State/Token Storage Mismatch

cluster-186

A recurring mismatch where authentication/session state is assumed available in the wrong runtime or lifecycle, leading to brittle token handling (workspace changes, SSR gaps, and token reusability) that must be abstracted and validated consistently.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

you get away with calling `Printer::print` on an invalid pointer — call C++ code through a C wrapper. Tension: It is undefined behaviour to do this. Outcome: The changed code invokes undefined behaviour.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

PrivateRoutes conditionally returns a function/JSX in a way that triggers a React warning about returning a function or performing side effects during render. The component is also trying to log out users based on token expiration.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Is there a way to pass an argument to a function defined within the `dependencies` argument — within the `dependencies` argument of, for instance, `app.get`. Tension: I really want to do is provide an argument to `verify_token`. Outcome: there isn't, what other options exist ?

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Using Fetch from my `index.html` from my `portal.mydomain.com` does not. — Enter `api.mydomain.com` into a browser directly does save my cookie. Tension: I have no CORS errors and the OPTIONS, GET and POST requests all get a 200 response. Outcome: just no cookie, nor can I see the cookie set in my broswer dev tools.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

there's no way to set auth tokens in the docs — implement a basic `Bearer` Authorization in FastAPI.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

decoded_token = keycloak_openid.decode_token( token,validate=True, ) — I am trying to use keycloak in my FastAPI app. Tension: verify_token(token: str = Depends(oauth2_scheme)).

INSTANCE_OFProblem

How to serve a machine-learning model via FastAPI using dependencies when the model must be held in a stateful class instance that is updated on a schedule, rather than recreated per request.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

trying to perform data processing during the application's startup. Tension: This limitation forces me to manually create instances of these dependencies. Outcome: this approach doesn't work as expected.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

using FastAPI. Outcome: If I do: `@app.post("/instance/new", tags=["instance"], PlainTextResponse)` I get an error when returning a JSON response.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

The token is visible in inspect > application tab in my browser. — The frontend stores the token in localStorage. Tension: My problem is this flow seems not very secure. Outcome: should I hash it and keep it in the localStorage or should I store it in the database.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Clerk middleware auth() returns userId but orgId and orgRole are undefined

INSTANCE_OFProblem

after logging in, users can access protected routes for 10 seconds. Once the token expires, refreshing the page or navigating should redirect them to the login page. — I’m working on a Next.js project using NextAuth (v5) for authentication. Tension: users can access protected routes for 10 seconds. Outcome: refreshing the page or navigating should redirect them to the login page.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

the default language for the user will be the last one that the user chose — I'm using NextJS 13 for my react app. Tension: I'm not sure how or where to begin.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

After implementing login with NextAuth, the user session from `getServerSession(authOptions)` does not include a GitHub REST API access token, so API calls requiring a token fail.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

After logging out successfully, re-registering or signing in does not reset the Redux state flags `isLogouting` and `isOpeLogoutDialogue` back to `false`, leaving the UI in an incorrect loading/dialog state.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Repeated authentication logic (updating Redux state, authorizing, and saving tokens) is duplicated across multiple createAsyncThunk services.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

The async thunk payloadCreator is defined with two parameters because the user wants no input payload but needs rejectWithValue, and they are unsure about the correct way to handle a callback with no parameters.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

If at all I login in a new tab and close it. Tension: A Session needs to be maintained for authentication and authorization. Outcome: How can I achieve it?

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Embedding a CPQ web app as an iframe inside Salesforce fails to persist authentication cookies/session for API calls. Login in a new tab isn’t recognized inside the Salesforce iframe, preventing authorized requests.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Is it a good idea to make a call to the authorization service for every request? — a "one-per-request" filter to the main service. Tension: to call the authorization service, check the JWT, and get user information from it. Outcome: in the future, to all other services.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

How can I get the authenticated user in the main service? Tension: In a monolithic application, I would save it in the SecurityContextHolder in a "one-per-request" filter. Outcome: Should I add a "one-per-request" filter to the main service.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

there is an endpoint in the main service that needs to be secured not only by a valid JWT — in the main service. Tension: but also by the roles that the authenticated user has. Outcome: configure secured endpoints for each service?

INSTANCE_OFProblem

callback request is not secure enough for production

INSTANCE_OFProblem

The ConvertAPI secret/token used in an Angular JavaScript client is visible in the browser network tab. Attempts to Base64/encode the secret (e.g., using atob/encoding) cause ConvertAPI to reject it as invalid.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

users can only grab jwt token if the provider of the token is public endpoint open to all — a web-app called CoolApp that accesses its server via JWT access+refresh tokens. Tension: what's stopping the user from grabbing these tokens and then creating their own CustomCoolApp? Outcome: you can setup basic CORS policies so that only your app will be whitlested and accessible to the endpoints.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

how do I see whether it's an access token or an ID token? — Given a JWT token (OIDC) issued by Microsoft identity platform. Tension: I don't want the check to rely on assumptions.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

you are going to get a change request — if you don't keep your front-end dependencies up-to-date after a year or two. Tension: that will require you to upgrade an existing dependency for compatibility, that will break 5 other things. Outcome: you won't be able to modify them without declaring package.json bankruptcy and starting over.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

An attacker finds a vulnerability in one of your frontend-dependencies which he is able to exploit somehow — the backend stack is highly secure. Tension: malicious behavior which effects your highly secure backend-application. Outcome: keep your front end packages up-to-date.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Refresh tokens are typically long lived. — With our mobile applications, the product requirement is that we must provide a native/in-app login experience for Android/iOS. Tension: Is there a way for me to hook into the refresh token usage to check if my user's password has expired before issuing them a new access token? Outcome: setting UpdateAccessTokenClaimsOnRefresh = true.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Open service that returns a username from a JWT — Sending your JWT to an "open" service. Tension: that extra network trip provides no value. Outcome: Get rid of it.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

can I create, from 2. and 3. a server side httpOnly cookie (containing a `widget_id`) of domain `mycompany-example.com`, that can be used during step 5. Outcome: when the user visits our website so we know which widget they come from ?

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Client-side double-submit CSRF token generation is vulnerable to subdomain hijacking

INSTANCE_OFProblem

if I expose the Token in any kind of form to the frontend — creating an iFrame for my ChatBot. Tension: Anyone, a "Hacker", would then be able to identify as "Customer of User A". Outcome: This is sadly not possible under any circumstances, to allow such easy impersonation.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

it is also required to "forget" the token right after exiting/closing the app — I have a web API which uses JWT tokens for accessing resources. Tension: The issue with (1) is that it's not cleared when a browser's tab is closed but only when all the windows are. And (2) is not secure since if an attacker manages to inject a code into a client he will be able to extract the access token.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Tension: it can contain false positives (very common with the OWASP tool) and "disputed" vulnerabilities. Outcome: Let's examine only t.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

the Internal service is by accident exposed to the outside world — The Internal service is on a network-level not exposed to the outside world. Tension: users could then make changes to the Internal service that should not be allowed.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

that will only help if they use the same device. Outcome: My current thought is that I'll add ways to try to ensure they sign up with their email from checkout.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

How should I protect sensitive variables from .env file? Tension: sensitive variables from .env file.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

jwtAuthFilter was triggered for /api/auth/login even with permitAll() and anyRequest().permitAll()

INSTANCE_OFProblem

the user can inspect the code. Tension: the user can inspect the code, but if it is used in the backend the users cannot see the queries or credentials. Outcome: it would be best if you did that in the backend.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

the response is created with default Content-type ISO-8859-1 — the moment Spring calls "createOutputMessage(NativeWebRequest webRequest)" from AbstractMessageConverterMethodProcessor.class. Tension: content-type in header is ISO-8859-1 it throws an exception saying no converter found. Outcome: When removing Spring Security, the response is created with Content-type null.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

I don't think CSRF protection for login forms are useful without also using a phishing attack. — login forms. Tension: They are relevant after a user logs in, in cases where there are forms that act on a user's behalf. Outcome: I wouldn't even generate a session cookie until after a user has logged in.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

I want to start measure the software security — I use sonar for detecting the vulnerabilities but it is not enough. Tension: I am not able to see the progress and effort spend on it. Outcome: what can I measure instead of number of vulnerabilities.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Invalid tokens are rejected. — the back uses its public key to verify the token was issued by itself. Tension: what is the point of ensuring the back was the legit issuer of the token? Outcome: it really doesn't serve any additional purpose here.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

When calling the OpenAI API directly from an iOS app, the Authorization Bearer API key appears in network traffic and can be captured/decoded with HTTPS sniffing tools. This allows others to extract and reuse the key.

INSTANCE_OFProblem

Need access to the HTTP request, specifically the auth header, inside AuthenticationManager.authenticate()

INSTANCE_OFProblem

a user's IP number can change even when it's not a malicious action — rejecting tokens with a different IP. Tension: the user might switch to a different wifi or turn on VPN protection and will get a new IP number. Outcome: that approach might be ok.
