  • Idle-timeout auto-logout after 30 minutes of inactivity (finding Trails  #4). Reuses the existing logout handler, so an idle session behaves like clicking Sign Out.
  • Mirrors the server password policy in the member and change-password forms (finding Minor fixes #6), replacing a client check that allowed 7 characters while the message said 8.

Both fixes existed on older branches but were never merged, so they were missing from the deployed build.

  • src/hooks/useIdleLogout.ts
  • src/utils/__tests__/passwordPolicy.test.ts
📝 Summary

Summary

  • Added useIdleLogout to log out authenticated users after 30 minutes of inactivity.
  • Reused the existing logout flow for refresh-token removal, local token clearing, and page reload.
  • Added fallback access-token clearing and page reload if logout fails.
  • Added shared client-side password validation for member creation and password changes.
  • Enforced minimum length, uppercase, lowercase, number, and special-character rules.

Risk: risk:medium

Security-sensitive areas:

  • Authentication session expiry and token cleanup.
  • Password policy enforcement in member and password-change forms.
  • Server and client validation consistency.

Test coverage impact:

  • 64 tests pass.
  • yarn build succeeds.
  • Runtime idle-logout and password-rule verification were reported.

Operational concerns:

  • Idle logout depends on browser activity events and a 30-second polling interval.
  • Confirm that the existing logout handler removes refresh tokens server-side.
  • No migration is required.
  • Rollback requires reverting the hook integration and shared password validation changes.

Walkthrough

Changes

Idle logout

Layer / File(s) Summary
Idle logout hook and application wiring
src/hooks/useIdleLogout.ts, src/App.tsx
useIdleLogout tracks activity, checks the idle timeout, calls the logout handler, and provides a local-storage reload fallback. App enables the hook for logged-in users.

Password policy validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared password validation and modal integration
src/utils/passwordPolicy.ts, src/components/Settings/AddMemberModal.tsx, src/components/Settings/ChangePasswordModal.tsx
validatePassword checks length, case, digit, and special-character rules. Both settings modals use the shared validator.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 20dc4

Users can be logged out immediately after signing in or while actively working in another tab. The idle-session lifecycle should be corrected before merge.

Inline comments:
In `@src/hooks/useIdleLogout.ts`:
- Around line 27-28: Update the fallback after authConfig.logOutHandler rejects
so the refresh-token session is invalidated or refresh is made to fail closed
before reloading, rather than clearing only access_token. Add a failed-logout
reload test covering that the session cannot be restored through the HttpOnly
refresh cookie.
- Line 15: Update the enabled-state effect in useIdleLogout so that, after the
!enabled guard, it resets lastActivity.current to Date.now() whenever idle
logout becomes enabled. Preserve the existing disabled guard and interval
behavior.
- Around line 12-25: Update useIdleLogout so activity timestamps are shared
across tabs, using cross-tab storage or messaging when markActivity runs and
reading the latest shared timestamp before enforcing timeoutMs. Ensure an
inactive tab does not call authConfig.logOutHandler while another tab has
reported recent activity, while preserving the existing listener cleanup and
logout flow.

In `@src/utils/passwordPolicy.ts`:
- Around line 4-13: The current change lacks focused coverage for
validatePassword and the form guards. Add tests covering undefined and empty
inputs, the 7/8-character boundary, each missing character requirement, a valid
password, and the exact validation error order; also verify invalid passwords do
not invoke apiClient.createMember or apiClient.changePassword.

Broken Authentication (CWE-613): Insufficient Session Expiration

Reachability: External · Exploitability: Difficult

Complete server-side invalidation on the fallback path.

When authConfig.logOutHandler() rejects, this path clears only access_token and reloads. The initial protected request after reload receives 401, and the interceptor restores the session through the HttpOnly refresh-token cookie. Invalidate the refresh session or make refresh fail closed. Add a failed-logout reload test.

Add focused tests for validatePassword and the form guards. Cover undefined, empty input, the 7/8-character boundary, each missing character rule, a valid password, and the exact error order. Also verify that invalid passwords do not call apiClient.createMember or apiClient.changePassword.

Activity events only fire in the focused tab, so a background tab could log
out a user working in another one. Track the last activity in localStorage and
take the most recent across tabs.

Also reset the timestamp when idle logout becomes enabled, otherwise a login
page left open longer than the timeout logged the user straight back out, and
retry the server logout once before falling back, since only that call can
invalidate the HttpOnly refresh cookie.

Adds tests for validatePassword.
