fix: distrust compromised eMudhra roots and verify Chromium download checksum - #2468
Conversation
…checksum eMudhra issued 8 intermediates whose private keys are recoverable from the public certificates. Browsers and OS trust stores have blocked them, but Node ships its own roots and still trusts both chains (Node 14, used by the standalone executable, trusts both; Node 20+ still trusts the emSign one). - @percy/client: drop "emSign ECC Root CA - G3" and "AAA Certificate Services" (the Sectigo cross-sign path) from the default CA certificates for every TLS connection in the process. Uses tls.setDefaultCACertificates where available, otherwise defaults secure contexts to the remaining bundled roots plus NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS. Skipped when Node uses the OS trust store. - @percy/core: pin a SHA-256 for each platform's default Chromium revision and refuse to extract a downloaded archive that does not match.

Review comments at @packages/client/src/trust.js:
- Around line 16-17: Update the certificate filtering flow in
trustedCertificates so parsing failures from isTrustedCertificate are caught per
certificate and unparseable entries are discarded instead of aborting
initialization; preserve valid root and extra certificates. Add a test covering
a malformed block in the extra CA file.
- Around line 38-39: Update the flags guard in the trust initialization logic to
return only when --use-openssl-ca is present; remove the --use-system-ca
condition so execution reaches the bundled-root filtering through
tls.getCACertificates('default'). Do not add a separate NODE_USE_SYSTEM_CA
check.

…ode version Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…stem-ca
- isTrustedCertificate treats certificates that cannot be parsed as untrusted
(as Node does), so a corrupt block in NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS no longer throws
while importing @percy/client/utils.
- --use-system-ca adds the OS store to Node's bundled roots rather than
replacing them, so only --use-openssl-ca skips dropping the roots.
- trustedCertificates starts from tls.getCACertificates('default') when
available, which keeps system and extra CAs on Node versions that support
--use-system-ca but not setDefaultCACertificates.

Resolves conflicts with the eMudhra fix (#2468), release checksums (#2471) and the 1.32.12 release: - .semgrepignore: keep both new ignore blocks. - client/src/utils.js: keep master's explicit proxy agent and this branch's IPv4-first dns lookup. - cli-command/src/lockfileDiff.js: snyk-nodejs-lockfile-parser 2.10.4 (#2442) needs Node ^20.19 || ^22.13 || >=24, so a >=20 floor does not always satisfy it; keep the deferred require and say so. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Why
eMudhra issued 8 intermediate CAs whose private keys can be recovered from the public certificates (incident). Anyone on the network path can mint a certificate for
percy.io, BrowserStack APIs orstorage.googleapis.com. Browsers and OS trust stores blocked them on Oct 17–20, but Node uses its own bundled roots and has no fix yet:That exposes
PERCY_TOKEN/BrowserStack credentials and API responses, and lets an attacker swap the Chromium zip that the CLI downloads, unzips and runs.What
1. Drop the compromised roots (
@percy/client,src/trust.js)The two roots above are removed from the default CA certificates for every TLS connection in the process (https, proxy agents,
fetch).@percy/client/utilsdoes this on import.percy doctor's own prober, which sendsPERCY_TOKENbefore anything else may load the client, calls it explicitly.tls.setDefaultCACertificates(getCACertificates('default') − distrusted).cadefault to the bundled roots plusNODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS, minus the distrusted roots. Corporate CAs keep working, and an explicitcais respected.--use-openssl-ca, following Node's precedence with--use-bundled-ca.--use-system-caonly adds the OS store to the bundled roots, so the roots are still dropped there, and on Node ≥ 22.15 the list starts fromtls.getCACertificates('default')so system CAs are kept.NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTSthat cannot be parsed are skipped, as Node does, instead of throwing at import.2. Verify the Chromium download (
@percy/core,install.js)chromium.checksumspins a SHA-256 per platform for the default revisions. The archive is hashed while it streams and is never extracted on a mismatch; the archive is deleted. This also applies toPERCY_CHROMIUM_BASE_URLmirrors. Checksums were computed from fresh downloads, each matching GCS's own MD5 and size metadata.Verification
