Summary

The sessions table now stores only a SHA-256 digest of the browser session value. Previously a database read (backup, SQL access, a PostgreSQL replica) yielded cookies that could be used directly.

  • One helper: sessionDigest(raw) returns the hex SHA-256 of the cookie value. It is used for the insert (Create), for lookup and its two cleanup deletes, and for HandleLogout. The token column keeps its name and now holds the digest.
  • Cookie: Create still returns the opaque raw value for the cookie, so local.go and oidc.go are unchanged. A stored digest presented as a cookie is hashed again, matches nothing, and gets 401.
  • Preserved:
    • Expiry cleanup (by expires_at) and user-wide revocation (DeleteForUser, DeleteUser, by user_id) work as before.
    • CSRF is unchanged: csrf_token is an independent random value compared with the header.
  • Existing sessions: common/014_sessions_digest_reset.sql (DELETE FROM sessions;, portable) deliberately invalidates them, so everyone signs in once after the upgrade.
  • Docs: api/specs.md (schema, sessions, 014), docs/security.md.

Merge note: #561 edits the same api/specs.md region. Whichever PR merges second keeps both migration blocks (013 before 014) and both bullets, and the heading becomes Schema (migrations 001-014).

Tests

  • sessions_digest_test.go (new):
    • The stored DB value used as a cookie gets 401, on GET and on POST with the real CSRF token.
    • The raw cookie works.
    • The stored value is the digest, not the cookie.
    • Logout deletes by digest.
    • Expiry cleanup and revoke-all.
    • CSRF is still enforced, and csrf_token is stored as issued.
    • The login cookie is the raw value.
  • migrations_test.go: 014 deletes rows that existed before it.
  • Existing tests changed, approved by the maintainer: 6 lines in sessions_test.go change their bound argument from tok to sessionDigest(tok); the logic is otherwise unchanged. They are in Lookup_Expired, Lookup_CorruptExpires (two lines), HandleLogout, GCOnce_DeletesExpired and StartGC.

Test plan

  • go (api), api (postgres), lint (noctx, revive)
  • Coverage gate api 80
  • e2e api-auth and upgrade buckets (sessions wiped on upgrade; logins happen after the upgrade)

Nothing was built or run locally, at the maintainer's request; CI is the verification. Briefed at sonnet, implemented at haiku, reviewed at opus; the test fix was verified at sonnet.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Security
    • Session cookies are now stored as SHA-256 digests rather than raw values. Existing sessions are invalidated and users will need to sign in again.
    • Presenting a stored digest as a session cookie is rejected; issued cookies and CSRF protection continue to work as before.
  • Documentation
    • Updated authentication and migration documentation to reflect session storage and validation behavior.

Sessions now store only the SHA-256 digest of the browser session value
instead of the value itself, preventing a leaked database from yielding
usable session cookies.

Walkthrough

Session tokens are now stored as lowercase hexadecimal SHA-256 digests. Cookie issuance still returns the raw token, and authentication, cleanup, and logout hash presented tokens. Migration 014 deletes existing sessions.

Changes

Session Digest Storage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Digest-based session handling
api/internal/auth/sessions.go, api/internal/auth/sessions_digest_test.go, api/internal/auth/sessions_test.go, docs/security.md
Session creation stores a digest while returning the raw cookie. Lookup, cleanup, and logout hash the presented cookie. Tests cover digest storage, authentication, CSRF checks, logout, revocation, and expiration cleanup. Security documentation describes digest storage.
Legacy session reset
api/internal/db/migrations/common/014_sessions_digest_reset.sql, api/internal/db/migrations_test.go, api/specs.md
Migration 014 deletes existing session rows. Migration tests verify the deletion and preservation of sessions added afterward. The schema and authentication documentation describe the migration and digest-based storage.
