Summary

UserController::logout (the IDP web logout at GET /accounts/user/logout) now loads the pending OAuth2 / OpenID request memento before calling AuthService::logout and serializes it again once the session has been flushed. The next login therefore keeps the OAUTH2 / OIDC strategy and returns the user to the relying party.

AuthService::logout itself is unchanged: end-session, invalid login hint and prompt=login still flush everything.

Why

A relying party sends the user to /oauth2/auth while the IDP session already belongs to another user. The IDP shows the consent page for that user; to switch accounts the user goes to the profile page and clicks Logout. Since #118 that logout runs Session::flush(), which also drops the pending authorization request. The login page that follows no longer knows a client is waiting, so the next login (Apple, Facebook, password, any method) runs under the DEFAULT strategy and ends on the user's identity page instead of returning to the client.

Reproduced on prod on 2026-09-25 from the FN Attendee iOS app with Sign in with Apple as a new account, after the session cookie fix in #161 was deployed:

  • GET /accounts/user/logout trace d92ed49baaf3e7d5dffd238d653683c5: OAuth2MementoSessionSerializerService::exists 1, then flushed.
  • Apple callback trace 57300a8d4c65897fbea5caf35f6f9f85: exists 0, LoginStrategyFactory::build DEFAULT, redirect to the identity page.

The memento is the relying party's request, not user data; restoring it after the flush reinstates the pre-#118 behaviour for this route only.

Tests

tests/UserLogoutPreservesPendingOAuth2RequestTest.php:

  • the pending OAuth2 request survives the web logout;
  • Sign in with Apple as a brand-new user after that logout redirects to /oauth2/auth, not to the identity page (fails on main with /tipit.llc);
  • a logout with no pending request leaves no OAuth2 state behind.
vendor/bin/phpunit --filter "UserLogoutPreservesPendingOAuth2RequestTest|OAuth2EndSessionTest|AuthServiceLogoutTest|OAuth2ProtocolTest::testAuthCode$|OAuth2ProtocolTest::testCancelAuthCode"
OK (14 tests, 143 assertions)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Logging out now preserves a pending OAuth2 or OpenID request, so users can continue the authorization flow after signing out. If no request is pending, logout leaves no authorization state behind.

When a relying party starts /oauth2/auth while the IDP session already belongs to
another user, the user logs out from the IDP page to switch accounts. Since
AuthService::logout flushes the whole session (#118) that logout also dropped the
pending authorization request, so the next login ran under the DEFAULT strategy
and ended on the identity page instead of returning to the client. Reproduced on
prod with Sign in with Apple from the FN Attendee iOS app.

UserController::logout now loads the pending OAuth2 / OpenID memento before the
logout and serializes it again after the flush. End-session, invalid login hint
and prompt=login paths keep the full flush.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Logout now saves pending OAuth2 and OpenID mementos before calling the authentication service, then restores them afterward. Regression tests cover OAuth2 request retention, the Apple social-login redirect flow, and logout without a pending request.

Changes

Logout request preservation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Preserve pending requests through logout
app/Http/Controllers/UserController.php, tests/UserLogoutPreservesPendingOAuth2RequestTest.php
The logout method saves existing OAuth2 and OpenID mementos before logout and restores them afterward. Tests cover OAuth2 request details, a subsequent Apple login redirect, and the absence of OAuth2 state when no request is pending.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~12 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0fa76

A malformed pending authorization request can prevent a user from logging out. Allow logout to discard an invalid memento before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0fa76

Logout still clears the signed-in identity, and subsequent authorization retains client and consent checks. The design nevertheless allows an earlier relying-party request to influence a later login, including one by a different user. The limits of that continuation, particularly for abandoned requests and OpenID flows, merit review.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: An existing relying-party request now survives explicit web logout and can steer a subsequent login, including an account switch. Logout alone no longer cancels an abandoned authorization attempt. This is a change in request lifecycle, not a demonstrated bypass of client, redirect, identity, or consent controls.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The affected scope is the browser session's pending OAuth2 or OpenID request and its later relying-party continuation, not restoration of the previous signed-in principal. No new infrastructure, secret authority, or service-to-service privilege is evidenced.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A relying-party request already present in a user's session can survive logout and direct that browser's next login into authorization. A request abandoned after logout can likewise remain influential on a later login; this review did not establish unauthorized token issuance or an arbitrary redirect.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — OAuth2 continuation validates the restored request and checks client activity, allowed redirect URI, scope, current user, and applicable consent before issuing a response. OpenID's endpoint validates a restored message before protocol handling; its full downstream relying-party controls were not established here.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Normal OAuth2 success and handled cancellation or error paths forget the saved request. Logout itself now retains it instead; neither concurrent transition safety nor an interrupted restore is covered by the cited logout regression tests.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Define an explicit way to abandon a pending relying-party request, and bound how long it may steer a later login. Verify OpenID completion and consent after account switching, and assess whether production session semantics require a versioned or atomic restore.

… test

SocialLoginController::callback only accepts a provider with credentials in
config/services.php. CI does not define APPLE_CLIENT_ID / APPLE_CLIENT_SECRET,
so the callback answered with the social login error view instead of the
OAuth2 redirect. The test now sets dummy Apple credentials itself; the provider
round trip is mocked, so nothing is called.

Let logout discard an undecodable memento.

json_encode() can return false for invalid UTF-8. The serializers store that result without checking it. On reload, json_decode() can return null, which violates buildFromState(array) and can throw before AuthService::logout() runs.

Catch \Throwable while loading each memento. Then logout can continue without restoring the invalid value.

🐛 Suggested fix
-        $pending_oauth2_request = $this->oauth2_memento_service->exists() ? $this->oauth2_memento_service->load() : null;
-        $pending_openid_request = $this->openid_memento_service->exists() ? $this->openid_memento_service->load() : null;
+        $pending_oauth2_request = null;
+        if ($this->oauth2_memento_service->exists()) {

+            } catch (\Throwable $ex) {

+            }
