Summary
The AuthKit Remix Library renders sensitive auth data in HTML
Details

Summary

Before 0.15.0, @workos-inc/authkit-remix returned sensitive authentication artifacts from the authkitLoader, specifically sealedSession and accessToken. Because these values were returned from the loader, they were embedded into the server-rendered HTML and became readable by any script with access to the page’s DOM (e.g., in the presence of XSS or a malicious browser extension).

  • Impact: Exposure of these secrets can lead to session hijacking and unauthorized API access.
  • Fix: Version 0.15.0 changes the default behavior so the loader no longer returns sealedSession/accessToken. A secure server-side mechanism is provided to fetch an access token when needed.

Patches

Patched in v0.15.0.
