1139743 - Cache and revoke oauth tokens.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

From a discussion on IRC

Comment 1

[Mark Hammond [:markh] [:mhammond]]

premature send :)

From a discussion on IRC, our oauth tokens live forever and it is a little bad if we re-request these tokens each startup.  In an ideal world we'd also revoke all such tokens when the user signs out.

Therefore, we feel that FxAccounts should manage the storage of these tokens.  We'd store all oauth tokens keyed by a "client service id" (eg, readinglist, loop) and the scope (so a single service can request tokens with different scopes).  When the service requests a token, FxA will be free to return a previously cached one.  On logout we'd make a "best effort" attempt to revoke them all.

We will store the tokens in signedInUser.json - there's no need to store them in the "secure" (hah!) login manager.

We'd store them as something like:

> "oauthTokens": {
>   "readinglist": {
>     "scope1": {
>       "access_token": "the actual token value",
>       "server": "https://something", // The oauth server we got the token from, which is the server we'll use to revoke it 
>       "expires": 12345, // later when we get token expiry, this is where we will stash that. null == never expires.
>    }
>  }
>}

This patch converts a couple of functions to use tasks rather than promises, but doesn't change any semantics.  It's really only done to make part2 easier.

Attachment: 0002-Bug-1139743-part-2-Cache-OAuth-tokens.-r-zaach.patch

This patch attempts to use a cached token, and stores tokens in the cache when it can't.  There's no attempt yet to revoke the tokens on logout (mainly as I have no idea how to do that), and I think a little more testing would be nice, but this is the general idea.

Comment 4

[Mark Hammond [:markh] [:mhammond]]

Oh, and we will also need some way of explicitly discarding cached values, so a client seeing a 401 can request a new token and not get the cached one.  This could either be done with a new entry in the options param, or with a new method specifically for that purpose. Zaaaaaach, what do you think?

Attachment: 0002-Bug-1139743-part-2-Cache-OAuth-tokens.-r-zaach.patch

This one is getting quite a big bigger.  It has code to destroy a previously fetched token plus basic support for destroying them on logout.  It also has the start of a test that stands-up a local http server for serving tokens :) Still has nothing around comment 4 though :(

As you brought up Mark, we should consider moving to an array of scopes here. Eventually that needs to be turned into a string of space separated scopes, but there's no good reason to expose that implementation detail in this API.

Thinking about this more, I'm not sure about introducing this "service" string. What should it be? A URL? A name?

I'm currently chewing on the idea of just indexing them on some canonicalization of the requested scopes, e.g., sort, lower case, and join(" "). What do you think Mark and Zach? Simpler, I think.

Something like that should work, although it's little ugly.

I was thinking anything at all, so long as it was consistently used.  IOW, I was thinking "readinglist", "loop" etc.

I'm fine with that, although I guess we will want the server as part of that key (which isn't a problem as we also need that server URL to be kept so we can revoke it)

We could, but I think we can just use the scope as the key. Worse case if the environment changes, the service will get a 401, which will trigger the cache eviction and refetching anyway.

Attachment: 0002-Bug-1139743-part-2-Cache-OAuth-tokens.-r-zaach.patch

This version:

* Allows getOAuthToken()'s 'scope' option to be an array or string, and passes them as a space-sep'd string to FxAccountsOAuthGrantClient.

* Uses a sorted, lower-cased, joined by '|' scope string as the key for the token cache.

* Adds removeCachedOAuthToken() - like getOAuthToken, it takes an "options" param that expects a single item, 'token'. As suggested by Ryan, we also attempt to destroy the token on the server, but we do this in the background (and thus don't fail it it fails, which seems likely)

* moar tests.

Looks good Mark. My biggest concerns are around the potential race conditions. If we view the cached tokens as "best effort", meaning that callers shouldn't rely on us caching tokens for them, then it's more tolerable I suppose.

Doesn't the data need to be re-written to storage after the token is removed? This also seems like a place for a race condition.

Comment 13

[Mark Hammond [:markh] [:mhammond]]

Attachment: 0002-remove-a-few-potential-race-conditions.patch

So, races...

I believe Chris's main concern in the previous patch is that the setting of each token causes a read/write cycle on the login data, and thus, if a second token fetch starts before the previous read/write cycle is complete the data will be lost from the json.

The way the code works, this is 1/2 true, and other potential races do exist.

So https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/services/fxaccounts/FxAccounts.jsm#99 is setup such that only 1 such read ever happens - calls to getUserAccountData() will cache the previous value and return that without hitting disk.  Further, setUserAccountData saves the user data back into the cached value as well as saving it to disk - the end result being that so long as the first read is complete, that's the only read that happens, so we should not be vulnerable to multiple read/write cycles (although setUserAccountData is a little problematic - see below)

However, there are still some subtleties in the code that makes it potentially incorrect:

* getUserAccountData doesn't protect against this "initial read" happening multiple times - IOW, if getUserAccountData() is called a second time before the first is complete, we will attempt to read again.

* setUserAccountData *does* do a read, *then* updates the cached value, then issues a write.  Thus, it's possible that multiple setUserAccountData calls will lose the data from one of them while we wait for the first read to complete.

Note also that while the OAuth cache seems more likely to hit this problem, the problem exists independently of the token cache - there is a risk that any attribute sets will fall foul of this.

This patch is an attempt to harden against these problems (and is independent of the cache):

* getUserAccountData stores a promise for the initial read. This means that multiple getUserAccountData calls in-flight before the first is finished all use the same promise.  Once this initial promise is complete we will return the in-memory value as before.

* setUserAccountData now *immediately* stores the new accountData before starting a write. It no longer reads at all (which it did only to get the "version" field).  It also throws if the initialRead promise is in-flight (as it seems insane that someone would want to write before it's been read)

I think this solves the problem in practice due to us not cloning the data - so code such as:
  let data = yield getUserAccountData(...);
  data.foo = "bar"
  yield setUserAccountData(data);

is actually using the same 'data' object in all cases, as the first call is almost certainly returning the object cached in the accountState - so even if the code above executes multiple times concurrently, the same "data" object is used in both cases.

However, this is still non-obvious - a better answer might be to make that explicit (ie, not have setUserAccountData take the data to write, but instead use the in-memory object).  For hysterical raisins this is not trivial and probably beyond the scope of this bug.  We should consider another bug to make a better (but far more intrusive) scheme here.

Chris, I'm wondering what you think of this patch? It should not change any semantics (the tests all pass) but should harden all the code against such races. Note that all other patches for this bug *also* still work without this patch - it's basically guarding against potential races that we haven't managed to see in practice yet.

IOW, this patch is optional, but without it there are risks the token cache might somehow hit these races, and it seems quite difficult for the token cache code to itself guard against the races as they are implicit in the accountState object.

Attachment: 0004-Bug-1139743-part-2-Cache-OAuth-tokens.-r-zaach.patch

This patch addresses all previous review comments, and also handles multiple concurrent requests for the same token scope - which it handles by immediately revoking one of the tokens and returning a previously cached one (ie, we also check *after* we've got a token if someone managed to cache one while we were fetching it, and if it exists we revoke the new one and return that cached one).  This also has explicit tests.

It doesn't make any attempt to deal with the inherent racey behaviour of the storage - see previous patch.

The "not cloning" part is a little scary not that you point it out. :) Do you think it's worth cloning the data in both get and set to be defensive about whatever the callers decide to do with the parameter/return value subsequently?

I think this comment is more along the lines of "while it's being initially read" vs. "before it's read". This code path seems to allow setting before reading. 

Does this create a new throw condition that didn't exist before? It seems unlikely this would ever get triggered, though.

From an engineering POV, that's certainly the safest thing to do.  However, given how the code is implemented, I don't think we want getUserAccountData() to clone on each call or we end up in the race situation we were talking about - ie:

promise1: getUserAccountData().then(data => data.foo = "bar");
promise2: getUserAccountData().then(data => data.bar = "foo");

could do the wrong thing, but currently works correctly.

But yeah, this is all scary and I think it's worth taking a step back and reevaluating the model we expose here.

It does - it's defensive rather than addressing a real problem so I've no problem removing it (but OTOH, this entire patch is simply defensive, and I can't provoke a test/runtime failure without it being applied at all).  Note however that browserid_identity already has defense against a different user signing in, so it would be reasonable to decide to take this patch without that additional check - but I'm inclined to say we might as well take this too.

After pondering all those race issues, it seems that we could improve matters a bit by adding methods on the account state object to manage the cached OAuth tokens. That would have a couple of benefits:

* reduce the size of this function
* avoid manipulating the actual data representation directly, e.g., data.oauthTokens[scopeKey].access_token looks :-(

I'm thinking we should add: hasCachedToken(scope), getCachedToken(scope), setCachedToken(scope, tokenData), deleteCachedToken(scope).

We could also consider adding a method on state to persist the state explicitly to disk, so all these could be synchronous in-memory operations.

Are there any tests for the new methods on AccountState?

These tests could be refactored into two sets of tests

1) Tests on the new methods on AccountState to make sure they properly write stuff out to disk.
2) (A refactor of the below) tests on fxa.getOAuthToken to make sure it properly invokes the new methods on AccountState.

With the refactor, I feel that the below test is now more of a single end-to-end integration test from getOAuthToken all the way to the JSON file on disk. That has value, but I find that unit tests that focus on local input and outputs are less brittle and easier to maintain.

What are your thoughts?

Comment 28

[Mark Hammond [:markh] [:mhammond]]

oh dear - it seems the existing code that attempts to reuse the cached data is broken:

https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/services/fxaccounts/FxAccounts.jsm#112

this.version is undefined there.  If I fix that, the tests around the login manager being locked fail - things assume we re-read when we only have partial data, so we get the missing fields when the MP is unlocked.

Not sure what to do about that :(  Chris, any thoughts?

Comment 29

[Chris Karlof [:ckarlof]]

If I understand this correctly, the fact that we never set this.signedInUser was masking a bug around how master password interacts with this.signedInUser. The result is that we read the signed in user from disk every time. For master password users, this may mean that they need to re-enter their master password on every Sync, right?

(Looking through the LoginManagerStorage code, there are some code paths there, particularly around this version field that results in the user's LoginManager Sync creds being blown away. I wonder if one of these is causing those bugs where people report their keys missing from the login manager?)

> Not sure what to do about that :(  Chris, any thoughts?

This does look delicate. The least risky thing perhaps is:

1) Fix the this.version bug
2) Only cache the user data after that if it's complete, meaning the MP is unlocked.

In 2), we'll need to be careful of what happens if the MP is unlocked and someone requests an OAuth token. We probably want to try to avoid that. :)

If you plan on working on this before you arrive in SF, let me know and we can discuss. Otherwise, we can tackle this on Monday.

I don't think that's quite correct - once the master-password is unlocked, it stays unlocked, so each getSignedInUserData() after the unlock returns everything.

The subtlety is that the code *looks* like it is caching the logged in user data, but really isn't.  This is why it works correctly once MP is unlocked - that cached data isn't used.Each getSignedInUserData hits the storage, so before MP unlock it returns partial data, but after it returns full data as that cache isn't actually used.

Yeah, another subtlety is that setSignedInUserData *did* cache the data.  So if we ended up with setSignedInUserData called while the MP was locked we then would have cached the partial data and getSignedInUserData would no longer read storage - so even after the MP was unlocked we'd be stuck with partial data.  It certainly is possible that this explains those bugs.

Another potential erroneous flow might be:
* getSignedInUserData called with MP locked - partial data returned.
* user unlocks MP for reasons external to this (Eg, to use a saved password or something)
* We call setSignedInUserData, and because we only have the partial data in memory we overwrite the data that did exist in the login manager that we haven't yet read this session.
* End result is login manager data is lost.

I'm not sure how we could actually do that, but it's a possibility.

It would be easy to check if the MP is locked.  Checking for "partial data" sounds a little more scary as it's not clear exactly what "partial" means.

Mark,

Track me down in SF and we'll drive this to conclusion ASAP.

Comment 32

[Chris Karlof [:ckarlof]]

For those watching at home, this bug currently isn't blocking anything. RL already has the capability to get an OAuth token. This bug is about caching and revocation, which something we'll want to address before release, but isn't a high priority right now. Mark and I plan to discuss this in person while he's in SF this week.

As per our discussion:

1) persistCachedTokens should perhaps be a public method

This is on-top of the previous patches.  It addresses all your feedback comments apart from the test refactoring (which I'll do, but might as well get early feedback).

> Swap these to read the signedInUser first, then the cachedTokens, and match
> the uids in each.

Done, and the uid checks are done and tested.

> state (or we have one method that persists both?)

_persistCachedTokens remains public, but there's a new persistUserData() function that writes both.  As we discussed, the AccountState() object is now the only thing that references the storage object.  (Sadly, I had to keep the storage object somewhat public as tests try and use it, and having it directly on the AccountState object defeated some of the tests due to how frequently we throw AccountState objects away.

> 3) the signedInUserStorage should perhaps be passed in the constructor

Done.

> 4) the AccountState object should not be dependent on fxaInternal

Much closer to done - we do reference .version and still reference it in isCurrent, but it's much cleaner now.  The FxAccounts object has no storage, so we don't reach in for that.

I think we can fix those 2 abstraction-leakages in another refactor later.


> Maybe clean this leaky abstraction a bit, e.g., something like
> this.currentAccountState = new AccountState(record).

Done - it's now new AccountState(this, record);

Indeed - it's now exclusively the AccountState.

I didn't end up doing this as I'm running out of time, and I think the test covers what we need, just in a sub-optimal way - I hope you're OK with that for now.

Did that one - new test for the grant client that hits a real server, and the token cache test uses a mock.

This part 1 had some issues with error throwing/rejections. I was confused, so opened bug 1148301, which is invalid - the only reason it was necessary was due to the errors in this patch.

I'll close that as invalid, but Zaach already r+'d the missing bits in that bug, so I'm going to carry the r+ forward here - this patch is now a combination of the earlier version of this patch plus the patch in bug 1148301.

Attachment: 0003-Bug-1139743-part-3-Cache-OAuth-tokens.-r-ckarlof.patch

Reflecting on the old patch, I think I went a little too far :)  This patch is different from the previous one in the following ways:

* signedInUserStorage is no longer global.  Instead it is still created by the FxAccounts object, but it only uses it to pass to AccountState objects as they are created.  Thus, FxAccountsInternal creates, but does not use, the storage object. AccountState is still responsible for all storage operations.

This means the tests did not need as many hacks and we no longer need a backstage-pass to test the storage. Even though the FxAccountsInternal creates storage but doesn't directly use it isn't ideal, I think it's a better pragmatic solution at this point and helps make this patch easier to reason about.

There's also a patch to browser/components/readinglist/ServerClient.jsm, which guarded against removeCachedOAuthToken() not existing.  As this patch lands it the guard has been removed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I'm not going to require it for this patch, but now that we're shifting more concerns on the AccountState object, we should eventually add more unit tests for that object, with a mocked storage object. test_oauth_token_storage.js does test some methods on AccountState, but those tests are written more as an integration test between AccountState and the storage object. In particular, the tests in test_oauth_token_storage.js require us to mock out nearly everything in this module to run those tests. AccountState seems is become a more narrowly concerned object that we could probably unit test just by mocking out it's dependencies (i.e., storage). isCurrent() does depend on the FxA internal object, but maybe we could probable provide a mock internal object that handles that code path.

Likewise, some unit tests that tested JSONStorage.setOAuthTokens and JSONStorage.getOAuthTokens would also be valuable.

I'm going to r+ pending an answer/solution to my question about whether tokens get cached if this.signedInUser isn't set on startup.

Kind of weird this.signedInUser is set in setUserAccountData, but never in getUserAccountData. This seems to be for master password interactions, and as you mention, I think a refactor later would be prudent to make these more consistent.

Given this this.signedInUser is never set if we're just reading the user info from disk, I concerned that this means if we have a situation where:

1) User is already logged into FxA.
2) Starts browser.
3) RL requests a token.

Then it won't be persisted because this.signedInUser isn't set in this case.

Yep, you are correct :(  This patch fixes this and adds a new test for the scenario.  Now we *do* save the user's UID - I first tried just doing getSignedInUserData() to get the UID, but (a) that's more racey and (b) also reads the token file that we are trying to save to.

Also, assuming you like this, how far should we uplift it?  I'm thinking we should start at 39 and 40, then request 38 in a week or so?

I think that setUserAccountData() needs a line similar to this. Otherwise, the uid won't be updated.

While looking at this, it also made be question why setUserAccountData takes the user data object, but the AccountState constructor takes a wrapped version of that called a signedInUser which looks like {version: DATA_FORMAT_VERSION, accountData: accountData}. Seems dangerous and a likely source of confusion.

I think that the constructor is only called with the third parameter in setSignedInUser. It constructs the signedInUser "record" first, but now that seems something that should be done in AccountState just prior to writing out the record to disk. I know we're getting late here, and we could clean this up later, but I am concerned this mismatch in how AccountState initializes and mutates might be hiding a bug.

We discussed to throw an exception in setUserAccountData() if the uid in the accountData doesn't match what is currently in the AccountState object. This is because setUserAccountData should only be used to update the data for the current user, not to change it to another user.

We also discussed changing the constructor for AccountState so it takes "accountData" rather than a "signedInUser" (i.e., not something like {version: DATA_FORMAT_VERSION, accountData: accountData}).

0003-Bug-1139743-part-3-Cache-OAuth-tokens.-r-ckarlof.patch

Approval request for all 3 patches.  Note that we intend requesting approval for beta once it has baked on central and aurora for a week or so.

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/regressing bug #]: readinglist
[User impact if declined]: Reading List sync will attempt to fetch a new token each sync, increasing network usage.  Services team will get upset as many new tokens are created and thrown away instead of being reused and revoked.
[Describe test coverage new/current, TreeHerder]: Has tests.
[Risks and why]: Low risk limited to FxA (ie, in a worst-case scenario it would impact Sync, ReadingList and Loop, but nothing else)
[String/UUID change made/needed]: None

Let's let this stay on Nightly and verify it first before uplift.  Stephen can your team verify this bug on Nightly? 

This looks like a big patch, and possibly affecting everyone using Firefox Accounts seems like a moderately serious risk to me.  

Why would the services team get upset? Is it a cost or a performance issue or both?

Whenever a new token is "created and thrown away", it will sit around forever in the server-side database  because we have no way of knowing whether it's safe to revoke it.  It's a small but real hit on server storage costs and performance.  This patch ensures they're re-used and explicitly revoked, and hence is kinder to sever resources.

Approving this for uplift to aurora. We can focus verification effort on aurora.

Sorry for the delay, Liz (was on vacation and neglected to update Bugzilla); Stuart would know better who'd be best to verify this bug (willing to help if need-be).

This sounds like a job for, jrgm

[Catalin Varga [QA][:VarCat]]

Can we receive some guidance on how to manually verify this bug?

[Mark Hammond [:markh] [:mhammond]]

To be honest I don't see how we can sanely verify this manually. The patch landed with good test coverage, so I think this should be fine.
