Why

The JIT avatar sync in syncDosProfileAndOrgs only downloaded the IdP avatar when the user had NO avatar yet (if (!user?.avatarImageId)). Once an avatar existed, upstream avatar changes in DOS Me never propagated through login - the first avatar seen was frozen forever. The user.updated webhook path already refreshed unconditionally, so the two sync paths disagreed.

Found while auditing the profile page (user report: avatar not synced). Current prod data: DOS Me emits no avatar URLs at all today, so this is a latent bug with zero present-day impact - fixing before it bites.

What

  • Dropped the skip-if-exists guard: when the IdP provides an avatar URL it is the source of truth (same policy as the name sync, which already updates unconditionally on every login) and replaces the stored avatar.
  • Policy notes (in code comment): syncUserAvatarFromUrl already swaps the image and deletes the old row, is SSRF-guarded against attacker-influenceable claim URLs, and fails soft (returns null, logs) so logins never break on avatar errors. With no IdP URL, locally-uploaded avatars are left untouched.

Verification

  • biome: clean; @documenso/lib: 431/431 tests pass; CI Build App is the typecheck gate
  • Reviewer gate per repo process

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Profile Updates
    • When your identity provider supplies a profile photo, it is now refreshed on every login. This keeps the photo in your app profile aligned with the one provided by your identity provider, even if a different photo was already set. If no photo is supplied during login, this change does not affect your profile photo.

The JIT avatar sync skipped users who already had an avatar
(!user.avatarImageId), so an avatar changed upstream in DOS Me never
propagated to Sign through login - the first avatar seen was frozen
forever. The user.updated webhook path already refreshed
unconditionally, making the two paths inconsistent.

Drop the guard: when the IdP provides an avatar URL, it is the source
of truth and replaces the stored avatar on each login (the sync helper
already swaps the image and deletes the old row, is SSRF-guarded, and
fails soft so logins never break on avatar errors). With no IdP URL,
locally-uploaded avatars are left untouched.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

When the IdP provides an avatar URL, profile synchronization now calls syncUserAvatarFromUrl on every login. This replaces the check that skipped synchronization when the user already had an avatar.

Changes

IdP Avatar Synchronization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Refresh avatar from IdP
packages/lib/server-only/dos-id/sync-dos-profile.ts
When an avatar URL is present, the function now calls syncUserAvatarFromUrl without checking whether the user already has an avatar. The comment states that the IdP avatar is refreshed on every login.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4f36d

Avatar refresh can now cause server requests to redirected private addresses and consume excessive memory from oversized avatar responses. Add redirect and response-size limits before merging.

Code Review

This pull request updates the avatar synchronization logic to always sync the user's avatar from the Identity Provider (IdP) URL on every login, ensuring upstream changes propagate. Feedback suggests running syncUserAvatarFromUrl asynchronously without await to prevent blocking the login flow with external network requests and CPU-intensive image optimization.

if (!user?.avatarImageId) {
await syncUserAvatarFromUrl(userId, avatarUrl);
}
await syncUserAvatarFromUrl(userId, avatarUrl);

Awaiting syncUserAvatarFromUrl on every login introduces a potential performance bottleneck and reliability risk. The function performs an external network request (with a 5-second timeout) and a CPU-intensive image optimization step (optimiseAvatar) on every single login, even if the avatar hasn't changed.\n\nSince the avatar is non-critical for the login flow to succeed, consider running this asynchronously without blocking the login response. Since syncUserAvatarFromUrl already has internal error handling, it is safe to trigger without await.

    void syncUserAvatarFromUrl(userId, avatarUrl);

SSRF

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-918 — Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

Reject redirects before downloading avatar URLs.

assertNotPrivateUrl checks only the original URL. The subsequent fetch follows redirects because it does not set a redirect policy. A public avatar URL can therefore redirect the server request to a private address.

Reject avatar URL redirects
     const response = await fetch(avatarUrl, {
       signal: AbortSignal.timeout(5000),
+      redirect: 'error',
     });

Denial of Service

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-400 — Uncontrolled Resource Consumption

Limit avatar response size while streaming. syncUserAvatarFromUrl buffers the full response with response.arrayBuffer() before optimization. The five-second timeout limits duration, not response size. Read the body incrementally and cancel once it exceeds a maximum avatar size, before optimizing it.
