This PR fixes a Medium severity vulnerability (CWE-400: Slowloris) in http.Server by adding ReadHeaderTimeout configurations to prevent resource exhaustion attacks.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 8093721826949726805 started by @euxaristia

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Security Improvements

    • Added a 10-second header-read timeout to OAuth callback servers.
    • Reduces exposure to slow, incomplete HTTP requests during login callbacks.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance documenting the timeout configuration and associated security risk.

🚨 Severity: MEDIUM
💡 Vulnerability: Found `http.Server` instances lacking `ReadHeaderTimeout` configuration.
🎯 Impact: This makes the HTTP server vulnerable to Slowloris attacks (CWE-400), which can lead to resource exhaustion and Denial of Service (DoS) by keeping connections open indefinitely.
🔧 Fix: Added `ReadHeaderTimeout: 10 * time.Second` to `http.Server` initializations in `internal/mcp/oauth.go`, `internal/oauth/loopback.go`, and `internal/provideroauth/openrouter.go`.
✅ Verification: Ran `gosec` to verify G112 rules are no longer flagged for these files. Tested via `make test` and `make lint`.

Walkthrough

Three OAuth callback HTTP servers now enforce a 10-second ReadHeaderTimeout. Existing callback handling remains unchanged. A Sentinel entry documents the missing timeout configuration and prevention guidance.
