Security: session hardening
Refresh token rotation with theft detection (family_id)
- Added family_id column to auth.sessions (migration 20260507000000_session_family.sql) grouping all tokens issued from the same login into a family
- On refresh, the new session inherits the parent's family_id
- If a revoked token is replayed (indicates the token was stolen after rotation), the entire family is immediately invalidated and a warning is logged — forcing re-authentication on all devices
SameSite=Strict on refresh cookie
- Access cookie stays SameSite=Lax (needed for top-level navigation)
- Refresh cookie upgraded to SameSite=Strict — it is only ever used for explicit POST to /api/auth/refresh, never via cross-site navigation
Refresh token TTL: 30 days → 7 days
- With rotation, active sessions auto-renew and effectively never expire
- Inactive sessions expire after 7 days instead of 30, reducing the theft window
Three changes to fix the immediate-logout issue reported by multiple
Docker users:
1. Add explicit `credentials: 'same-origin'` to the login fetch call.
This was the only fetch in the entire codebase missing it. While
modern browsers default to 'same-origin', some privacy configs or
older engines may default to 'omit', silently dropping Set-Cookie
headers from the login response.
2. Post-login cookie verification: after a successful login, the
frontend now checks that the CSRF cookie (non-HttpOnly, readable
by JS) was actually stored before redirecting. If the browser
rejected the cookies, a clear error message is shown explaining
the OXICLOUD_COOKIE_SECURE / HTTP mismatch.
3. Server-side diagnostic: the login handler now warns in logs when
Secure cookies are set on a request that didn't arrive via HTTPS
(no X-Forwarded-Proto: https header), pointing admins to the
OXICLOUD_COOKIE_SECURE=false fix.
Root cause: users who set OXICLOUD_BASE_URL=https://... (or have
OXICLOUD_COOKIE_SECURE=true) but access via plain HTTP get cookies
with the Secure flag, which browsers silently reject over HTTP.
Fix two issues causing login loop after successful admin setup:
1. CSP blocking inline styles: The frontend JavaScript dynamically sets
inline styles (e.g., element.style.display = 'none') for UI state
management. The CSP header only allowed 'self' for style-src, blocking
these dynamic styles. Added 'unsafe-inline' to style-src directive.
2. Session refresh 401 errors: The cookie Secure flag defaulted to true
when OXICLOUD_BASE_URL was not set, causing cookies to not be sent
over HTTP in Docker deployments. Changed the default to false when
the base URL is not explicitly set to HTTPS, with clear logging to
guide users to set OXICLOUD_COOKIE_SECURE=true for production.
Fixes#203
- JWT secret auto-generates and persists to <STORAGE_PATH>/.jwt_secret
- Remove setup token: first admin setup is open until system initialized
- Fix schema.sql: move CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm/ltree to top
- Update login UI and auth.js to remove setup token fields
