fix: add usedforsecurity=False to hashlib.sha1 in tui_gateway/server (FIPS crash)

[JonthanaHanh]

Summary

The _mcp_rev_hash() function at tui_gateway/server.py:15009 uses hashlib.sha1() without usedforsecurity=False to compute a short revision hash for MCP config changes. On FIPS-enabled systems (RHEL 8/9, Ubuntu FIPS), this raises ValueError: EVP_DigestInit_ex disabled for FIPS, crashing the TUI gateway's MCP reload path.

Root Cause

return hashlib.sha1(rev_src.encode()).hexdigest()[:12]

This is the same pattern as the FIPS crashes fixed in:

• agent/context_compressor.py (PR fix: hashlib.md5 FIPS crash in context_compressor.py #56715)
• agent/codex_responses_adapter.py (PR fix: hashlib.sha1 FIPS crash in codex_responses_adapter.py #56716)
• tools/skills_hub.py, tools/skills_sync.py (PR fix: add usedforsecurity=False to hashlib md5/sha1 in skills_hub, skills_sync, web_server #62654)

This particular site was NOT covered by PR #64808 (which covered context_compressor + codex_responses_adapter hashlib calls, and assert→runtime guards in tui_gateway/server.py but NOT this hashlib call).

Fix

return hashlib.sha1(rev_src.encode(), usedforsecurity=False).hexdigest()[:12]

One line. The function is not security-sensitive — it only computes a config fingerprint for change detection.

Test Plan

• Verify syntax: python3 -c "import ast; ast.parse(open('tui_gateway/server.py').read())"
• Existing tests pass

Duplicate of #72370: the current diffs are identical one-line changes to the same _compute_mcp_rev SHA-1 call.

Current main does confirm the bare SHA-1 call, but the stated crash path does not escape _compute_mcp_rev(): tui_gateway/server.py:13058-13073 wraps the hash in except Exception and returns "" (the documented “unknown / fail open” revision). So the patch is still plausibly useful on FIPS, but the directly supported symptom is loss of MCP revision tracking, not a gateway crash.

A useful next step would be to add a regression in tests/tui_gateway/test_mcp_reload_rev.py that calls the real _compute_mcp_rev() with _load_cfg stubbed and hashlib.sha1 stubbed to reject calls unless usedforsecurity=False, then asserts a non-empty revision. The existing tests replace _compute_mcp_rev entirely, so they do not exercise this fix. Please also revise the crash claim (or include a trace showing a different uncaught call path).

Closing: 1-line change without regression tests. Please reopen with test coverage if this fix is still needed.

Verdict — The one-line change is correct in isolation: _compute_mcp_rev() computes a config fingerprint for MCP reload change detection, not a security artifact, so annotating the SHA-1 call with usedforsecurity=False (available since Python 3.9) is the right FIPS-compatibility fix for this site.

Symptom — The "crashing the TUI gateway" claim in the summary is overstated. The diff context itself shows the call sits inside try: ... except Exception: return "", so on a FIPS build the ValueError is caught and _compute_mcp_rev() returns "" — the observable failure is silent loss of MCP revision tracking, not a gateway crash. @isak-ialogics already documented this above, including a concrete regression-test recipe (stub hashlib.sha1 to reject calls lacking usedforsecurity=False, assert a non-empty revision); adding that test would also resolve the test-coverage request in this thread.

Duplicate — This PR is byte-identical to your own earlier #72370: same file, same _compute_mcp_rev() call site, same one-line change, both currently open. Our repository graph links the two as duplicates at 0.97 confidence. Please carry exactly one of them forward — the natural move is to close this newer copy and land the summary correction plus the regression test on #72370.

Related PRs:

• duplicates #72370 — same author, identical diff at the same call site
• family: this PR sits in a 20-PR cluster of weak-hash annotations (usedforsecurity=False at other call sites, e.g. #56715, #62654, #64808); per the PR summary this particular site was not covered by #64808, which is consistent with the current diff
