# ADR-003: PKCE Support Deferred to v1.1.0
|
||||
|
||||
Date: 2025-11-20
|
||||
|
||||
## Status
|
||||
Accepted
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange, RFC 7636) is a security extension to OAuth 2.0 that protects against authorization code interception attacks. It works by having the client generate a random secret, send a hash of it during the authorization request, and prove knowledge of the original secret during token exchange.
|
||||
|
||||
### PKCE Security Benefits
|
||||
1. **Code Interception Protection**: Even if an attacker intercepts the authorization code, they cannot exchange it for a token without the code_verifier
|
||||
2. **Public Client Security**: Essential for native apps and SPAs where client secrets cannot be stored securely
|
||||
3. **Best Practice**: OAuth 2.0 Security Best Practices (draft-ietf-oauth-security-topics) recommends PKCE for all clients
|
||||
|
||||
### W3C IndieAuth Specification
|
||||
The current W3C IndieAuth specification (published January 2018) does not mention PKCE. However, PKCE has become a standard security measure in modern OAuth 2.0 implementations since then.
|
||||
|
||||
### v1.0.0 Constraints
|
||||
For the MVP release, we face a simplicity vs. security trade-off:
|
||||
- Target users: 10s of users initially
|
||||
- Deployment: Single-process Docker container
|
||||
- Timeline: 6-8 weeks to v1.0.0
|
||||
- Focus: Prove core authentication functionality
|
||||
|
||||
### PKCE Implementation Effort
|
||||
**Estimated effort**: 1-2 days
|
||||
|
||||
**Required changes**:
|
||||
1. Accept `code_challenge` and `code_challenge_method` parameters in /authorize endpoint
|
||||
2. Store code challenge with authorization code
|
||||
3. Accept `code_verifier` parameter in /token endpoint
|
||||
4. Validate code_verifier hashes to stored challenge using S256 method
|
||||
5. Update metadata endpoint to advertise PKCE support
|
||||
6. Add comprehensive tests
|
||||
|
||||
**Complexity**:
|
||||
- Low technical complexity (straightforward hashing and comparison)
|
||||
- Well-documented in RFC 7636
|
||||
- Standard library support (hashlib for SHA-256)
|
||||
|
||||
## Decision
|
||||
|
||||
**PKCE support is deferred to v1.1.0 and will NOT be included in v1.0.0.**
|
||||
|
||||
### Rationale
|
||||
|
||||
**Simplicity Over Complexity**:
|
||||
- v1.0.0 is an MVP focused on proving core authentication functionality
|
||||
- Every additional feature increases risk and development time
|
||||
- PKCE adds security but is not required for the W3C IndieAuth specification compliance
|
||||
- Deferring PKCE reduces v1.0.0 scope without compromising compliance
|
||||
|
||||
**Acceptable Risk for MVP**:
|
||||
- Target deployment: Small scale (10s of users), controlled environment
|
||||
- Mitigation: HTTPS enforcement + short code lifetime (10 minutes) + single-use codes
|
||||
- Risk window: 10-minute authorization code lifetime only
|
||||
- Attack complexity: Requires MITM during specific 10-minute window despite HTTPS
|
||||
|
||||
**Clear Upgrade Path**:
|
||||
- PKCE can be added in v1.1.0 without breaking changes
|
||||
- Implementation is well-understood and straightforward
|
||||
- Clients that don't use PKCE will continue working (backward compatible)
|
||||
|
||||
**Development Focus**:
|
||||
- Free up 1-2 days of effort for core functionality
|
||||
- Reduce testing surface area for MVP
|
||||
- Simplify initial security review
|
||||
- Gather real-world usage data before adding complexity
|
||||
|
||||
## Consequences
|
||||
|
||||
### Positive Consequences
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Faster Time to Market**: v1.0.0 ships 1-2 days earlier
|
||||
2. **Reduced Complexity**: Fewer parameters to validate, fewer edge cases
|
||||
3. **Simpler Testing**: Smaller test surface area for initial release
|
||||
4. **Focus**: Development effort concentrated on core authentication flow
|
||||
5. **Learning Opportunity**: Real-world usage informs PKCE implementation in v1.1.0
|
||||
|
||||
### Negative Consequences
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Slightly Reduced Security**: Authorization codes vulnerable to interception (mitigated by HTTPS)
|
||||
2. **Not Best Practice**: Modern OAuth 2.0 guidance recommends PKCE for all flows
|
||||
3. **Client Compatibility**: Clients requiring PKCE cannot use v1.0.0 (upgrade to v1.1.0)
|
||||
4. **Perception**: Security-conscious users may view absence as weakness
|
||||
|
||||
### Mitigation Strategies
|
||||
|
||||
**For v1.0.0 (Without PKCE)**:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Enforce HTTPS**: Strictly enforce HTTPS in production (mitigates interception)
|
||||
```python
|
||||
if not DEBUG and request.url.scheme != 'https':
|
||||
raise HTTPException(status_code=400, detail="HTTPS required")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Short Code Lifetime**: 10-minute maximum (per W3C spec)
|
||||
```python
|
||||
CODE_EXPIRATION = timedelta(minutes=10) # Minimize attack window
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Single-Use Codes**: Immediately invalidate after use (detect replay attacks)
|
||||
```python
|
||||
if code_data.get('used'):
|
||||
logger.error(f"Code replay attack detected: {code[:8]}...")
|
||||
raise HTTPException(status_code=400, detail="invalid_grant")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Documentation**: Clearly document PKCE absence and planned support
|
||||
- README security section
|
||||
- Release notes
|
||||
- Roadmap (v1.1.0 feature)
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Logging**: Monitor for potential code interception attempts
|
||||
```python
|
||||
if code_expired:
|
||||
logger.warning(f"Expired code presented: {code[:8]}... (potential attack)")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**For v1.1.0 (Adding PKCE)**:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Backward Compatibility**: PKCE optional, not required
|
||||
- Clients without PKCE continue working
|
||||
- Clients with PKCE get enhanced security
|
||||
- Gradual migration path
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Client Detection**: Detect PKCE capability and encourage usage
|
||||
```python
|
||||
if code_challenge is None:
|
||||
logger.info(f"Client {client_id} not using PKCE (consider upgrading)")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Future Enforcement**: Option to require PKCE in configuration
|
||||
```python
|
||||
if config.REQUIRE_PKCE and not code_challenge:
|
||||
raise HTTPException(status_code=400, detail="PKCE required")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Implementation Plan for v1.1.0
|
||||
|
||||
**Effort**: 1-2 days
|
||||
|
||||
**Changes Required**:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Authorization Endpoint** (`/authorize`):
|
||||
```python
|
||||
class AuthorizeRequest(BaseModel):
|
||||
# ... existing fields ...
|
||||
code_challenge: Optional[str] = None
|
||||
code_challenge_method: Optional[Literal["S256"]] = None
|
||||
|
||||
# Validation
|
||||
if code_challenge and code_challenge_method != "S256":
|
||||
raise HTTPException(400, "Only S256 challenge method supported")
|
||||
|
||||
# Store challenge with code
|
||||
code_data = {
|
||||
# ... existing data ...
|
||||
"code_challenge": code_challenge,
|
||||
"code_challenge_method": code_challenge_method
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Token Endpoint** (`/token`):
|
||||
```python
|
||||
class TokenRequest(BaseModel):
|
||||
# ... existing fields ...
|
||||
code_verifier: Optional[str] = None
|
||||
|
||||
# Validate PKCE
|
||||
if code_data.get('code_challenge'):
|
||||
if not code_verifier:
|
||||
raise HTTPException(400, "code_verifier required")
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify S256(code_verifier) == code_challenge
|
||||
import hashlib
|
||||
import base64
|
||||
computed = base64.urlsafe_b64encode(
|
||||
hashlib.sha256(code_verifier.encode()).digest()
|
||||
).decode().rstrip('=')
|
||||
|
||||
if not secrets.compare_digest(computed, code_data['code_challenge']):
|
||||
raise HTTPException(400, "Invalid code_verifier")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Metadata Endpoint**:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"code_challenge_methods_supported": ["S256"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Tests**:
|
||||
- PKCE flow success cases
|
||||
- Invalid code_verifier rejection
|
||||
- Missing code_verifier when challenge present
|
||||
- Backward compatibility (no PKCE)
|
||||
|
||||
### Risk Assessment
|
||||
|
||||
**Attack Scenario Without PKCE**:
|
||||
1. Attacker performs MITM attack on authorization redirect (despite HTTPS)
|
||||
2. Attacker intercepts authorization code
|
||||
3. Attacker exchanges code for token (within 10-minute window)
|
||||
4. Attacker uses token to impersonate user
|
||||
|
||||
**Likelihood**: Very Low
|
||||
- Requires MITM capability (difficult with proper TLS)
|
||||
- Requires attack during specific 10-minute window
|
||||
- Requires client_id and redirect_uri knowledge
|
||||
|
||||
**Impact**: High
|
||||
- Complete account impersonation
|
||||
- Access to user's identity
|
||||
|
||||
**Risk Level**: **Low** (Very Low likelihood × High impact = Low overall risk)
|
||||
|
||||
**Acceptable for MVP?**: Yes
|
||||
- Controlled deployment (small user base)
|
||||
- Proper TLS mitigates primary attack vector
|
||||
- Short code lifetime limits exposure window
|
||||
- Clear upgrade path to full PKCE in v1.1.0
|
||||
|
||||
### Monitoring and Review
|
||||
|
||||
**v1.0.0 Deployment**:
|
||||
- Monitor logs for expired code presentations (potential interception attempts)
|
||||
- Track time between code generation and redemption
|
||||
- Document any security concerns from real-world usage
|
||||
|
||||
**v1.1.0 Planning**:
|
||||
- Review security logs from v1.0.0 deployment
|
||||
- Prioritize PKCE based on actual risk observed
|
||||
- Implement with lessons learned from v1.0.0
