better-auth `/admin/revoke-user-session` answers `{ success: true }` when its token matches zero rows — same defect class as #9714, different route and permission surface

[os-warren]

Filed unassigned by the #9714 dev (session session_01PnJHU45vPJj5UQrxe946Bx) as an out_of_scope_findings item. Not fixed there, not reached for — #9714's scope was the self-service /revoke-session route only, and this route has a different permission gate and a different answer key, so it is its own card rather than a rider.

The defect

Read from the installed vendor dist on 2026-08-19: better-auth 1.7.1 (dist/plugins/admin/routes.mjs), the POST /admin/revoke-user-session handler runs, after its session: ["revoke"] permission check:

await ctx.context.internalAdapter.deleteSession(ctx.body.sessionToken);
return ctx.json({ success: true });

There is no match check at all — deleteSession on a token matching zero rows deletes nothing, and the endpoint answers 200 { success: true } unconditionally. That is the same "security control no-ops while reporting success" class #9714 measured on /revoke-session, on the surface where a false success matters most: an administrator revoking someone else's session and being told it worked.

Note the shape difference from #9714's route: /revoke-session at least skips on an ownership mismatch (and so has a well-defined admission predicate to enforce); this admin route performs the delete blindly, so the guard's predicate here is simply "does any session carry this token" (no ownership dimension — the caller is an admin acting on arbitrary users).

Establishment level, stated honestly: the behaviour above is read from the installed dist, not measured end-to-end through this repo's pipeline. #9714's guard pattern (packages/plugins/plugin-auth/src/revoke-session-match-guard.ts, a hooks.before admission gate answering 404 RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND per ADR-0112) is the natural template, but the admin route's interaction with the #7732 tombstone rules (/admin/revoke-user-session is in INTERACTIVE_REVOKE_REASON, reason admin) should be re-verified behaviourally first, exactly as #9714 required.

#9714 remains open until its own PR lands; this card is independent of that landing.

Triage: lands in plugin-auth (mounted admin route wrapper / guard, same shape as the delivered #9714→PR #10070 user-route sibling) ⇒ domain:services, pm:queue, type Bug. Rationale: vendor route answers {success:true} on zero-row match — declared success semantics violated; the in-package guard template (revoke-session-match-guard.ts, ADR-0112 404) is the named precedent. Dispatch note: read from installed dist, not e2e-measured — premise-first (re-measure on the pinned better-auth before wiring the guard), and re-verify against the #7732 tombstone rules the card names. Content-limb heads-up for the claim: turning a declared success into a refusal on the admin surface is an accept-set change — expect Clause-②: yes.

• Serial: plugin-auth/** is ONE hot surface for this lane and is free right now. ⚠️ [finding] rate-limit-storage-isolation.test.ts reads two other packages through a findUp seed, so check:cross-package-test-inputs cannot see the radius and turbo does not hash it #10029 and [finding] 29 version-stamped comment attestations in plugin-auth/src still name 1.7.0-rc.2 / 1.6.20 — the ^1.7.1 bump made them unverified claims #10073 are queued behind this card on the same surface — ⛔ no concurrency. [finding] 29 version-stamped comment attestations in plugin-auth/src still name 1.7.0-rc.2 / 1.6.20 — the ^1.7.1 bump made them unverified claims #10073 (a 29-site attestation sweep across 21 files in this package) is deliberately ordered last, so it sweeps the final state including whatever comment this card lands.

Premise surface verified on origin/main@7552e0337 (I verified what a PM can verify; the behavioural half is the dev's binding first task):

• The guard template triage names is real and landed: revoke-session-match-guard.ts + its test are on main (better-auth revoke-session answers { status: true } when it matches and deletes nothing — the server-side half of #8018, now tracked nowhere #9714 → PR fix(plugin-auth): refuse a /revoke-session that identifies no record instead of answering success #10070 merged). Its header at :110 already records that this route "has the same defect class upstream" — the cross-reference is in place, so this card is not re-deriving one.
• The route is in the ledger: auth-route-ledger.ts:300 — POST /api/v1/auth/admin/revoke-user-session (with a plural sibling at :301).
• It is in the tombstone rules: INTERACTIVE_REVOKE_REASON['/admin/revoke-user-session'] === 'admin', pinned at session-tombstone.test.ts:428.
• No guard wraps it today.

⚠️ The premise is READ, not MEASURED — and that is binding

The card is scrupulous about its own provenance: "the behaviour above is read from the installed dist, not measured end-to-end through this repo's pipeline." Triage made re-measurement binding. This lane learned in the last 24h why that matters: #9714's inherited rc-line reading turned out to understate the defect — on 1.7.1 the vendor had widened it. The direction of the surprise is not predictable, so the measurement is not optional.

premise_still_valid: false with no PR is a fully successful outcome and I am stating it up front, so the round is not spent manufacturing a fix for a defect a vendor bump may have closed.

Shape difference from #9714 — do not copy the predicate

The sibling route skips on an ownership mismatch, so it had a well-defined admission predicate to enforce. This one deletes blindly: no match check at all. So the predicate here is simply "does any session carry this token" — no ownership dimension, because the caller is an admin acting on arbitrary users. Copying #9714's predicate would wrongly narrow an admin's legitimate reach.

⚠️ Corollary the dev must reason about explicitly: with no ownership dimension, an existence-revealing refusal is a different question than it was on the self-service route. #9714 deliberately made zero-match and foreign-token answers byte-identical to avoid an existence oracle; here the caller is entitled to know whether a session exists. State the reasoning either way — ⛔ do not inherit #9714's answer without re-deciding it.

Scope

• The singular route. ⚠️ /admin/revoke-user-sessions (plural, :301) matches by user id and cannot mis-identify a single record — the better-auth revoke-session answers { status: true } when it matches and deletes nothing — the server-side half of #8018, now tracked nowhere #9714 precedent left its plural sibling untouched for exactly that reason. If the dev concludes otherwise, that is open_questions, not diff.
• Re-verify the session-list-revoke: sys_session.revoked_at/revoke_reason are declared readonly "System-managed" but the interactive-revoke path deletes rather than tombstones — ADR-0069 D4 revoke-audit trail is effectively inert #7732 tombstone interaction behaviourally, as the card requires — this route carries reason admin, and an already-revoked token's answer is part of the contract being changed.
• Refusals per ADR-0112: code AND status, never one alone.
• ⛔ Disclosure discipline (security family, The datasource-admin HTTP family is reachable unauthenticated, read and write — mounts outside the enforceAuth seam #9391/finding: the four /admin/sso/* bridges carry no ObjectStack-side admin gate, and their delegated authorization is unprovable on a stock boot #9653/sys_webhook still declares no enable block — the read-surface narrowing #7799 and #7986 both pointed at was never delivered, and #7986 closed completed #9756/better-auth revoke-session answers { status: true } when it matches and deletes nothing — the server-side half of #8018, now tracked nowhere #9714 precedent): no reproduction recipes in the PR body, any commit message, or any comment. Mechanism and fix only.
• Repo-wide pin-sweep for assertions of the old { success: true } shape — and if the sweep returns zero, it needs a counter-check proving the search works.
• ⚠️ check:type-check-debt: @objectstack/plugin-auth sits at exactly 109, held across four consecutive cards. Shrink-only — ⛔ do not raise it to buy green; type the mock instead.

PM 复核：内容 ACCEPT（PR #10109 @ b293081c2）

按内容逐条核对，不采信报告叙述。

① 我事先声明的第一优先级检查项：两个越界测试文件到底改了什么 —— 结论对开发有利。
better-auth-schema-parity.test.ts 与 managed-extension-fields.test.ts 各 additions: 12 / changes: 12，即 12 增 0 删：不是把 managed-extension-fields.test.ts 改回 findUp 种子（#9694 落地的 const HERE = __dirname; 原封未动），而是新 defaultRoles import 逼出来的扫描器 skip 条目，两处都写明了理由，并靠文件自带的 stale 断言在 import 消失时自动收回豁免。越界成立且必要，PR body 已申报。

② 纯增量：auth-manager.ts 83 增 0 删；无既有行为被移除。守卫走 hooks.before（after-hook 改不了 status），与 #10070 同缝。

③ 权限先于存在性 —— 这是本卡最容易做错的一步，做对了。守卫在 vendor adminMiddleware 之前跑，却先用 vendor 自己的输入（getAuthoritativeSessionFromCtx + 挂载中 admin 插件的 live options + vendor 导出的 defaultRoles）问 vendor 自己的权限问题；任何 vendor 会拒的调用者原样落回 vendor 的 401/403，missing 与 live token 字节相同（有 pin）。否则每个已认证非管理员都会白得一个存在性 oracle。镜像两个漂移方向都有 pin（松 → 集成测试；紧 → 自定义 roles 单测）。

④ 没有照抄 #9714 的谓词：该路由无 ownership 维度，谓词只问"有没有任何 session 带这个 token"。存在性 oracle 的取舍被重新判定而非继承——同一 default admin role 已授 session:['list']，404 不会告诉有权管理员任何它查不到的事。判断成立。

⑤ 反证质量：消融先声明预测签名（"恰好 3 个拒绝 pin 报 expected 404, received 200"），实测 3 failed | 12 passed 吻合，git hash-object 证明按字节还原，并明确交代无需重建（vitest 从 src/ 直接吃，dist 不在解析路径上）。零命中扫除带反向对照。债务 109 未抬。

⑥ 破坏性面：已撤销 token 再撤销由 200 变 404 —— 这是行为变更，changeset 已用发布说明读者能懂的话写明，且与 #7732"已撤销的 session 不是 session"教义一致。

唯一未结项：CI 两红，均指向本 diff 够不到的子系统

• Lint & Repo Gates —— packages/spec/src/migrations/registry.ts 0:0 Parsing error: Maximum call stack size exceeded。[finding] Lint & Repo Gates flips red/green on IDENTICAL content — the generated migrations/registry.ts sits at the ESLint parser's stack limit, and it only grows #10030 的同一签名；本 diff 对 packages/spec 零改动（车道红线：零 spec 所有权）。
• Test Core (2/3) —— plugin-dev 的 dev-plugin-security-enforcement-warning.test.ts 两例 5000ms 超时（非断言失败）。该文件开头就把 @objectstack/plugin-auth vi.mock 成抛 ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND，本 PR 的代码在该文件里根本不会被执行；文件自述的超时风险来源正是"未 mock 依赖的 vite transform 本身就能撑爆 timeout"。该文件上一次改动是 fix(plugin-dev): ask the published security service, in start(), whether anything is enforcing #10092（7552e0337）。

base 1800ffac2 在 main 上是绿的，所以"base 也红"这条豁免不成立；我不拿它当挡箭牌。已按规则动用唯一一次 re-run 去确认，因同 run 内 TypeScript Type Check 仍在跑被 GitHub 拒（403 This workflow is already running），等其收尾后立即重试。⛔ 在此期间不改 diff、不放宽 timeout、不 skip 测试。

红的没转绿之前不 ready、不入队。
