Summary
Harden input handling in
api/controllers/AuthController.js(flagged by multi_agent_ai).Vulnerability
V-003api/controllers/AuthController.js:49Description: The refresh token mechanism uses UUIDv1 tokens stored in the database. While the token is rotated when a new JWT is generated (line 38), there is no mechanism to invalidate refresh tokens on logout or password change. If an attacker obtains a valid refresh token (e.g., via network interception or XSS), they can use it to generate new JWTs indefinitely until the legitimate user happens to authenticate again (which rotates the token). Additionally, UUIDv1 is time-based and partially predictable.
Threat Model Context
This controller appears to be publicly accessible. This is a web service - vulnerabilities in request handlers are directly exploitable by remote attackers.
Changes
api/controllers/AuthController.jsBehavior Preservation
The change is scoped to 1 file on the vulnerable path; it only tightens handling of untrusted input and leaves valid inputs unaffected.
This patch removes an exploit primitive — a code pattern that, while not independently exploitable today, could be chained with other weaknesses by automated exploit-development tooling. Proactive removal of such primitives raises the bar against increasingly capable automated attack tools.
