Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for configured bypass tokens for Turnstile verification and rate limits.
    • Requests can now bypass applicable rate limits when authorized with a valid bypass token.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented privileged accounts from using Turnstile bypasses for login and token-reporting actions.
    • Privileged-account password-reset attempts using a bypass are safely rejected without revealing account details.
    • Added secure handling and logging for valid or invalid bypass credentials.

Pull request overview

Adds an admin-managed “bypass token” mechanism that can selectively bypass Turnstile and/or rate limiting, tracks per-user usage for leak-defense, and optionally auto-cleans up accounts created/used via bypass tokens.

Changes:

  • Introduce new bypass-token data model + EF migration (tokens, per-user use tracking, enum types).
  • Add middleware + services to resolve X-OpenShock-Bypass-Token once per request and allow synchronous downstream checks (rate limiting / Turnstile).
  • Add admin endpoints for managing bypass tokens and a cron job to delete eligible bypass-token-used accounts after a grace period.

# Conflicts:
#	Common/OpenShockMiddlewareHelper.cs
develop moved the Turnstile verification out of LoginV2 into _Turnstile.cs
and dropped the OpenShock.API.Errors using along with it, but this branch's
admin bypass guard still references TurnstileError. RoleType also moved into
the OpenShock.Common.OpenShockDb namespace with the Internal.Net extraction.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds a bypass-token middleware and flags for Turnstile and rate-limit bypasses. It integrates rate-limit bypass selection and blocks privileged accounts from selected Turnstile-bypassed authentication, password-reset, and token-reporting flows.

Changes

Bypass token controls

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bypass token resolution
Common/Models/BypassTokenType.cs, Common/Constants/AuthConstants.cs, Common/Extensions/HttpContextExtensions.cs, Common/Middleware/BypassTokenMiddleware.cs, Common/OpenShockMiddlewareHelper.cs
The API defines bypass types, reads the X-OpenShock-Bypass-Token header, validates configured tokens, stores matched bypass types, and runs the middleware before rate limiting.
Rate-limit bypass integration
Common/OpenShockServiceHelper.cs
Rate-limit selectors return unlimited partitions for requests marked with the RateLimit bypass type across global, authentication, token-reporting, and shocker-log policies.
Privileged-account Turnstile protection
API/Services/Account/IAccountService.cs, API/Services/Account/AccountService.cs, API/Services/Turnstile/CloudflareTurnstileService.cs, API/Controller/Account/LoginV2.cs, API/Controller/Account/PasswordResetInitiateV2.cs, API/Controller/Tokens/ReportTokens.cs
The account service identifies Admin emails. Turnstile accepts marked bypass requests. The affected endpoints apply Admin-account restrictions for bypassed requests.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to b5768

Managed bypass tokens currently allow System accounts to bypass protections intended for privileged accounts and let arbitrary invalid headers generate repeated configuration work and warning logs, creating security and availability risks. The PR is not merge-ready until these issues are addressed.

PasswordResetInitiateV2 had no privileged-account guard, so the turnstile
bypass could send admin reset mail with no captcha and no rate limit. The
lookup runs only on the bypass path and still returns the generic 200.

BypassTokenMiddleware now logs accepted and unmatched tokens, never the token.
// itself is never written - only which protections it disabled, and for what.
logger.LogWarning(
"Bypass token accepted for {Matched} on {Method} {Path} from {RemoteIp}",
matched, context.Request.Method, context.Request.Path, context.Connection.RemoteIpAddress);
// itself is never written - only which protections it disabled, and for what.
logger.LogWarning(
"Bypass token accepted for {Matched} on {Method} {Path} from {RemoteIp}",
matched, context.Request.Method, context.Request.Path, context.Connection.RemoteIpAddress);
// A presented-but-unmatched token is either a stale secret or someone probing for one.
logger.LogWarning(
"Bypass token presented but matched nothing on {Method} {Path} from {RemoteIp}",
context.Request.Method, context.Request.Path, context.Connection.RemoteIpAddress);
// A presented-but-unmatched token is either a stale secret or someone probing for one.

Include System accounts in bypass restrictions.

The application treats Admin and System as privileged, but every new bypass restriction checks only RoleType.Admin. A System account can therefore use Turnstile bypass during login, password-reset initiation, or token reporting.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Bound work for invalid bypass headers.

Any caller can send this header with an arbitrary value. Each attempt performs two configuration-service calls and emits a warning before UseRateLimiter runs. An attacker can therefore create unbounded configuration work and warning-log volume without possessing a bypass token.

Cache the active bypass secrets outside the request path. Sample or rate-limit unmatched-token events, while retaining a bounded audit signal.
