fix(sign): judge every object changed after signing by its signed role (#1787 follow-up) - #3440
LetoCoder26 wants to merge 6 commits into
Conversation
storytold#1787 follow-up) storytold#1787 made a signed page's resources page content whatever keys a later revision writes. Every other changed dictionary was still classified by keys in its new, attacker-written version, and signature objects could be rewritten under any DocMDP level, so modified documents validated as Valid: - a rewritten /Reason or /M, or an emptied /Reference (dropping a P=1 certification) followed by a comment; - a second field whose /V copies the signer's dictionary with another /Reason: a "valid" signature the signer never made; - a new catalog named by the trailer's /Root, with an /OpenAction; - an indirect /OCProperties rewritten with an added /FT, hiding a layer; - a signed signature widget stretched over the page with a new appearance. Changes: - Existing objects are classified by their dictionary in the signed revision (existing_change_kind); new objects keep the previous rules (new_object_kind). signed_page_resources still judges resources first. - Signature values, SigRef and TransformParams dictionaries, and signed signature fields and their widgets may not change after signing. - A signature is validated from its own dictionary only if that dictionary is in its signed revision, unchanged (Own::unchanged). - A moved trailer /Root is compared against the signed catalog. Five regression tests in crates/sign/tests/pdf.rs fail without the fix (checked by reverting it) and pass with it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Review of storytold#3440 (CodeRabbit): Own::unchanged checked only an indirect /V. A new field whose /V names the signer's own, unchanged dictionary validated as a second Valid signature, with a name, page and appearance the signer never signed. The field must now be in the signed revision, unchanged, as well as its indirect /V. A direct field can't be found there and is never the signed one (ISO 32000-2 requires fields to be indirect). a_field_reusing_the_signers_dictionary_added_after_signing_is_not_a_second_signature fails without the fix and passes with it. The two forged-field tests now share their setup. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…en it is signed in place Review of storytold#3440 (CodeRabbit): existing_change_kind took a widget's type from its nearest /FT ancestor and its value from that same ancestor, and called any change to an unsigned signature field a signature change, which every DocMDP level permits. So moving and redrawing an unsigned signature widget, or writing a value while moving it, validated under P=1, and a signed kid whose /V sits below the /FT parent was not frozen for a later signature. - field_info reads /FT and /V each from the nearest field that has it (both are inheritable). - An unsigned signature field's change is a signature change only when it signs the field and leaves it where and what it is (/Rect compared as numbers, and /Parent, /Kids, /P, /Subtype, /FT). Any other edit is a form-field edit. A move made while signing is "other changes". Strings may be re-written, since an encrypted file's writer writes them anew. Three tests fail without the fix and pass with it: an_unsigned_signature_widget_moved_or_redrawn_is_no_signature, signing_a_field_does_not_move_its_widget and a_signed_field_that_inherits_its_type_is_not_moved_or_redrawn_after_signing. signing_an_unsigned_field_later_is_a_permitted_signature_change guards legitimate later signing. The test helpers are folded into verdict_after and stretch_widget. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…ocument timestamp does not Review of storytold#3440 (CodeRabbit): permitted() allowed signature changes at every DocMDP level, and the new guard test asserted it for P=1. ISO 32000-2 §12.8.2.2 permits no changes under P=1, and signing again is one. Validation data is not: PAdES adds document timestamps (§12.8.5) and DSS data (§12.8.4.3) to certified documents. So forbidding every signature change under P=1, as suggested, would have broken long-term archiving of certified files. Under P=1, signature changes are now disallowed when a signature field holds a value the signed revision didn't give it, other than a document timestamp (later_approval_signature). Document timestamps, standalone or held by a field, and DSS updates keep the certification valid. a_later_signature_breaks_a_no_changes_certification_but_a_timestamp_does_not fails without the change on its approval-signature cases (a new field, and the empty field, for both an own and an inherited /FT) and passes with it. Its timestamp cases pass both ways. The later-signing guard now covers approval, P=2 and P=3. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Review of storytold#3440 (CodeRabbit, outside the diff): catalog_change_kind judges a /Perms difference as signing, which every level permits. /Perms names the certification signature itself, so a later revision could drop it or point it elsewhere under P=1, in place or through a new catalog named by the trailer, and the certification stayed Valid. Under P=1 a /Perms difference between the signed catalog and the current one (whichever object holds it) is now a disallowed structure change. Approval, P=2 and P=3 keep the previous behaviour. This sits next to the other P=1 rule in classify_changes instead of threading the level through existing_change_kind and catalog_change_kind. the_catalogs_perms_do_not_change_under_no_changes fails without the change (both ways Valid, Allowed(["signature"])) and passes with it.

…d by its signed role Review of storytold#3440 (CodeRabbit security architecture review): when the trailer's /Root moved, classify_changes compared the new catalog with the signed one and then skipped the new root object entirely. A later revision could overwrite signed page content (a drawn Form XObject) with an exact copy of the signed catalog and point /Root at it. The catalogs compared equal, the overwritten object was never judged, and the signature stayed Valid at every level while the page lost its text. The base rejected this through signed_page_resources, so this PR introduced it. Only a brand-new catalog object is now judged by the catalog comparison alone. An object that existed in the signed revision goes through the usual classification as well, by the role it held then. a_signed_object_turned_into_the_catalog_is_still_judged fails without the change and passes with it.

What this changes
This follows up #1787. That fix made a signed page's resources page content whatever keys a later revision writes. Any other dictionary changed after signing was still classified by keys in its new version. Signature objects were permitted to change under every DocMDP level. As a result, documents changed after signing still validated as Valid, including under P=1. The new tests cover these cases:
/Reasonor/M, or an emptied/Reference(dropping a P=1 certification) followed by a comment./Vcopies the signer's dictionary (the same/ByteRangeand/Contents) with another/Reason. It validated as a second valid signature by the same signer./Vnames the signer's own, unchanged dictionary also validated as a second valid signature, with a name, page and appearance the signer never signed./Root, adding an/OpenAction, was accepted as "form fill"./OCPropertiesrewritten with an added/FTthat hides a layer was accepted as "form fill".

Counter-signing (including on encrypted files), document timestamps and DSS updates are unaffected.later_approval_signature). Document timestamps (standalone or in a field) and DSS data still keep a P=1 certification valid, which is what PAdES long-term archiving adds to certified documents.
