    Repair Signed URL Canonicalization

    1

    Repair signed URL verification failures and bypasses caused by inconsistent path, query, percent-encoding, Unicode, host, port, method, duplicate-parameter, or proxy normalization.

    Repair Signed URL Canonicalization

    Repair Signed URL Canonicalization

    Example session with this skill installed

    Our Go download signer signs URL.EscapedPath and ordered query pairs, but verification rebuilds the URL from router params and url.Values, which decodes the path and sorts duplicate keys. Repair with golden vectors and local requests. Preserve HMAC, key IDs, expiry, nonce policy, proxy trust, and errors.

    • Read your context and instructions
    • Compiled the repair signed url

    Canonical-input defect found. Verification reconstructs a semantic URL rather than authenticating the same byte-level request target used by the signer, collapsing duplicate query pairs and changing escaped path bytes. The repair defines one versioned canonical byte format shared by signer/verifier, gates proxy-derived authority through existing trust policy, preserves HMAC/key/expiry/nonce/error behavior, and validates adversarial encodings with golden vectors.

    About this skill

    The problem

    Signed URL verification often fails because signers and verifiers canonicalize request targets differently. Discrepancies in path encoding, query key ordering, or proxy headers lead to intermittent 403 errors or security bypasses.

    What it does

    • Identifies mismatches between signer and verifier canonicalization logic across the repository.
    • Standardizes handling of percent-encoding, Unicode variants, and duplicate query keys.
    • Hardens proxy trust gates by ensuring verification uses preserved request targets rather than reconstructed inputs.
    • Generates byte-stable golden vectors and adversarial local fixtures for regression testing.
    • Implements redacted observability to track verification failures without leaking sensitive tokens.

    Frameworks & tools

    Works with any web framework or proxy configuration including Nginx, AWS CloudFront, Express, Go, and Python. Uses Read, Edit, and Bash tools for repository-level repairs.

    Why this beats prompting it yourself

    General LLMs often suggest simple encoding fixes that break in production behind proxies. This skill enforces a strict resource register and canonical contract, ensuring that normalization logic is consistent across the entire request lifecycle.

    Use cases

    • Resolving 403 Forbidden errors caused by URL re-encoding in middleware.
    • Securing webhook endpoints against host-header injection and request smuggling.
    • Standardizing signature verification for APIs supporting complex query parameters.
    • Debugging inconsistent verification between local development and staging environments.

    Known limitations

    Requires local repository access to signer and verifier source code. Cannot mutate live production infrastructure or rotate actual secrets.

    Cannot choose or change signature algorithm, key rotation, expiry, replay controls, authorization policy, proxy trust, and public errors; cannot verify production infrastructure or prove every runtime, proxy, network, or scheduler ordering.

    What's inside

    Frequently Asked Questions

    This skill identifies and fixes discrepancies in how your application and proxy (like Nginx or CloudFront) interpret URL encoding, query ordering, and Unicode, which typically cause intermittent 403 Forbidden errors or authentication bypasses.

    The skill works with any codebase using standard web frameworks (Express, Go, Python, etc.) and is compatible with AI agents that have Read, Edit, and Bash tool access to your local repository.

    No, the skill only requires access to your source code to repair the canonicalization logic; it never interacts with live production infrastructure or requires access to your actual signing secrets.

    Beyond code repairs, you receive a suite of byte-stable golden vectors and adversarial test fixtures to ensure your URL verification remains robust against future changes or proxy updates.

    Yes, the skill is designed to standardize canonicalization across the entire request lifecycle, specifically addressing how middleware or proxies might unintentionally re-encode URLs before they reach your verifier.
