Conversation
This commit addresses a security vulnerability where sensitive JWT tokens and license keys were included in error responses. - Modified `packages/shared/src/lib/common/activepieces-error.ts` to change `InvalidJwtTokenErrorParams` and `InvalidLicenseKeyParams` to `Record<string, never>`. - Updated `packages/server/api/src/app/ee/connection-keys/connection-key.service.ts` to stop passing tokens in error params. - Updated `packages/server/api/src/app/ee/license-keys/license-keys-controller.ts` to stop passing license keys in error params. These changes prevent the global error handler in `packages/server/api/src/app/helper/error-handler.ts` from serializing and returning sensitive data to the client.

Pull request overview
This PR removes sensitive credential echoes (JWT tokens and license keys) from API error responses by ensuring those values are no longer carried in ActivepiecesError.params, which are serialized by the global error handler.
Changes:
- Changed
INVALID_OR_EXPIRED_JWT_TOKENandINVALID_LICENSE_KEYerror param types toRecord<string, never>to prevent attaching sensitive data. - Updated server-side throw sites to pass empty params for these error codes.
- Added a Sentinel note documenting the vulnerability and prevention guidance.

nx affectedto only lint/build changed projects, but line 30 usesnx run-manywith a hardcoded project list. This inconsistency means:
- New testable projects won't be included unless manually added to the list.
- Tests run even when those projects aren't affected by the PR.

1-29: Same concern: workflow name contradicts behavior.This mirrors the labels workflow issue—"Require Issue Reference" no longer requires anything. The check now always succeeds regardless of whether an issue is linked.
If the goal is to temporarily unblock CI while the team decides on enforcement policy, consider adding a comment explaining this is intentional, or converting to a warning annotation:
💡 Alternative: warn without failing
if (!linkedIssue) { - console.log('No issue link found, skipping check.'); + core.warning('PR does not reference an issue (e.g., "Fixes `#123`"). Consider linking one for traceability.'); }This preserves visibility in PR checks without blocking merges.

the run-many call but add a comment explaining why engine,shared,server-api are

"--projects=engine,shared,server-api" accordingly and ensure any required

- Around line 1-29: The workflow title "Issue Linking - Require Issue Reference"

currently only logs and never fails; update behavior to match the title by
making the check fail when no issue is found (use core.setFailed or throw an
Error inside the if (!linkedIssue) branch) so the job fails and blocks the PR,
or alternatively change the workflow name and step behavior to a non-blocking
warning (use core.warning or console.warn) if you intend it to be informational;
edit the "validate-issue-linking" job's script (variables: body, issuePattern,
linkedIssue) accordingly so the intent and implementation are consistent.

I have identified and fixed a security issue where sensitive information (JWT tokens and license keys) was being leaked in error responses.
The global error handler in
packages/server/api/src/app/helper/error-handler.tsserializes theparamsfield of anyActivepiecesErrordirectly into the JSON response sent to the client. Two error types,INVALID_OR_EXPIRED_JWT_TOKENandINVALID_LICENSE_KEY, were configured to include the full token/key in their parameters. This meant that any time a client provided an invalid token or license key, the server would echo that sensitive value back in the error response, and potentially log it in plain text.To fix this, I have:
packages/shared/src/lib/common/activepieces-error.tstoRecord<string, never>, ensuring they cannot hold any data.connection-key.service.tsandlicense-keys-controller.ts) that throw these errors to stop passing the sensitive values.This change follows the security best practice of not leaking sensitive information in error messages and ensures that even if authentication fails, we do not expose the credentials used.
I verified the changes by:
pnpm nx test shared(all tests passed).npx eslinton the affected files to ensure no regressions or type errors.pnpm-lock.yamlfile generated during dependency installation.PR created automatically by Jules for task 12149717340792866628 started by @AGI-Corporation
