Description

Target issue

closes #14857

Implementation Details

Fixes 6 pre-existing bugs in Fido2ExternalAuthenticator.py flagged by CodeRabbit during review of #14852 (a docs-only rename PR), not fixed there to keep that PR's scope to docs/naming only:

**1. Deadlock (critical):** getMetaDataConfiguration() could return early while still holding metaDataLoaderLock, before the try/finally that releases it. Moved lock acquisition to immediately wrap the entire method body, including the cached-value check, so the lock is always released.
**2. Robustness**: three call sites read self.metaDataConfiguration directly instead of through the lazy-loading accessor; switched to self.getMetaDataConfiguration() — no behavior change on the normal path, avoids passing None if ever called before the cache is warm.
**3. Sensitive data in logs:** removed print statements that logged tokenResponse, assertion/attestation result entities, decoded allowList cookie contents, and the raw new-credential object. Kept only HTTP status logging.
**4. Cookie dedup no-op:** add_credential_if_not_exists detected a duplicate credential ID but fell through and appended it anyway; now returns immediately on a match.
**5. Cookie parse failure:** getCookieValue could return the raw undecoded string (instead of []) if base64-decoding succeeded but JSON parsing failed, which would throw downstream when iterated. Now resets to [] on any parse failure.
**6. Missing cookie Path/SameSite:** persistCookie now sets an explicit Path=/ and SameSite=Lax, built as a raw Set-Cookie header (matching the existing convention in jans-config-api's OAuth2Resource.java) rather than Cookie.setAttribute, since that method isn't reliably available across Jakarta Servlet API versions.

Test and Document the changes

  • Static code analysis has been run locally and issues have been fixed
  • Relevant unit and integration tests have been added/updated
  • Relevant documentation has been updated if any (i.e. user guides, installation and configuration guides, technical design docs etc)

Please check the below before submitting your PR. The PR will not be merged if there are no commits that start with docs: to indicate documentation changes or if the below checklist is not selected.

  • I confirm that there is no impact on the docs due to the code changes in this PR.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved passkey cookie handling with secure attributes, seven-day persistence, and site protection.
    • Fixed invalid or unreadable cookie data so it resets safely.
    • Improved reliability when loading passkey metadata during simultaneous requests.
    • Prevented duplicate credentials from being added to existing passkey access lists.
    • Simplified authentication flow logging by removing unnecessary diagnostic output.
    • Improved handling of passkey registration and login responses for more consistent behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The passkey interception script synchronizes metadata loading, reduces authentication logging, validates cookie data, writes cookies with explicit attributes, and prevents duplicate credential entries.

Changes

FIDO2 authenticator behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Metadata loading and authentication flow
docs/script-catalog/person_authentication/passkey/PasskeyInterceptionScript.py
Authentication and enrollment use getMetaDataConfiguration(). Metadata loading performs the second configuration check while holding the lock. Verbose assertion, attestation, and preparation output was removed.
Cookie parsing and persistence
docs/script-catalog/person_authentication/passkey/PasskeyInterceptionScript.py
Cookie parsing validates decoded JSON as a list of objects with id fields and resets invalid values to an empty list. Cookie persistence writes a Set-Cookie header with Path=/, seven-day Max-Age, Secure, HttpOnly, and SameSite=Lax.
Credential allowlist deduplication
docs/script-catalog/person_authentication/passkey/PasskeyInterceptionScript.py
Duplicate credential IDs return the existing allow list without appending another entry. Duplicate and success messages were simplified.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 4340c

The PR fixes several reliability and security issues, but changing the allow-list cookie to Path=/ sends credential identifiers to every path on the authentication host. Merge is reasonable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up to confirm the host trust boundary or narrow the cookie path.

assertionResponse or attestationResponse payloads and credential IDs, including
new_credential['id'] in the duplicate-enrollment branch. Retain only
non-sensitive status or descriptive messages while preserving the existing
authentication and registration behavior.
- Around line 348-359: Update the cookie-processing flow around getCookie and
add_credential_if_not_exists to handle a null getCookies() result as an empty
collection, then validate decoded cookie data is a list whose entries are
objects containing the required id field before use. Treat absent, malformed, or
wrong-shaped input—including values such as {} or [{}]—as an empty credential
list.
