getBaseEncoder to support "uint"

Describe the Problem

getBaseEncoder function crashes when type is uint. match[2] is an empty string and it is not equal to null.

https://github.com/ethers-io/ethers.js/blob/main/src.ts/hash/typed-data.ts#L132C2-L132C2

Updating to this might work.
(match[2] == null || match[2] == '' || match[2] === String(width))

[ricmoo]

That does look wrong… I’ll get that fixed right away. Thanks!

[charlie-kim]

@ricmoo I would much appreciate it! I am trying to deploy my code with ethers V6 as soon as possible.

[ricmoo]

In the meantime, you can just use "uint256" instead (which is the same thing), but I will get it out today. :)

[ricmoo]

I've added a fix to the repo, but want to sleep on the solution over night before publishing.

Please feel free to check ou the change above though. And all dust files have been updated, so you can try it out by installing it (via npm) from the GitHub repo.

Would love some feedback.

Basically, I normalize the types in the constructor so there is no change to the getBaseEncoder, since the types are also required in other parts of the encoder to reflect what the baseEncoder would use. I also add a case allowing for a custom type of "uint" and "int", since technically according to the spec there is no type alias, so we make the type-alias only available in the absence of ambiguity.

There are test cases too, if curious what I mean. :)

[charlie-kim]

Thanks. I think it should support uint[] and int[] as well.

Is that from GitHub? The error indicates you are using 6.10.0, but the fix is only in 6.10.1 (which is not on npm yet).

[ricmoo]

You’re right. I need to add the arrayification to that. I’m going to break that out into another function, like I should’ve in the first place.

[charlie-kim]

Is that from GitHub? The error indicates you are using 6.10.0, but the fix is only in 6.10.1 (which is not on npm yet).

I installed as this.

"ethers": "https://github.com/ethers-io/ethers.js#43fb9c233696aeaa80b1c2b0e5fafce90e0ad508"

by running command

yarn add ethers@https://github.com/ethers-io/ethers.js#43fb9c233696aeaa80b1c2b0e5fafce90e0ad508

[ricmoo]

@charlie-kim I've refactored the Array parsing code. I'd love an extra set of eyes to look it over. ;)

You should be able to install the main branch. I find sometimes the hash linked to by the change doesn't work... I just tried your above example locally and it seemed happy. :)

[charlie-kim]

Hey @ricmoo , I just found out I was running code in lib.commonjs and it didn't have the change you made. What is the process to have the change in the code here?

[ricmoo]

The lib.commonjs code should be updated along with the lib.esm. Ca you check the version getting imported with console.log(ethers.version)? It should be 6.10.1 if the npm install from GitHub worked properly.

[charlie-kim]

The current main branch seems to have the code built for lib.commonjs. I think the current main branch is working but let me test further to make sure.

[charlie-kim]

FYI, my contract has signature type defined with uint and it only works with signature created by ethers.js with uint, not with uint256. I was able to get the contract validate a signature made with uint with the change you made.

It looks good to me!

[ricmoo]

There shouldn’t be any difference between using uint and uint256. Can you include a quick example input and output?

[ricmoo]

I tried your above example, swapping out the uint and uint256 and both returned the same hash.

And contract can only validate the signature from the first one.

My test uses hardhat-ethers and it does this to create signature.

this.provider.send("eth_signTypedData_v4", [
      this.address.toLowerCase(),
      JSON.stringify(
        TypedDataEncoder.getPayload(populated.domain, types, populated.value),
        (_k, v) => {
          if (typeof v === "bigint") {
            return v.toString();
          }

          return v;
        }
      ),
    ])

[charlie-kim]

I can successfully test signature by using pure ethers js. But using it with hardhat-ethers does not work with the new version.

This one works.

import { Wallet } from "ethers";
const wallet = Wallet.createRandom();
const signature = await wallet.signTypedData(domain, PaySignatureTypes, data);
const recovered = verifyTypedData(domain, PaySignatureTypes, data, signature);
expect(wallet.address).to.be.eq(recovered);

This one does not work.

import { ethers } from "hardhat";
const [signer] = await ethers.getSigners();
const signature = await signer.signTypedData(domain, PaySignatureTypes, data);
const recovered = verifyTypedData(domain, PaySignatureTypes, data, signature);
expect(signer.address).to.be.eq(recovered);

The work might be on them not you.

[ricmoo]

I think I spotted the problem earlier. I just need to prepare a test case for the before-and-after.

I think it’s a one-line fix when preparing the payload.

Just got back from a tooth extraction though, so I’ll get to it in the next couple hours. :)

[charlie-kim]

Oh dang! Are you still under influence of anesthesia?? Take it easy!

[ricmoo]

Oh no. They just froze my mouth. No crazy anesthesia. :)

I've pushed a new version up to GitHub, if you could test against the main branch again? :)

[charlie-kim]

It works fine now!

[ricmoo]

Without updating the contract? It unfortunately is not possible, as no wallet would be able to produce a valid hash for that (such as MetaMask); the hash is incorrect, so software like MetaMask will correctly reject it.

The v5 Typed Encoder should not have worked either though?

Also, you should talk to your auditing company, because that is definitely something that should have been caught...

[charlie-kim]

Actually, the contract has been working in production about a year with V5.

We are generating signature in server side and let user call makePayment function with it directly. For metamask, the signature is only a string passed into the function. So it does not matter to metamask.

Also, V5 typed encoder uses uint to create the signature when I pass in type uint.

[ricmoo]

Yikes. That is definitely a bug in v5 then. The hash is not to spec, so would not work with any other (non-buggy ;)) software.

It is bad though, since it means wallets cannot accurately represent EIP-712 data to the user. It basically forces "blind signing", when it shouldn't.

[charlie-kim]

I will have to use v5 for now until we can upgrade the contract 😭
But the fix looks good. I am closing the issue.

Thank you!

[charlie-kim]

I highly recommend you let Solidity compute those for you, as it will perform all the necessary normalizations (both types, white-space, etc). Using event.selector will save you. You should be able to do:

// Define the event if not already defined
event Pay(address user,address collateral,address[] assets,uint[] amounts,uint nonce,uint expiresAt);

// Get the selector, which for an Event is a bytes32
bytes32 public constant PAY_TYPE_HASH = Pay.selector;

@ricmoo I am trying to use event selector like you suggested. But the signature cannot be validated with it. Is there a working code sample? I used solidity 0.8.23.
