fix: hashlib FIPS crash in qqbot, wecom, yuanbao_media (md5/sha1 without usedforsecurity=False) - #64062
Conversation
…com, yuanbao On FIPS-enabled systems (RHEL 8/9, Ubuntu with FIPS mode), hashlib.md5() and hashlib.sha1() without usedforsecurity=False raise ValueError: "EVP_DigestInit_ex disabled for FIPS". All uses are non-security (file integrity checksums, cache keys, API signatures). Covered files: - gateway/platforms/qqbot/chunked_upload.py (4 calls: md5 x3, sha1 x1) - plugins/platforms/wecom/adapter.py (1 call: md5) - plugins/platforms/wecom/wecom_crypto.py (1 call: sha1) - gateway/platforms/yuanbao_media.py (2 calls: md5 x1, sha1 x1) Follows the same pattern as PRs NousResearch#56715, NousResearch#56716, NousResearch#56719, NousResearch#62654 which fixed identical issues in other gateway/platform files.

Code Review Summary
Verdict: Comment
This PR fixes a hashlib FIPS crash in qqbot, wecom, and yuanbao_media by adding usedforsecurity=False to md5/sha1 calls. Small, targeted fix.
Please verify:
- The
usedforsecurity=Falseflag is appropriate for each usage - No functional change in the hash outputs

Code Review Summary
Verdict: Comment
Changes
Hash security hardening: hashlib.md5/sha1 now use usedforsecurity=False. Non-cryptographic use cases (file hashing for content-addressed storage) no longer claim entropy from the system RNG, avoiding potential blocking on systems with low entropy.
Assessment
- Clean fix. usedforsecurity=False is appropriate for file content hashing (not for security/cryptographic purposes). Prevents potential blocking on entropy-constrained systems.

Thanks for identifying the remaining direct digest constructions. The current main code still contains the targeted calls, but the security classification needs narrowing before this is safe to salvage.
Problems
plugins/platforms/wecom/wecom_crypto.py:63computes the expected callback signature, whichdecrypt()compares against the received signature at lines 89-91. This is a signature-verification path, not a content checksum.gateway/platforms/yuanbao_media.py:331is inside the documented COS HMAC-SHA1 authorization flow. Its result feedsStringToSign; the function also still calls HMAC-SHA1 at lines 305-310 and 339-344, so changing only the intermediate digest does not establish FIPS compatibility for COS authentication.- No regression test asserts the new keyword.
tests/gateway/test_qqbot.py:725-745checks outputs only.
Suggested changes
- Keep
usedforsecurity=Falseonly for confirmed non-security checksum/hash uses, and resolve the callback/COS signing cases through an explicit security and protocol-compatibility decision. - Add recording-factory tests for retained opt-outs and audit the other direct digest uses by purpose; linked PR #64808 is relevant scope.

This helper generates the expected value that decrypt() compares with an inbound msg_signature at current-main lines 89-91. That is signature verification, so please do not classify this SHA1 construction as a non-security checksum without an explicit FIPS/security compatibility decision.

This value feeds StringToSign in the documented COS HMAC-SHA1 authorization flow; the function still invokes HMAC-SHA1 at current-main lines 305-310 and 339-344. Changing only this intermediate digest does not establish FIPS compatibility for request authentication.

suggesting changes The upload-digest changes preserve the protocol values expected by QQ Bot, Yuanbao COS, and WeCom. However, the patch labels the SHA-1 used to authenticate WeCom callback requests as non-security use. That suppresses FIPS/OpenSSL rejection at an inbound trust boundary without replacing the weak authentication required by the protocol, so callback mode should remain fail-closed or be explicitly gated until an approved authentication algorithm is available.
