932179 - Network monitor should show per-connection SSL state

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Netmonitor, enhancement)

Description

[Brian Smith (:briansmith, :bsmith, use NEEDINFO?)]

For developers who are working on improving performance at the transport layer, being able to see which requests are on which connections, and the properties of the connections, is very useful.

It would be great if there were a way to show the state of network connections. In particular, it would be great to expose:
* Which protocol is being used (HTTP, HTTP/1.x over TLS, SPDY, HTTP/2, Websockets).
* The TLS version negotiated (SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2), cipher suite negotiated, certificates, stapled OCSP response, etc., whether the certificate validated successfully, whether there were any SSL-related warnings (e.g. weak keys, lack of support for the renegotiation extension, deprecated cipher suite in use).

Some of this information is available for the document request using the Page Info UI by clicking the site identity panel -> More information -> Security (Technical details). However, the page info UI doesn't make sense on a modern web page because there are almost always multiple connections to multiple hosts involved.

Often, when somebody is actually trying to work on configuring their SSL stuff, they'd like a view of the SSL info across all the connections on the page. Imagine that the normal view had a narrow "SSL" or "Protocol" column that indicated whether SSL is being used or which protocol is being used. Also, imagine we had an option to expand this column into a set of columns that provided more details: TLS version, cipher suite, whether OCSP stapling was used, etc. (This would be similar to how the timeline column can be toggled between compact and wide views.) This would allow somebody to quickly determine which servers/connections need to be changed to better configurations. Presumably some of the normal columns would have to be collapsed when the SSL column is expanded to the multi-column view.

A lot (all?) of this information is already exposed by looking at the channel.securityInfo.QueryInterface(nsITransportSecurityInfo) and channel.securityInfo.QueryInterface(nsISSLStatusProvider).SSLStatus (nsISSLStatus). I, or others on the Security Engineering team, would be happy to expose more information as needed to support this work.

I think that this would be a major improvement to our developer tools that would make Firefox the best browser for investigating SSL-related configuration issues.

Comment 1

[Dane MacMillan [:danemacmillan]]

This would be immensely useful. As it is, the UI for extracting this info from the padlock icon in the URL bar is not overly useful. Besides, the point about wanting to see these properties on a per-asset basis is particularly relevant to anyone configuring SSL across different domains, with possibly different servers and configurations. Cipher suite and protocol (like SPDY) are probably the two I look for most, but those additional items, such as TLS version, SSL warnings, and especially OSCP (relevant now more than ever), would be incredible details to expose.

Comment 2

[Sami Jaktholm]

Attachment: netmonitor-per-request-tls-status-part-1.patch

I've been working on adding security information to the netmonitor for a while and it's finally starting to come along. It's not exactly what this bug describes but it's a start. Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

This first patch adds the server side support for capturing security information. The information is extracted from nsIChannel when nsIRequestObserver.onStartRequest is called.

A new method, parseSecurityInfo, is added to network-helper.js which extracts information from securityInfo and nsIRequest objects. It categorizes the request to one of three states:
* "secure": the request security state contained STATE_IS_SECURE flag.
* "insecure": the request did not contain any security information which means
              it was performed over insecure connection (i.e. http).
* "broken": the request failed due to security issue.

The request is marked "broken" if it can't be classified as "secure" or "insecure". For requests with "broken" state the error message from nsITransportSecurityInfo is added to the returned object. For "insecure" requests the returned object only contains the security state.

For "secure" requests the returned object contains information about protocol version, cipher suite, certificate HSTS and HPKP. This is pretty much everything I was able to dig from currently available services/interfaces.

The two xpcshell tests check that parseSecurityInfo maps the securityInfo fields as expected. HSTS/HPKP detection is tested by two mochitests and they utilize .sjs files from browser-chrome tests.

Comment 3

[Sami Jaktholm]

Attachment: netmonitor-per-request-tls-status-part-2.patch

This patch adds the client side components required to display the security information received from server.

An icon is added to the left of domain that denotes the security status of the request. The icons are borrowed from the urlbar identity icons and depending on the connection security state they are
* "insecure": gray globe as shown in http pages.
* "secure": gray lock as shown in non-EV https pages.
* "broken": an orange triangle as shown for pages with mixed active content.

For insecure and secure requests the icons are quite obvious. The orange triangle breaks consistency with the urlbar a bit but I think it works fine as an issue indicator in the netmonitor.

The icon is shown once the state is available - prior to that there's a blank space reserved for it. Thus older servers should work fine with these changes. We could also use trait to hide the slot conditionally but the current version doesn't look that odd and requires no extra code to handle different clients.

A new "Security" tab is added to the details sidebar that shows the details collected by the debugger server. It's only visible for "secure" and "broken" requests and can be opened directly by clicking the icon. The details pane borrows some strings from Certificate Viewer.

There's of course few tests that should cover the basic functionality this patch introduces.

Here's a try run with both the patches applied and nothing seems to be (permanently) broken: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/ui/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=24ca0d2d8d50

Here's a screenshot of the UI showing security error. The layout is a bit bad but the message comes as whitespace formatted so it's kind of hard to fit it in a narrow pane and make it look good the same time.

[Victor Porof [:vporof][:vp]]

Wow, this is very cool. Reviewing.

Comment 7

[Sami Jaktholm]

Attachment: netmonitor-per-request-tls-status-part-1.patch

Here's a revised version with following fixes to the server side code:
- if a https request was canceled at some (specific) stage, it was marked as broken. Now it is marked as insecure.
- updated unit tests to match behavior above
- added a comment to parseSecurityInfo about all the possible situations it (tries) to handle.

If security of a connection is weak[1], the current version marks the requests as insecure as there's no way to know, why the security is weak. Bug 1092835 has recently been relanded into mozilla-inbound which makes it possible to determine the cause for weakness and a warning will be printed to the console. Those warnings could be integrated with these changes but right now they're not implemented.

If the #preview-{tabpanel,tab} is hidden and I choose security tab, the security panel is blank. There's a note in MDN[1] which says tabpanels should never be hidden and apparently there's a good reason for that. Maybe the rendered panel is the nth visible tabpanel instead of nth tabpanel...

Since this is in toolkit, better avoid Cu.reportError() and use DevToolsUtils.reportException() instead. Some embeddings may not provide Cu.reportError().

It would be great to also have the base64-encoded DER bytes of the certificate (use getRawDER) (and, actually, the entire chain the server sent, but at the moment that's only available if the connection failed - see nsITransportSecurityInfo.failedCertChain).

It'd be great if it were possible transfer the entire certificate chain from server to client and show it in the standard "View Cert" window. However, these patches are already quite large as is so maybe this should be left as a follow up enchantment.

Here's an improved version of the server side code with following changes:
- Split certificate and protocol version parsing into separate methods for better maintainability.
- Created separate unit tests for the new methods and removed overlap with the other tests.
- Minor cleanup of comments, newlines etc.

Comment 20

[Sami Jaktholm]

Attachment: netmonitor-security-info-part-1-actor-support.patch

I've been testing these patches during holidays and ironed out bugs that I have noticed so these should be ready for review.

There's still few things that could be handled better:
- Warnings. I have few ideas how to integrate them but currently they're handled poorly.
- Full certificate chains can't be shown.

I think it would be better to land the base first (maybe after next uplift) and follow up on those issues afterwards.

This is the patch containing changes to the WebConsoleActor. Please add other reviewers for these patches if you can think of someone who should take a look at these too.

These are the UI changes needed to present the security information.

One issue I have noticed with this is that the sidebar is too narrow to fit all the tabs causing the security tab to be hidden. I believe this is worked in bug 1101569 so it should help with the problem.

Why are these checks removed? The 'preview' panel should still be hidden for non html responses.

That may be the case, but the Preview panel should still be hidden on non HTML responses, at least for now. Maybe make the Security panel come before the Preview one, so you can still safely hide it?

For situations like this when everything is landing at the same time, you can just use checkin-needed. The checkin? flag is a PITA for us since our automated bug marking tools can't clear it.

Backed out for intermittent failures in browser_net_security-state.js.

Good to know. Sorry about that.

I was able to reproduce the failure locally and it seems to be caused by cross origin requests performed by the test(s).

The test hangs while waiting event timings from the server. I was able to determine that NetworkMonitor.observeActivity occasionally returned early at [1]. This caused it to ignore ACTIVITY_SUBTYPE_TRANSACTION_CLOSE that was supposed to flush the event timings at [2].

This patch adds an .sjs file that returns correct "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *" header and makes the tests use that file. I made the patch separate to ease review and it is built on top of netmonitor-security-info-part-2-ui.patch so they both need to be applied in correct order.

Apparently the test domain, include-subdomains.pinning.example.com, was removed in by rev 4f547cd4ce3d (bug 1096197) [1] which landed after my try push.

I'm not really sure why this has ever worked as the removed test domain should have served a certificate (cert=staticPinningBad) that violates the static pin causing the connection to fail.

The actual pinning is tested in [2] and it spins up a per-case test server separate from the one serving domains mentioned in build/pgo/server-locations.txt which we can easily use. In order to test the security information with a mochitest we must have a domain without any security issues. That'll require a separate test server with correct cert and a static pin (as done in [2]).

Another possibility would be to test static pinning with an unit test (if SiteSecurityService is available in xpcshell). It only requires a domain with a static pin and that exists (at least for now). However it's not exactly the same as using a mochitest with full debugger stack but it's still something.

I'll check if unit test works.

Refresh part two that fails to apply due to bug 731318 being backed out.

Here's a patch that removes the static pin case from the failing mochitest and adds an unit test for that use case.
