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.

Added state parameter to the Google Auth popup response for validation.Add OAuth State Validation to Google Authentication Flow
Summary

This PR improves the security of the Google OAuth authentication flow by implementing OAuth state parameter generation and validation.

Changes
Added generation of a unique OAuth state value before initiating Google sign-in.
Included the generated state in Google authorization requests.
Stored the state in session storage during the authentication process.
Validated the returned state value before accepting the access token.
Rejected authentication responses with missing or mismatched state values.
Motivation

The current Google OAuth implementation does not validate the OAuth state parameter. Without state verification, authentication flows can be vulnerable to CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) and authorization response spoofing attacks.

Implementing state validation follows OAuth 2.0 security best practices and ensures that authentication responses are tied to requests initiated by the current user session.

Impact
Improves authentication security.
Reduces the risk of OAuth-related CSRF attacks.
Ensures only valid authorization responses are accepted.
Aligns the Google sign-in implementation with recommended OAuth security guidelines.
Testing
Verified Google sign-in flow with a valid state value.
Verified authentication succeeds when the returned state matches the stored value.
Verified authentication is rejected when the state value is missing or invalid.
Confirmed existing session handling continues to function as expected.
