🚨 Severity: HIGH
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: Found multiple http.Server initializations missing the ReadHeaderTimeout configuration.
🎯 Impact: By default, Go's http.Server does not enforce a timeout for reading headers. Attackers can hold connections open by slowly sending headers, exhausting server resources and leading to a Slowloris DoS attack.
πŸ”§ Fix: Added ReadHeaderTimeout: 10 * time.Second to all identified http.Server initializations to ensure headers are read within a reasonable timeframe.
βœ… Verification: Verified by running tests (make test) and linters (make lint). Tested to ensure callback functionalities are not disrupted by the added timeout.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Added a 10-second header-read timeout to OAuth callback servers.
    • Updated the OpenRouter callback flow to handle slow or incomplete requests more reliably.
    • Applied the same timeout behavior to supporting HTTP test infrastructure.
  • Documentation
    • Documented timeout configuration guidance for HTTP servers and related security considerations.

Added `ReadHeaderTimeout` to multiple `http.Server` initializations across the codebase to mitigate Slowloris DoS attacks (CWE-400 / gosec G112). Also added a journal entry to `.jules/sentinel.md` documenting this learning.

Walkthrough

The change adds a 10-second ReadHeaderTimeout to four Go HTTP servers and documents the configuration requirement in the Sentinel file. Existing callback routing and signaling remain unchanged.

internal/oauth/loopback.go, internal/mcp/oauth.go, internal/provideroauth/openrouter.go, internal/tools/bash_tool_test.go, .jules/sentinel.md
The loopback, OAuth callback, OpenRouter callback, and test helper servers now set ReadHeaderTimeout to 10 seconds. Sentinel documentation records the timeout requirement.
