fix(iam): oidc provider fetches leaf certificate thumbprint instead o…
…f root (#22802) Currently, the implementation of the OIDC provider custom resource fetches the certificate chain using: https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/blob/9bde9f3149cbfa6e7b97204f54e7cef5c9127971/packages/%40aws-cdk/aws-iam/lib/oidc-provider/external.ts#L40 It then extracts the root certificate by detecting a circular reference in the `cert.issuerCertificate` property. https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/blob/9bde9f3149cbfa6e7b97204f54e7cef5c9127971/packages/%40aws-cdk/aws-iam/lib/oidc-provider/external.ts#L46 As it turns out, this results in the wrong certificate being extracted. I observed this while running an [EKS integration test](https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/blob/main/packages/%40aws-cdk/aws-eks/test/integ.eks-service-account-sdk-call.ts). The current certificate thumbprint that is extracted is: `AD7E1C28B064EF8F6003402014C3D0E3370EB58A`. While the expected thumbprint is: `9E99A48A9960B14926BB7F3B02E22DA2B0AB7280`. (this is the value we used to [hardcode](https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/blob/v2.50.0/packages/%40aws-cdk/aws-eks/lib/oidc-provider.ts#L49)) The [recommended way](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_providers_create_oidc_verify-thumbprint.html) for extracting the correct thumbprint according to AWS is using `openssl s_client -showcerts`. When I tried this, I did in fact see that the last certificate returned by this command has the correct thumbprint. During investigation, I noticed that `socket.getPeerCertificate(true)` returns another additional certificate, acting as the root one. This is aligned with what the [comment](#8607 (comment)) made in the original issue. This additional certificate is not the correct one, and we should be using the one just before it in the chain. There is however no way to detect that "second to last" certificate in this way, because it doesn't resolve to a circular reference. After some digging, I switched the implementation to use `socket.getPeerX509Certificate()`, a new method that only exists in Node16. This method skips over the incorrect certificate, and results in the correct thumbprint. <img width="539" alt="Screen Shot 2022-11-06 at 10 04 51 PM" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1428812/200195623-6735377b-a82f-472f-884d-7bec450c32c6.png"> Fixes #8607 ---- ### All Submissions: * [X] Have you followed the guidelines in our [Contributing guide?](https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) ### Adding new Unconventional Dependencies: * [ ] This PR adds new unconventional dependencies following the process described [here](https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md/#adding-new-unconventional-dependencies) ### New Features * [ ] Have you added the new feature to an [integration test](https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/blob/main/INTEGRATION_TESTS.md)? * [ ] Did you use `yarn integ` to deploy the infrastructure and generate the snapshot (i.e. `yarn integ` without `--dry-run`)? *By submitting this pull request, I confirm that my contribution is made under the terms of the Apache-2.0 license*
