Add state parameter to OAuth flow for validationconst ## Summary Add OAuth state validation to the Google authentication flow. ## Changes Made * Generated a unique OAuth `state` parameter before initiating Google sign-in. * Stored the generated state locally for verification. * Validated the returned state value before accepting the access token. * Rejected authentication responses with missing or mismatched state values. ## Why This Change? The current Google OAuth implementation does not include a `state` parameter. Without state validation, the application is more vulnerable to CSRF and authorization response spoofing attacks. Adding state verification aligns the authentication flow with OAuth 2.0 security best practices and improves protection against malicious or unexpected authorization responses. ## Impact * Improves authentication security. * Reduces risk of OAuth-related CSRF attacks. * Aligns implementation with Google's recommended OAuth practices. * Increases trustworthiness of received authentication tokens.
