feat: support OIDC flows for apps #3216

hperl · 2023-04-06T07:23:56Z

Flow for Kratos AppAuth

Call createNativeLoginFlow to create a flow of type api, and request a session token exchange code
Kratos sends flow ID, the session token exchange code, and the SSO URL to the app
App opens the SSO URL in the native browser
Browser opens the SSO URL, the authorization endpoint takes the user through authentication and consent
The authorization endpoint redirects to the callback url (for example https://nostalgic-cori-rxgved3nrs.projects.oryapis.com/self-service/methods/oidc/callback/google), containing the authorization code
The browser opens that URL. Kratos exchanges the authorization code for an identity token, and invokes the redirect (through the post-login redirect) to an URL registered to be handled by the app (Android App links or iOS Universal links)
7a. Upon receiving the URL, the app can retrieve the session token at /self-service/exchange-code-for-session-token&code=<session token exchange code>
7b. If the app can't receive a deep link (for example, if we are simulating the app on the web), then the app can also poll /self-service/exchange-code-for-session-token&code=<session token exchange code> and wait for a 200 status code with the session.

Security Considerations

During the authentication process we need to ensure that the following entities are all under the same control:

A1: The app that started the flow
B1: The browser that performs the authentication with the OIDC provider
B2: The browser that performs the OIDC callback with Kratos
A2: The app that fetches the session token

For example, it should not be possible for an attacker to start a flow, trick a victim into performing the authentication with the OIDC provider, and then be able to fetch the session token in the name of the victim.

We ensure that A1, A2, B1, B2 are under the same control as follows:

The initial_session_token_exchange_code binds A1 and A2 by generating in when the flow starts and requiring it in exchange for the session token
The OIDC state parameter binds B1 and B2 by deriving the state from the flow ID and the hashed code, which guarantees that no attacker can forge the state for B2
The return_to_code binds B2 and A2 by redirecting the browser to the specified and whitelisted return_to URL and including the code in a query parameter.

It then follows that A1, A2, B1, B2 are all under the same control

Very nice & clean, I have a few remarks. One question is whether we should add some tests to the oidc go test suite. It's a bit of duplication because we test the same thing in e2e, but those tests execute faster and are easier to debug / step through if something breaks

Do we need the non-empty assertions when the parameters are provided?

Is this not missing an index? Have you checked whether querying this scans excessive rows?

Do we need the non-empty assertions when the parameters are provided?

This is only a precaution that we never fetch from empty credentials.

Is this not missing an index? Have you checked whether querying this scans excessive rows?

The index should be this: CREATE INDEX session_token_exchanges_nid_code_idx ON session_token_exchanges (init_code, nid);. I didn't verify this with EXPLAIN though.

But that's missing return_to_code, no?

I now verified through EXPLAIN that everything works as expected:

Fetch by flow ID

explain select * from session_token_exchanges where nid = '212e6a8b-8a8f-4e30-b1e2-99b8478d773b' and flow_id = '7cf7bca9-f94e-41a8-8b8c-cb213b8b9cd9' and init_code <> '' and return_to_code <> '' and session_id is not null;

Index Scan using session_token_exchanges_nid_flow_id_idx on session_token_exchanges (cost=0.14..8.17 rows=1 width=372) Index Cond: ((flow_id = '7cf7bca9-f94e-41a8-8b8c-cb213b8b9cd9'::uuid) AND (nid = '212e6a8b-8a8f-4e30-b1e2-99b8478d773b'::uuid)) Filter: ((session_id IS NOT NULL) AND ((init_code)::text <> ''::text) AND ((return_to_code)::text <> ''::text))

Fetch by code

explain select * from session_token_exchanges where nid = '212e6a8b-8a8f-4e30-b1e2-99b8478d773b' and init_code = '5JxAMjfYsOCQNwsEyPoXfbC3u0Dbqb6TyGoB7z9now0BPNaJt4itcqecYr9YSR4t' and init_code <> '' and return_to_code = '3bkURN1fYEN2PtfvdE3juvUHC6XAzmcQufvHfbQ8gWSRa85j8kpvnyBh2gvmI9q7' and return_to_code <> '' and session_id is not null;

Index Scan using session_token_exchanges_nid_code_idx on session_token_exchanges (cost=0.14..8.17 rows=1 width=372) Index Cond: (((init_code)::text = '5JxAMjfYsOCQNwsEyPoXfbC3u0Dbqb6TyGoB7z9now0BPNaJt4itcqecYr9YSR4t'::text) AND (nid = '212e6a8b-8a8f-4e30-b1e2-99b8478d773b'::uuid)) Filter: ((session_id IS NOT NULL) AND ((return_to_code)::text <> ''::text) AND ((return_to_code)::text = '3bkURN1fYEN2PtfvdE3juvUHC6XAzmcQufvHfbQ8gWSRa85j8kpvnyBh2gvmI9q7'::text))

In both cases, the index is used first to narrow down the rows. Since (nid, flow_id) and (nid, init_code) both narrow down the row to a single result, the remaining filter is very fast. Adding more fields to the indices would not improve performance.

+		if err != nil {
+			return nil, nil, errors.WithStack(herodot.ErrInternalServerError.WithWrap(err))


Why not just return err - wrapping it here will probably lose some context?

As the user can't do anything about this we should return a 500 code. Is this always the case when we don't wrap? If so, I can remove the wrapping.

In the future, this endpoint may support other token exchanges as well. Should we somehow prefix / clarify what code you're exchanging here?

I'm not sure what other usages you think of here. If there are other types of tokens, wouldn't this be a different end point? It would probably be easier to reason about the security then?

I wanted to execute the tests to check the flow end-to-end, but I was not able to do so, because of:

% npm run playwright

> @ory/kratos-e2e-suite@0.0.1 playwright
> playwright test

ReferenceError: Cypress is not defined

   at cypress/helpers/index.ts:43

  41 |   new DOMParser().parseFromString(html, "text/html")

How can I execute the tests?

Additionally I found the code in the react app a bit confusing. I kind of would have expected the code to be more obvious, but it's hiding behind several nested function calls that are relatively deep in the stack trace.

This made it difficult to do a final end-to-end review. It would be really helpful if there was a simple Makefile command (or something similar) to get the playwright tests started!

The entry point to the OIDC handling in the native app is the 422 error returned by Kratos. @jonas-jonas told me that you discussed this with him as a means to signal to the native app that it needs to get a browser involved. If you have ideas to improve the code lets meet here: ory/kratos-selfservice-ui-react-native#69

This made it difficult to do a final end-to-end review. It would be really helpful if there was a simple Makefile command (or something similar) to get the playwright tests started!

I added a make target. You can now run the Playwright tests with

RN_UI_PATH="path/to/kratos-selfservice-ui-react-native" make test-e2e-playwright

(env var needed until ory/kratos-selfservice-ui-react-native#69 is merged)

Maragues · 2023-04-24T16:13:58Z

The entry point to the OIDC handling in the native app is the 422 error returned by Kratos.

Sorry to show out of the blue, but from client perspective a 422 forces us to handle things in a weird way. I'm using this PR to implement our OIDC login, but since there's no java client yet, we are doing raw calls with retrofit.

Given this definition

@Headers("Content-Type: application/json")
@POST("self-service/login")
fun getSocialSignInUrl(@Query("flow") flowId: String, @Body body: SocialSignInBody): Call<SocialSignInUrlResponse>

It's normally straightforward to get the response body through

response.body()

But because you are returning a 422 error code, Retrofit doesn't attempt to parse the body and encapsulates everything on errorBody, which forces me to parse it manually

return when (response.code()) {
                422 -> {
                    val errorBody = response.errorBody().string()

                    RetrofitClientFactory.gson.fromJson(errorBody, SocialSignInUrlResponse::class.java)
                }

                else -> throw ...
}

This won't affect your java client because you parse everything manually, but my two cents as an android developer.

I hope this gives you more information and maybe you reconsider using an error code on a successful response.

aeneasr · 2023-04-25T01:23:49Z

Some of the tests are failing for me:

Fruthermore, as far as I understand we now have two codes:

One code is returned by createNativeFlow
Second code is returned as part of return URL

We need both codes to complete the flow - is that correct?

Yes that's correct.

Code-wise this looks great to me. E2e just straight up fail for me locally. But probably an issue on my machine.

spec/api.json

is the response code for the registration flow handler missing here?

Your comment lost it's link to the source code. What is the issue here?

I was just wondering whether the (current) 422 response from the registration handler is documented in the open api doc.
