From 123bcf5faa6d6963862a33489b2d678d6ef3c137 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Edouard CHIN Date: Thu, 6 Jun 2019 17:50:31 +0200 Subject: Introduce a new ActiveSupport::SecureCompareRotator class: - This class is used to rotate a previously determined value to a new one before making the comparions. We use this at Shopify to rotate Basic Auth crendials but I can imagine other use cases. The implementation uses the same `Messages::Rotator` module than the MessageEncryptor/MessageVerifier class so it works exactly the same way. You can use it as follow: ```ruby rotator = ActiveSupport::SecureCompareRotator.new('new_production_value') rotator.rotate('previous_production_value') rotator.secure_compare!('previous_production_value') ``` --- .../lib/active_support/secure_compare_rotator.rb | 52 ++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 52 insertions(+) create mode 100644 activesupport/lib/active_support/secure_compare_rotator.rb (limited to 'activesupport/lib') diff --git a/activesupport/lib/active_support/secure_compare_rotator.rb b/activesupport/lib/active_support/secure_compare_rotator.rb new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..14a0aee947 --- /dev/null +++ b/activesupport/lib/active_support/secure_compare_rotator.rb @@ -0,0 +1,52 @@ +# frozen_string_literal: true + +require "active_support/security_utils" +require "active_support/messages/rotator" + +module ActiveSupport + # The ActiveSupport::SecureCompareRotator is a wrapper around +ActiveSupport::SecurityUtils.secure_compare+ + # and allows you to rotate a previously defined value to a new one. + # + # It can be used as follow: + # + # rotator = ActiveSupport::SecureCompareRotator.new('new_production_value') + # rotator.rotate('previous_production_value') + # rotator.secure_compare!('previous_production_value') + # + # One real use case example would be to rotate a basic auth credentials: + # + # class MyController < ApplicationController + # def authenticate_request + # rotator = ActiveSupport::SecureComparerotator.new('new_password') + # rotator.rotate('old_password') + # + # authenticate_or_request_with_http_basic do |username, password| + # rotator.secure_compare!(password) + # rescue ActiveSupport::SecureCompareRotator::InvalidMatch + # false + # end + # end + # end + class SecureCompareRotator + include SecurityUtils + prepend Messages::Rotator + + InvalidMatch = Class.new(StandardError) + + def initialize(value, **_options) + @value = value + end + + def secure_compare!(other_value, on_rotation: @rotation) + secure_compare(@value, other_value) || + run_rotations(on_rotation) { |wrapper| wrapper.secure_compare!(other_value) } || + raise(InvalidMatch) + end + + private + + def build_rotation(previous_value, _options) + self.class.new(previous_value) + end + end +end -- cgit v1.2.3
