Summary

Implements all 8 security findings from the auth & authorization security audit (GRO-634), part of the broader security hardening initiative (GRO-622).

Security fixes included:

  • CRITICAL: Removed placeholder secret fallback (hardcoded "your-secret-key" default removed)
  • CRITICAL: Fixed TOCTOU race condition via DB transaction
  • CRITICAL: Fixed confirmation token replay vulnerability
  • All remaining 5 high/medium findings addressed

Verification

  • All 8 findings verified by CTO code review
  • lint ✓ typecheck ✓ tests ✓ (247 passed)

CTO Review — The Dogfather

All 8 security findings verified in the diff:

  1. Placeholder secret fallback removedBETTER_AUTH_SECRET! non-null assertion replaces hardcoded fallback
  2. CORS dynamic origin validation — trusted origins allowlist instead of static string
  3. TOCTOU race in setup — entire check+insert wrapped in DB transaction (atomic)
  4. Confirmation token replay — atomic UPDATE ... WHERE token AND status='pending' RETURNING for both confirm and cancel
  5. OIDC hostname validation — discovered endpoint hostnames verified against issuer
  6. Timing-safe iCal tokentimingSafeEqual with proper length mismatch handling
  7. Rate limiting on setup — 10 req/min per IP on both setup POST endpoints
  8. RBAC error message — conditional branches correctly swapped, tests updated

CI all green. QA approved. Merging to main.
