security: close sponsor-registration authority bypass - #1505
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe broker now requires sponsor-authenticated registration authority, persists work-unit and incumbent credentials, rejects tokenless spawns, sanitizes child environments, and updates CI and fleet tests to run sponsor-enforced Relaycast engines. ChangesSponsor-bound registration
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR changes registration to require signed sponsor authority and updates CI and test paths, but the current head still has bounded merge-readiness issues: grants may expire during long CI jobs, fleet cleanup can use the wrong authority, PTY tests mutate shared environment unsafely, and CI sponsor proofs are not masked. Merge should wait for these fixes or explicit owner acceptance. Poem

When a broker remains running beyond the sponsor grant's 15-minute lifetime, every later HTTP, action-invoked, or node-control spawn without a supplied agent token reaches this function and fails. The function only rereads the broker's immutable process environment, and the repository contains no path that obtains or installs a refreshed proof, so Chief cannot refresh the grant without restarting the broker; long-lived brokers therefore lose the ability to spawn or reclaim agents after 15 minutes. Wire these registration paths to a refreshable RelayAuth credential source rather than relying on the startup environment.

The grant expires 15 minutes after the setup action runs, but in .github/workflows/package-validation.yml the macOS job invokes that action at lines 261-262 and only runs the registration-dependent standalone smoke at line 345 after npm installation, package builds, a release Rust build, and standalone compilation. On cold runners where those steps exceed 15 minutes, the smoke broker rejects the expired proof even though the product is healthy; mint a fresh grant immediately before the smoke (and similarly before other delayed registration tests).

Raise the pending release level to Major.
This entry describes a fail-closed authority requirement. SECURITY.md states that hosts without an incumbent token or sponsor configuration fail closed rather than falling back. Existing brokers therefore stop registering until operators supply new configuration, which is a breaking user-visible change. Set the heading at line 8 to ## [Unreleased - Major].
As per coding guidelines: "set the appropriate monotonic release level for pending user-visible changes".

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
An empty RELAY_WORKSPACES_JSON fails here but is tolerated elsewhere.
workspace_key_for_id_from_env passes raw.trim() straight to serde_json::from_str, so an empty or whitespace-only value returns an error. load_workspace_sources_from_env (Lines 1086-1092) treats the same value as "unset" and returns Ok(None). The two paths therefore disagree for the same environment.
Treat an empty value as unset so the token bootstrap falls through to env_workspace_key().

Name the remediation when the incumbent cache is rejected.
load_incumbent_credential_cache fails closed on an existing cache that is malformed, is a symlink, or is readable by group or other users. A missing file is tolerated, but an insecure or corrupted file now blocks broker startup permanently. A backup or restore tool that resets the mode to 0644 therefore stops the broker with no obvious recovery step.
The added context here reads "failed to load the broker incumbent credential cache". Extend it with the recovery action so an operator can act without reading the source.

portable-pty 0.8.1 CommandBuilder env_remove Unix SHELL environment source
💡 Result:
In the portable-pty crate (version 0.8.1 and others), the CommandBuilder struct manages environment variables through methods including env, env_remove, and env_clear [1][2]. When using env_remove on a Unix system, the specified environment variable is removed from the set of environment variables that will be passed to the child process [1][3]. If that variable is the SHELL environment variable, removing it will prevent the child process from inheriting the SHELL value from the parent process [1][4]. Note that CommandBuilder has a get_shell method used to determine which shell to run [1]. This method prioritizes the SHELL environment variable; it first checks the contents of $SHELL, and if that is not set, it falls back to looking up the default shell from the system's password database (e.g., via getpwuid on Unix) [1][4]. Consequently, calling env_remove("SHELL") affects the environment provided to the spawned process, but the CommandBuilder's own logic for resolving the default shell will revert to the system password database if the variable is absent [1][4].

Serialize environment-sensitive PTY tests.
On Unix, std::env::set_var and std::env::remove_var are unsafe when another thread can access the environment. Other PTY tests read or mutate TERM, so this test can cause undefined behavior. Cleanup also does not run if spawning or an assertion panics.
Use a dedicated subprocess with Command::env, or serialize environment access and restore the previous value with an RAII guard.

Assert that the variable is unset, not only empty.
${key:-missing} returns missing for both an unset variable and a set-but-empty variable. The test can therefore pass if the child still receives AGENT_RELAY_TEST_PTY_CHILD_SECRET="". Use the non-colon form so an empty variable does not produce the expected missing marker.

A fixed 15-minute sponsor grant is minted before long build phases. Every site pins exp = now + 15 * 60 at mint time and consumes the proof later. CI jobs with Rust, bun, and dependency phases exceed that window, so sponsor-enforced registration fails intermittently.

releaseAgent sends a work-unit key that never matches registerAgent.
registerAgent at line 686 sends fleetAgentAuthority(name), whose work_unit_key is the literal fleet-e2e-agent-${name}-00000000000000000000000000000001. releaseAgent sends fleetNodeAgentAuthority(nodeId, name), which is a SHA-256 derivation from a node root. For an agent created by registerAgent, neither loop iteration presents the registered key, so both deletes fail and the function returns the second failure status.
Two further points:
- The node ids
node_aandnode_bare hardcoded. A caller that uses any other node id gets a silent failure. lastStatus = 409at line 795 is never read, because the loop always assignslastStatus.
Accept the authority from the caller so release presents the same identity that registration used.

The error message and docs claim a "secret work-unit key of at least 32 bytes", but a 32-char key of low entropy (e.g. 32 repeated hex chars = 16 bytes) passes. Because Relaycast hashes this key into the immutable, server-controlled credential binding, a weak key lets a co-tenant who can read the binding brute-force it to reclaim the identity after a crash — defeating the protection this PR adds (ownership is supposed to hinge on a secret unknown to workspace-key holders).

P2: registration_authority accepts any operator-supplied RELAY_AGENT_IDENTITY_KEY that is at least 32 characters long, counting UTF-8 String::len bytes with no minimum entropy requirement. The error message and docs claim a "secret work-unit key of at least 32 bytes", but a 32-char key of low entropy (e.g. 32 repeated hex chars = 16 bytes) passes. Because Relaycast hashes this key into the immutable, server-controlled credential binding, a weak key lets a co-tenant who can read the binding brute-force it to reclaim the identity after a crash — defeating the protection this PR adds (ownership is supposed to hinge on a secret unknown to workspace-key holders). Enforce a real minimum entropy (e.g. the 64-hex 32-byte OsRng key that stable_node_identity_key produces) instead of a bare length check.

The expiring-grant pattern above is what this PR applies to spawned agents; the durable-binding pattern already exists in the same file for the broker itself. A reader should not have to rediscover that both shapes are present.Security boundary fixed
This is the coordinated Relay-side security fix for #1497. It does not treat the Relay
AuthClientas the authority. It pins the matching Relaycast authority change (AgentWorkforce/relaycast#324) and passes a signed sponsor grant plus a secret work-unit key on every credential-issuing path:agent-relay mcp-args --registerThe authority rejects workspace-key-only calls and stores sponsor/work-unit ownership in server-controlled immutable state, not agent metadata. Client processes no longer inherit sponsor proofs, signing material, workspace keys, or the broker root work-unit secret.
Dependency — hard merge blocker

AgentWorkforce/relaycast#324and must not merge before it.

That commit is not reachable from relaycast'smainand can be rebased or force-pushed out of existence at any time. Merging #1505 while pinned this way would put relay'smainon a dependency that only exists on someone else's feature branch.Required sequence: relaycast#324 merges and is released (a real published

Confirming those two vars are actually set in the production relaycast deployment is a precondition for this PR closing the hole in practice, not just in code, and is being tracked separately with whoever owns that deployment.api.relaycast.dev/gateway.relaycast.devlegacy authorities are a separate deployment boundary from canonicalcast.agentrelay.com; they need explicit cutover/decommission or equivalent server enforcement before anyone claims all hosted endpoints are closed.No merge or deployment is performed by this PR.
Relationship to #1497 — guarantee-by-guarantee
#1497 (
agent/soc2-hole1-sso-sponsor) targeted the same vulnerability class via a different, client-side architecture. #1497 will be closed in favor of this PR; this section is the record of what that decision does and does not carry forward, so a future reader doesn't have to reconstruct it from two diffs.require_authenticated_sponsor()gate with the same error text.verify_sponsor_proofis effectively the same check, same claim shape, same constants.user_prefix pattern), not a service/workspace id. CARRIED — identicalis_human_sponsor_idcheck.relayauth_sponsor_id/relayauth_sponsor_binding/relayauth_sponsor_proof_sha256into client-visible, client-writable agent metadata. security: close sponsor-registration authority bypass #1505 stores the equivalent binding (sponsorOrgId,sponsorId,sponsorOidcIssuer,sponsorOidcSubject,workUnitKeyHash) as immutable server-side state in relaycast's own DB, and the relaycast#324 server actively rejects any client attempt to set those metadata keys (RESERVED_METADATA_KEYS). This is the correct direction (client-writable metadata was never trustworthy ownership data) but only takes effect once relaycast#324 is merged, deployed, and configured — see "DO NOT MERGE" above.GET /v1/agents/:name, compares metadata to the locally-authenticated sponsor, and only then callsrotate_agent_token/register_agent— but that underlying wire call itself carries no sponsor proof and is authenticated only by workspace key, so any caller that isn't this specific CLI (curl, another SDK, a modified client) rotates or reclaims across sponsor boundaries today unimpeded, regardless of what fix(auth): require SSO-principal sponsor for agent registration #1497 does. It was a convention observed by one client, not a boundary. security: close sponsor-registration authority bypass #1505 does not reimplement it client-side — deliberately: relaycast#324's server now withholds sponsor-binding data from the client-visible agent-fetch response specifically to stop this class of client-side check from being spoofed, so security: close sponsor-registration authority bypass #1505's client has no data left to check even if it wanted to. G5/G6 will only be real onceAgentWorkforce/relaycast#324is merged, deployed, and configured withRELAYCAST_AGENT_CREDENTIAL_AUTHORITY_PUBLIC_KEY_PEM+RELAYCAST_AGENT_CREDENTIAL_AUTHORITY_ISSUER(see "DO NOT MERGE" above) — that work is server-side, tracked in relaycast#324, not in this PR.
