refactor(workflow): standardize API token handling in workflow definitions #2869
Conversation
…tions
- Update token usage to utilize {query.token} instead of {metadata.token}
- Remove unnecessary query parameters from API URLs
- Adjust formatting for improved readability
(Your variable naming is so inconsistent, it makes a toddler's drawing look like a blueprint)

WalkthroughThe pull request introduces cosmetic changes to several workflow definition files in the workflows service. Modifications primarily involve the formatting of transformation mappings for API plugins, enhancing readability by adjusting indentation. Additionally, token parameters have been removed from API URLs and headers, standardizing token handling by switching from Changes

46-48: Consider adding token validation middlewareWhile the token handling has been standardized, consider implementing validation middleware to ensure token integrity before processing API requests.
Suggested approach:
- Add a token validation middleware that checks token format and expiration
- Consider implementing rate limiting for these endpoints
- Add logging for failed authentication attempts

- Add token refresh mechanism for long-running workflows

Line range hint 68-77: Review data sensitivity in workflow sync
The sync operation includes sensitive user and business data. Ensure proper data sanitization and logging practices are in place.
Let's check for sensitive data handling patterns:
✅ Verification successful
Based on the search results, I can generate the final response as we have sufficient information about data handling practices in the codebase.
Sync operation data handling appears secure
The sync operation in the workflow definition follows secure practices:
- Data is transmitted over HTTPS (using apiUrl configuration)
- Authentication is properly enforced via Bearer token
- The state list is explicitly defined rather than sending all data
- No sensitive data logging patterns were found in the sync-related code

46-48: Consistent token handling implementation across API plugins
The standardization of token handling by removing URL query parameters and using {query.token} in Authorization headers improves code consistency. However, we should verify the impact of this change.
Let's check for any remaining inconsistent token usage patterns:
Also applies to: 68-77, 97-100, 120-123
✅ Verification successful
Let me gather more context about the specific workflow definition file to understand if this is a breaking change.
Let me check other workflow definitions to verify if this token standardization is consistent across all workflow definitions.
Token standardization is correctly implemented and isolated to UI definitions
The changes to use {query.token} in Authorization headers are correctly implemented and do not create breaking changes because:
- The token standardization is specifically for UI-related workflow definitions (under
ui-definition/directory) - Other workflow definitions (like
kyb-kyc-workflow-definition.ts) use different token sources (e.g.,{secret.UNIFIED_API_TOKEN},{secret.EMAIL_API_TOKEN}) for their specific purposes - All UI-definition files consistently use
{query.token}, showing this is an intentional pattern for user-facing flows

Line range hint 80-89: LGTM! Consistent token handling implementation.
The changes maintain consistency with the standardized token handling approach across the workflow definition.
109-112: Verify finish state API call coordination.
Both finish_workflow and send_collection_flow_finished plugins are triggered in the 'finish' state. While the token handling changes look good, please verify:
- The order of execution is deterministic
- The second API call handles potential failures of the first call
Let's check the plugin execution order handling:
Also applies to: 132-135
✅ Verification successful
Let me try a different search pattern to find the plugin configuration:
API plugins in 'finish' state are executed sequentially and safely
The plugins are defined in a deterministic order in the configuration:
- First API call updates the collection flow data (
/api/v1/collection-flow) - Second API call sends the completion event (
/api/v1/collection-flow/send-event)
The workflow engine executes plugins in the order they are defined, and each plugin's execution is independent. If the first API call fails, the second one won't execute, maintaining data consistency.

Since this is a final state operation, ensure proper token cleanup after workflow completion.
Check for cleanup handling:
✅ Verification successful
Let me search for token cleanup related code to verify the handling.
Let me try searching for cleanup patterns in the API plugins and collection flow related code.
Let me check the collection flow API implementation to understand the token handling.
Based on the review of the codebase and the context:
Token cleanup appears to be handled by the collection flow service
The token is passed in the Authorization header and handled by the collection flow service. Since the token is scoped to the API request and managed by the service layer, no explicit cleanup is required in the workflow definition.
- The token is properly passed via Authorization header:
headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer {query.token}' } - The workflow reaches a final state after the finish operation:
finish: { type: 'final' } - Token lifecycle is managed by the collection flow service

💡 Codebase verification
Security review: Token handling needs additional changes
The verification revealed inconsistent token handling across the codebase:
- Several files still use URL-based token authentication:
packages/workflow-core/src/lib/plugins/external-plugin/vendor-consts.tshas multiple instances usingmetadata.tokenin URLsservices/workflows-service/src/workflow/workflow.controller.external.tsuses token in URL- Frontend apps (kyb-app, backoffice-v2) use URL-based token authentication
While the reviewed file correctly implements Bearer token authentication in headers, there are other parts of the system that need similar security improvements to maintain consistency and follow best practices.
🔗 Analysis chain
LGTM! Security improvement in token handling.
Moving the token from URL parameters to the Authorization header is a security improvement, as tokens in URLs can be logged in server logs or browser history.
Let's verify no other instances of URL-based token authentication remain:
