#104 · Authentication bypass / session-token forgery
cp .dev.vars.example .dev.vars && pnpm dev, after rebasing on main) and fully test your change before opening the MR.
Description
Any way to act as another user without their credentials, OR to elevate privileges to admin without admin-level OIDC claims.
Likely surfaces
- OIDC PKCE flow in
packages/shared-utils/src/auth/— race conditions in state, code_verifier reuse, missing audience validation - Session cookie handling — fixation, missing httpOnly/Secure flags, predictable session IDs
- The scoreboard's
ADMIN_GROUPSgroup-name match (case sensitivity, whitespace, missing claim) - Bot API key validation (
verifyBotApiKey) — timing leaks, length-extension linked_accountsflow allowing account takeover via Signal UUID swap
Distinct from "lost session"
If you can prove you became another user via something other than that user typing their password, this qualifies. Critical tier.
