While looking at the session code I stumbled on this one, reusing codes and states is no good.

This is fairly low stakes as it would only let attackers write their records onto your pds in the case of a CSRF attack, through piper. Again this is not a big deal because you would just write fake plays. Potential rate-limit / DOS abuses I guess?

The PKCE issue is slightly harder to trigger as one would have to steal a code, but with that code they could gain access to the code owner's spotify account, impact depends on the requested scope set but default is pretty bare. Obviously really difficult to pull off stealing that code.

Because of the low actual security stakes I felt an open PR would be okay.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Improved Spotify sign-in security with OAuth 2.0 and PKCE protections.
    • OAuth sign-in attempts are now tied to the initiating session.
    • Improved session and account linking during authentication.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented reuse of OAuth states and verification values, including across sessions.
    • Added clearer handling for expired, invalid, or failed sign-in attempts.
    • Authentication failures and token-storage errors now return consistent responses.
    • Unauthenticated requests are redirected to the home page.
    • Preserved valid refresh tokens when temporary Spotify errors occur.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR updates Spotify OAuth registration and binds each OAuth state to the authenticated user. Callback handling validates the user, exchanges PKCE codes, reports token-storage failures as HTTP 500, and passes user IDs through Spotify token storage.

Changes

OAuth 2.0 Flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
OAuth configuration and login state
cmd/main.go, oauth/oauth2.go, oauth/oauth2_test.go
NewOAuth2Service now receives oauth2.Config, a logger, and a user ID resolver. Login requires authentication and stores the user ID with expiring state and PKCE values. Tests cover authenticated login and challenge parameters.
Callback validation and token exchange
oauth/oauth2.go, oauth/oauth2_test.go
Callbacks consume state, reject cross-user reuse, exchange codes with the stored verifier, and map token-storage failures to HTTP 500. Tests cover replay, user mismatch, storage failure, and status handling.
Token receiver integration
oauth/service.go, service/spotify/spotify.go
TokenReceiver.SetAccessToken and Spotify storage no longer use hasSession. Spotify identifies or creates users from the supplied user ID. Refresh-token cleanup now occurs only for permanent invalid_grant rejections.
Authenticated route wiring
cmd/routes.go, session/session.go
Spotify login and callback routes now require valid sessions. Invalid sessions redirect to /.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 82be3

The PR strengthens Spotify OAuth protection by binding one-time state and PKCE flows to authenticated users and surfacing token-storage failures. A bounded remaining risk is that concurrent refresh or reauthentication activity could cause stale credential cleanup to remove newer credentials or leave rejected credentials persisted, so merge is reasonable with explicit owner follow-up.

Greptile Summary

This PR replaces reusable Spotify OAuth state and PKCE values with per-login, single-use values stored for ten minutes. It also refactors OAuth configuration and token receiver wiring, but state remains transferable across Piper sessions and the new unauthenticated store is unbounded.

  • Generates a fresh state, verifier, and S256 challenge for each authorization attempt.
  • Atomically consumes state during callbacks and maps callback failures to generic HTTP errors.
  • Passes the callback request's current Piper user ID into Spotify token persistence.
  • Adds tests for PKCE binding, state replay prevention, and HTTP error mapping.

Confidence Score: 3/5

The PR should not merge until OAuth state is bound to the initiating Piper session, because a transferred callback can associate an attacker's Spotify identity with a victim user.

Single-use state prevents replay but remains process-global and transferable, while callback ownership is selected from whichever Piper session presents it; the new store also permits unauthenticated requests to accumulate state with increasingly expensive cleanup.

Files Needing Attention: oauth/oauth2.go, oauth/oauth2_test.go

Security Review

The single-use state is not tied to the initiating Piper session, so a callback initiated by one browser can be completed under another user's session and attach the wrong Spotify identity. The unauthenticated login endpoint also retains unbounded state and performs a full-map expiry scan on every insertion.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
oauth/oauth2.go Introduces single-use PKCE state storage, but does not bind state to the initiating session and retains unbounded unauthenticated request state.
cmd/main.go Migrates Spotify OAuth construction to an explicit oauth2.Config and injects callback-session user lookup.
service/spotify/spotify.go Simplifies token receiver session handling by treating user ID zero as unauthenticated.
oauth/service.go Updates the TokenReceiver contract to pass only the current user ID.
oauth/oauth2_test.go Adds broad single-use-state and PKCE tests, but does not test that callbacks are bound to the initiating Piper session.

### Issue 1
oauth/oauth2.go:30-33
**State remains cross-session transferable**

When an authorization callback initiated by one browser is opened by an authenticated Piper user, the process-wide state validates successfully but `UserID` comes from the completing request, causing the initiating Spotify identity to be associated with the wrong Piper user.

**How this was verified:** State entries contain no session identity, and the callback passes its current session user ID into Spotify persistence.

### Issue 2
oauth/oauth2.go:50-58
**OAuth state storage grows unbounded**

Every unauthenticated login adds a ten-minute entry without a capacity or per-client limit, and each insertion scans the entire map under a mutex, so sustained login traffic increases retained memory and cleanup latency.

**How this was verified:** The login route is unauthenticated, while `Set` performs a full-map expiry scan and unconditionally inserts each newly generated state.

Document the userID == 0 sentinel in the interface contract.

The hasSession parameter is removed. Implementations now infer "no session" from userID == 0, as service/spotify/spotify.go line 134 does. That rule is not stated in the contract. State it so other implementations behave consistently.

♻️ Proposed doc update
 type TokenReceiver interface {
-	// SetAccessToken stores the access token in the db
-	// if there is a session, will associate the token with the session
+	// SetAccessToken stores the access token in the db and associates it with
+	// userID. A userID of 0 means there is no authenticated session.
+	// It returns the stored user ID.
 	SetAccessToken(token string, refreshToken string, userID int64) (int64, error)
