A flawed sandbox in @nestjs/devtools-integration lets attackers run code on your machine via CSRF, leading to full Remote Code Execution (RCE).
passport-auth0
Advanced tools
The Auth0 authentication strategy for Passport.js, an authentication middleware for Node.js that can be unobtrusively dropped into any Express-based web application.
:books: Documentation - :rocket: Getting Started - :speech_balloon: Feedback
:information_source: Maintenance Advisory: With the release of https://github.com/auth0/express-openid-connect, we will no longer be adding new features to this library, however we will continue to maintain this library and fix issues. You can read more about the release of our new library at https://auth0.com/blog/auth0-s-express-openid-connect-sdk/
The Auth0 Passport strategy is installed with npm.
npm install passport-auth0
The Auth0 Passport strategy enforces the use of the state
parameter in OAuth 2.0 authorization requests and requires session support in Express to be enabled.
If you require the state
parameter to be omitted (which is not recommended), you can suppress it when calling the Auth0 Passport strategy constructor:
const Auth0Strategy = require('passport-auth0');
const strategy = new Auth0Strategy({
// ...
state: false
},
function(accessToken, refreshToken, extraParams, profile, done) {
// ...
}
);
If you want to change the scope of the ID token provided, add a scope
property to the authenticate configuration passed when defining the route. These must be OIDC standard scopes. If you need data outside of the standard scopes, you can add custom claims to the token.
app.get(
'/login',
passport.authenticate('auth0', {scope: 'openid email profile'}),
function (req, res) {
res.redirect('/');
}
);
If you want to force a specific identity provider you can use:
app.get(
'/login/google',
passport.authenticate('auth0', {connection: 'google-oauth2'}),
function (req, res) {
res.redirect('/');
}
);
If you force an identity provider you can also request custom scope from that identity provider:
app.get(
'/login/google',
passport.authenticate('auth0', {
connection: 'google-oauth2',
connection_scope: 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/contacts.readonly'
}),
function (req, res) {
res.redirect('/');
}
);
If you want to specify an audience for the returned access_token
you can:
app.get(
'/login',
passport.authenticate('auth0', {audience: 'urn:my-api'}),
function (req, res) {
res.redirect('/');
}
);
If you want to check authentication without showing a prompt:
app.get(
'/login',
passport.authenticate('auth0', {prompt: 'none'}),
function (req, res) {
res.redirect('/');
}
);
