Bref Doesn't Support Multiple Value Headers in ApiGatewayFormatV2

Published: 2/1/2024Modified: 2/16/2024

Description

## Impacted Resources bref/src/Event/Http/HttpResponse.php:61-90 ## Description When Bref is used in combination with an API Gateway with the v2 format, it does not handle multiple values headers. Precisely, if PHP generates a response with two headers having the same key but different values only the latest one is kept. ## Impact If an application relies on multiple headers with the same key being set for security reasons, then Bref would lower the application security. For example, if an application sets multiple `Content-Security-Policy` headers, then Bref would just reflect the latest one. ## PoC 1. Create a new Bref project. 2. Create an `index.php` file with the following content: ```php <?php header("Content-Security-Policy: script-src 'none'", false); header("Content-Security-Policy: img-src 'self'", false); ?> <script>alert(document.domain)</script> <img src="https://bref.sh/favicon-32x32.png"> ``` 3. Use the following `serverless.yml` to deploy the Lambda: ```yaml service: app provider: name: aws region: eu-central-1 plugins: - ./vendor/bref/bref functions: api: handler: index.php description: '' runtime: php-81-fpm timeout: 28 # in seconds (API Gateway has a timeout of 29 seconds) events: - httpApi: '*' # Exclude files from deployment package: patterns: - '!node_modules/**' - '!tests/**' ``` 4. Browse the Lambda URL. 5. Notice that the JavaScript code is executed as the `Content-Security-Policy: script-src 'none'` header has been removed. 6. Notice that the external image has not been loaded as the `Content-Security-Policy: img-src 'self'` header has been kept. 7. Start a PHP server inside the project directory (e.g. `php -S 127.0.0.1:8090`). 8. Browse the `index.php` script through the PHP server (e.g. http://127.0.0.1:8090/index.php). 9. Notice that the JavaScript code is not executed as the `Content-Security-Policy: script-src 'none'` header has been kept. 10. Notice that the external image has not been loaded as the `Content-Security-Policy: img-src 'self'` header has been kept. ## Suggested Remediation Concatenate all the multiple value headers' values with a comma (`,`) as separator and return a single header with all the values to the API Gateway. ## References - https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110.html#section-5.2
