fix: preserve input references during signature creation - #577
Conversation
Retain input XPath targets and compute their digests before inserting the new signature. This restores broad and ID-dependent selectors and detached signing through getSignatureXml() and getOriginalXmlWithIds(). Resolve references without input matches after insertion so Object and KeyInfo signing remains available, and retain the self-reference guards. Collect ancestor namespaces from each selected element to avoid repeating XPath expressions after ID assignment changes their results. Add regression tests for synchronous and callback signing, tampered data, Object reference ordering, inherited namespaces, and reused signers. Document how input and generated signature references are selected.
The reference-selection and detached-signature cases exercise signing and verification end to end, so they belong with the other integration tests rather than in a spec of their own. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Resolve all reference targets before adding IDs.
This loop changes the document before it resolves the next reference. For example, if /* precedes /root[not(@id)], the first reference adds an ID and the second reference no longer matches the original root.
Use two passes. First cache all XPath results. Then add IDs to the cached targets. Add a regression test with these references in both orders.
Proposed fix
const referenceTargets = new Map<Reference, SigningReferenceTarget[]>();
for (const ref of this.getReferences()) {
const nodes = xpath.selectWithResolver(ref.xpath ?? "", doc, this.namespaceResolver);
isDomNode.assertIsArrayOfNodes(nodes);
const targets = nodes.map((node) => {
isDomNode.assertIsElementNode(node);
- if (!ref.isEmptyUri) {
- this.ensureHasId(node);
- }
return { node };
});
referenceTargets.set(ref, targets);
}

Summary
#506 moved reference resolution to after the new
<Signature>is inserted. That changed which elements a reference selects and what its digest covers, so inputs 6.1.2 signs correctly now throw or produce signatures that do not verify://*, or a positional XPath combined with aprependorbeforelocation, matches the newSignatureand throwsCannot sign a reference to the Signature or SignedInfo element itself./root[not(@Id)], stops matching once IDs are added and throwsnot found.getSignatureXml()andgetOriginalXmlWithIds()has a digest that includes the inserted signature, so it does not verify.This resolves each reference against the input document and computes its digest before the signature is inserted, as 6.x did. A reference with no input matches is still resolved after insertion, so generated
ObjectandKeyInfocontent stays signable, and the self-reference guard stays. Ancestor namespaces are collected from each selected element instead of by re-running the XPath, because adding IDs can change that XPath's result.Verification
Follow-up
cjbarth:fix/generated-content-referencesbuilds on this branch: it limits a reference with no input matches to content inside the new signature, and restores 6.1.2'snot founderror where such a reference would otherwise pick up an input element. It will be opened once this lands.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
