feat(self-hosted-auth): add webiny reset-password lockout escape hatch - #5664
Merged
Merged
Conversation
Self-hosted projects had no way to set a password outside the admin UI, so a
forgotten password or a misconfigured mailer could leave the last admin locked
out with no way back in.
`webiny reset-password <email>` prompts for a new password and hands it to a
new `selfHostedAuthCliResetPassword` mutation, authorized by a short-lived JWT
the CLI mints with the project's own signing secret. The command ships from
this package and registers itself through the `Cli/Command` extension, so a
self-hosted project gets it without any wiring.
Going through GraphQL rather than the database keeps the CLI free of database
drivers and makes the flow work with any `CredentialsStorageOperations`
implementation, SQL or otherwise. The cost is that the API has to be
reachable, which is acceptable: this exists for "locked out of the admin UI",
not "the API is down".
Holding the signing secret already permits minting a login token for any user,
since the identity provider trusts the `sub` claim, so this grants no new
privilege. It does mean the two token kinds share a secret, so reset tokens
carry a distinct issuer and audience and no subject, the identity provider
rejects the reset issuer explicitly, and the verifier rejects a token that
smuggles in a subject. Tests pin down both directions.
`<SelfHostedAuth cliPasswordReset={false} />` removes the command and drops
the mutation from the schema, rather than leaving it in place and refusing.

🚓 Slop Cop ✅ Nothing worth flagging. The diff looks consistent with the PR's stated intent and the code-style rules. The PR's diff (mostly new files inside packages/self-hosted-auth plus a generated references.json and yarn.lock bump) matches its stated scope of adding a CLI reset-password escape hatch; no integrity red flags or style violations found in the visible diff. Automated, non-blocking heads-up from an LLM. It can be wrong — use your judgment. Regenerates on every push. |
Both surfaced in review as questions about which instance the command talks
to, and what happens when the deployed API was built without the feature.
An API built with `cliPasswordReset={false}` has no such field, so GraphQL
rejects it during validation and it arrives as a schema error, not a null
result. The message that was meant to catch this never fired, and the operator
saw a raw `Cannot query field` instead. Detect it where it actually lands.
A reset against a deployed instance also needs the same `signingSecret` the
API was built with, since the token is signed with whatever the local config
resolves to and there are no deploy environments in the self-hosted hosting
type. A mismatch produced a bare `INVALID_RESET_TOKEN` with no hint, so name
that cause (and clock skew) when the token is refused.
Also documents which instance gets talked to, and what `--api-url` is for.

A production secret often lives in a secret manager rather than in the repo, so requiring it to come from `webiny.config.tsx` meant the command could only ever reach the instance the local config happened to describe. The secret now resolves from `--signing-secret`, then the project config, then $WEBINY_SELF_HOSTED_SIGNING_SECRET. The flag wins because it is the most deliberate thing the operator can do, and the env var comes last so a stale shell export cannot quietly override a correctly configured project. The env var is the one to prefer in practice, since a flag is visible in shell history and in the process list, and the help text says so. With both the secret and the URL supplied, the local project no longer needs a <SelfHostedAuth> extension at all, which is what makes it possible to reset on a deployed box from a laptop configured for localhost. The `cliPasswordReset` check now applies only when the local config is describing the target, since otherwise the target's own build is what decides whether the mutation exists.

…t config The order shipped one commit ago was flag, then project config, then env var, reasoning that a stale shell export should not override a project that is configured correctly. That defeats the workflow the env var exists for. A developer's `webiny.config.tsx` nearly always resolves a `signingSecret` locally, so ranking it above the env var means a production reset gets signed with the dev secret. The API refuses it, and the only thing the operator has to go on is `INVALID_RESET_TOKEN`. Both overrides now beat the config: flag, then env var, then config. The config is the default rather than a preference, which is the conventional order and the only one under which the documented `op read` example works.

…th-cli-password-reset # Conflicts: # packages/cli-core/files/references.json
The flag stays as it was built: optional, enabled unless a project passes
`cliPasswordReset={false}`. Opt-out rather than opt-in, because the escape
hatch is most wanted by whoever has not thought about it.
What was missing is the reasoning. The flag is not what makes the mutation
safe, and a future reader could easily assume it is and relax the token
verification on that basis. The signing secret is the only thing between a
caller and an arbitrary password write, and it already permits minting a login
token for any user, so the endpoint grants nothing a leaked secret did not.
The flag is a kill switch for a flaw in `verifyCliResetToken`, and an answer
for deployments that must be able to state no such endpoint exists.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…sions
`webiny reset-password` could never find the signing secret or the API URL,
even with `<SelfHostedAuth signingSecret={...} />` right there in the config.
`hydrateConfig` keeps only those extensions whose definition is registered
with the SDK and silently drops the rest. Neither `Project/SelfHostedAuth` nor
`Infra/ApiUrl` registers a definition anywhere, so `extensionsByType` returned
an empty array for both and the command failed with "No JWT signing secret
available" regardless of how the project was set up.
Both values are read as `Api/BuildParam` entries instead, which is registered
and is what the two extensions emit anyway. That also means the CLI reads
exactly what the API was built with, from the same source, rather than from a
parallel path that could disagree with it.
The tests did not catch this because they stubbed `extensionsByType` directly,
so they asserted the intent and never touched the plumbing that was broken.
The stub now models build params, and the reason is written down next to it so
nobody reverts to the shape that cannot work.
The signing secret's param name also moves into `shared/buildParams.ts`, since
four places have to agree on it and a disagreement shows up only as a refused
token.

…sonwebtoken Two findings from a review pass over the branch. The handler checked `cliPasswordReset` and refused when it was off, but `<SelfHostedAuth>` does not render the `Cli/Command` extension in that case, so a disabled project has no `reset-password` command to invoke and the guard could never run. Its test passed only because it registered the command by hand. Removed, with the reasoning recorded at the render site, including the one combination this rules out: using `--api-url` / `--signing-secret` from a disabled project to reach an instance that still has the mutation. Since the flag lives in the single shared config, that only arises against an instance built before the flag flipped, which `callApi` already explains. `inquirer` was deliberately a dynamic import because config validation loads every `Cli/Command` module on every CLI invocation. `signCliResetToken` then pulled `jsonwebtoken` into that same path statically, undoing the intent. It is now deferred the same way, verified against the built output: the command's static graph is three alias-free imports and `jsonwebtoken` is not among them.

…PI call `verifyCliResetToken` trusted `exp` to be there. `jwt.verify` only enforces the claim when the token carries one, so a token signed with the right secret, issuer and audience but no expiry verified forever, the opposite of what the docblock promised. It now rejects a payload whose `exp` is not a number. `signCliResetToken` always sets a TTL, so nothing in the repo minted such a token, but the verifier is the boundary and should not take the claim on faith. The CLI's request had no timeout. Node's fetch waits indefinitely, so an API that accepts the connection and then goes quiet left the operator with no output and no way to tell whether the password had changed. The request now runs under a 30 second deadline. It covers reading the body as well as the request, since a stalled response stream hangs just as thoroughly, and the abort surfaces as the existing "could not reach the API" error.

Normalize timeouts during response-body reading.
If the server sends headers and then stalls the body, the deadline aborts response.json(). Only fetch() is inside the connectivity-error catch, so the abort escapes as a raw error instead of the API connectivity message. Catch the body-read error and wrap it only when controller.signal.aborted is true. Preserve ordinary JSON parse errors.

The command was doing the work as well as the talking: resolving the signing secret and API URL, minting the token, calling the mutation, and explaining what came back. None of that needs a terminal. `ResetPassword` now owns it, and `ResetPasswordCommand` declares the arguments, prompts for the password and prints the result. Two public methods rather than one, because resolving the target has to happen before the prompt: a missing secret or API URL is a dead end, and typing a new password into one is a miserable way to find that out. Behaviour is unchanged. The existing command tests pass untouched, and `ResetPassword.test.ts` drives the reset with no CLI in the picture, which is the point of the split. `jsonwebtoken` stays behind a dynamic import, so config validation still loads the command module without it.

… redundant issuer check `SelfHostedAuthTokenExpiresIn` was spelled out in the config extension and again in `TokenIssuer`. It is now `TOKEN_EXPIRES_IN_BUILD_PARAM`, alongside the two build params that already had constants. `isApplicable` checked for the CLI reset issuer and then compared against `SELF_HOSTED_ISSUER`, which can only agree with the first check: the two issuers are different strings, so the equality alone keeps reset tokens out. The extra branch is gone and a test pins what it was guarding, that the two issuers never become the same value. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

What changed
Self-hosted projects had no way to set a password outside the admin UI. A forgotten password, or a mailer nobody configured, could leave the last admin locked out with no way back in. This adds the escape hatch.
The command prompts for the password (never a flag, so it stays out of shell history and the process list), mints a short-lived JWT with the project's own signing secret, and calls a new
selfHostedAuthCliResetPasswordmutation. It ships from@webiny/self-hosted-authand registers itself through theCli/Commandextension, so a project that already has<SelfHostedAuth />gets the command with no wiring.The reset itself lives in a
ResetPasswordclass that the command calls, so a seeding script or an installer can do the same thing without a terminal.<SelfHostedAuth cliPasswordReset={false} />turns it off. That drops the command and removes the mutation from the schema, rather than leaving it in introspection and refusing at runtime. Someone flipping that flag is closing a door.Why GraphQL and not the database
Reaching the credential store directly would have meant a database driver in the CLI and a code path per engine. Going through the API instead means it works with any
CredentialsStorageOperationsimplementation, SQL or otherwise, and the CLI stays free ofknex.The cost is that the API has to be reachable. That is the right trade here: this exists for "locked out of the admin UI", not "the API is down". If the API is down, a password is not what is blocking you. The command finds the URL from
<Infra.ApiUrl>, or takes--api-url. It gives up after 30 seconds rather than hanging on an API that accepts the connection and then never answers.On the shared secret
Holding
SelfHostedAuthSigningSecretalready permits minting a login token for any user, because the identity provider trusts thesubclaim and resolves permissions from it. So a CLI that holds the secret gains no privilege it did not already have, which is what makes a secret-signed mutation reasonable rather than a new attack surface.It does mean login tokens and reset tokens share one secret, so the separation between them is the whole security story:
sub.sub, and one that carries no expiry at all.42 tests cover both directions: a login token buys no reset, and a reset token buys no identity (checked through a real container, not just the pure function).
Changelog
Title line: Reset a self-hosted password from the command line
Body: Self-hosted installations had no way to change a password other than the admin UI, so a forgotten password or an unconfigured mailer could lock out the last administrator for good. A new command sets any user's password from the terminal, and it can be switched off for projects that do not want it.
