## Summary
Closes a **confidential-client authentication bypass** in the OAuth
`authorization_code` grant.
`OAuthService.exchangeAuthorizationCode` only validated `client_secret`
**when one was supplied** (`if (clientSecret)`), and the fallback check
at the end (`if (!clientSecret && !storedCodeChallenge)`) treats a valid
PKCE `code_verifier` as sufficient to complete the exchange. As a
result, a **confidential client** — one registered with a
`client_secret` (`oAuthClientSecretHash` set) — could have its
authorization codes redeemed using PKCE alone, with **no client
authentication**.
PKCE is defense-in-depth for public clients; it is not a substitute for
authenticating a confidential client (RFC 6749 §4.1.3, OAuth 2.1
§4.1.3). The `refresh_token` grant already enforces this exact rule —
this PR mirrors that gate in the `authorization_code` grant so any
client issued a secret must always present it.
## The fix
```ts
// Confidential clients (those issued a secret) must always authenticate,
// even when PKCE is used.
if (applicationRegistration.oAuthClientSecretHash && !clientSecret) {
return this.errorResponse(
'invalid_client',
'Client authentication required for confidential clients',
);
}
```
The check runs immediately after client resolution and before the
authorization code is even looked up. Public (PKCE-only) clients — those
without a stored secret hash — are unaffected.
## Testing
Added `oauth.service.spec.ts` covering:
- **Regression:** a confidential client presenting only PKCE and no
`client_secret` is rejected with `invalid_client` before any code
lookup.
- A wrong `client_secret` for a confidential client is still rejected.
- A public (PKCE) client is **not** blocked by the new gate and proceeds
to the code lookup.
Verified the regression test fails without the fix and passes with it.
Existing `application-oauth` suites remain green (8/8). Lint (`oxlint
--type-aware`, `oxfmt`) clean; the touched files typecheck.

Installation
Cloud
The fastest way to get started. Sign up at twenty.com and spin up a workspace in under a minute, with no infrastructure to manage and always up to date.
Build an app
Scaffold a new app with the Twenty CLI:
npx create-twenty-app my-app
Define objects, fields, and views as code:
import { defineObject, FieldType } from 'twenty-sdk/define';
export default defineObject({
nameSingular: 'deal',
namePlural: 'deals',
labelSingular: 'Deal',
labelPlural: 'Deals',
fields: [
{ name: 'name', label: 'Name', type: FieldType.TEXT },
{ name: 'amount', label: 'Amount', type: FieldType.CURRENCY },
{ name: 'closeDate', label: 'Close Date', type: FieldType.DATE_TIME },
],
});
Then ship it to your workspace:
npx twenty app:publish --private
See the app development guide for objects, views, agents, and logic functions.
Self-hosting
Run Twenty on your own infrastructure with Docker Compose, or contribute locally via the local setup guide.
Everything you need
Twenty gives you the building blocks of a modern CRM (objects, views, workflows, and agents) and lets you extend them as code. Here's a tour of what's in the box.
