Motivation

  • Close a denial-of-service vector where Nous OAuth handlers used response.json() on untrusted provider responses, allowing oversized/malicious bodies to exhaust process memory.
  • Reuse the repository's existing bounded-body utility to enforce a safe byte ceiling for OAuth flows and keep the single-use refresh-intent fail-closed behavior intact.

Description

  • Add readOAuthJson / readOAuthJsonOrEmpty which use readBoundedResponseBytes and BOUNDED_BODY_MAX_BYTES to read OAuth response bodies under a strict byte limit and strict UTF-8 decode, and surface a NousTokenError with oauthError: "response_too_large" on oversize.
  • Replace direct response.json() calls in the Nous OAuth paths (requestDeviceAuthorization, pollForToken, and refreshNousToken) with the bounded reader for both success and error paths so bodies are validated before parsing.
  • Preserve the existing fail-closed refresh-intent semantics by marking intents uncertain on ambiguous outcomes and refusing replay when the bounded reader rejects a response.
  • Add regression tests in tests/nous-oauth.test.ts asserting oversized device-authorization, device-token polling, and refresh responses are rejected by the bounded reader and that the refresh replay guard remains effective.
  • Import the bounded-body symbols via import { BOUNDED_BODY_MAX_BYTES, readBoundedResponseBytes } from "../lib/bounded-body" and wire them into the Nous code paths in src/oauth/nous.ts.

Testing

  • Ran bun test tests/nous-oauth.test.ts and observed all Nous OAuth tests pass (53 passed, 0 failed).
  • Ran bun run typecheck and bun run privacy:scan which were clean.
  • Attempted a full bun run test; the full-suite run hit unrelated pre-existing failures/timeouts in other subsystems and was not used to block this focused regression, but the targeted Nous tests and typecheck/privacy scans passed.

Codex Task

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • OAuth responses are now safely limited in size and validated as UTF-8.
    • Oversized or malformed responses return a clear OAuth error instead of being processed.
    • Refresh-token requests with oversized responses no longer allow the submitted token to be replayed.
    • Empty or invalid response payloads are handled safely across device authorization, polling, and refresh flows.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

OAuth device authorization, device polling, and refresh flows now use bounded UTF-8 response parsing. Oversized responses return response_too_large, and refresh tokens remain blocked after oversized refresh failures.

Changes

OAuth response bounds

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bounded OAuth response reader
src/oauth/nous.ts
Adds bounded response utilities and JSON readers that reject oversized bodies and handle parsing failures with empty payloads where required.
OAuth flow integration and validation
src/oauth/nous.ts, tests/nous-oauth.test.ts
Device authorization, device polling, and refresh flows use bounded parsing. Refresh failures preserve uncertain-token handling. Tests cover oversized success and error responses, including refresh-token replay blocking.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to f02ae

The change bounds Nous OAuth response bodies, but a valid JSON null response can still trigger an unexpected TypeError during device authorization instead of the intended validation error. This is a localized correctness risk that should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Normalize a valid JSON null before reading required fields.

Line 535 only maps read or parse failures to {}. A valid JSON null reaches payload.user_code and throws a raw TypeError. This bypasses the required-fields error described on Lines 531-534. Normalize the parsed value before the cast, as pollForToken does on Lines 601-602.

Proposed fix
-  const payload = (await readOAuthJsonOrEmpty(response)) as NousDeviceAuthorizationResponse;
+  const parsed = await readOAuthJsonOrEmpty(response);
+  const payload = (parsed && typeof parsed === "object" ? parsed : {}) as NousDeviceAuthorizationResponse;
