feat: secure admin authentication with obfuscated paths #1
Conversation
- Replace hardcoded /admin routes with dynamic /p/[id] paths - Admin URL now controlled by ADMIN_PATH environment variable - Implement signed HMAC-SHA256 authentication tokens - Add timing-safe password comparison to prevent timing attacks - Protect /api/books POST, PUT, DELETE endpoints with auth - Add defense-in-depth auth checks in getServerSideProps - Remove old admin files, no trace of "admin" in codebase - Update README and AGENTS.md with security documentation Security improvements: - Tokens cannot be forged without ADMIN_PASSWORD - Tokens expire after 24 hours - Multiple validation layers (middleware + SSR + API) - No stack traces exposed for missing env vars Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>
Add responsive home buttons that display icons on mobile and text on desktop. Dashboard has Home and Logout buttons side-by-side; login page has a "Back to Home" link below the sign-in form. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>

WalkthroughThe admin interface transitions from a client-side page to a protected server-side authenticated dashboard accessible only via a secret path. A new multi-layered authentication system is introduced, featuring password validation, signed tokens, HMAC-based cookie authentication, and middleware-level route protection. The previous direct client-side admin page is removed in favor of dedicated login, logout, and auth API endpoints with environment-driven security controls. Changes

In `@AGENTS.md`:
- Around line 112-131: Update the Admin Security section to include the missing
implementation details: document the token-based authentication using
HMAC-SHA256 signed tokens with 24-hour expiry, mention the middleware
enforcement via middleware.ts that protects /p/* and API routes, describe use of
crypto.timingSafeEqual for timing-safe comparisons during password/token
validation, and state the defense-in-depth approach (middleware +
getServerSideProps validation + API route checks) so readers can understand the
full security model and where to find the relevant implementations
(middleware.ts, getServerSideProps in pages/p/[id]/, and API handlers in
pages/api/p/[id]/).
- Around line 90-92: Add documentation for the required AUTH_SECRET environment
variable alongside the existing ADMIN_PATH and ADMIN_PASSWORD entries: state
that AUTH_SECRET is required (no default) and used as the HMAC-SHA256 signing
secret for tokens, include a short usage note (e.g., format/length guidance or
how to generate/store securely), and mirror the style of the existing lines
(bullet entry like `- AUTH_SECRET: ...`) so it appears with ADMIN_PATH and
ADMIN_PASSWORD in AGENTS.md.
In `@lib/auth.ts`:
- Around line 46-50: The token age check in lib/auth.ts only rejects overly old
tokens but allows future timestamps (negative tokenAge); update the validation
around tokenAge (computed from timestamp via parseInt) to also reject tokenAge <
0 (return false) and ensure isNaN(tokenAge) is still handled—i.e., after
computing tokenAge, add a check like if (isNaN(tokenAge) || tokenAge < 0 ||
tokenAge > COOKIE_MAX_AGE * 1000) return false so tokens with future timestamps
are rejected.
In `@middleware.ts`:
- Around line 61-65: The middleware currently logs and calls NextResponse.next()
when adminPath or adminPassword are missing, which allows requests to proceed;
change this to fail closed by returning an explicit 500 response (or redirect to
a safe page) instead of NextResponse.next(). Locate the check using adminPath
and adminPassword and replace the NextResponse.next() branch with a
NextResponse.error() or a NextResponse.redirect(...) that provides a clear error
response so admin routes cannot be accessed when those env vars are unset.
In `@package.json`:
- Line 10: The dependency bump to "@prisma/client": "^6.19.2" requires
performing Prisma v4→v6 migration steps: update your Prisma schema to handle
implicit many-to-many changes and run a migration (e.g., run the migrate dev
flow), remove previewFeatures entries "fullTextIndex" and "fullTextSearch" and
if you use Postgres full-text search rename the flag to "fullTextSearchPostgres"
in the schema, search for and replace any code importing or catching
NotFoundError (it no longer exists), audit code that converts between
Buffer/Uint8Array for any API changes, ensure no Prisma model names use reserved
words like async/await/using, regenerate the client (prisma generate) and run
the full test suite to surface TypeScript/runtime issues.
In `@pages/api/p/`[id]/auth.ts:
- Around line 13-29: The handler currently reads id from req.query and compares
it to adminPath but req.query.id may be a string array; update the code that
extracts id (from req.query) to normalize it to a single string (e.g., if
Array.isArray(req.query.id) use the first element or join appropriately) and
handle undefined before comparing to adminPath so the comparison in the existing
conditional (id !== adminPath) behaves correctly; adjust references to id,
req.query, and adminPath accordingly to ensure proper 404 handling.
In `@pages/p/`[id]/login.tsx:
- Around line 41-42: router.query.id can be undefined on initial render causing
requests to go to /api/p/undefined/auth; update the page to ensure a stable id
before submitting by either (A) guard using router.isReady and only read
router.query.id once router.isReady is true (and disable the form/submit until
ready), or (B) extract the id server-side in getServerSideProps and pass it into
the component as a prop (use that prop instead of router.query.id in the submit
handler); locate uses of useRouter, router.query, and the form submit handler in
pages/p/[id]/login.tsx and change the id source or add the isReady check
accordingly.
🧹 Nitpick comments (5)

27-39: Consider documentinglib/auth.tsin project structure.The project structure section (lines 78-96) lists
lib/prisma.tsbut omitslib/auth.ts, which is a key file for the new authentication system. Consider updating the structure to include it for completeness.📝 Suggested documentation update
lib/ -└── prisma.ts # Prisma client +├── prisma.ts # Prisma client +└── auth.ts # Authentication utilitiespages/p/[id]/index.tsx (1)
211-230: Use Next.jsLinkcomponent for client-side navigation.Using a plain
<a>tag for internal navigation bypasses Next.js client-side routing, causing a full page reload. Use theLinkcomponent fromnext/linkfor better performance.♻️ Proposed refactor
+import Link from 'next/link'; ... - <a + <Link href="/" className="px-3 py-2 text-sm bg-blue-600 text-white rounded-md hover:bg-blue-700 transition-colors flex items-center gap-2" aria-label="Home" > ... <span className="hidden sm:inline">Home</span> - </a> + </Link>lib/auth.ts (1)
10-23: Consider using a dedicated signing secret separate from the password.Using
ADMIN_PASSWORDas the HMAC signing key means that changing the password will invalidate all existing sessions, which may be acceptable. However, a dedicatedAUTH_SECRETenvironment variable would provide better separation of concerns and allow password changes without forcing all sessions to expire.pages/api/p/[id]/logout.ts (1)
4-26: Consider adding authentication check for logout.The logout endpoint clears the auth cookie without verifying the user is authenticated first. While this is generally harmless (clearing a non-existent cookie has no effect), adding an auth check would:
- Maintain consistency with other protected endpoints
- Prevent potential logout CSRF attacks where an attacker could force-logout authenticated users
That said, this is a minor concern since the impact is limited to session termination.
♻️ Optional: Add authentication check
import type { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next'; -import { generateClearAuthCookie } from '@/lib/auth'; +import { generateClearAuthCookie, isAuthenticated } from '@/lib/auth'; export default function handler(req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) { if (req.method !== 'POST') { return res.status(405).json({ error: 'Method not allowed' }); } const { id } = req.query; const adminPath = process.env.ADMIN_PATH; if (!adminPath) { console.error('ADMIN_PATH environment variable is not set'); return res.status(500).json({ error: 'Server configuration error' }); } // Validate the path matches if (id !== adminPath) { return res.status(404).json({ error: 'Not found' }); } + // Only allow logout if authenticated (prevents logout CSRF) + if (!isAuthenticated(req.cookies)) { + return res.status(401).json({ error: 'Unauthorized' }); + } + // Clear the auth cookie res.setHeader('Set-Cookie', generateClearAuthCookie()); return res.status(200).json({ success: true, redirectTo: `/p/${adminPath}/login` }); }middleware.ts (1)
4-5: Duplicate constants fromlib/auth.ts.
AUTH_COOKIE_NAMEandCOOKIE_MAX_AGEare defined in bothlib/auth.tsand here. While Edge middleware can't import Node.js modules, these constants could be extracted to a shared module without Node.js dependencies.♻️ Extract shared constants
Create a new file

prisma/schema.prisma (2)
10-16: LGTM!The explicit
@relation("AuthorToBook")correctly names this side of the many-to-many relationship. This improves schema clarity and ensures Prisma unambiguously resolves the relation.
18-22: LGTM!The relation name
"AuthorToBook"correctly matches the corresponding relation on theBookmodel, ensuring Prisma properly resolves the bidirectional many-to-many relationship.lib/auth.ts (2)
64-77: Good implementation of timing-safe comparison with constant-time length handling.The dummy comparison when lengths differ maintains constant execution time, which is the correct approach to prevent timing attacks. The implementation correctly uses
crypto.timingSafeEqualfor the actual comparison.
94-97: LGTM! Cookie security attributes are properly configured.The cookie implementation correctly sets
HttpOnly,SameSite=Strict, and conditionally addsSecurein production. This provides good protection against XSS and CSRF attacks.pages/api/p/[id]/auth.ts (1)
31-43: LGTM! Authentication flow is well-structured.The authentication logic correctly:
- Uses timing-safe password comparison via
validatePassword- Generates signed tokens with
generateAuthToken- Sets HTTP-only cookies with proper security attributes
- Returns appropriate status codes (401 for invalid password, 404 for path mismatch)

13-18: LGTM!The authentication guard for POST requests is correctly implemented, consistent with the pattern used in
pages/api/books/[id].tsfor PUT and DELETE operations. The 401 response format matches the API response type.pages/api/books/[id].ts (2)
3-3: LGTM!Import added correctly for authentication utility.
25-36: LGTM!Authentication guards for PUT and DELETE operations are correctly implemented. The pattern is consistent with the POST protection in
pages/api/books/index.ts, providing uniform protection for all write operations.middleware.ts (2)
44-54: LGTM on timing-safe comparison.The constant-time comparison implementation correctly prevents timing attacks by:
- First checking length equality (constant-time short-circuit)
- XOR-ing all characters and OR-ing results to avoid early exit
70-89: API routes are adequately protected at the route level.API routes
/api/p/[id]/authand/api/p/[id]/logouthave proper path validation. Both routes validate that theidparameter matchesadminPathearly in the handler and return a 404 status if validation fails, making middleware-level protection unnecessary.pages/p/[id]/login.tsx (2)
7-35: LGTM!Server-side props correctly implement defense-in-depth by:
- Validating
ADMIN_PATHenvironment variable- Checking path parameter matches admin path
- Redirecting already-authenticated users to dashboard
This is consistent with the pattern in
pages/p/[id]/index.tsx.

Security documentation is incomplete.
The security section provides good coverage of path obfuscation but omits several critical security features mentioned in the PR objectives:
- Token-based authentication: HMAC-SHA256 signed tokens with 24-hour expiry
- Middleware protection:
middleware.tsenforces authentication on protected routes - Timing-safe comparisons:
crypto.timingSafeEqualprevents timing attacks on password/token validation - Defense-in-depth: Multiple validation layers (middleware + getServerSideProps + API)
These implementation details are essential for understanding the full security model.

Reject tokens with future timestamps.
The token age validation only checks if the token is too old, but doesn't reject tokens with future timestamps. A token with a timestamp in the future would have a negative tokenAge and pass the expiry check.

Security concern: Requests proceed when environment variables are missing.
When ADMIN_PATH or ADMIN_PASSWORD are not set, the middleware logs an error but allows the request through. This could expose admin routes if environment variables are accidentally unset in production.
Consider returning a 500 error or redirecting to a safe page instead of allowing the request to proceed.

In `@middleware.ts` around lines 61 - 65, The middleware currently logs and calls
NextResponse.next() when adminPath or adminPassword are missing, which allows
requests to proceed; change this to fail closed by returning an explicit 500
response (or redirect to a safe page) instead of NextResponse.next(). Locate the
check using adminPath and adminPassword and replace the NextResponse.next()
branch with a NextResponse.error() or a NextResponse.redirect(...) that provides
a clear error response so admin routes cannot be accessed when those env vars
are unset.

Prisma 6 breaking changes migration guide from Prisma 4
💡 Result:
Short migration checklist (Prisma 4 → Prisma 6)
- Update packages
- npm install
@prisma/client@6 && npm install -D prisma@6. [1]
- Check runtime / toolchain minimums
- Prisma 6 raises minimum Node.js and TypeScript versions — confirm your versions and upgrade if needed. [1]
- Handle DB/schema changes
- Implicit many-to-many (m-n) relation tables on PostgreSQL are altered in v6. After upgrading, create a dedicated migration immediately: npx prisma migrate dev --name upgrade-to-v6. (Recommended: run npx prisma db pull first if your DB has schema elements not yet in schema.prisma.) [1]
- Preview features / feature-flag changes
- fullTextIndex and fullTextSearch are GA; remove them from previewFeatures. If using PostgreSQL full-text search, rename the flag to fullTextSearchPostgres. [1]
- Client/typing/runtime API changes to check
- Buffer/Uint8Array conversions changed — inspect any code that relies on Buffer or Uint8Array round-trips. [1]
- NotFoundError was removed — update code that imports/handles it. [1]
- New reserved keywords for model names: async, await, using — rename any models using those identifiers. [1]
- Run tests and TypeScript compile
- Regenerate client (npx prisma generate), run your test suite, fix any TypeScript / runtime errors. Review Prisma schema validation (npx prisma validate). [1][2]
- Read full upgrade notes
- Review the official Prisma 6 upgrade guide and changelog for full details and any additional breaking changes that may affect your app. [1][2]

Verify Prisma 4→6 migration requirements and address breaking changes.
This major version upgrade (Prisma 4.x → 6.x) requires specific migration steps. Before deploying, ensure:
- Database schema compatibility: implicit many-to-many relations on PostgreSQL are altered in v6; run
npx prisma migrate dev --name upgrade-to-v6after upgrading - Preview features: remove
fullTextIndexandfullTextSearchfrompreviewFeatures(both are now GA); if using PostgreSQL full-text search, rename the flag tofullTextSearchPostgres - API changes:
NotFoundErrorwas removed—update any imports or error handling that reference it; verifyBuffer/Uint8Arrayconversions are compatible - Reserved keywords: model names cannot use
async,await, orusingin Prisma 6 - Regenerate client (
npx prisma generate) and run full test suite to catch any TypeScript or runtime errors

In `@package.json` at line 10, The dependency bump to "@prisma/client": "^6.19.2"
requires performing Prisma v4→v6 migration steps: update your Prisma schema to
handle implicit many-to-many changes and run a migration (e.g., run the migrate
dev flow), remove previewFeatures entries "fullTextIndex" and "fullTextSearch"
and if you use Postgres full-text search rename the flag to
"fullTextSearchPostgres" in the schema, search for and replace any code
importing or catching NotFoundError (it no longer exists), audit code that
converts between Buffer/Uint8Array for any API changes, ensure no Prisma model
names use reserved words like async/await/using, regenerate the client (prisma
generate) and run the full test suite to surface TypeScript/runtime issues.

Handle id query parameter as potential array.
The id parameter from req.query is typed as string | string[] | undefined. If the URL structure allows nested paths, id could be an array, causing the comparison id !== adminPath to behave unexpectedly.
🛠️ Proposed fix
- const { id } = req.query;
+ const id = Array.isArray(req.query.id) ? req.query.id[0] : req.query.id;
const adminPath = process.env.ADMIN_PATH;
if (!adminPath) {🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In `@pages/api/p/`[id]/auth.ts around lines 13 - 29, The handler currently reads
id from req.query and compares it to adminPath but req.query.id may be a string
array; update the code that extracts id (from req.query) to normalize it to a
single string (e.g., if Array.isArray(req.query.id) use the first element or
join appropriately) and handle undefined before comparing to adminPath so the
comparison in the existing conditional (id !== adminPath) behaves correctly;
adjust references to id, req.query, and adminPath accordingly to ensure proper
404 handling.

router.query.id may be undefined on initial client render.
During hydration, router.query can be empty until the router is ready. If the form is submitted before the router is ready, the API call would go to /api/p/undefined/auth.
Consider using router.isReady guard or extracting id from getServerSideProps and passing it as a prop.
🐛 Proposed fix: Pass id as prop

const { id } = context.params as { id: string };

In `@pages/p/`[id]/login.tsx around lines 41 - 42, router.query.id can be
undefined on initial render causing requests to go to /api/p/undefined/auth;
update the page to ensure a stable id before submitting by either (A) guard
using router.isReady and only read router.query.id once router.isReady is true
(and disable the form/submit until ready), or (B) extract the id server-side in
getServerSideProps and pass it into the component as a prop (use that prop
instead of router.query.id in the submit handler); locate uses of useRouter,
router.query, and the form submit handler in pages/p/[id]/login.tsx and change
the id source or add the isReady check accordingly.
