Related: DSPX-4589 (zip reader hardening, #398), DSPX-5070 (fuzzing in CI; this PR adds the CI job, and the PR replay and alerting are still to do there), DSPX-5073 (the fuzzTDF NPE)

Runs the Jazzer fuzz targets after merges to main that touch the fuzzed code. Also tightens the fuzzZipRead target and gives it seeds for zip structures the existing corpus never reaches. No SDK code changes.

Fuzzing in CI (.github/workflows/fuzz.yaml)

  • When: on pushes to main that touch sdk/src/**, any pom.xml, or the workflow itself, plus workflow_dispatch. Merges that can't change the fuzzed code, such as docs, cmdline, or examples, don't spend runner time. A concurrency group means a burst of merges queues a single run of the latest commit, and a run that's already fuzzing isn't cancelled. Not on pull requests: a real fuzz run takes the full 10-minute maxDuration per target, which is too slow for the payoff on every change.
  • What: one matrix job per @FuzzTest (fuzzZipRead, fuzzTDF), because Jazzer fuzzes one target per run. fail-fast: false keeps one target's result from cancelling the other.
  • Corpus: the corpus Jazzer generates (sdk/.cifuzz-corpus) is cached per target. It is saved even when a run fails, so each run continues from the last.
  • Findings: the job fails, and the reproducing crash-* input plus the surefire reports are uploaded as fuzz-findings-<target>. Fix the bug, then commit the input under FuzzingInputs/<target>/ so that it replays.
  • Build: same setup as checks.yaml (buf auth, sdk-fips-bc installed for the default non-fips profile), with the same pinned actions. upload-artifact is newly pinned to v4.6.2.

I ran the job's Maven commands locally. On a finding, the job fails and Jazzer writes the crash-* file where the upload glob looks for it. The corpus lands at the cached path.

fuzzTDF will be red until the existing NullPointerException (DSPX-5073, see Caveats) is fixed. Jazzer replays the checked-in inputs before it starts fuzzing, and one of them already hits it.

Zip fuzz target

  • fuzzZipRead no longer swallows IllegalArgumentException. The harness used to catch it along with InvalidZipException, so a reader that seeks to a corrupt offset instead of rejecting the archive passed silently. It now expects only:

    • InvalidZipException;
    • IOException;
    • JsonParseException, which comes from parsing the .json entries, not from the zip itself.

    Anything else fails the target.

  • Seven seed archives in FuzzingInputs/fuzzZipRead/:

    • seed-zip64: zip64 end of central directory record and locator;
    • seed-zip64-entry-count-only: zip64 record where only the entry count needs it;
    • seed-zip64-trailing-data: zip64 archive followed by trailing bytes;
    • seed-zip64-comment-with-decoy-signature: a stray PK\5\6 inside the comment;
    • seed-plain-utf8-names: non-ASCII entry names with general purpose bit 11 set;
    • seed-empty: a bare end of central directory record;
    • seed-commons-zip64-always: written by commons-compress with Zip64Mode.Always.
  • .cifuzz-corpus/ is ignored. Jazzer writes its generated corpus there during fuzzing runs.

Results

On main (#415) with this change:

With #398's reader, a 10-minute run (about 130k executions) also found nothing. Main is still exposed to the bugs #398 fixes, but they don't show up as exceptions, so this harness can't see them:

  • a stalled channel needs a channel that returns empty reads, which the in-memory channel never does;
  • silently short entries and negative entry counts produce a wrong result without throwing.

#398's unit tests cover those.

Caveats

  • PR checks never run Fuzzing. Surefire only picks up classes named like *Test, and the pom doesn't add an include. So outside the fuzz workflow, these seeds and the existing crash-* inputs replay only when you run -Dtest=Fuzzing yourself. Once fuzzTDF is fixed, a cheap follow-up would replay the corpus on PRs, which takes about 3 seconds. It would need either renaming the class to FuzzingTest or adding a Surefire include.
  • The existing fuzzTDF corpus fails on main. Running -Dtest='Fuzzing#fuzzTDF' on main hits a NullPointerException at Manifest.readManifest (Manifest.java:673). gson.fromJson returns null for a manifest whose JSON is null or empty, and readManifest dereferences it before its own null checks. CI hides this for the reason above. It isn't fixed here; DSPX-5073 tracks it. Until it is fixed, the fuzzTDF job fails, and because the workflow runs on push, that shows as a red check on the main commits that trigger it.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Automated fuzz-testing checks now run for SDK ZIP and TDF input handling when relevant source files change, or when started manually. The checks run independently, preserve their test corpora, and collect failure reports and crash inputs.
    • Malformed-input exceptions are now surfaced to fuzz testing instead of being ignored.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The ZIP-reading fuzz target now allows IllegalArgumentException to reach the fuzzer. A new GitHub Actions workflow runs fuzzZipRead and fuzzTDF, saves their corpora, and uploads failure artifacts. .gitignore excludes generated corpus data.

Changes

Fuzzing input handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
ZIP fuzz target and corpus handling
sdk/src/test/java/io/opentdf/platform/sdk/Fuzzing.java
fuzzZipRead no longer catches IllegalArgumentException. Its comment distinguishes expected JSON parsing errors from other exceptions.
Automated fuzz runs and corpus artifacts
.github/workflows/fuzz.yaml, .gitignore
The workflow runs fuzzZipRead and fuzzTDF in separate matrix jobs on matching pushes or manual dispatch. It saves corpora and uploads crash inputs and Surefire reports on failure. .gitignore excludes .cifuzz-corpus/.

A rabbit checks the fuzzing run,
And watches odd inputs leap and spin.
The ZIP target lets errors show,
While corpora gather as runs go.
Crash reports wait when tests fail,
Then bunny ears salute the trail.

…d, add zip seeds

Add a workflow that runs each @fuzztest in Fuzzing for its full
maxDuration, one matrix job per target, since Jazzer fuzzes one target per
run. It does not run on pull requests: fuzzing takes ten minutes per
target, which is too slow for the payoff on every change.

It runs on pushes to main that touch sdk/src, a pom.xml, or the workflow
itself, so merges that cannot change the fuzzed code do not spend runner
time. A concurrency group coalesces bursts of merges into a single queued
run of the latest commit. It can also be started by hand.

The corpus Jazzer generates is cached per target and saved even when the
run fails, so each run continues from the last. When a target finds
something, the reproducing crash-* input and the surefire reports are
uploaded as an artifact.

fuzzZipRead swallowed IllegalArgumentException along with the expected
InvalidZipException, so a reader that seeks to a corrupt offset instead of
rejecting the archive passed silently. Only InvalidZipException,
IOException, and JsonParseException (from parsing the .json entries) are
now expected; anything else fails the fuzz target.

Add seed archives covering structures the existing corpus does not reach:
zip64 end of central directory records (full, entry-count-only, with
trailing data, with a decoy signature in the comment), UTF-8 entry names,
an empty archive, and a commons-compress Zip64Mode.Always archive.

Ignore the .cifuzz-corpus directory that Jazzer writes during fuzzing runs.
