Breaking change

TTS URLs of the form /api/tts_proxy/{filename} no longer map to {filename} directly in the TTS cache. This means that TTS URLs will change every time HA is restarted.

Proposed change

The text-to-speech (TTS) cache stores audio files using a SHA1 hash of the text as part of the file name. The filename is currently used directly in the web API, where /api/tts_proxy/{filename} maps directly to {filename} in the TTS cache.

This presents a small security issue when an HA instance is exposed publicly, as a malicious actor could try to retrieve files with a known SHA1 to determine whether or not a particular message was spoken.

A simple fix is provided in this PR: the TTS SpeechManager contains a mapping between cache file names and a randomly generated token using the secrets library. This ensures there is no relationship between the URL to retrieve a TTS audio file and its message.

Can we track this in 2 different dictionaries. Feels weird to reuse.

Also, shouldn't _async_get_tts_audio( just return a data class that contains filename and token ?

maybe that conflates concerns.

I split the dictionaries for now. A larger refactoring here where the token and cache key are the same should be done in the future.

It's still needed to reconstruct the cache key correctly right below. I'll save this clean up for a future PR.

This should raise a 401, as we shouldn't expose if the key existed or not.

Wouldn't raising a different error here than in the other conditions (404) make it obvious that the key doesn't exist?
