From 3749f866586b27547a0f6353e9993626ede23ade Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kris Coleman Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2025 16:45:07 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix: critical security and concurrency issues MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This commit addresses all critical issues identified in the code review: ๐Ÿ”’ SECURITY FIXES: - Replace insecure math/rand with crypto/rand for jitter generation - Ensures cryptographically secure randomness to prevent predictable patterns - Eliminates race conditions in concurrent jitter usage โšก CONCURRENCY FIXES: - Fix StopPolicy race condition by moving timing to retrier - Remove shared state (startTime) from policy structs - Ensure thread-safe operation across goroutines ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ OVERFLOW PROTECTION: - Add bounds checking in exponential backoff calculations - Prevent integer overflow with large attempt numbers - Graceful handling of infinite/NaN multiplier values โœ… INPUT VALIDATION: - Add comprehensive parameter validation to all constructors - Prevent negative delays, attempts, and invalid multipliers - Clear panic messages for invalid inputs ๐Ÿงช ENHANCED TESTING: - Add comprehensive validation tests (validation_test.go) - Test overflow protection and security improvements - Verify proper error handling and edge cases - Update StopPolicy tests to reflect architectural changes ๐Ÿ”ง INFRASTRUCTURE: - Fix timer leaks with proper cleanup on context cancellation - Use time.NewTimer() with explicit Stop() calls - Better error messages and code documentation All tests pass (30/30) with no regressions.
