I don't think this is quite right. I think the m_credentials store should hold the adopted NS object smart pointers to avoid UAF.

I don't like raw pointers. Are we sure these are being cleaned up properly and deallocated?

> Source/WebKit/UIProcess/WebAuthentication/Cocoa/AuthenticatorPresenterCoordinator.mm:111
> +            m_credentials.add((ASCLoginChoiceProtocol *)loginChoice.get(), response.ptr());

I think this would be safer if m_credentals held the adopted NS object. Right now you are relying on the 'loginChoices' array retaining the object, but that might not always hold.

> Source/WebKit/UIProcess/WebAuthentication/Cocoa/AuthenticatorPresenterCoordinator.mm:114
> +        [m_presenter updateInterfaceWithLoginChoices:loginChoices.get()];

Once we reach here, loginChoices will dealloc on return,. That means m_credentials will hold pointers to dealloc'd objects. I don't think we want to do this,

> Source/WebKit/UIProcess/WebAuthentication/Cocoa/AuthenticatorPresenterCoordinator.mm:152
> +    auto* response = m_credentials.take(loginChoice);

I think this will retrieve a deallocated object in some cases.

Thanks Brent for reviewing this patch.

These are just pointers for indexing. There is no need to access the objects of the pointers or holding the objects alive.

No, I don't need to hold the login choices. Those are "moved" to the UI. I just need a way to remember the mapping such that I can know which response the selected login choice is corresponding to.

I think the presenter should retain the array. It is going to need that in its lifetime as the presenter will return which login choice the user selected back to us.

All I need is just the pointer. I don't need the object. The response objects are kept alive in the authenticators.

It might avoid confusion in the future if we made these uint64_t or something. This structure looks like a mapping of two types of ObjC objects, and someone might try to pull one and use it for something.

If 'response' is being passed to m_reesponseHandler as an opaque key, I would suggest you make it a uint64_t (or something) so that someone doesn't try to use this code in the future in a way that could trigger UAF.

I have changed WebCore::AuthenticatorAssertionResponse* to a RefPtr.

Got you. Maybe we can fix this issue later. The interface of m_responseHandler is defined a while ago, not by this patch.
