What changed

  • Codex signed in with ChatGPT, and Grok, send a JWT sign-in token as their Authorization: Bearer header, and Pipelock blocked those requests under its JWT rule once the traffic was intercepted. Pipelock now releases that finding only for an HTTPS Authorization: Bearer header sent to the client's own API (chatgpt.com under /backend-api/, api.x.ai and cli-chat-proxy.grok.com under /v1/) when the token's issuer and client ID match that client. Sources are listed in docs/security/provider-key-dlp-coverage.md.
  • The token still blocks on any other host, path, header, query or body, and when its issuer or client ID don't match. Other secrets in the same header still block. WebSocket (wss) targets aren't covered.

Follows #2138, which did the same for Claude Code.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Credential scanning now allows qualifying sign-in Bearer tokens for ChatGPT, xAI, and the Grok CLI proxy on designated HTTPS endpoints. Tokens must match the required host, path, header format, issuer, and client ID.
    • Matching issuer and client ID claims do not verify a token’s signature.
  • Documentation
    • Updated security coverage guidance with supported sign-in endpoints, matching conditions, and limitations.

Codex CLI signed in with ChatGPT and the xAI Grok CLI client send an OAuth access token, a JWT, as the Authorization bearer. With TLS interception on, the JWT pattern blocked every such request. The JWT match is now filtered only as the whole Bearer value over HTTPS at chatgpt.com/backend-api, api.x.ai/v1 or cli-chat-proxy.grok.com/v1, when the token's iss and client_id claims name that provider's published issuer and client.
The sign-in bearer tests did not fail when the scheme check or the
header-shape check was removed, and nothing exercised the request-header
scan with the joined-header copy. Add direct cases for a wss target and
malformed Authorization values, and a request-header scan test that runs
the Codex header set in both header modes.

Walkthrough

The credential-audience filter now permits qualifying sign-in Bearer JWTs for registered provider endpoints. Tests cover route, claim, scheme, and header conditions. The security coverage documentation describes the endpoints and requirements.

Changes: Provider sign-in Bearer filtering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Register and apply sign-in routes
internal/scanner/credential_signin.go, internal/scanner/credential_audience.go
The scanner registers provider routes and checks candidate JWTs against the required header surface, HTTPS target, path, issuer, and client ID before allowing an audience match. It does not verify JWT signatures.
Validate and document route behavior
internal/scanner/credential_signin_test.go, internal/proxy/credential_signin_test.go, docs/security/provider-key-dlp-coverage.md
Scanner and proxy tests cover accepted and rejected tokens. The documentation lists the endpoints and filtering requirements.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

The change is mergeable with bounded test follow-up: strengthen Grok claim-rejection and allowance assertions. The encoded-token regression cases remain blocked.

Explanation

The title names the main change: the scanner now allows Codex and Grok sign-in bearer tokens to reach their own APIs. The raw summary shows the new sign-in bearer routing in internal/scanner/credential_signin.go, the audience filter change in credential_audience.go, the matching tests, and the coverage doc. The PR objectives describe the same change and the same destinations (chatgpt.com under /backend-api/, api.x.ai and cli-chat-proxy.grok.com under /v1/). The title is specific and in scope, so it passes.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 62.50% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 8 functions across 4 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Codecov Report

✅ All modified and coverable lines are covered by tests.

📢 Thoughts on this report? Let us know!

The sign-in allowance read its claims from the whole Authorization value, so a token found only in a decoded view of that value could borrow the claims of a genuine sign-in token beside it. The allowance now applies only to a match in the raw or whitespace-joined value.

…tory

The provider coverage doc cites the Codex and CLIProxyAPI tags its sign-in routes were sourced from. Register them as fixed third-party source versions so the release version gate does not read them as Pipelock releases.
Cover a base64-encoded foreign JWT next to a qualifying sign-in token as well as the percent-encoded one, and assert the JWT finding itself is kept rather than any other block.

- Around line 54-55: Add Grok Bearer JWT cases to the proxy header test table
alongside the existing authorization-only case, covering both api.x.ai and
cli-chat-proxy.grok.com in both header modes. Ensure the cases exercise the full
proxy header scan and expect matching requests to pass.
- Line 60: Add a negative case to the proxy-header test table for a request to
https://chatgpt.com/upload, using the existing Authorization and User-Agent
headers and expecting the same false outcomes as the other rejected cases. Keep
the host unchanged so the test exercises rejection based on a path outside
/backend-api during the full joined-header scan.
- Line 59: Add a case to the proxy header-scan test table using signInTestJWT to
create a token with the Codex issuer and a different client_id. Set the expected
result to reflect rejection by the full proxy scan, so the test isolates the
client ID check while keeping the issuer unchanged.
- Line 70: Strengthen the “unrelated secret beside token” test case to assert
that result.DLPMatches contains an AWS Access ID finding, in addition to its
existing JWT checks, so the test fails if the AWS finding is dropped.

Run both Grok sign-in routes, a Codex issuer with another client ID and a chatgpt.com path outside the backend API through the full request-header scan, and assert the AWS finding itself survives beside a sign-in token.

…aim mismatches

A clean header scan alone would also pass if the scan were skipped, so every clean case now requires a JWT Token allowance for its destination. Add wrong-client and wrong-issuer Grok tokens at both Grok routes.
