fix(auth,realtime,http): an unreadable TOTP secret verified against a code needing no secret - #176
Conversation
… code needing no secret `decodeBase32` answers zero bytes for anything outside the alphabet, and its own comment called that "failed closed". It is the opposite: an HMAC keyed with zero bytes is a perfectly valid HMAC, so `totpCode` derived a six-digit code from no secret at all and every unreadable secret in the table shared that one stream — a code an attacker computes knowing nothing verified against all of them. Zero bytes is now refused by both callers that need a key (`totpCode`, `enrolTotp`, `X_MFA_SECRET_INVALID`) and read as a NON-VERDICT by `verifyTotp`, the rule `verifyAgainst` already followed for a stored hash Bun cannot read: a broken stored credential is a credential refusal, never a 500 that answers "this account's secret is malformed" to whoever asked. - `realtime/subscriber-gate`: `patch()` returned a delete unconditionally, so a row a subscriber's own `visible` rule had never let them see arrived on their socket the instant someone else deleted it — the row id and the deletion time, across tenants. - `realtime/changefeed`: `#deliver` chained the next delivery on the LIVE tail, so one rejected link poisoned every link behind it — later changes rejected with the FIRST error, the handler was never called again and `lastLsn()` froze, silently, on a healthy process. Reachable on any single-node deployment: `createReplicator`'s `onChange` awaits `transport.publish(...)` and a closed `InProcessTransport` refuses, so one transient publish failure ended change delivery for the life of the process. It chains on a settled shadow now, the shape `window-lock.ts` already used, and order is unchanged. - `http/error-map`: `X_MFA_SECRET_INVALID` is 422 — `enrolTotp` throws it for a value the CALLER supplied, so what failed is that value's content, not the server.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The MFA changes can expose a submitted TOTP secret through error details, creating a high-impact security risk that should be fixed before merge. The realtime changes also include a hardcoded client-facing close reason requiring owner follow-up, while the delivery and visibility fixes are otherwise bounded. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Do not accept caller-controlled text in mfaSecretInvalid.
Line 195 interpolates surface into cause. packages/auth/src/index.ts exports this factory publicly at Line 77. A consumer can pass a TOTP secret as surface, and error logging can expose it.
Remove the parameter and use a fixed cause. Update the two internal call sites.

Add the required responsibility header before imports.
packages/auth/src/mfa.test.ts starts with imports at Line 1. Add a 1–4 line header comment before them. State the test file responsibility and why these regression tests exist.
Based on learnings, “place the responsibility header before all import statements.” As per coding guidelines, “Add a 1–4 line header comment to each file stating its single responsibility.” As per path instructions, “Header comment states the module's single responsibility in 1-4 lines and explains WHY, never what.”

Tier 2–3 slice of a bug sweep. Two of these are security bugs.
MFA: zero bytes is not "failed closed"
decodeBase32answers zero bytes for any character outside RFC 4648 base32, and the function'sown comment described that as failing closed. It is the opposite — an HMAC keyed with zero bytes is
a perfectly valid HMAC.
totpCodederived a six-digit code from no secret at all, so everyunreadable secret in the table verified against one shared code stream that an attacker can compute
without knowing anything.
The fix splits the answer by who is asking:
enrolTotp,totpCodeX_MFA_SECRET_INVALID(new; row added towiki/Error-Codes.md,422inhttp's status map). Only an imported secret reaches it; a minted one is readable by constructionverifyTotpverifyAgainstalready follows for a stored password hash Bun cannot read. A coded throw out of a verify path is a 500 where a credential refusal belongs, and it tells whoever asked that this account's secret is malformeddecodeBase32itselfenrolTotpasks about a value it has not accepted yetRealtime: a delete leaked rows the subscriber could never see

Realtime: one transient publish failure ended change delivery for the life of the process

changefeed.test.ts(new) pins both halves: the poisoning is gone and ordering, theone guarantee the chain exists for, is not spent to get it.
