Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved refresh token security by ensuring tokens are properly rotated and cannot be reused.
    • Enhanced error handling during token refresh operations for clearer feedback.
  • New Features

    • Tokens now include a unique identifier to strengthen authentication integrity.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved token generation to ensure each token includes a unique identifier and updated expiration and issue times when refreshed, enhancing security and reliability.

Walkthrough

The GenerateToken method in the authentication service was updated to ensure a "jti" (JWT ID) claim is always present by generating a UUID if missing. The RefreshToken method now removes "exp", "iat", and "jti" claims from old tokens before generating new ones, ensuring these claims are freshly set. Additionally, the refresh token used is invalidated to prevent reuse.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
pkg/auth/service.go Added "jti" claim generation in GenerateToken; in RefreshToken, removed old "exp", "iat", "jti" claims, invalidated used refresh token, and enhanced error handling.

Poem

In the land of tokens, a rabbit did see,
A missing "jti" claim—oh, what could it be?
With a hop and a jump, a UUID appeared,
Now tokens are fresh, just as the bunny revered.
Refreshing the claims, old values swept away,
Secure and unique, in every way!

Hello @TheApeMachine, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

Summary of Changes

Hello! Gemini here, providing a summary of this pull request to help everyone get up to speed quickly. This PR addresses an issue with refresh token generation. The primary goal is to ensure that refresh tokens are unique and that when a token is refreshed, the newly issued token receives updated claims, specifically regenerating the expiration time (exp), issued at time (iat), and adding a unique identifier (jti). This makes the refresh process more robust and ensures token uniqueness.

Highlights

  • Unique Refresh Tokens: The pull request introduces the use of the jti (JWT ID) claim, populated with a new UUID, to ensure that each generated token, including refresh tokens, has a unique identifier.
  • Regenerate Claims on Refresh: The RefreshToken function is updated to explicitly remove the old exp, iat, and jti claims from the parsed token before generating the new token. This forces the GenerateToken function to create fresh values for these claims for the newly issued token during the refresh operation.

Changelog

  • pkg/auth/service.go
    • Added import for the github.com/google/uuid package.
    • Modified the GenerateToken function to add a jti claim with a new UUID if it's not already present in the claims.
    • Explicitly added a jti claim with a new UUID when generating the refresh token within GenerateToken.
    • Updated the RefreshToken function to delete the exp, iat, and jti claims from the old token's claims before generating the new token.

Code Review

This pull request makes important improvements to the authentication service by ensuring refresh tokens are unique through the addition of jti claims and by correctly regenerating token claims (exp, iat, jti) during the token refresh process. The changes are clear and directly address the stated goals.

One critical area for improvement has been identified regarding the lifecycle of the old refresh token after a successful refresh operation. Details and suggestions are provided in the review comments.

Summary of Findings

  • Security: Old Refresh Token Not Invalidated: The RefreshToken function successfully generates new tokens but does not invalidate the old refresh token used for the operation. This allows the old refresh token to be potentially reused until its own expiry, which is a security concern. Implementing refresh token rotation by invalidating the old token upon successful refresh is recommended. A review comment with high severity has been added for this.
  • Consistency: Time Value Usage in Token Generation: In GenerateToken, time.Now() is called multiple times for setting expiration/issued-at times (e.g., for the refresh token's exp claim on line 99 and TokenInfo.ExpiresAt on line 110 of pkg/auth/service.go). This could lead to minor discrepancies. Using a single time.Now() value captured at the beginning of the function for all related timestamps would ensure consistency. No review comment was added for this medium severity finding as the affected lines were not directly part of the diff changes, or were context lines, preventing targeted code suggestions per review settings.

Merge Readiness

The pull request introduces valuable fixes for token generation. However, there is a high-severity security concern regarding the handling of old refresh tokens that should be addressed before merging. Once this is resolved, and corresponding tests are updated, the changes would be in a much better state for merging. As a reviewer, I am not authorized to approve the pull request, and further review and approval by maintainers will be necessary.

10-10: LGTM! Import added for JWT ID generation.

The UUID package import is correctly added to support unique JWT ID generation.


87-89: Excellent security enhancement with JTI claim generation.

Adding the "jti" (JWT ID) claim when not present is a security best practice that provides:

  • Unique token identification
  • Enhanced token tracking capabilities
  • Protection against token replay attacks
  • Compliance with JWT standards (RFC 7519)

The implementation correctly checks for the claim's existence before generating a new UUID.


101-101: Good consistency in refresh token JTI generation.

The refresh token now includes a unique "jti" claim, maintaining consistency with the main token generation. This ensures both token types have proper unique identifiers.


144-148: Critical fix for proper token refresh behavior.

Removing the old timing claims ("exp", "iat", "jti") before generating a new token is essential for correct refresh token functionality. This ensures:

  • Fresh expiration times are set
  • New issued-at timestamps are generated
  • Unique JWT IDs are created for each refresh

This addresses a potential security issue where old timing information could be carried forward.
