The follow-up in 4a1517d correctly addresses the earlier node:tls Server gap — rejectUnauthorizedDefault() is now only reached from tls.connect (src/js/node/tls.ts:1523), and both Server sites default to a hardcoded true. Deferring final sign-off to a human given this changes TLS peer-verification defaults across every server/client entry point.
Extended reasoning...
My prior review flagged that src/js/node/tls.ts still sourced the Server's _rejectUnauthorized default from NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED, defeating the native-layer is_server fallback. Commit 4a1517d fixes both sites (constructor and setSecureContext) and adds a subprocess regression test. I re-checked: rejectUnauthorizedDefault() now has exactly one caller (the tls.connect client path), SocketMode::is_server() exists and covers DuplexServer, and every SSLConfig::from_js / tls_true_defaults call site in the diff passes a role that matches its use. Not approving because this is security-sensitive TLS verification logic spanning many surfaces; a human should confirm the role assignment at each call site.

No issues found on this pass — both earlier findings (the node:tls Server default and the undrained stderr) and CodeRabbit's test-hardening note are addressed. Deferring to a human because this changes the TLS rejectUnauthorized default across ~10 server/client call sites; worth a second pair of eyes on security-sensitive code.
What was reviewed:
- Verified each
SSLConfig::from_jscall site'sis_serverargument matches its role (Bun.serve/listen/addServerName → true; fetch/WebSocket/SQL/valkey/SecureContext → false; upgradeTLS/duplex → the socket's ownis_server). - Confirmed
SocketMode::is_server()covers bothServerandDuplexServer, soBun.listenand duplex server wraps both get the strict default. - Checked the
tls.tsServer constructor +setSecureContextnow hardcodetrue(Node'soptions.rejectUnauthorized !== falsesemantics) whiletls.connectstill readsrejectUnauthorizedDefault(). - Both new subprocess tests drain stdout/stderr/exited concurrently and assert the specific rejection signal, not just closure.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
This PR fixes a security bug where NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 (a client-only knob in Node) was silently disabling a Bun server's client-certificate enforcement when rejectUnauthorized was left unset. The fix threads an is_server: bool parameter through SSLConfig::from_js / from_generated / tls_true_defaults so that servers default an unset rejectUnauthorized to true unconditionally, while clients keep consulting the env var. It touches 12 files: the SSLConfig parser itself, ~10 call sites that must now declare their role, the node:tls JS layer (Server constructor + setSecureContext), and two new subprocess test suites.
Security risks
The change is a security hardening — it closes a path where an env var meant to loosen outbound-client verification was also loosening inbound mTLS enforcement. The residual risk is a mislabeled call site: a server path passing false would reintroduce the bug, and a client path passing true would make NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 stop working for that client (stricter, not weaker, but a behavior change). I audited each call site against its role and they all look correct. SecureContext (role-agnostic) keeps the client default, which preserves tls.createSecureContext's current behavior; Node's own SecureContext doesn't carry a role either. An explicit rejectUnauthorized from the user still wins in both directions, so no user opt-in/opt-out is overridden.
Level of scrutiny
High — this is TLS certificate-verification default behavior, exactly the kind of code the approval guidelines flag as needing human review. Even though the change is straightforward (one boolean threaded through, plus two hardcoded trues in the JS layer), a mistake here silently disables mTLS enforcement, and the blast radius covers Bun.serve, Bun.listen, node:tls/https/http2, upgradeTLS, and SNI contexts.
Other factors
Two prior automated-review findings on this PR (the node:tls Server layer defeating the native fix, and an undrained subprocess stderr) were both fixed in follow-up commits, as was CodeRabbit's request to assert the certificate-rejection signal rather than mere closure. The new tests spawn under NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 and cover both the Bun-native (Bun.listen/Bun.connect) and node:tls server paths, plus a positive control that the client-side env-var behavior is preserved. The PR description notes the existing TLS suites still pass. Given the security-sensitive surface, deferring to a human reviewer rather than auto-approving.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Both earlier findings are addressed and I didn't spot anything further, but this changes the TLS rejectUnauthorized default across ~10 native call sites plus the node:tls Server path — worth a human sign-off on the server/client role classification at each site.
What was reviewed:
- Verified each

Extended reasoning...
Overview
The PR threads an is_server: bool through SSLConfig::from_js / from_generated / tls_true_defaults so an unset rejectUnauthorized defaults to true for servers and to NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED for clients, matching Node. It updates ~10 call sites across ServerConfig.rs, Handlers.rs, Listener.rs, socket_body.rs, SecureContext.rs, hw_exports.rs, js_valkey.rs, fetch.rs, and the WebSocket export in SSLConfig.rs. In src/js/node/tls.ts, the Server constructor and setSecureContext now hardcode _rejectUnauthorized = true instead of consulting the env var. Two subprocess-based regression tests cover Bun.listen (server enforces, client still honors env var) and tls.createServer (asserts tlsClientError with UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY).
Security risks
This is TLS certificate-verification default logic — squarely security-sensitive. The change moves in the fail-closed direction (servers become stricter regardless of env), so the primary risk is not a new weakening but a misclassified call site: a server path passed false would regress to the pre-PR behavior, and a client path passed true would ignore NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 (fail-closed but a behavior change). I checked each site against its role and they look correct; SecureContext deliberately keeps the client default (it's role-agnostic and its reject_unauthorized isn't what drives the per-socket enforcement — resolve_reject_unauthorized does).
Level of scrutiny
High. Per the review guidelines this falls under "never remove a flag you don't understand in a TLS/crypto path" territory — the role flag at each call site is a security decision, and tls.ts is a Node-compat surface where the reference implementation is the spec. The change is small and mechanical per site, but the aggregate touches enough distinct entry points (Bun.serve, Bun.listen/connect, upgradeTLS, duplex upgrade, SNI addServerName, node:tls, fetch, WebSocket, SQL, valkey) that a human should confirm nothing was missed or mis-roled.
Other factors
Both of my earlier findings (the tls.ts layer defeating the native fix, and the undrained stderr in the node-tls-server test) were addressed in 4a1517d and 474dbbf, and CodeRabbit's test-hardening request (assert tlsClientError, not just !sawSecureConnection) was addressed in 1aa6fb9. The bug-hunting system found nothing on this revision. Tests look sound: subprocess isolation for the env-var read, all pipes drained, exact error code asserted, and a control test proving the client-side default still honors the env var.

The remaining CI failures are unrelated flaky lanes, not the diff: an HTTP/3 1MB POST stream reset in serve-protocols.test.ts on windows-aarch64, and a no-orphans perl timeout on macOS (both marked flaky by CI, both also failed on runs of other PRs). All TLS suites pass, and the two previous red lanes were a filesystem_router segfault on main (reported separately) and similar known flakes. The diff is ready for review. |

Both earlier points are addressed — the node:tls Server default is serverOptions?.rejectUnauthorized !== false on the current base (so the explicit-boolean bypass I flagged no longer applies), and the node-tls-server subprocess test now drains and asserts stderr. I didn't find further bugs; the change strictly tightens the server-side default. Given it alters TLS certificate-verification semantics, a human sign-off is still worthwhile.
What was reviewed:

Extended reasoning...
Overview
The PR threads an is_server: bool through SSLConfig::from_js / from_generated / tls_true_defaults so an unset rejectUnauthorized defaults to true for servers and to vm.get_tls_reject_unauthorized() (the NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED env read) only for clients. Nine Rust call sites are updated with the correct role, and two subprocess test suites cover Bun.listen and tls.createServer under NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0. Since the previous review pass, the PR was rebased onto a base where src/js/node/tls.ts line 1218 already hardcodes the Server default to !== false (and setSecureContext never touches _rejectUnauthorized), so the JS-layer bypass I raised earlier no longer exists; commit 2abdc94 also fixed the stderr-drain nit and 3350ad1 tightened the assertion to the specific UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY code.
Security risks
This is a TLS certificate-verification default. The change is fail-closed in direction: servers can no longer have their client-cert enforcement silently disabled by a process-wide env var, matching Node. Client behavior is unchanged (false at every client call site preserves the env-var read). An explicit user-supplied rejectUnauthorized still takes precedence via Option::unwrap_or_else. SecureContext (role-agnostic tls.createSecureContext) keeps the client default, which preserves existing behavior for that API. I did not find a path where the new parameter loosens verification.
Level of scrutiny
High — REVIEW.md flags TLS/crypto paths and "security checks fail closed" as merge-blocking territory, and the approval guidelines say not to auto-approve crypto/permissions changes. The diff itself is small and mechanical (a boolean threaded through ~10 call sites plus one || expression), but the semantics it governs are user-visible security enforcement, so a maintainer should confirm the role assignment at each call site and the SecureContext client-default choice.
Other factors
Test quality is good: subprocess isolation (env var read at startup), port: 0, both pipes drained concurrently, stdout asserted before exit code, describe.concurrent for the independent spawns, and the verdict is driven by the actual close/data event rather than a timeout. The node-tls-server test asserts the specific rejection code, so it can't pass on an unrelated handshake failure. No CODEOWNERS-style file gates these paths beyond normal review.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline findings, I also checked whether a Bun.listen/Bun.serve server that sets ca without requestCert starts refusing cert-less clients under NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 after this change. It does, but that is the same SSL_VERIFY_PEER | SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT mode us_ssl_ctx_build_raw (packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/openssl.c, the ca branches) already applies to such a server when the env var is unset, so the PR only stops the env var from weakening the documented default rather than introducing a new rejection path.
Extended reasoning...
The diff threads an is_server flag through SSLConfig::from_js / from_generated / tls_true_defaults and updates every caller (listen, serve, upgradeTLS/duplex upgrade, SecureContext, SQL, WebSocket, valkey, fetch), changing only the default for an unset rejectUnauthorized on server-role paths. This is TLS client-authentication enforcement, a security-sensitive surface; the bug hunt was cut off at its findings cap with several findings posted inline and more unposted, so approval is not on the table and this note only records one additional concern that was examined and ruled out.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline finding, I also checked for missed callers of the changed helpers: the SQL crate's 3-arg SSLConfig::from_js in src/sql_jsc/shared/ConnectionCtorArgs.rs is a hook wrapper that lands in hw_exports.rs where false is passed, so every construction site now carries a role. The node:tls Server path raised in an earlier round is moot on this base (tls.ts hardcodes the server default to true, so no explicit boolean reintroduces the env var). The "ca without requestCert now rejects cert-less clients under the env var" behavior matches what the base already does without the env var (openssl.c sets FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT from ca + rejectUnauthorized alone), so it is pre-existing rather than introduced here.
Extended reasoning...
The change threads an is_server flag through SSLConfig construction so an unset rejectUnauthorized defaults to true for servers and to NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED for clients, touching the TLS client-certificate enforcement path for Bun.listen, Bun.serve, upgradeTLS and SNI contexts. All in-tree callers were grepped and their roles verified, including the SQL crate's hook-based wrapper. An inline test-quality finding is being posted and other verified findings remain unposted, so this is not an approval; the note records the whole-class caller check and two candidates ruled out this run.

…tUnauthorized default The default for an unset rejectUnauthorized came from vm.get_tls_reject_unauthorized() (which reads NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED) regardless of whether the SSLConfig was being built for a server or a client. In Node the env var only changes the client-side default; a server with requestCert: true keeps enforcing certificate verification. Thread the server/client role into SSLConfig::from_js/from_generated and tls_true_defaults so servers (Bun.listen, Bun.serve, upgradeTLS with isServer, SNI contexts) default to rejectUnauthorized: true while clients (Bun.connect, fetch, WebSocket, SQL, valkey) keep consulting the env var. An explicit rejectUnauthorized value still wins in both roles. Fixes #35240
…DE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 tls.Server computed its _rejectUnauthorized default from rejectUnauthorizedDefault() (which reads NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED) and passed it to the native listen path as an explicit boolean, bypassing the role-aware native default. Node hardcodes the server default to true; only tls.connect consults the env var. This also covers http2.createSecureServer, which extends tls.Server. Fixes #35092
…nauthorized test Track tlsClientError and assert its code so the test proves the teardown came from certificate verification, not an unrelated handshake failure.
The TLSOptions.rejectUnauthorized doc gave one default for every use: the NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED environment variable. With this change a server defaults to true and the variable only sets a client's default, so the doc states both.
…ED=0 Spawn the fixtures with -e instead of a temp directory, return the exit code from the helper so each test asserts it last, and add the two other server entry points that receive the role-aware default.
…ests Each fixture now reports what the server decided about the peer certificate (the handshake authorizationError, or for Bun.serve the fetch error code and whether the request handler ran), so a verdict of "closed" can only come from the certificate rejection.

What does this PR do?
Fixes #35240. Fixes #35092.
Bun.listen({ tls: { requestCert: true } })withrejectUnauthorizedleft unset is documented to default totrue. But the default was computed fromvm.get_tls_reject_unauthorized(), which readsNODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED, with no awareness of whether the config was being built for a server or a client. So settingNODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0anywhere in the process (a common workaround for a self-signed cert on some unrelated outbound request) silently disabled the server's client-certificate enforcement added in #33755:In Node the env var only changes the client-side default; it never weakens a server.
How does it work?
Threads the server/client role into
SSLConfig::from_js/from_generatedandtls_true_defaults(src/runtime/socket/SSLConfig.rs), so an unsetrejectUnauthorizeddefaults totruefor servers and to the env-var value for clients, matching howresolve_reject_unauthorized's no-config branch already scopes it. This also flows into the native context options (FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT), so the no-client-cert case is enforced too. Call sites pass their role:Bun.listen/Bun.connectviaSocketMode,Bun.serve(ServerConfig),upgradeTLS/ duplex upgrades via theiris_server,addServerNameSNI contextsfetch, WebSocket, SQL, valkeySecureContext(role-agnostic,tls.createSecureContext) keeps the client default, preserving its current behaviorAn explicit

TLSOptions.rejectUnauthorizeddoc inpackages/bun-types/bun.d.tsnow states both defaults:truefor a server, the environment variable for a client.The
node:tlsServer had the same bug one layer up (#35092): its JS-side_rejectUnauthorizeddefault read the env var. The rebase onto current main dropped that part of this PR: main now hardcodes the server default totrue(thetls.Serverconstructor rework from the #35006 follow-ups). This PR keeps the regression test for it.Tests
Subprocess tests with
NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0(the env var is read at startup). Each fixture reports the server-side verification result next to the verdict, so a rejection can only come from the certificate check:test/js/bun/net/socket.test.ts("TLS rejectUnauthorized" suite):Bun.listen,Bun.serve, andupgradeTLS({ isServer: true })withrequestCert: trueandrejectUnauthorizedunset still tear down a connection with an unverifiable client cert (server handshake sees "unable to verify the first certificate"; forBun.servethe fetch fails withECONNRESETand the handler never runs).
