[ENHANCEMENT] Strengthen OAuth Test Suite with Pytest & Security Coverage test_oauth.py #648

@tulu-g559

Description

@tulu-g559

⚙️ Current Behavior

The existing test_oauth.py script relies on print statements and manual execution.
It validates only the happy path and depends on .env configuration.

Current limitations:

  • No pytest integration (not CI-friendly)
  • No negative test cases
  • No replay attack/state reuse testing
  • No entropy validation for OAuth state
  • No database isolation (depends on local environment)

🚀 Proposed Improvement

Refactor the test script into a proper pytest-based test suite with:

  • Assertion-based validation instead of prints
  • Mocked environment variables using monkeypatch
  • In-memory SQLite database for isolation
  • OAuth state entropy + uniqueness checks
  • Replay attack protection test (state reuse prevention)
  • Negative test cases (missing env, invalid state, etc.)

🔍 Why It’s Needed

OAuth is a security boundary.
Testing only the success path is insufficient for authentication flows.

This improvement:

  • Makes tests CI-compatible
  • Prevents silent misconfigurations
  • Detects CSRF/state replay vulnerabilities
  • Improves reliability and maintainability
  • Removes dependency on local .env

🧩 Possible Implementation

Example structure using pytest:

def test_state_reuse_protection():
    state = generate_state()
    store_oauth_state(state, "google")

    assert verify_oauth_state(state) == "google"
    assert verify_oauth_state(state) is None  # replay blocked
