Description

This pull request adds the missing rate limiters to server-side APIs and their corresponding endpoints, with a focus on provider connection checks and sign-out operations.

Rate limiting is now applied to the provider connection flow through the GET /providers/:oauth endpoint and api.isProviderConnected() API, as well as the sign-out flow through the POST /signOut endpoint and api.signOut() API.

Additionally, this PR reorganizes the request validation flow to establish a consistent and predictable order across authentication operations. Rate limiting is now performed before session refresh and other authentication checks, ensuring that rejected requests do not trigger unnecessary authentication processing.

Key Changes

  • Added rate limiting to GET /providers/:oauth.
  • Added rate limiting to api.isProviderConnected().
  • Added rate limiting to POST /signOut.
  • Added rate limiting to api.signOut().
  • Ensured rate limiting runs before session refresh and authentication checks.
  • Reorganized request validation into a consistent lifecycle.
  • Standardized the validation order across affected authentication operations.

Request Validation Order

The request validation flow now follows this order:

  1. Validate OAuth configuration
  2. Build the request — only required for server-side API functions.
  3. Apply rate limiting
  4. Verify the CSRF token
  5. Verify the session

This ordering ensures that inexpensive and security-critical request validation is performed before session-related processing and prevents rejected requests from unnecessarily reaching subsequent authentication logic.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds rate limiting for isProviderConnected and signOut, moves rate-limit checks earlier in several API pipelines, updates rate-limit configuration, and aligns affected tests and changelog entries.

Changes

Rate-limit validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Rate-limit rules and configuration
packages/core/src/@types/config.ts, packages/core/src/router/rate-limiter.ts
RateLimiterConfig now supports isProviderConnected and signOut. The limiter defines a token bucket for isProviderConnected and a fixed window for signOut.
Early validation and sign-out handling
packages/core/src/api/getProviderTokens.ts, packages/core/src/api/isProviderConnected.ts, packages/core/src/api/refreshUserInfo.ts, packages/core/src/api/revokeToken.ts, packages/core/src/api/signInCredentials.ts, packages/core/src/api/signOut.ts
The APIs build requests and check rate limits earlier in their validation chains. isProviderConnected and signOut return rate-limit responses before continuing.
Validation alignment and release notes
packages/core/CHANGELOG.md, packages/core/test/api/stateful/*, packages/core/test/api/stateless/*
The changelog records the security changes. Affected tests now stub BASE_URL, and a stray debug log was removed.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 432a4

This PR adds rate limiting to provider-connection and sign-out requests, but caller-controlled forwarding headers can allow per-client limits to be bypassed, leaving those operations exposed to abuse. The public isProviderConnected limit settings are also ignored, and rate-limited responses omit connected:false, so the change is high risk until these issues are fixed.

In `@packages/core/src/api/isProviderConnected.ts`:
- Around line 19-23: Sanitize or replace caller-controlled proxy headers with a
trusted client identity before rate limiting in the adapter chains for
isProviderConnected and signOut. Update the flows around
verifyRateLimit("isProviderConnected") and verifyRateLimit("signOut") so both
endpoints reach the limiter only with trusted headers, respecting the
trusted-proxy configuration used by rate-limiter.ts. Affected sites:
packages/core/src/api/isProviderConnected.ts lines 19-23 and
packages/core/src/api/signOut.ts lines 23-26; apply the header-sanitization
change at both sites.

In `@packages/core/src/router/rate-limiter.ts`:
- Around line 66-71: Update defaultValues() to add an explicit
isProviderConnected case returning the expected rate-limit response shape with
connected set to false, so isProviderConnected() preserves that field when
limited; leave the existing redirect and redirectURL handling unchanged.

configuration to merge config?.isProviderConnected using the same
configuration-spread pattern as the other rules, while retaining the existing
defaults.
