# Changelog
All notable changes to KeyFinder are documented here. Format follows [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/). Versioning follows [SemVer](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
## [Unreleased]
### Added
- `SECURITY.md` with threat model, disclosure policy, and known limitations of the MAIN <-> ISOLATED nonce bridge
- `.github/dependabot.yml` for weekly GitHub Actions version bumps
- `CHANGELOG.md`
### Changed
- CSV export sanitiser now also prefixes cells starting with LF (`\n`), not just `=`, `+`, `-`, `@`, tab, CR
- Popup and results page version label is now read from the manifest at runtime instead of being hardcoded
- Window-global scan in `js/interceptor.js` now runs at `document_start`, `DOMContentLoaded`, and `load`, with per-name dedupe. The previous implementation only scanned at `document_start` when page globals had not yet been assigned, making the entire pass dead code on most real pages
## [2.1.0] - 2026-04-14
### Added
- Per-session nonce validation between MAIN-world interceptor and ISOLATED content script to prevent forged finding injection
- CSV formula-injection sanitiser on findings export
- Serialised storage writes to eliminate cross-tab race conditions
- 5000-finding cap with FIFO eviction
- Per-tab alert badge with red-dot icon overlay when secrets are detected
- MutationObserver scans dynamically-injected DOM nodes for SPA coverage
- Explicit Content Security Policy in Chrome and Firefox manifests
- `js/interceptor-loader.js` for both browsers, replacing direct MAIN-world content script on Firefox so the nonce handoff actually works
- GitHub Actions release pipeline (`.github/workflows/release.yml`): on `v*` tag, build Chrome + Firefox zips, compute SHA256, attach to GitHub Release
- GitHub Actions CI pipeline (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`): manifest JSON validation, Chrome <-> Firefox version parity check, build verification, `web-ext lint` on the Firefox bundle
### Changed
- Keyword input validation: 50 character maximum, 50 keyword maximum
- Findings are now deleted by unique ID instead of URL substring match
- URL parameter scanner uses exact match instead of substring (was matching `author` as `auth`)
- Keyword scanner enforces word boundaries (was matching `key` inside `hotkey`, `monkey`)
- camelCase JS identifiers are now skipped in keyword value matches
- Sentry DSN downgraded from `high` to `low` severity (public by design)
### Fixed
- Stored finding race conditions across concurrent tabs
- False positives from GitHub localStorage caches (`ref-selector:*`, `jump_to:*`, `soft-nav:*`, `COPILOT_*`)
- False positives from common CSRF tokens (`authenticity_token`, `csrf_token`, `__RequestVerificationToken`)
- False positives from keyboard shortcut data attributes (`data-hotkey`, `data-hotkey-scope`)
## [2.0.0] - 2026-04-07
### Added
- Complete rewrite to Manifest V3
- Enterprise-grade secret detection with 80+ regex patterns covering AWS, GCP, Azure, GitHub, GitLab, Stripe, PayPal, Square, Slack, Discord, and more
- Firefox support (MV3, Firefox 128+)
- Privacy policy
- Replaced demo gifs with professional logo
### Removed
- Manifest V2 background page
- Legacy jQuery dependency

# Security Policy
## Reporting a vulnerability
Email **security reports** privately to the address on the maintainer's GitHub profile.
Do **not** open a public issue for unpatched vulnerabilities.
When reporting, include:
- Affected version (`manifest.json` `version` field)
- Browser and version
- Steps to reproduce
- Impact assessment (what an attacker gains)
A response is targeted within 7 days.
## Threat model
KeyFinder runs as a content script in every page the user visits and reports findings to a service worker. It is **client-side, passive, and read-only** with respect to the page.
### In scope
- Privilege escalation from a malicious page into the extension's service worker
- Persistent storage poisoning via crafted findings
- Cross-tab data leakage through `chrome.storage`
- CSV / JSON export injection (formulas, embedded HTML, JS)
- Manifest / CSP weaknesses enabling code injection into the extension's own pages
- Pattern-rule false positives that consistently leak benign data into findings
### Out of scope
- A malicious page generating **fake findings** in the user's results view. The MAIN-world interceptor and the ISOLATED content script communicate over `CustomEvent` with a per-page nonce stored as a `data-kf-verify` attribute on `documentElement`. The nonce is removed once the content script consumes it, but a page script that runs between `document_start` and `document_idle` can read the attribute and forge events. Mitigation cost is high (Symbols don't cross realms; postMessage is also page-visible). The impact is limited to **showing the user a finding that isn't real** - no data is exfiltrated, no privileged API is reached. Treat findings on a hostile page as advisory.
- Detection accuracy of individual regex rules. False positives and false negatives are expected; report a tuning issue rather than a CVE.
- Extension being uninstalled or disabled by the user.
## What the extension can see
| Surface | Scope |
|---|---|
| Page DOM | All pages (`<all_urls>`) at `document_idle` (ISOLATED world) and `document_start` (MAIN world interceptor) |
| Network | `fetch` and `XMLHttpRequest` responses initiated by the page (response bodies up to 500 KB are scanned) |
| Web storage | `localStorage`, `sessionStorage`, `document.cookie` on the page |
| Inter-extension | None. No host permissions beyond `activeTab` and `storage` |
The extension makes **no outbound network requests** other than fetching same-origin scripts already referenced by the page.
## Known limitations
- **Per-tab badge dot** is set on the first finding only; subsequent findings update the count but not the icon
- **5000 finding cap** with FIFO eviction. High-volume scans (heavy SPAs over a long session) will drop oldest findings
- **CSV export** prefixes a single-quote on cells starting with `=`, `+`, `-`, `@`, tab, or carriage return to neutralise Excel / Sheets formula injection. Line-feed prefix is not currently neutralised
- **Service worker restarts** drop the in-flight `storageQueue` Promise chain. Subsequent storage writes are still serialised; only pending writes from the killed worker are lost
## Supported versions
| Version | Supported |

| 2.1.x | yes |
