Explainer https://github.com/fedidcg/FedCM/issues/428 Specification https://github.com/fedidcg/FedCM/pull/547 Summary The fetches in the FedCM API are hard to reason about because of the properties required of them. While there is ongoing discussion regarding the accounts endpoint, there is broad consensus that the ID assertion endpoint should use CORS. This aligns security properties of this fetch more closely to other fetches in the web platform. Blink component Blink>Identity>FedCM <https://g-issues.chromium.org/issues?q=status:open%20componentid:1456331&pli=1&authuser=0> TAG review Not requesting a TAG review. We have already had extensive discussions with Fetch experts. TAG review status N/A Risks Interoperability and Compatibility This is a backwards incompatible feature, but one that is warranted due to consensus reached by our security reviewers as well as other browser vendor engineers. We have a manageable list of IDPs that we know are using the FedCM API and we have reached out to all IDPs that are currently deploying FedCM to make sure that they won’t break with this change. Gecko: Positive based on TPAC discussions and https://github.com/fedidcg/FedCM/issues/428. Not filing a standards position request for small additions at the explicit request from Firefox (they prefer PRs). WebKit: Positive based on TPAC discussions and https://github.com/fedidcg/FedCM/issues/428. Recently, standards position requests for smaller FedCM features have been closed, pointing to the (unresolved) main FedCM one in https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/309 so not filing one for this. Web developers: No signals Other signals: Ergonomics N/A Activation N/A Security By adding CORS, we add a check that the IDP explicitly agrees for the browser to share the ID assertion response to the RP. In addition, having this fetch align with most other credentialed fetches in the browser means that any future protections are received by default, and we do not have to special case this fetch. WebView application risks Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications? None Debuggability We surface errors when there is a network problem with the ID assertion fetch. This will help developers understand when this feature introduces a problem in their FedCM calls. Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, ChromeOS, Android, and Android WebView)? No. FedCM is not supported on Android WebView. Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests <https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md> ? https://wpt.fyi/results/credential-management/fedcm-identity-assertion-nocors.https.html?label=experimental&label=master&aligned (will pass on Chrome once we ship) Flag name on chrome://flags None Finch feature name FedCmIdAssertionCORS Requires code in //chrome? True (because FedCM API does) Tracking bug https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40284123 Estimated milestones DevTrial on desktop 120 DevTrial on Android 120 We want to ship on M124 Anticipated spec changes Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or interop issues. Please list open issues (e.g. links to known github issues in the project for the feature specification) whose resolution may introduce web compat/interop risk (e.g., changing to naming or structure of the API in a non-backward-compatible way). https://github.com/whatwg/fetch/issues/1637 Link to entry on the Chrome Platform Status https://chromestatus.com/feature/5094763339710464 This intent message was generated by Chrome Platform Status <https://chromestatus.com/>. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "blink-dev" group.
