From 8706410d941d478382962b221754550bcc607ec4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeongkyu Shin Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2025 15:24:37 +0900 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] fix: Query SSH agent for identities before selecting agent auth for jump hosts When SSH_AUTH_SOCK is set but the agent has no loaded identities, bssh now falls back to key file authentication instead of failing. This matches OpenSSH's behavior where ssh -J works by trying the agent first, then falling back to key files when the agent is empty. The fix adds an agent_has_identities() helper function that queries the agent before returning AuthMethod::Agent. If the agent has no identities or communication fails, the code falls through to try SSH key files.

When SSH agent is running but has no loaded identities, now correctly falls back to key file authentication instead of failing. This fixes the issue where jump host connection succeeds but destination host authentication fails because the main auth module was not checking agent identity availability. The fix: - Adds agent_has_identities() function with 5-second timeout - agent_auth() now verifies agent has identities before returning Agent method - Falls back to default key files (~/.ssh/id_rsa, etc.) when agent is empty --- src/ssh/auth.rs | 76 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 73 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/ssh/auth.rs b/src/ssh/auth.rs index b21ba023..4aa1259a 100644 --- a/src/ssh/auth.rs +++ b/src/ssh/auth.rs @@ -35,6 +35,50 @@ use super::tokio_client::AuthMethod; /// Maximum time to wait for password/passphrase input const AUTH_PROMPT_TIMEOUT: Duration = Duration::from_secs(30); +/// Timeout for SSH agent operations (5 seconds) +/// This prevents indefinite hangs if the agent is unresponsive (e.g., waiting for hardware token) +#[cfg(not(target_os = "windows"))] +const AGENT_TIMEOUT: Duration = Duration::from_secs(5); + +/// Check if the SSH agent has any loaded identities. +/// +/// This function queries the SSH agent to determine if it has any keys loaded. +/// Returns `true` if the agent has at least one identity, `false` otherwise. +/// If communication with the agent fails or times out, returns `false` to allow +/// fallback to key files. +/// +/// Note: Includes a 5-second timeout to prevent hanging if the agent is unresponsive. +#[cfg(not(target_os = "windows"))] +async fn agent_has_identities() -> bool { + use russh::keys::agent::client::AgentClient; + + let result = timeout(AGENT_TIMEOUT, async { + let mut agent = AgentClient::connect_env().await?; + agent.request_identities().await + }) + .await; + + match result { + Ok(Ok(identities)) => { + let has_keys = !identities.is_empty(); + if has_keys { + tracing::debug!("SSH agent has {} loaded identities", identities.len()); + } else { + tracing::debug!("SSH agent is running but has no loaded identities"); + } + has_keys + } + Ok(Err(e)) => { + tracing::warn!("Failed to communicate with SSH agent: {e}"); + false + } + Err(_) => { + tracing::warn!("SSH agent operation timed out after {:?}", AGENT_TIMEOUT); + false + } + } +} + /// Maximum username length to prevent DoS attacks const MAX_USERNAME_LENGTH: usize = 256; @@ -387,7 +431,14 @@ impl AuthContext { Ok(AuthMethod::with_password(&password)) } - /// Attempt SSH agent authentication with atomic check. + /// Attempt SSH agent authentication with identity check. + /// + /// This function verifies that the SSH agent has loaded identities before + /// returning `AuthMethod::Agent`.
