In this tutorial, you'll learn about Auth0 Security Breach Response. We cover key concepts, practical examples, and best practices to help you understand and apply this topic effectively.
Auth0 provides tools for responding to security incidents including bulk user actions, token revocation, and credential rotation.
// Incident response: force password reset for affected users
async function forcePasswordReset(userIds) {
for (const userId of userIds) {
await auth0.users.update(
{ id: userId },
{
password: crypto.randomBytes(32).toString('hex'),
app_metadata: { force_password_reset: true, breach_flagged_at: new Date().toISOString() }
}
);
}
}
// Revoke all user tokens
async function revokeUserSessions(userId) {
await auth0.users.invalidateSessions({ id: userId });
}
// Rotate compromised client secret
async function rotateClientSecret(clientId) {
const client = await auth0.clients.rotateClientSecret({ client_id: clientId });
await secretManager.storeSecret(clientId, client.data.client_secret);
return client.data.client_secret;
}
// Block compromised client
async function blockClient(clientId) {
await auth0.clients.update({ client_id: clientId }, { is_first_party: false });
}
// Audit: query for suspicious activity
const suspiciousLogs = await auth0.logs.getAll({
q: 'type:f AND date:[now-1h TO now] AND ip_blocklisted:false',
per_page: 100
});
