fix(auth): reject API keys minted before the owner's last password change - #492
Merged
Merged
Conversation
…ange A password rotation revoked API keys with a best-effort list-then-update scan. If the scan failed, the change still reported success and the key stayed valid. A caller who knew the old password could also mint a key after the scan had run, because CreateAPIKey verified the password it read before the rotation committed. Migration 000103 adds users.password_version, bumped by a trigger whenever password_hash changes, so every writer is covered, and api_keys.password_version. CreateAPIKey stores the version of the user row whose password it verified, and ValidateUserAPIKey returns ErrAPIKeyPasswordRotated when the two differ. Existing keys start at the owner's version 0 and stop working at the next rotation. A version counter instead of a password_changed_at timestamp avoids comparing an app-clock created_at, taken after verification, with a database-clock change time. Refs #402

Deactivate API keys before removing the password versions.
If a password rotation's revocation scan failed, an older key can remain active. This down migration discards the version mismatch. If migration 000103 is applied again, both versions default to zero, so ValidateUserAPIKey accepts the older key. Deactivate API keys in the down migration before dropping the columns so a rollback cannot restore access to rotated credentials.

Items 1 and 2 of #402: API keys minted before the owner's last password change no longer authenticate, whether or not the best-effort revocation scan ran.
Two gaps on
main:invalidateUserCredentialsBestEffortrevokes keys by listing and then updating them. If that fails, the password change still reports success and the key stays valid (only a warning is logged).CreateAPIKeyreads the user, verifies the supplied password against that row and inserts the key later. If a rotation and its revocation scan commit in between, the key is inserted after the scan and survives, minted with the old password.How
000103_api_key_password_versionaddsusers.password_versionandapi_keys.password_version(bothBIGINT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0). ABEFORE UPDATE OF password_hashtrigger increments the user's version when the hash actually changes, so every writer is covered:UpdateUser, reset confirmation, admin updates, and the field-scoped writer proposed in fix(auth): scope profile, password and reset writes to their own columns #487. Writes that keep the hash leave the version alone, and a writer cannot set the version itself.CreateAPIKeystores the version of the user row whose password it verified.ValidateUserAPIKeyreturns the newErrAPIKeyPasswordRotatedwhen the key's version differs from the owner's. Callers already treat any validation error as a denial.Why a counter instead of
password_changed_at. The issue suggests comparing the key'sCreatedAtwith apassword_changed_attimestamp. Onmain,CreatedAtis taken from the app clock after the password has been verified. In the race above it would therefore be later than the rotation, so the comparison would not catch the key, and it would also compare app-clock and database-clock times. A version taken from the same row the password was verified against avoids both problems. The revocation scan is unchanged and still deactivates keys in the normal case.Verification (macOS, real PostgreSQL 16 via the testcontainers harness)

role_arnwith no ARN on a non-host account still collects with host credentials (scheduler.gocollectAWSForAccount,credentials/resolver.goresolveRoleARNProvider,validateAWSAuthMode). This needs an STS host-identity check and is a separate subsystem.SetupAdminRequest.passwordschema inopenapi.yamlstill lacks the "Base64-encoded" note. The login schema already has it.is_active = trueif the revocation scan failed, so the key list can show it as active even though it no longer authenticates.Refs #402
