Problem

  1. JWKS amplification. AdminSSO._key_for refetched Authentik's JWKS whenever a token's kid was unknown, with no rate limit. admin_gate validates any three-part bearer before any other check. Result: every unauthenticated /admin/* request carrying a made-up kid cost one outbound fetch to Authentik. AuthentikVerifier already has a 10 s limiter for this case; AdminSSO did not.
  2. Unbounded pending logins. Each unauthenticated /admin/login/start call stores a pending row that lives for the 10-minute login TTL, and nothing swept or capped on insert. A request loop could grow memory, or the SQLite state file, without bound.

Change

  • AdminSSO._key_for uses the same 10 s minimum refresh interval as AuthentikVerifier.
  • put_pending, in both the in-memory and SQLite stores, now sweeps expired rows and caps the table at MAX_PENDING (10,000).
  • When the cap is reached, the soonest-expiring rows are evicted. The newest login always survives.

Tests

  • A regression test sends 20 forged-kid requests and asserts 1 JWKS fetch.
  • Store tests check the cap and the sweep on both backends.
  • The new tests fail on main.
  • Full suite: 324 passed. Ruff is clean.
  • Run locally on Python 3.13.

AdminSSO._key_for refetched JWKS whenever a token's kid was unknown,
with no rate limit, and admin_gate validates any bearer before any other
check — so each request carrying a made-up kid cost one outbound fetch
to Authentik. It now uses the same 10 s minimum refresh interval as
AuthentikVerifier.

/admin/login/start stored a pending row per call and nothing swept on
insert, so a request loop grew memory or the state file for the whole
login TTL. put_pending now sweeps expired rows and caps the table at
MAX_PENDING, evicting the soonest-expiring.

validate failed at scripts/check-public-history.py, not in this PR's code. That script scans every fetched branch, and it flagged a private-IP literal in tests/test_loopback_host.py on #24's branch.

The fix is at the source: #24's single commit was amended to use 203.0.113.7 (a documentation address) and force-pushed, and the history scan now reports 0 findings. Failed jobs re-run once.
