//go:build integration

// Package login_test contains an end-to-end reproduction of GHSA-738m-7888-jfv8, an
// external-IDP account pre-hijack / takeover in the server-rendered Login V1 UI.
//
// The vulnerability: POST /ui/login/externaluser/option (handleExternalNotFoundOptionCheck)
// is meant to be the *submit* of the "external account not found" page, which only ever appears
// after a genuine, protocol-verified IDP callback has populated the server-side
// authReq.LinkingUsers state. Before the fix, the handler ignored that state and built the new
// user's external identity (IDPConfigID + ExternalUserID) and its "verified" email straight from
// the raw POST body. An UNAUTHENTICATED attacker could therefore POST forged data directly to the
// endpoint - without ever going through the real IDP - and have Zitadel create a real account
// bound to an arbitrary (IDPConfigID, ExternalUserID). By setting ExternalUserID to a victim's
// public external identifier (e.g. a GitHub numeric user id) the attacker pre-creates an account
// that the victim's own, genuine future "Sign in with X" then silently logs into.
//
// This test drives the exact attack over raw HTTP against a running Zitadel instance:
//
//  1. authorize (create a V1 auth request)  ->  2. load login page (grab CSRF)
//     ->  3. select the IDP (sets SelectedIDPConfigID)  ->  4. forge the not-found-option POST
//
// It then asserts, over gRPC, that NO user was created for the attacker's forged identity. Against
// the unpatched code this fails (the forged account is created); against the fixed code it passes
// (the request is rejected with Errors.ExternalIDP.NoExternalUserData). That is the red -> green
// signal for the fix.
//
// Note on setup: no real GitHub account or working OAuth app is needed. The exploit bypasses the
// real OAuth round-trip entirely, so the IDP template only has to EXIST with creation allowed and
// dummy credentials - its client id/secret and endpoints are never exercised on the attack path.
//
// Requires a running backend + database. Run with:
//
