tls: reject a bad server chain before the client certificate goes out in fetch, SQL, Redis and WebSocket clients - #43694
Conversation
… in fetch, SQL, Redis and WebSocket clients fetch, Bun.SQL (postgres and mysql in verify-ca and verify-full), Bun.RedisClient and WebSocket verified the server chain only after the handshake completed, so the client's own Certificate message had already reached a server the client then refused. node:tls and Bun.connect already install the inline-reject verify callback that keeps that flight off the wire. Install the same callback on those five client sockets before the handshake starts. Only clients whose SSL lives on a usockets socket are covered. TLS that runs in SSLWrapper (the HTTPS proxy tunnels, upgraded duplexes, named pipes) has no inline-reject handshake drive and is unchanged.

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 the fetch session-resumption path in src/http/lib.rs: set_inline_reject runs before session_cache::install, and that helper only calls SSL_set_session (never SSL_set_verify), so a resumption attempt that falls back to a full handshake keeps the inline-reject verify callback and is not a route around the new gate.
Extended reasoning...
Findings were already reported inline (including a use-after-free in the WebSocket handle_open path and two pre-existing coverage gaps for proxy tunnels and hostname mismatch), so the inline comments already signal that a human must look; this body only records one additional candidate that was examined and ruled out from the code. src/http/session_cache.rs installs a session via SSL_set_session and a sink callback and does not reset the verify mode, so the ordering in HTTPClient::on_open (reject hook installed at line 1880, session at line 1892) leaves the hook in place for a full handshake after a failed resumption.
Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

🟡
packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/openssl.c— nit: after an inline TLS 1.3 rejection, WebSocket, Postgres and MySQL servers now receive a close_notify they cannot decrypt instead of a bare FIN. The state flip at openssl.c:1984 turns tripped() off before the dispatch, and those three clients close with CloseCode::Normal, so ssl_handle_shutdown at openssl.c:2082 runs SSL_shutdown on an SSL whose init is finished and the alert, sealed under client application keys the server never derived, goes to the wire. … [also at: src/http_jsc/websocket_client/WebSocketUpgradeClient.rs:686 - A wss client with rejectUnauthorized on now closes a rejected TLS 1.3 handshake twice: fail() sends a close_notify…; src/sql_jsc/postgres/PostgresSQLConnection.rs:513 - A postgres verify-ca/verify-full client that rejects a server chain now sends the server a close_notify it cannot…]Extended reasoning...
…Fix: make every close after an inline rejection a bare FIN regardless of the client's close code, e.g. mark the socket so ssl_handle_shutdown short-circuits (ssl_fatal_error or SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN) before us_dispatch_handshake at openssl.c:2001, which covers WebSocketUpgradeClient.rs:564, PostgresSQLConnection.rs:1502 and the mysql close alike.
On the base branch the same clients complete the handshake, then on_handshake(1, err) fails and closes with Normal; the close_notify is sealed under keys both sides hold, so the server logs a clean close (after having learned the client certificate, which this PR fixes). node:tls on both branches destroys with no alert.
After merge, TLS 1.3 server flight arrives; SSL_read at openssl.c:2541 runs the client through verification, us_inline_reject_verify_callback records the error, the Certificate/Finished flight is swallowed by BIO_s_custom_write at openssl.c:677, and BoringSSL finalizes the client handshake so SSL_is_init_finished is true. Line 2652 calls ssl_trigger_handshake(s, 1).
Line 1983 reads tripped()=1, line…Verification: nit. Triggering condition: a TLS 1.3 connection from WebSocket, Postgres (verify-ca/verify-full) or MySQL (verify-ca/verify-full) with rejectUnauthorized on, to a server whose chain fails verification. Mechanism verified in /home/claude/bun/packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/openssl.c: the client's SSL_read (line 2541) drives the TLS 1.3 handshake through verification;… | nit. Triggering condition:…
…Socket reject flag without an event-loop entry After an inline rejection the peer never derived the keys the client's Finished would have carried. A graceful close (code 0) sent a close_notify the peer cannot read and waited for a reply. Mark the socket fatal before the handshake dispatch so every client closes with a bare FIN. WebSocket__rejectUnauthorized is a field read. The event-loop enter/exit around it ran a microtask checkpoint from the socket open callback.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
The follow-up push (b16e751) addresses both points from my earlier pass: the WebSocket flag read no longer brackets enter()/exit(), and the Redis case now asserts a specific error code. Beyond the inline finding, I also checked the removed event-loop bracket in CppWebSocket::reject_unauthorized — WebSocket__rejectUnauthorized in src/jsc/bindings/webcore/WebSocket.cpp:1795 returns m_rejectUnauthorized directly, so no JS can run there and dropping the bracket is behavior-safe. The new s->ssl_fatal_error = 1 in ssl_trigger_handshake is set only on the inline-reject failure branch, so successful handshakes are unaffected.
Extended reasoning...
The PR adds a per-socket us_socket_set_inline_reject in usockets' openssl.c and calls it from the fetch, WebSocket, valkey, postgres and mysql TLS client paths so a failed server-chain verdict aborts the handshake before the client's mTLS Certificate flight is sent; it is TLS/security-sensitive code across five clients, which is why a human look remains worthwhile despite the small diff. The latest commit resolved both of my prior inline comments, and the one surviving finding is a pre-existing valkey error-reporting gap rather than a regression from this change.

The diff is ready for review. The remaining CI failures are on files this PR does not touch: the S3 tests time out against R2 on several lanes (the other S3 tests over the same TLS connections pass), one spawn lifecycle test on x64-asan, and a mordant finding in src/paths. All three test files are reported for main. The gate (fails without the fix, passes with it) passed. |

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 two things from the latest push: the reject_unauthorized() change in CppWebSocket.rs now calls straight into WebSocket__rejectUnauthorized (src/jsc/bindings/webcore/WebSocket.cpp:1795), which is a plain C++ field read with no JS entry, so the microtask-checkpoint-in-on_open concern from the earlier review is addressed; and the new ssl_fatal_error = 1 in ssl_trigger_handshake sits only inside the inline-rejected branch, which already dispatches the failure and closes the socket, so it does not change any successful or non-inline failure path.
Extended reasoning...
The change adds a socket-level inline-reject entry in usockets plus a safe FFI declaration, and installs it in the fetch, WebSocket, valkey, postgres and mysql clients under each client's existing rejectUnauthorized gate; it is TLS-handshake code, so a human look is still worthwhile alongside the two inline test-coverage nits.

… over a proxy tunnel, a Duplex or a named pipe (#43767) ### Problem - A client that rejects a bad server chain still sends its mTLS client certificate when TLS runs in `SSLWrapper`: `fetch` and `WebSocket` through a CONNECT proxy, `tls.connect` over a Duplex (TLS 1.2) or a Windows named pipe (TLS 1.2 and 1.3). The client reports `DEPTH_ZERO_SELF_SIGNED_CERT`. #43694 deferred these. - `SSLWrapper::update_handshake_state` (`src/uws/lib.rs`) flushes the write BIO after every `SSL_do_handshake`. A TLS 1.2 client queues its Certificate flight in the call that verifies the chain. The owner rejects later, in `on_handshake`. ### Fix - `openssl.c` exports `us_internal_ssl_inline_reject_tripped(SSL*)`, the check #43694 added for usockets sockets. - `SSLWrapper` reads it after each `SSL_do_handshake`. If it tripped, it resets the write BIO, reports `on_handshake(false, <X509 verdict>)` and closes with no close_notify. - `SSLWrapper::set_inline_reject()` installs the recorder. The proxy tunnels call it when `rejectUnauthorized` is on. `node:tls` already did for a Duplex or a named pipe. - Verified: `test/js/bun/net/tls-reject-before-client-cert.test.ts`. Without the fix 3 of 36 rows fail on Linux, 5 of 41 on Windows x64. Self-reviewed (implementation only): 5 concerns raised, 3 addressed, see Notes. ### Background - `SSLWrapper` runs BoringSSL over two memory BIOs for TLS that has no usockets socket. - The recorder is a verify callback. It stores a failed chain and lets the handshake continue. ### Downsides - Still open: over a synchronous in-process `Duplex`, a `write()` during the handshake lets `SSL_write` drive the handshake past this check. That older bug has its own fix in progress. - `Bun.connect` over a named pipe: the `handshake` callback now gets `success === false` for a rejected chain on TLS 1.3, as TCP does since #43694. <details><summary>Notes</summary> - Each owner maps `on_handshake(false, <X509 verdict>)` to the error it reported before: `fetch` the X509 code, `WebSocket` "TLS handshake failed", `node:tls` the X509 code. - TLS 1.3 leaks only over a named pipe: the wrapper runs `on_handshake` before it flushes, and the other owners close with no flush, but `WindowsNamedPipe::close` calls `shutdown(false)`, which flushes the queued flight with the close_notify. - Not covered: a server whose chain verifies but whose name does not match. Every client checks the hostname after the handshake. That is a separate change. - Not covered: HTTP/3. lsquic drives that handshake. - Self-review scope: the implementation only, with four questions: wrapper lifetime after the two callbacks, server-side reach, the TLS 1.3 change from `on_handshake(true, err)` to `on_handshake(false, err)` per owner, and test gaps. It did not cover whether the change should exist or its overall shape. It raised 5 concerns. 3 are addressed in the tests: a rejecting WebSocket through a proxy had no good-chain control, the two `rejectUnauthorized: false` proxy rows did not assert the CONNECT line, and the env block did not clear `ALL_PROXY`. 1 is the `SSL_write` case in Downsides, which is a separate bug. 1 stands: no row pins the `BIO_reset`. Every row stays green without it, because `return false` skips the flush, `fatal_error` stops `shutdown()`, the socket's `REJECTED` flag refuses `flush()` and `write()`, and `closed_notified` gates the write callback. A Windows probe with a `handshake` callback that calls `socket.flush()` confirmed that (no leak with or without the reset). The reset stays so that the drop does not depend on how each owner closes: a re-entered `handle_traffic` flushes the write BIO and never reaches the check. - The review found no use-after-free: the new branch has the shape of the existing failure path below it (callback, then read `self`), and all four owners keep the wrapper's storage alive across it (ref guards and next-tick release, in-place `deinit()`, `WRAPPER_BUSY`). It found no way for the check to trip for a server or for a client with `rejectUnauthorized: false`: every install site requires the client role and the reject policy. - The check sits directly after `SSL_do_handshake`, before any owner callback. Everything in the write BIO at that point was queued after the verdict: the ClientHello left in an earlier pass. The check is limited to the initial handshake by its position: `update_handshake_state` returns before `SSL_do_handshake` once the handshake is finished or a renegotiation is pending. - Probe: the server's flight delivered in 64-byte and in 700-byte pieces, so the verdict lands in a pass where the write BIO is empty. 8 of 8 rows: the server sees no certificate and the client sends only the ClientHello. - `fatal_error` makes `shutdown()` skip `SSL_shutdown`. The peer never gets the client's Finished, so it cannot read a close_notify. The usockets path sets `ssl_fatal_error` for the same reason. - A rejected handshake over a Duplex or a named pipe no longer delivers a `keylog` line parked in the pass that tripped. The pass returns before `flush_pending_events`, as the existing fatal-handshake path does. - A resumed session runs no verify callback, so the recorder stays clear and the owner's post-handshake policy applies as before. A resumed handshake carries no client Certificate. - The test file clears `NO_PROXY`, `HTTP_PROXY`, `HTTPS_PROXY` and `ALL_PROXY` for its duration. `NO_PROXY` applies to an explicit `proxy` option too, so an ambient `NO_PROXY=127.0.0.1` sends the proxy rows direct. Every proxy row asserts the CONNECT request line the proxy saw. - Controls in the test: a rejecting client with the right CA completes the handshake through the proxy (fetch and WebSocket), over a Duplex and over a named pipe. A client with `rejectUnauthorized: false` still completes it against the bad chain on all of them. - Suites run with the fixed debug build on Linux: `test/js/bun/http/proxy.test.ts`, `proxy-stress-errors.test.ts`, `proxy-stress-adversarial.test.ts`, `proxy-stress-lifecycle.test.ts`, `proxy-stress-protocol.test.ts`, `test/js/web/websocket/websocket-proxy.test.ts`, `websocket-proxy-close-reentrancy.test.ts`, `websocket-proxy-tunnel-client-leak.test.ts`, `websocket-proxy-tunnel-upgrade-leak.test.ts`, `test/js/first_party/ws/ws-proxy.test.ts`, `test/js/web/fetch/fetch.tls.test.ts`, `test/js/node/tls/node-tls-connect.test.ts`, `node-tls-upgrade.test.ts`, `renegotiation.test.ts`, `node-tls-duplex-close-throw-uaf.test.ts`, `node-tls-duplex-write-throw-error-value.test.ts`, `tls-connect-socket-churn.test.ts`, `test/internal/source-lints/`, and `test/js/node/test/parallel/test-tls-error-servername.js`, `test-tls-inception.js`, `test-tls-js-stream.js`, `test-tls-over-http-tunnel.js`, `test-tls-connect-given-socket.js`, `test-tls-socket-default-options.js`, `test-tls-alert-handling.js`, `test-tls-socket-failed-handshake-emits-error.js`, `test-tls-delayed-attach.js`, `test-tls-on-empty-socket.js`, `test-http2-client-connection-tunnelling.js`, `test-tls-close-error.js`, `test-tls-client-verify.js`, `test-tls-client-reject.js`, `test-https-client-reject.js`.

…43924) Follow-up to #43865. ### Problem - A handshake that finishes on a shut-down or fatal connection reports a passed certificate check. A `tls.Server` with `requestCert` and `rejectUnauthorized: true` emits `secureConnection authorized=true authError=null` for an untrusted client. - The peer can cause it alone, with one bad record behind its `Finished`. A local `end()` during the handshake causes it too. - `ssl_trigger_handshake` (`packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/openssl.c`) reads `us_internal_ssl_verify_error`, which returns zero for such a socket. `SSLWrapper` (`src/uws/lib.rs`) does the same after a renegotiation. ### Fix - `ssl_trigger_handshake` reads the verdict from the `SSL` when the handshake succeeded. - `SSLWrapper::trigger_handshake_callback` takes a `HandshakeOutcome` and derives the result. A failed handshake reports what it reported before. - The server reports `tlsClientError` once for each connection, as Node does (`src/js/node/net.ts`). - Verified: `test/js/node/tls/node-tls-duplex-end-verify.test.ts` (main fails 8 of 12, Node v26.3.0 passes 12) and `renegotiation.test.ts`. Self-reviewed: 9 concerns raised, 8 addressed. ### Background - Bun has two TLS engines. `openssl.c` serves sockets. `SSLWrapper` serves TLS over a Duplex, a named pipe or a proxy tunnel. - Both report a handshake as `(success, verify error)`. Consumers read error 0 as "verified". - Considered a getter swap per call site. #43865 did that and three sites stayed wrong. ### Downsides - Connections that these cases accepted are now refused, or report `authorized=false`. - After a server `end()` in the handshake, Node reports `ECONNRESET`. Bun reports `DEPTH_ZERO_SELF_SIGNED_CERT`. Both refuse the client. - Release `.text`: 58154908 B before and after. `ssl_trigger_handshake`: 175 to 178 instructions, 24 conditional branches both. <details><summary>Notes</summary> **Cases, measured on Node v26.3.0, on `main`, and with this change** The peer's certificate is untrusted in every row. | Case | Node | `main` | This PR | |---|---|---|---| | TCP client, `rejectUnauthorized: false`, `end()` on its last handshake flight (TLS 1.2 and 1.3) | `authorized=false`, `UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE` | `authorized=true`, `authError=null` | same as Node | | Server with `requestCert`, `end()` on its socket in the handshake, `rejectUnauthorized: false` | `authorized=false`, `DEPTH_ZERO_SELF_SIGNED_CERT` | `authorized=true`, then it reads the client's data | same as Node | | Same server, `rejectUnauthorized: true` | `tlsClientError ECONNRESET` | `secureConnection authorized=true`, then it reads the client's data | `tlsClientError DEPTH_ZERO_SELF_SIGNED_CERT` | | Same server, `end()` comes from its `tlsClientError` listener after `handshakeTimeout`, slow client | `tlsClientError ERR_TLS_HANDSHAKE_TIMEOUT`, then `close` | then `secureConnection authorized=true` and the client's data | same as Node | | No `end()`.

The inline reject from #43694 reads the verdict directly. A resumed handshake verifies no chain, so the inline reject cannot act there. A slow client with a trusted certificate is accepted after the handshake timeout, on Node and on Bun. That does not change. **Mechanism** - `us_internal_ssl_is_shut_down` is true for a socket whose TCP write side is shut down, for `SSL_SENT_SHUTDOWN`, and for `ssl_fatal_error`. - `end()` during a handshake sends no alert (BoringSSL returns from `SSL_shutdown` while `SSL_in_init`). It still shuts the TCP write side down, and `SSLWrapper` still sets `sent_ssl_shutdown`. The handshake continues to run. - A bad record behind `Finished` makes one `SSL_read` finish the handshake and fail. `ssl_park_fatal_reason` sets `ssl_fatal_error` before the handshake is reported. - Consumers that read error 0 as verified: `TLSSocket::on_handshake` (`src/runtime/socket/socket_body.rs`), `net.ts`, `HttpContext.h` (`Bun.serve`, `node:https`), and the Postgres, MySQL and Valkey clients. **What does not change** - Every failed handshake reports the same result as on `main`. `HandshakeOutcome::Aborted` keeps the old rule for its two sites: zero after a shutdown, else the verdict. - A failed handshake over a Duplex still reports `UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT` for a certificate that never arrived. Open PR #32929 covers that. - In a normal handshake the same consumers already get `(success, verdict)`. So no consumer gets a pair that it could not get before. - A transport that closes during the handshake: `destroy()` or `end()` by the peer, and `destroy()` or end of the Duplex, with both policies. `main` and this change give the same events, and none is `secureConnect`. **Self-review** Addressed: 1. The TCP proxy in the tests acted on TCP chunks. It now acts on TLS records, and releases a held flight in one write. 2. No test for the case without `end()`. Three tests added. 3. A rename of the test file from #43865 made its diff hard to read. The file keeps its name, and the diff to it only adds lines. 4. Unused derives on the new enum. Removed. 5. `require` inside the new renegotiation test. Replaced with module imports. 6. Failure results must not change, because `net.ts` reads them. Checked with a plaintext peer on both engines: same events as `main`. 7. The verdict can now close the socket from inside `us_internal_ssl_close`. The `ssl_gone` checks already cover a close from a handshake callback there. The new tests run that path on an ASAN build. 8. A handshake that completes after its timeout was reported gave a second `tlsClientError`. The reject branch now checks `kerrorEmitted`, as Node's `onSocketTLSError` does. Not addressed here: 9. `us_internal_ssl_verify_error` keeps its shutdown test for `getAuthorizationError()`. The getter falls back to the stored result of the handshake report, which is now correct. The cleanup is a separate change. **Not in this PR** After `end()` in the handshake, a final flight that arrives in two reads is never reported on a TCP socket. The socket gets no `secureConnect`, no `error` and no `close`. Node reports the handshake. `authorized` stays `false`, so this is a missing report and not a wrong one. It is the same on `main`, and this change does not touch it. **Measurements** Release builds of the base `8884311404` and of this change. - release `.text`: +0 B (`llvm-size -A`, 58154908 B both). Stripped `bun`: 80844320 B both. - `ssl_trigger_handshake`: 178 instructions, 24 conditional branches, 669 B. Before: 175, 24, 649 B (`llvm-objdump`, `llvm-nm -S`). The success path skips the two state tests inside `us_internal_ssl_verify_error` and adds one `s->ssl` test. - X509 verdict reads per successful handshake: TCP 39 and 39, Duplex 20 and 20 (gdb breakpoint hit counts on `us_ssl_socket_verify_error_from_ssl`, 20 handshakes each, debug builds). - Shutdown tests inside the verdict reader: Rust 0 (1 before), C 0. - Syscall counts per handshake: not measured. `strace` and `perf` are not installed on the test machine. The change adds no write, read or shutdown call. **Tests** - `test/js/node/tls/node-tls-duplex-end-verify.test.ts` uses `node:test`, so the same file runs on Node: `node --experimental-strip-types --test` passes 12 of 12. The two tests from #43865 are unchanged. Two tests assert a different `tlsClientError` code for each runtime, because Bun reports the certificate check there and Node reports how the connection ended. - `renegotiation.test.ts`: `main` fails 1 of 21, the row with `end()`.

… IP host (#42766) ### Problem - `new Bun.SQL("postgres://u@[::1]:5432/db?sslmode=verify-full")` rejects a certificate that has `IP:::1` with `ERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALID`. `mysql://` does the same. - `parseOptions` copies `URL.hostname`, brackets kept, into `tls.serverName` (`src/js/internal/sql/shared.ts:2159`). Both adapters check the certificate against that text, and `"[::1]"` is not an IP address. - Both adapters send an IP literal as SNI (`127.0.0.1`). RFC 6066 section 3 forbids that. ### Fix - `SSLConfig::server_name_bytes()` (`src/sql_jsc/jsc.rs`) returns the name through `bun_core::ip_address::strip_ipv6_brackets`. The identity checks of both adapters read the name there. - New `SSLConfig::sni()` returns no name for an IP literal, bracketed or not. Both `adopt_tls` sites use it. libpq and fetch send none either. - Verified: `test/js/sql/sql-tls-ip-literal-host.test.ts` (new, 8 cases). 6 fail on main 0d73249, all pass here. ### Background - `sslmode=verify-full` checks that the certificate names the host. An IP host matches only an IP SAN entry, and only as a bare address (`check_x509_server_identity`, `src/boringssl/lib.rs:452`). - SNI is the host name a TLS client sends in its first message. `adopt_tls` sets it. - Considered a strip in `parseOptions` (the first version). That was a second copy of `strip_ipv6_brackets`, which fetch, RedisClient and Bun.connect use, and it changed `sql.options`. ### Downsides - Bun.SQL sends no SNI for an IP-literal name. A TLS proxy that routes on such a value loses it. - A zone-scoped address (`hostname: "::1%lo"`) still fails `verify-full`, and without brackets it still goes out as SNI: `is_ip_address` accepts no `%zone`. - Cost per TLS connection: one `is_ip_address` call (at most 45 bytes, no allocation) and a bracket check at each name read. <details><summary>Notes</summary> - History of this PR. The first version removed the brackets in `parseOptions` (JS). Main then gained `bun_core::ip_address::strip_ipv6_brackets` and moved every other client to it. A review noted that the JS helper disagreed with it (`[db]` lost its brackets too). aa4d699 moves the fix to the two native accessors and restores `parseOptions` to its state on main. So this PR no longer touches `src/js/internal/sql/shared.ts`, and it does not conflict with #42054 or #41761, which edit that block. - `sql.options.tls.serverName` and `sql.options.hostname` keep the brackets, as on main. Only the native reads see the bare address. - When this PR opened (canary 09bb546), Bun.SQL also accepted a certificate whose only SAN is `DNS:[::1]`, and a hostname mismatch gave an `Error` with an empty `code` and `message`. Main changed both since: #43873 makes a name that is not a hostname match no certificate name, and #43694 rejects the mismatch inside the handshake with `ERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALID`. This PR changes neither. - Probed on the debug build with a mock TLS server on 127.0.0.1 and an explicit `tls.serverName`. `"[::1]"` and `"::1"` under `verify-full`: connects, no SNI. `"[db]"` under `verify-full`: `ERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALID`, as on main. `"[fe80::1%lo]"` under `require`: no SNI. `"fe80::1%lo"` and `"127.1"` under `require`: sent as SNI, because `is_ip_address` takes neither as an IP literal (#43979). `"localhost"`: sent as SNI. - Observed on main 0d73249: peer SNI `127.0.0.1` for host `127.0.0.1`. With this change: none. - The cases that dial `[::1]` gate on `isIPv6()` (Buildkite Linux has no IPv6 loopback). The other cases run on every lane. One of them dials 127.0.0.1 with `tls.serverName: "[::1]"`, so every lane checks a bracketed name against the `IP:::1` entry. - Two gaps in the same `parseOptions` block are on main and stay out of this PR: `tls.servername` (the Node spelling) is ignored, which #42054 owns, and `tls: true` without an sslmode derives no `serverName`, which #26369 tracks. A `BunFile` given as `tls` with an explicit sslmode loses the file there, which #41761 owns. - Same bug class as #30668, which #30674 fixed for fetch and WebSocket. The dial path already removes the brackets (`src/uws_sys/socket.rs:791`). - Other suites run on the merged debug build (main 601af5a): `postgres-pgsslmode-env`, `sql-mysql-tls-plaintext-injection`, all of `adapter-env-var-precedence`, and `test/js/bun/net/tls-reject-before-client-cert.test.ts` (121 pass, 9 skip). I ran the new file 40 times on the earlier head: 320 of 320 cases pass. The container TLS suites (`tls-sql`, `local-sql`) need Docker and run in CI. </details> <!-- robobun:evidence:begin --> --- **no test proof** · iteration 0 · platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine, deferring to CI, which covers all platforms: test/js/sql/adapter-env-var-precedence.test.ts <!-- robobun:evidence:end -->
Two cases that need no peer that stays silent. A server answers the client's close_notify one round trip later: reserve() after close() of a reserved connection must get a new connection (postgres and mysql). A backend that is busy with a query answers the query first and the close_notify after it: the next query must not wait for that. Remove the rejected-certificate case. Since #43694 the client rejects a bad chain inside the handshake and closes with a bare FIN, so that test passes without this change.

Fixes #43684
Problem
fetch,Bun.SQL(postgres and mysql,verify-caorverify-full),Bun.RedisClientandWebSocketsend the mTLS client certificate to a server whose chain fails verification. The client then rejects the server (UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE), but the server already has the certificate.rejectUnauthorizedinon_handshake, after the handshake completes. The verify callback fromus_internal_ssl_attach(packages/bun-usockets/src/crypto/openssl.c:1796) always returns 1, so the client's Certificate flight goes out before the verdict.node:tlsandBun.connectinstallus_internal_ssl_set_inline_reject(src/runtime/socket/socket_body.rs:1515). Nothing else called it.Fix
us_socket_set_inline_reject(us_socket_t*), a socket-level form ofus_internal_ssl_set_inline_reject, exposed throughbun_uws_sys. It is a no-op on a server socket or after the handshake.on_handshakeuses to reject:HTTPClient::on_open,WebSocketUpgradeClient::handle_open, the valkeySocketHandler::on_open, and the postgres and mysql TLS upgrades.test/js/bun/net/tls-reject-before-client-cert.test.ts(21 rows over TLS 1.3 and 1.2, 12 fail on stock bun). The issue's repro reports no leak. The fetch, WebSocket, valkey, node:tls and mariadb mock TLS suites pass. Self-reviewed: 3 concerns raised, 2 addressed, 1 deferred (see Notes).Background
openssl.c. The inline-reject verify callback records a failed chain in SSL ex_data. The BIO write hook andssl_trigger_handshakethen drop the post-verify output and dispatchon_handshakewith success 0.SSL_CTXcan be shared, so the hook runs per socket, not inus_internal_ssl_attach.Notes
SSLWrapper(src/uws/lib.rs) instead of a usockets socket. That is the fetch HTTPS proxy tunnel (src/http/ProxyTunnel.rs), the WebSocket proxy tunnel (WebSocketProxyTunnel.rs),tls.connect({ socket })over a duplex (UpgradedDuplex.rs) and Windows named pipes. The recording half of the mechanism applies there (socket_body.rs already installs it on a duplex, where it is inert), butSSLWrapper::update_handshake_statehas no tripped check. The port is: export an SSL-levelus_internal_ssl_inline_reject_tripped(SSL*), and in the wrapper afterSSL_do_handshake, on tripped, reset the write BIO, mark the handshake failed withget_verify_error(), and close. Plus call sites inProxyTunnel::on_openandWebSocketProxyTunnel::start. It touches a wrapper shared with server-side injected sockets, so it belongs in its own PR with its own proxy tests. HTTP/3 is not covered either.ERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALID. Moving that check into the handshake is follow-up work.CppWebSocket::reject_unauthorizedno longer enters and exits the event loop around the C++ field read. The exit ran a microtask checkpoint from the socket open callback.Bun.RedisClient.connect()settles from the close event withERR_REDIS_CONNECTION_CLOSED, before and after this change. The verify error goes to the pending commands. The test asserts the code connect() produces.SSLRequest,do_handshakeenforcesverify-caandverify-full), so it gets the same call. The issue did not list it.verify-fullwithrejectUnauthorized: false), a row on the default trust store with noca, and TLS 1.2 rows (the client's Certificate is written before the server's Finished there, and the parked-write retry is what catches the rejection). All are in the test file.reject_unauthorizedargument ofus_socket_adopt_tlsis only read for server sockets. The SQL callers keep passingfalsethere and install the client policy withset_inline_rejectinstead, becausesocket_body.rspasses the raw config value toadopt_tlswhile its reject policy also depends on the VM default.tls.TLSSocketwrap (the pattern fromtest/js/sql/sql-mariadb-json.test.ts). When that TLS socket closes after a failed handshake, the raw socket stays open, so the test destroys it in theclosehandler.

Bun's usockets TLS layer verified the server certificate chain only after the handshake completed, so in TLS 1.3 the client had already sent its Certificate message before the chain failure was observed, leaking the mTLS client certificate to servers that fail verification in fetch, Bun.SQL, Bun.RedisClient and WebSocket. The fix adds inline certificate rejection in the OpenSSL verify callback for eligible client sockets, marking a failed chain as a fatal handshake error so the connection aborts before the client's Certificate message goes out.
