Impact
All versions of @fastify/oauth2 used a statically generated state
parameter at startup time and were used across all requests for all users.
The purpose of the Oauth2 state
parameter is to prevent Cross-Site-Request-Forgery attacks. As such, it should be unique per user and should be connected to the user's session in some way that will allow the server to validate it.
Patches
v7.2.0 changes the default behavior to store the state
in a cookie with the http-only
and same-site=lax
attributes set. The state is now by default generated for every user.
Note that this contains a breaking change in the checkStateFunction
function, which now accepts the full Request
object.
Workarounds
There are no known workarounds.
