Summary

  • require WebSub distribution signatures to use an exact algorithm=hex-digest format
  • verify the digest length before converting it to bytes
  • cover invalid hex suffixes, odd trailing nibbles, and extra separators

Bug

Node's Buffer.from(value, 'hex') silently truncates malformed input. As a result, a valid HMAC followed by characters such as zz, an extra nibble, or =ignored was accepted as the original signature.

Tests

  • vitest run packages/w3c/websub/src/index.test.ts: 13/13 passed
  • WebSub package TypeScript check: passed
  • git diff --check: passed
