
- Custom templated headers (still processed)
- Skipped: X-Auth-Request-Token, X-Auth-Request-User, X-Auth-Request-Redirect
Fixes issues #64 and #86
* Size computation for allocation may overflow
Performing calculations involving the size of potentially large strings or slices can result in an overflow (for signed integer types) or a wraparound (for unsigned types). An overflow causes the result of the calculation to become negative, while a wraparound results in a small (positive) number.
When introspection explicitly returns that a token is inactive/revoked/expired, the plugin now properly triggers re-authentication or refresh instead of falling back to ID token validation. This fixes the functional issue where users
weren't being redirected to re-authenticate.
Redis change ensures that when the caller's context is cancelled (e.g., the 200ms timeout in UniversalCache.Get()), the operation aborts quickly instead of continuing with retries.

* Speed improvements.
After introduction of introspection the plugin became significantly slower.
This commit introduces several optimizations to bring the speed back up.
* Add relevant documentation and tests.
* Automatic discovery of the scopes.
Issue #61 raised very valid concerns about users configuring scopes that are not supported by the provider.
This change introduces automatic discovery of supported scopes by fetching the provider's discovery document and filtering out unsupported scopes.
Before:
User configures: scopes: ["openid", "profile", "email", "offline_access"]
Self-hosted GitLab: "The requested scope is invalid, unknown, or malformed"
Authentication: ❌ FAILS
After:
User configures: scopes: ["openid", "profile", "email", "offline_access"]
Middleware checks discovery doc → offline_access not supported
Automatically filters to: ["openid", "profile", "email"]
Authentication: ✅ SUCCEEDS
* Resolves issue #74 by enabling user to specify expected audience in the configuration.

* Issue #53: Fix CSRF token handling in reverse proxy
1. ✅ HTTPS Detection Fixed (session.go:723)
- Now uses X-Forwarded-Proto header instead of r.URL.Scheme
- Properly detects HTTPS in reverse proxy environments
2. ✅ SameSite Cookie Attribute Fixed
- Removed automatic SameSiteStrictMode for HTTPS (would break OAuth)
- Keeps SameSiteLaxMode to allow OAuth callbacks from external domains
- Only uses Strict for AJAX requests which don't involve OAuth redirects
3. ✅ Cookie Domain Handling Fixed
- Now respects X-Forwarded-Host header for cookie domain
- Ensures cookies are set for the public domain, not internal proxy domain
4. ✅ EnhanceSessionSecurity Properly Integrated
- Function is now actually called during session save
- Applies security enhancements without breaking OAuth flow
Why Issue #53 Failed Before:
1. Cookies were not marked Secure in HTTPS environments (browser wouldn't send them back)
2. If they had been Secure with SameSite=Strict, Azure callbacks would still fail
3. Cookie domain might have been wrong (internal vs public domain)
Why It Works Now:
1. Cookies are properly marked Secure for HTTPS
2. Uses SameSite=Lax to allow OAuth provider callbacks
3. Cookie domain uses public domain from X-Forwarded-Host
4. CSRF token persists through the entire OAuth flow
