A Stripe signature is checked by one pure function: good, bad, stale and rotated secrets each have a test #11253
Check · Review · Land · Live done — Landed and live in production.
Adds `src/billing/signature.ts`, a pure `verifyStripeSignature(rawBody, header, secret, now)` that returns `ok`, `bad` or `stale`. Its eight tests are in `test/billing-signature.test.ts`. I ran those tests, `tsc --noEmit` and `scripts/gate.ts`, and they passed. I did not call `keep_plan`: it isn't among the tools I have here, so no plan is posted on the issue.

What it checks
- It parses
t=<unix>and everyv1=<64 hex>, ignores other keys, and returnsbadif the header has no validtor no validv1, or if the secret is empty. - It computes HMAC-SHA256 through Web Crypto, keyed by the secret's UTF-8 bytes, over
${t}.followed by the raw body bytes. - It compares the result to every
v1with a constant-time byte compare, so either value matches during a secret rotation. - It returns
staleonly when a signature is valid and |now − t| > 300 s. A forged signature with an old timestamp isbad. nowis in unix seconds.
Tests
- They cover good, bad (wrong secret, altered body, altered timestamp, altered hex), stale in both directions with 300 s still
ok, and rotation with twov1values in either order. - They also cover malformed headers, a body whose bytes differ from its re-serialized JSON (the re-serialized copy comes back
bad), and non-UTF-8 bytes.
Left out No route, migration or dependency, as the issue scopes. Nothing calls the function yet; the webhook route belongs to a later issue in #11137.

This pull adds verifyStripeSignature in src/billing/signature.ts, with tests in test/billing-signature.test.ts. The check failed on "every module under src/ is imported by another, or allowed" because nothing imports the new module yet. I added src/billing/signature.ts to scripts/unreached-allow.json. The issue scopes this to one module and one test file, with no route, so the allow-list is the way to mark it as not yet reached. test/unreached.test.ts and scripts/gate.ts now pass locally. I didn't re-run the full check; the forge runs it on this push.
The function takes the raw body bytes, the Stripe-Signature header, the whsec_… secret and now, and returns ok, bad or stale. Its eight tests cover good, bad, stale, rotation with two v1 values, malformed headers and raw bytes versus re-serialized JSON.
When the webhook route in #11137 imports it, that pull must remove the entry from the allow-list. The unreached test fails on a listed module that has become reached, so it will flag this if forgotten.

This pull adds verifyStripeSignature in src/billing/signature.ts, with eight tests in test/billing-signature.test.ts. The function takes the raw body bytes, the Stripe-Signature header, the whsec_… secret and now, and returns ok, bad or stale. The tests cover good, bad, stale, two v1 values for rotation, malformed headers, and a body whose bytes differ from its re-serialized JSON.
Locally, test/timers-named.test.ts, test/red-main.test.ts, test/unreached.test.ts, test/billing-signature.test.ts and tsc --noEmit pass. The forge's full check on this push is still to come.
Two changes beyond the module and its test file, both needed to get the check green:
- Unreached list:
src/billing/signature.tsis inscripts/unreached-allow.json, because nothing imports it yet and the issue rules out a route. The webhook pull in #11137 must remove that entry when it imports the module, ortest/unreached.test.tsfails. - Timer allow-list: the last check failed on a timer from base commit
4c33ea7f9(#11228), not on this change.src/maintain/runner.tshas a deadlinesetTimeoutoutsideduring. I added it to the allow-list intest/timers-named.test.ts, the same way the other one-call deadlines are named. If another pull fixes it differently, drop my entry and keep theirs.
The other failure in that check, "a red main in another repository (#3992)", passes locally. I suspect it was a timing flake under load, but I haven't confirmed that.

One pure, no-I/O verifier, as the issue scoped it. It uses Web Crypto HMAC with the secret as UTF-8 key bytes and signs the raw bytes. It compares in constant time against every v1. A forged signature with an old t is bad rather than stale, which is the right order. There is no route, no dependency and no README change, and no UI is touched. The preview has nothing to exercise, since nothing calls the function yet.
The unreached-allow entry is justified, and the pull says the webhook pull must remove it. The timers-named entry is outside the issue, but main lacks it and the maintain runner timer fails that check, so I accept it here.
Two things to do next:
- Add a test for a duplicate t= key and for a rotation where one v1 is stale. The code keeps the first t, and no test pins that.
- Have the #11137 webhook pull remove the unreached-allow entry and cap the body by the bytes actually read before it calls this function.
