shankar0123 2cd2a5c52f harden(oidc): RFC 9207 iss URL parameter check on callback (MED-17)
Audit 2026-05-10 MED-17 closure.

WHAT.

When the matched IdP's discovery doc advertises
authorization_response_iss_parameter_supported=true (RFC 9207 §3),
HandleCallback now REQUIRES a non-empty `iss` query parameter on
/auth/oidc/callback and enforces a constant-time compare against the
configured provider's IssuerURL. Mismatch maps to two new sentinel
errors (ErrIssParamMissing / ErrIssParamMismatch) that the handler's
classifyOIDCFailure dispatches via errors.Is BEFORE the substring
fall-through, so the audit failure_category remains distinguishable
between the RFC 9207 leg (iss_param_missing / iss_param_mismatch) and
the in-token iss claim leg (id_token_iss_mismatch).

WHY.

The RFC 9207 iss URL parameter is the load-bearing mix-up-attack
defense for multi-tenant IdPs (Keycloak realms, Authentik tenants,
Auth0 tenants, public-trust CAs). Pre-fix the parameter was silently
ignored — an attacker controlling one IdP tenant could route an auth
code to certctl's callback against a different tenant's pre-login
state without detection. Modern Keycloak / Authentik / public-trust
CAs ship the discovery flag by default; legacy IdPs that don't
advertise are unaffected (back-compat preserved).

HOW.

- internal/auth/oidc/service.go
  - providerEntry gains issParamSupported bool.
  - getOrLoad extends the discovery-claims read to include
    authorization_response_iss_parameter_supported, alongside the
    existing id_token_signing_alg_values_supported defense.
  - HandleCallback's signature gains callbackIss string at position 5.
    Step 2.5 runs after the state compare + provider load: when
    issParamSupported is true, an empty callbackIss returns
    ErrIssParamMissing; a present-but-mismatched value returns
    ErrIssParamMismatch (constant-time compare).
  - Two new sentinels: ErrIssParamMissing, ErrIssParamMismatch.
    ErrIssuerMismatch's doc-string clarified to note it covers the
    in-token leg only.

- internal/api/handler/auth_session_oidc.go
  - OIDCAuthHandshaker.HandleCallback signature updated.
  - LoginCallback reads r.URL.Query().Get("iss") (no TrimSpace —
    byte-strict compare upstream) and threads it through.
  - classifyOIDCFailure: typed errors.Is dispatch for the three
    iss-family sentinels BEFORE the substring fall-through, so the
    three cases stay distinguishable in the audit row.

- internal/api/handler/auth_session_oidc_test.go
  - stubOIDCSvc.HandleCallback bumped to 7-arg signature.
  - TestClassifyOIDCFailure extended with 5 new cases pinning the
    iss-family dispatch + a wrapped-error round-trip.

- internal/auth/oidc/service_test.go
  - mockIdP gains advertiseIssParameterSupported bool; the
    /.well-known/openid-configuration handler emits the claim only
    when set (so existing tests stay back-compat).
  - 4 new regression tests:
    * MED17_NoSupport_AnyIssAccepted — provider doesn't advertise;
      arbitrary callbackIss is ignored (back-compat).
    * MED17_SupportButMissing — provider advertises; missing iss →
      ErrIssParamMissing.
    * MED17_SupportButMismatch — provider advertises; wrong iss →
      ErrIssParamMismatch (load-bearing mix-up defense).
    * MED17_SupportAndCorrect — provider advertises; matching iss →
      success path proves the gate isn't over-eager.

- internal/auth/oidc/bench_test.go,
  internal/auth/oidc/logging_test.go,
  internal/auth/oidc/integration_keycloak_test.go
  - Mechanical: all existing HandleCallback call sites updated to
    pass "" for callbackIss (matches pre-fix behavior for IdPs that
    don't advertise support — the Keycloak integration suite tests
    will be re-evaluated once the Keycloak fixture is run against a
    realm with the discovery flag enabled).

VERIFY.

- go vet ./internal/auth/oidc/... ./internal/api/handler/...   PASS
- go test -short -count=1 ./internal/auth/oidc/...              PASS (3.4s)
- go test -short -count=1 ./internal/api/handler/...            PASS (5.4s)
- 4 new MED-17 regression tests + extended TestClassifyOIDCFailure pass.
