Reject empty or short JWT secret when JWT auth is enabled - #229
Reject empty or short JWT secret when JWT auth is enabled#229NP-compete wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
When LANGGRAPH_AUTH_TYPE=jwt and LANGGRAPH_JWT_SECRET is empty or shorter than 32 bytes, an attacker who knows the secret is empty can forge valid JWTs with full API access. Add validation at three layers: - validate_auth_config() raises ValueError at startup if the secret is missing or too short, failing the process before it accepts traffic - validate_jwt_token() raises AuthError (500) as defense-in-depth - _hmac_validate() raises AuthError (500) for the PyJWT-absent fallback Wire validate_auth_config() into the startup config validation step.

WalkthroughThe change adds a 32-byte minimum JWT secret requirement. JWT configuration now fails during startup when the secret is missing or too short. JWT and HMAC validation reject invalid secrets at runtime. Unit tests cover configuration and validation paths. Fixed issue severity: High Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change rejects empty or short JWT secrets before or during authentication, improving security. Merge is reasonable with owner awareness that one runtime test should verify the required 500 response and the new exception messages should be adjusted to satisfy repository lint rules. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

As per coding guidelines, move the long exception messages at Lines 55-60, 71, and 90-91 into exception types or module constants because Ruff reports TRY003 for each.

As per path instructions, assert AuthError.status_code == 500, because Lines 123-144 otherwise pass if runtime secret validation returns 401 rather than the required 500.
