credential: disallow Carriage Returns in the protocol by default

2024-11-26T19:24:04Z

While Git has documented that the credential protocol is line-based, with newlines as terminators, the exact shape of a newline has not been documented. From Git's perspective, which is firmly rooted in the Linux ecosystem, it is clear that "a newline" means a Line Feed character. However, even Git's credential protocol respects Windows line endings (a Carriage Return character followed by a Line Feed character, "CR/LF") by virtue of using `strbuf_getline()`. There is a third category of line endings that has been used originally by MacOS, and that is respected by the default line readers of .NET and node.js: bare Carriage Returns. Git cannot handle those, and what is worse: Git's remedy against CVE-2020-5260 does not catch when credential helpers are used that interpret bare Carriage Returns as newlines. Git Credential Manager addressed this as CVE-2024-50338, but other credential helpers may still be vulnerable. So let's not only disallow Line Feed characters as part of the values in the credential protocol, but also disallow Carriage Return characters. In the unlikely event that a credential helper relies on Carriage Returns in the protocol, introduce an escape hatch via the `credential.protectProtocol` config setting. This addresses CVE-2024-52006. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin

credential: sanitize the user prompt

2024-11-26T19:24:04Z

When asking the user interactively for credentials, we want to avoid misleading them e.g. via control sequences that pretend that the URL targets a trusted host when it does not. While Git learned, over the course of the preceding commits, to disallow URLs containing URL-encoded control characters by default, credential helpers are still allowed to specify values very freely (apart from Line Feed and NUL characters, anything is allowed), and this would allow, say, a username containing control characters to be specified that would then be displayed in the interactive terminal prompt asking the user for the password, potentially sending those control characters directly to the terminal. This is undesirable because control characters can be used to mislead users to divulge secret information to untrusted sites. To prevent such an attack vector, let's add a `git_prompt()` that forces the displayed text to be sanitized, i.e. displaying question marks instead of control characters. Note: While this commit's diff changes a lot of `user@host` strings to `user%40host`, which may look suspicious on the surface, there is a good reason for that: this string specifies a user name, not a @ combination! In the context of t5541, the actual combination looks like this: `user%40@127.0.0.1:5541`. Therefore, these string replacements document a net improvement introduced by this commit, as `user@host@127.0.0.1` could have left readers wondering where the user name ends and where the host name begins.

credential_format(): also encode [:]

2024-11-26T19:24:00Z

An upcoming change wants to sanitize the credential password prompt where a URL is displayed that may potentially come from a `.gitmodules` file. To this end, the `credential_format()` function is employed. To sanitize the host name (and optional port) part of the URL, we need a new mode of the `strbuf_add_percentencode()` function because the current mode is both too strict and too lenient: too strict because it encodes `:`, `[` and `]` (which should be left unencoded in `:` and in IPv6 addresses), and too lenient because it does not encode invalid host name characters `/`, `_` and `~`. So let's introduce and use a new mode specifically to encode the host name and optional port part of a URI, leaving alpha-numerical characters, periods, colons and brackets alone and encoding all others. This only leads to a change of behavior for URLs that contain invalid host names. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin

credential: mark unused parameter in urlmatch callback

Our select_all() callback does not need to actually look at its parameters, since the point is to match everything. But we need to mark its parameters to satisfy -Wunused-parameter. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

config: add ctx arg to config_fn_t

2023-06-28T21:06:39Z

Add a new "const struct config_context *ctx" arg to config_fn_t to hold additional information about the config iteration operation. config_context has a "struct key_value_info kvi" member that holds metadata about the config source being read (e.g. what kind of config source it is, the filename, etc). In this series, we're only interested in .kvi, so we could have just used "struct key_value_info" as an arg, but config_context makes it possible to add/adjust members in the future without changing the config_fn_t signature. We could also consider other ways of organizing the args (e.g. moving the config name and value into config_context or key_value_info), but in my experiments, the incremental benefit doesn't justify the added complexity (e.g. a config_fn_t will sometimes invoke another config_fn_t but with a different config value). In subsequent commits, the .kvi member will replace the global "struct config_reader" in config.c, making config iteration a global-free operation. It requires much more work for the machinery to provide meaningful values of .kvi, so for now, merely change the signature and call sites, pass NULL as a placeholder value, and don't rely on the arg in any meaningful way. Most of the changes are performed by contrib/coccinelle/config_fn_ctx.pending.cocci, which, for every config_fn_t: - Modifies the signature to accept "const struct config_context *ctx" - Passes "ctx" to any inner config_fn_t, if needed - Adds UNUSED attributes to "ctx", if needed Most config_fn_t instances are easily identified by seeing if they are called by the various config functions. Most of the remaining ones are manually named in the .cocci patch. Manual cleanups are still needed, but the majority of it is trivial; it's either adjusting config_fn_t that the .cocci patch didn't catch, or adding forward declarations of "struct config_context ctx" to make the signatures make sense. The non-trivial changes are in cases where we are invoking a config_fn_t outside of config machinery, and we now need to decide what value of "ctx" to pass. These cases are: - trace2/tr2_cfg.c:tr2_cfg_set_fl() This is indirectly called by git_config_set() so that the trace2 machinery can notice the new config values and update its settings using the tr2 config parsing function, i.e. tr2_cfg_cb(). - builtin/checkout.c:checkout_main() This calls git_xmerge_config() as a shorthand for parsing a CLI arg. This might be worth refactoring away in the future, since git_xmerge_config() can call git_default_config(), which can do much more than just parsing. Handle them by creating a KVI_INIT macro that initializes "struct key_value_info" to a reasonable default, and use that to construct the "ctx" arg.
