c5fa25640623eef3aa9c8f1caaf4be18bab98a77 max Tue Sep 15 05:45:03 2026 -0700 hgLogin: fixes from the code review of the social sign-in work Read the provider label before clearPendingIdentity, not after. cartUsualString hands back the cart's own string and cartRemove frees it, so the confirmation page was naming the provider from memory that had just been released. hgLogin installs pushCarefulMemHandler, which keeps the bytes readable, which is why it looked fine. Let someone who mistyped their address at the choose-a-username page correct it. The confirmation never arrives, and until now there was no way out at all: no password to sign in with, no activated account for the email link, no login cookie for the change-email page, and the user name and provider identity both already taken. The confirmation page now offers a box to replace the address, authorized by the same signed pending identity the account chooser uses, so only a real provider round trip in this browser can get to it. Signing in again while an account waits to be confirmed reuses the token that is still outstanding instead of minting a new one. A new token silently voids the link in the message before it, so a user who clicked the button twice and opened the first mail was told the link was invalid. Promise the account page only where it exists: the change-email flow is behind login.emailLink, which is off by default, and since the address box went away a user there would have had no way to change an address we told them they could change. Clear the confirmation page's explanation variables in the plain signup path too. The hand-off to that page is a JavaScript redirect, so a user who never lands on it leaves them in the cart, and the next plain signup rendered somebody else's explanation over an unrelated address. diff --git src/hg/hgLogin/hgLogin.c src/hg/hgLogin/hgLogin.c index d33f49ce175..a51106c0598 100644 --- src/hg/hgLogin/hgLogin.c +++ src/hg/hgLogin/hgLogin.c @@ -71,30 +71,31 @@ #define delayFraction 1.0 /* standard penalty is 1.0 for most CGIs */ /* Forward declarations for functions used before their definitions. */ static void printSocialButtons(boolean dividerAbove, boolean dividerBelow, char *action); static void printEmailLinkButton(); static boolean emailLinkEnabled(); static boolean recovEmailChangeEnabled(); void changeRecovEmailPage(struct sqlConnection *conn); static void printUsernameNote(); void emailLinkPage(struct sqlConnection *conn); void displayLoginPage(struct sqlConnection *conn); void displayAccHelpPage(struct sqlConnection *conn); void completeAccountPage(struct sqlConnection *conn); void sendEmailLink(struct sqlConnection *conn); static void loginAndReturn(struct sqlConnection *conn, char *userName, uint idx); +static boolean pendingIdentityValid(); /* ---- Global helper functions ---- */ char *browserName() /* Return the browser name like 'UCSC Genome Browser' */ { if isEmpty(cfgOption(CFG_LOGIN_BROWSER_NAME)) return cloneString("NULL_browserName"); else return cloneString(cfgOption(CFG_LOGIN_BROWSER_NAME)); } char *browserAddr() /* Return the browser address like 'http://genome.ucsc.edu' */ { if isEmpty(cfgOption(CFG_LOGIN_BROWSER_ADDR)) @@ -417,30 +418,46 @@ { char *encProvider = htmlEncode(provider); char *encAddress = htmlEncode(address); if (isEmpty(existingUser)) hPrintf("
