Security Fix

This PR addresses a HIGH severity vulnerability detected by our security scanner.

Security Impact Assessment

Aspect Rating Rationale
Impact Medium Unencrypted HTTP on localhost could expose user code snippets and prompts to local malware or malicious processes monitoring loopback traffic. However, impact is limited to the local machine - no remote exposure exists since the server binds to 127.0.0.1.
Likelihood Low Exploitation requires attacker to already have code execution on the user's machine to sniff loopback traffic. At that point, the attacker likely already has access to the same data through filesystem or memory access, making this specific vector redundant.
Ease of Fix Medium Requires implementing TLS/HTTPS for local server communication, including certificate generation/management for localhost, updating both extension client and server code to handle HTTPS, and ensuring certificate trust chain works across different operating systems without user intervention.

This demonstration shows how the vulnerability could be exploited to help you understand its severity and prioritize remediation.

How This Vulnerability Can Be Exploited

The VSCode extension in this repository establishes an unencrypted HTTP connection to a local server running on the loopback interface (127.0.0.1), transmitting sensitive data such as user prompts, code snippets, and authentication tokens in cleartext. An attacker with local access to the user's machine—obtained through malware, physical access, or a compromised user account—can intercept this traffic using network sniffing tools, as the loopback interface is accessible to any process running on the host. This allows eavesdropping on all communications between the extension and the server, potentially capturing API keys, session tokens, or proprietary code being processed.

An attacker with local access to the user's machine—obtained through malware, physical access, or a compromised user account—can intercept this traffic using network sniffing tools, as the loopback interface is accessible to any process running on the host. This allows eavesdropping on all communications between the extension and the server, potentially capturing API keys, session tokens, or proprietary code being processed.

To demonstrate exploitation, assume the attacker has local shell access on the target machine (e.g., via a compromised user account or malware like a keylogger). The following steps use tcpdump (a standard packet capture tool) to sniff HTTP traffic on the loopback interface. This is repository-specific because the extension's communication is hardcoded in sdks/vscode/src/extension.ts (e.g., likely using Node.js http or axios modules for requests to http://127.0.0.1:<port>), making it predictable and easy to target without needing to reverse-engineer the protocol.

# Step 1: Install tcpdump if not present (on Linux/macOS; attacker could bundle this with malware)
sudo apt-get install tcpdump  # On Ubuntu/Debian
# or brew install tcpdump      # On macOS

# Step 2: Identify the local server's port by inspecting the extension code or running processes
# The extension likely starts a local server on a fixed port (e.g., 3000 or 8080, as common in SST's tooling).
# Attacker can check running processes: ps aux | grep node (since extension.ts is Node.js-based)
# For this repo, assume port 3000 based on typical SST local dev setups.

# Step 3: Capture HTTP traffic on loopback interface (lo0 on macOS, lo on Linux)
# Run as root or with sudo to access raw packets
sudo tcpdump -i lo -A -s0 port 3000
# -i lo: Capture on loopback interface
# -A: Print packet contents in ASCII (shows HTTP headers/body in cleartext)
# -s0: Capture full packets
# port 3000: Filter to the assumed server port (adjust based on repo's config)

# Example output snippet (simulated based on repo's HTTP traffic):
# POST /api/process HTTP/1.1
# Host: 127.0.0.1:3000
# Content-Type: application/json
# 
# {"prompt": "Deploy AWS Lambda with API key: sk-1234567890abcdef", "code": "export const handler = (event) => { ... }", "token": "bearer-xyz"}

# Alternative: Use Wireshark for GUI-based capture (install via apt/brew, then capture on lo interface with filter "tcp port 3000")
# This provides the same cleartext visibility, allowing export of captured data for offline analysis.

# Step 4: Extract sensitive data from captured packets
# Attacker can pipe tcpdump output to a file and grep for keywords
sudo tcpdump -i lo -w capture.pcap port 3000
# Then analyze: tcpdump -r capture.pcap -A | grep -i "prompt\|token\|key"
# This reveals user inputs, such as SST deployment prompts containing AWS API keys or code with embedded secrets.

Exploitation Impact Assessment

Impact Category Severity Description
Data Exposure High Sensitive data including user prompts (e.g., code snippets with business logic), authentication tokens (e.g., SST session tokens or API keys for cloud deployments), and potentially embedded secrets (e.g., AWS credentials in deployment code) could be captured in cleartext. In this repository's context, which handles serverless code and deployments, leaked API keys could enable unauthorized cloud resource access or code theft, affecting users' AWS accounts or proprietary SST projects.
System Compromise Low No direct system access is gained; the vulnerability only exposes data in transit. An attacker could not execute code or escalate privileges solely through this interception, as it requires pre-existing local access and does not allow injection or manipulation of the HTTP traffic.
Operational Impact Low No service disruption occurs, as interception is passive and does not interfere with the extension-server communication. The local server continues functioning normally, but captured data could lead to secondary attacks like credential stuffing if tokens are reused.
Compliance Risk Medium Violates OWASP Top 10 A02:2021 (Cryptographic Failures) by transmitting sensitive data unencrypted. For repositories handling cloud deployments (like SST), this could breach SOC2 CC6.1 (data protection) or industry standards for secure coding tools, potentially leading to audit failures if user data involves regulated information (e.g., no direct GDPR/HIPAA violation unless PII is involved, but risk increases with code containing personal data).
