Bobby Ho 209d1ca498 fix: reject PKCE code_verifier below RFC 7636 length floor (#28003)
The token endpoint accepted any non-empty `code_verifier`, so a
one-character verifier was enough to authenticate. RFC 7636 §4.1
requires 43 to 128 characters from the unreserved set.

That fix plus the related gaps review surfaced in the same path:

- Enforce the length and charset floor on the verifier before the S256
comparison runs.
- Validate the challenge at the authorize endpoint too. It was only
checked for non-emptiness, so a malformed challenge was stored and then
failed late at token exchange, blaming the wrong parameter.
- A malformed verifier now returns `invalid_request` (RFC 6749 §5.2); a
well-formed but wrong one still returns `invalid_grant` (RFC 7636 §4.6).
Both looked identical before, so a client had no way to tell a syntax
error from a hash mismatch and would retry the same bad verifier
forever.
- Revoke the authorization code when a PKCE check fails. Without that, a
leaked code could be replayed with unlimited verifier guesses for its
remaining lifetime, and RFC 6749 §10.5 requires codes to be single use.
- Fix verifier generation in `scripts/oauth2/*.sh` and the docs example.
They deleted reserved base64 characters instead of translating them to
the URL-safe alphabet, so most runs produced verifiers under the new
floor.

Also carries #28041, which merged into this branch: public clients may
register bare custom schemes such as `vscode://` again, with `mailto`,
`tel`, and `sms` rejected.

Split out of #27873 (public OAuth2 client support). PKCE is already
mandatory for every client, so this stands on its own.

<summary>Manual verification</summary>

Ran against a local dev server on this branch, using a session token and
a throwaway app from `scripts/oauth2/setup-test-app.sh`.

1. Happy path unchanged: HTTP 200, verifier length 43.
2. `code_verifier=short`, and a 43-character verifier ending in `!`:
both HTTP 400 `invalid_request`, so charset is enforced and not just
length.
3. `code_challenge=tooshort` at authorize: HTTP 400 `invalid_request`,
no code issued. An empty challenge still hits the older "required and
cannot be empty" message.
4. Well-formed but wrong verifier: HTTP 400 `invalid_grant`, distinct
from the cases above.
5. Retrying that same code with the correct verifier: HTTP 400, code
already revoked by the failed check.
6. `generate-pkce.sh` produces a 43-character verifier (20 out of 20
runs); the docs example produces 128.
7. `scripts/oauth2/test-mcp-oauth2.sh` passes end to end. The two
bearer-token failures in its output are a pre-existing script bug
(`09c50559f3`, July 2025) that reuses a resource-scoped token against
the real API, not a regression here.

OAuth2 Test Scripts

This directory contains test scripts for the MCP OAuth2 implementation in Coder.

Prerequisites

  1. Start Coder in development mode:

    ./scripts/develop.sh
    
  2. Login to get a session token:

    ./scripts/coder-dev.sh login
    

Scripts

test-mcp-oauth2.sh

Complete automated test suite that verifies all OAuth2 functionality:

  • Metadata endpoint
  • PKCE flow
  • Resource parameter support
  • Token refresh
  • Error handling

Usage:

chmod +x ./scripts/oauth2/test-mcp-oauth2.sh
./scripts/oauth2/test-mcp-oauth2.sh

setup-test-app.sh

Creates a test OAuth2 application and outputs environment variables.

Usage:

eval $(./scripts/oauth2/setup-test-app.sh)
echo "Client ID: $CLIENT_ID"

cleanup-test-app.sh

Deletes a test OAuth2 application.

Usage:

./scripts/oauth2/cleanup-test-app.sh $CLIENT_ID
# Or if CLIENT_ID is set as environment variable:
./scripts/oauth2/cleanup-test-app.sh

generate-pkce.sh

Generates PKCE code verifier and challenge for manual testing.

Usage:

./scripts/oauth2/generate-pkce.sh

test-manual-flow.sh

Launches a local Go web server to test the OAuth2 flow interactively. The server automatically handles the OAuth2 callback and token exchange, providing a user-friendly web interface with results.

Usage:

# First set up an app
eval $(./scripts/oauth2/setup-test-app.sh)

# Then run the test server
./scripts/oauth2/test-manual-flow.sh

Features:

  • Starts a local web server on port 9876
  • Automatically captures the authorization code
  • Performs token exchange without manual intervention
  • Displays results in a clean web interface
  • Shows example API calls you can make with the token

oauth2-test-server.go

A Go web server that handles OAuth2 callbacks and token exchange. Used internally by test-manual-flow.sh but can also be run standalone:

export CLIENT_ID="your-client-id"
export CLIENT_SECRET="your-client-secret"
export CODE_VERIFIER="your-code-verifier"
export STATE="your-state"
go run ./scripts/oauth2/oauth2-test-server.go

Example Workflow

  1. Run automated tests:

    ./scripts/oauth2/test-mcp-oauth2.sh
    
  2. Interactive browser testing:

    # Create app
    eval $(./scripts/oauth2/setup-test-app.sh)
    
    # Run the test server (opens in browser automatically)
    ./scripts/oauth2/test-manual-flow.sh
    # - Opens authorization URL in terminal
    # - Handles callback automatically
    # - Shows token exchange results
    
    # Clean up when done
    ./scripts/oauth2/cleanup-test-app.sh
    
  3. Generate PKCE for custom testing:

    ./scripts/oauth2/generate-pkce.sh
    # Use the generated values in your own curl commands
    

Environment Variables

All scripts respect these environment variables:

  • SESSION_TOKEN: Coder session token (auto-read from .coderv2/session)
  • BASE_URL: Coder server URL (default: http://localhost:3000)
  • CLIENT_ID: OAuth2 client ID
  • CLIENT_SECRET: OAuth2 client secret

OAuth2 Endpoints

  • Metadata: GET /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server
  • Authorization: GET/POST /oauth2/authorize
  • Token: POST /oauth2/tokens
  • Apps API: /api/v2/oauth2-provider/apps
