Thomas Kosiewski f0c9c4dbcd feat: oauth2 - add RFC 8707 resource indicators and audience validation (#18575)
This pull request implements RFC 8707, Resource Indicators for OAuth 2.0 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8707), to enhance the security of our OAuth 2.0 provider. 

This change enables proper audience validation and binds access tokens to their intended resource, which is crucial
  for preventing token misuse in multi-tenant environments or deployments with multiple resource servers.

##  Key Changes:


   * Resource Parameter Support: Adds support for the resource parameter in both the authorization (`/oauth2/authorize`) and token (`/oauth2/token`) endpoints, allowing clients to specify the intended resource server.
   * Audience Validation: Implements server-side validation to ensure that the resource parameter provided during the token exchange matches the one from the authorization request.
   * API Middleware Enforcement: Introduces a new validation step in the API authentication middleware (`coderd/httpmw/apikey.go`) to verify that the audience of the access token matches the resource server being accessed.
   * Database Schema Updates:
       * Adds a `resource_uri` column to the `oauth2_provider_app_codes` table to store the resource requested during authorization.
       * Adds an `audience` column to the `oauth2_provider_app_tokens` table to bind the issued token to a specific audience.
   * Enhanced PKCE: Includes a minor enhancement to the PKCE implementation to protect against timing attacks.
   * Comprehensive Testing: Adds extensive new tests to `coderd/oauth2_test.go` to cover various RFC 8707 scenarios, including valid flows, mismatched resources, and refresh token validation.

##  How it Works:


   1. An OAuth2 client specifies the target resource (e.g., https://coder.example.com) using the resource parameter in the authorization request.
   2. The authorization server stores this resource URI with the authorization code.
   3. During the token exchange, the server validates that the client provides the same resource parameter.
   4. The server issues an access token with an audience claim set to the validated resource URI.
   5. When the client uses the access token to call an API endpoint, the middleware verifies that the token's audience matches the URL of the Coder deployment, rejecting any tokens intended for a different resource.


  This ensures that a token issued for one Coder deployment cannot be used to access another, significantly strengthening our authentication security.

Coder enables organizations to set up development environments in their public or private cloud infrastructure. Cloud development environments are defined with Terraform, connected through a secure high-speed Wireguard® tunnel, and automatically shut down when not used to save on costs. Coder gives engineering teams the flexibility to use the cloud for workloads most beneficial to them.

  • Define cloud development environments in Terraform
    • EC2 VMs, Kubernetes Pods, Docker Containers, etc.
  • Automatically shutdown idle resources to save on costs
  • Onboard developers in seconds instead of days

Quickstart

The most convenient way to try Coder is to install it on your local machine and experiment with provisioning cloud development environments using Docker (works on Linux, macOS, and Windows).

# First, install Coder
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh

# Start the Coder server (caches data in ~/.cache/coder)
coder server

# Navigate to http://localhost:3000 to create your initial user,
# create a Docker template and provision a workspace

Install

The easiest way to install Coder is to use our install script for Linux and macOS. For Windows, use the latest ..._installer.exe file from GitHub Releases.

curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh

You can run the install script with --dry-run to see the commands that will be used to install without executing them. Run the install script with --help for additional flags.

See install for additional methods.

Once installed, you can start a production deployment with a single command:

# Automatically sets up an external access URL on *.try.coder.app
coder server

# Requires a PostgreSQL instance (version 13 or higher) and external access URL
coder server --postgres-url <url> --access-url <url>

Use coder --help to get a list of flags and environment variables. Use our install guides for a complete walkthrough.
