📄 Description

Description of the Change

Problem

The AuthLoginGetCallback handler in backend/pkg/server/services/auth.go accepts requests with an empty state query parameter, bypassing CSRF validation. The original condition:

if queryState := c.Query("state"); queryState != "" && queryState != state.Value {

When state is absent or empty, queryState != "" evaluates to false, short-circuiting the entire condition. The handler proceeds to exchange the authorization code without verifying the OAuth state.

The AuthLoginPostCallback handler correctly validates with if data.State != state.Value { which rejects empty values.

Solution

Split the compound condition into two explicit checks:

Reject missing state parameter
Reject mismatched state value

This aligns the GET callback with the POST callback's strict validation.

Ref: #101

Type of Change

Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
Security update

Areas Affected

Core Services (Frontend UI/Backend API)

Testing and Verification

Test Configuration

PentAGI Version: v1.1.0 (master @ f111863)
Docker Version: N/A (code review)
Host OS: Windows 11
LLM Provider: N/A

Test Steps

Review AuthLoginGetCallback (auth.go:331) -- compound condition allows empty state bypass
Review AuthLoginPostCallback (auth.go:386) -- strict data.State != state.Value check
Apply fix: split into empty state rejection + mismatch rejection
Verify fix matches POST handler pattern

Test Results

Before: GET callback with no state parameter proceeds to token exchange
After: Missing state returns ErrAuthInvalidAuthorizationState
Mismatched state still returns error; valid state proceeds normally

Security Considerations

CSRF vulnerability fix. Without state validation, an attacker could craft a callback URL with a valid authorization code but no state parameter, associating the attacker's OAuth identity with the victim's session.

No new dependencies. No permission changes.

Performance Impact

Negligible -- one additional string comparison on the OAuth callback path.

Deployment Notes

Backward-compatible. Legitimate OAuth flows already include the state parameter.
