Pull request overview
This PR hardens ThunderID’s self-service credential update flow by requiring proof-of-knowledge (current password) before allowing credential writes on /users/me/update-credentials, preventing long-lived account takeover from temporary access token compromise.
Changes:
- Added
UpdateSelfUserCredentialsservice method that verifies the user’s current password (when one exists) before delegating to the existing credential update path. - Updated the self-service credential update handler to accept a new request schema (
UpdateSelfCredentialsRequest) withcurrentPasswordalongsideattributes, and to map invalid-current-password to403(USR-1029). - Updated OpenAPI, i18n defaults, and added/updated unit + integration tests and mocks to cover the new behavior.

Purpose
POST /users/me/update-credentialswrote a new password on the strength of the access token alone. Anyone holding a stolen or leaked token for an account could set a password on it, and that password keeps working long after the token expires, so temporary token possession turns into permanent account access. The user now has to prove they know the current password before the write goes through.The endpoint also accepted any schema-declared credential, not just the password. That is narrowed here too, so proving your password cannot be used to write a different credential type.
🔧 Summary of Breaking Changes
Two changes to
POST /users/me/update-credentials:currentPasswordfield is now required when the account already has a password stored. Requests that omit it, or supply the wrong value, are rejected with403and codeUSR-1029.passwordmay be written. Any other credential type inattributesis rejected with400and codeUSR-1024.The request body schema changed from
UpdateSelfUserRequestto a dedicatedUpdateSelfCredentialsRequest, which carriescurrentPasswordas a sibling ofattributes.💥 Impact
Existing clients calling this endpoint without
currentPasswordwill start receiving403for accounts that have a password. The endpoint has existed since the user self service API was introduced, so this affects any integration already built against it. Both bundled sample apps were affected and are updated in this PR.Clients writing a credential type other than
passwordthrough this endpoint will start receiving400. Use the admin credential update endpoint for those.The admin reset path
POST /users/{userId}/update-credentialsis unchanged. It still needs no current password and still accepts any schema-declared credential, since an admin cannot know the target user's password.🔄 Migration Guide
Add the user's existing password to the request body:
{ "currentPassword": "0ldP@ssword!", "attributes": { "password": "n3wP@ssword!" } }Clients should surface a
403carryingUSR-1029against the current password field rather than as a generic failure, since it means only that the supplied password was wrong.Approach
Backend
backend/internal/user/service.go-UpdateSelfUserCredentialsreads the stored password credential first, then requires and verifiescurrentPasswordbefore delegating toUpdateUserCredentials. Verification reusesAuthenticateEntityByIDinstead of adding a second password comparison path, so there stays exactly one place in the codebase where a password is checked against storage.UpdateUserCredentials(the admin path) rather than adding a flag to it. The two have different trust models, and a boolean parameter deciding whether to verify is the kind of thing that eventually gets passed wrong.validateSelfCredentialPayloadrejects any credential key other thanpassword.backend/internal/user/model.go- addsUpdateSelfCredentialsRequest, withCurrentPasswordas a sibling ofAttributesrather than a member of it. The entity layer only accepts schema-declared credential keys insideattributes, so a current password nested there would be rejected as an unknown credential.backend/internal/user/constants.go- namesCredentialTypePassword, since password now acts as the account level proof of ownership and not just one more credential type.backend/internal/user/error_constants.goandbackend/internal/user/handler.go- addErrorInvalidCurrentPassword(USR-1029), mapped to403.403rather than401because the caller is authenticated and it is this specific action that is refused; a401would tell the client its session is invalid and should be re-established, which is not the case.USR-1024for the rejected credential type maps to400.backend/internal/system/i18n/core/defaults.go- regenerated withmake generate_i18nfor the two new message keys, not hand edited.Sample apps
Both bundled samples called this endpoint without a current password and broke against the new contract. Those are addressed here,
samples/apps/wayfinder-sample/frontend/src/api/userApi.jsandsrc/pages/ProfilePage.jsx-updateMyCredentialstakes a current password and sends it when present, so a first-time set still works. The profile form gains a "Current password" field, wired into validation and the submit gate.samples/apps/vanilla-sample/src/services/userProfileService.tsandsrc/views/ProfilePage.tsx- the same change. The Next.js route atsrc/app/api/profile/password/route.tsproxies the body as-is and needed nothing.This PR is related to [Design Discussion] Require current credential verification on self-service credential update
