What changed

  • The provider sign-in bearer allowance added in fix(scanner): allow Codex and Grok sign-in bearers to their own APIs #2159 now requires the built-in JWT pattern's own carrier, so a custom pattern that reuses the name "JWT Token" doesn't inherit it. Replacing the built-in by name on reload revokes the allowance, and restoring the defaults brings it back.
  • Sign-in and registry bearer allowances now apply only when the matched token is the whole bearer value in the Authorization header.
  • The carrier is part of the policy, so the default canonical policy hash changes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Sign-in and registry bearer-token allowances now apply only to the exact matched token; malformed or unrelated credentials remain blocked.
    • Sign-in bearer checks validate the token, destination, and claims. Custom JWT patterns do not receive the built-in allowance, and replacing the built-in pattern disables it until restored.
    • Credential scanning preserves findings for other secrets in the same header.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified how sign-in bearer-token claims and destination restrictions affect routing.

Walkthrough

The credential carrier mask widens to 32 bits, and the JWT pattern gains a sign-in bearer carrier. Scanner allowances now bind to the exact token matched by DLP, and joined-header scrubbing evaluates each match separately. Tests cover malformed bearer headers, custom-pattern reloads, registry tokens, and updated hash fixtures.

Changes: Bearer audience validation

The carrier mask changes from 16 to 32 bits, and the JWT pattern adds the sign-in bearer carrier. Related compiled-audience assertions and canonical hash fixtures are updated.

Scanner candidates record a SHA-256 identity for the matched credential. Sign-in and registry bearer checks require the header token to match that identity. Joined-header scrubbing checks each match individually. Scanner and proxy tests cover malformed headers, custom patterns, and reloads.

The bearer restrictions are narrowly scoped, but a rare overlapping xAI token can incorrectly trigger DLP enforcement. Mergeable with owner awareness of this deferred false-positive issue.

Explanation

The title names the main change: the sign-in bearer allowance is now bound to the built-in core JWT pattern. The raw summary confirms this. The carrier mask is widened to uint32, the new SignInBearer carrier is assigned only to the built-in JWT Token pattern, and the scanner checks that carrier instead of the pattern name. Registry allowances and scrubbing changes are secondary and fit under the scanner-scope prefix. The title is concise, specific, and follows the conventional-commit style.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 42.86% 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 21 functions across 16 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

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

Comment thread internal/scanner/credential_audience.go Resolved
Each JWT-shaped match reparsed and rehashed the whole Authorization value, so a large value with many matches cost matches x length. Parse it once per header value and share the result; a candidate without a shared parse still parses on demand.

Comment thread internal/scanner/scanner.go Resolved
The sign-in bearer rule compares unverified iss and client_id claims, so
a token from another issuer that copies them passes; it still reaches
only the listed host and path.
