📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added Draft Queue, a Buffer app client example for connecting a Buffer account, choosing an organization and channel, and creating drafts with text and optional media.
    • Added account connection, draft submission results, logout, and a privacy information page.
    • Added support for local HTTPS and Vercel deployments, with login available when the callback URL is configured for the deployment.
  • Documentation
    • Added setup, usage, deployment, contribution, licensing, and security guidance.

Walkthrough

The change adds a Draft Queue Buffer app client. It includes OAuth with PKCE, token handling, GraphQL operations for account and channel data, and post creation. It adds Express routes, a browser interface for connecting an account and submitting drafts, and configuration for local HTTPS and Vercel deployment. It also adds setup, privacy, contribution, and security documentation, plus tests and a CI workflow.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 98dc7

Malformed drafts receive server errors instead of clear validation responses, and pull-request code can access an unnecessary checkout credential; these are bounded follow-up risks.

In `@app-client-starter-app/.github/workflows/ci.yml`:
- Around line 19-20: Move the CI workflow to the repository-root
.github/workflows so GitHub Actions can discover it, and update the npm setup in
the workflow to run from app-client-starter-app. Point the npm cache at that
app’s package-lock.json and set the working directory for the install, test, and
lint steps.

In `@app-client-starter-app/.vercelignore`:
- Around line 2-4: Add .session-key to the Vercel deployment exclusions in the
ignore configuration alongside certs/, node_modules/, and .env so the locally
generated session key is not uploaded.

In `@app-client-starter-app/lib/app.js`:
- Line 49: Update the `/auth/login`, `/callback`, and `/auth/logout` async
handlers to forward rejected operations to Express error handling via `next` or
an equivalent wrapper. In the `/callback` catch block, clear
`req.session.tokens` before the subsequent session save so it does not retry
saving the oversized token data.
- Around line 135-140: Update the post input validation block to reject
non-string text and non-null, non-string mediaUrl values with HttpError 400.
Parse non-empty mediaUrl values with URL before channel lookup or Buffer calls,
and return 400 unless parsing succeeds and the protocol is https.

In `@app-client-starter-app/lib/config.js`:
- Around line 33-34: Update the callback URL selection in the config flow around
`productionUrl` so preview deployments never use `VERCEL_PROJECT_PRODUCTION_URL`
for OAuth callbacks. Use the currently accessed deployment host when it has a
registered callback, or disable OAuth login on previews without one; preserve
the production callback behavior for production deployments.

In `@app-client-starter-app/README.md`:
- Line 15: Update the “Creating Buffer Client Apps” tutorial link in the README
to use the guide’s published URL, or remove the link until the guide exists; do
not leave the placeholder URL.

Return 400 for non-string or malformed post input, not 500.

The validation does not check input types or URL structure:

  • If text is a number, an object, or an array, text?.trim() throws a TypeError.
  • The mediaUrl check only tests the https:// prefix. https:// and https://bad host pass the check. new URL(mediaUrl) in assetsFor (app-client-starter-app/lib/buffer.js Lines 246-251) then throws.

In both cases the error has no status. The request reaches the 500 handler, and the handler runs after an extra channel lookup. Validate the types and parse the URL here, before any Buffer call.

🐛 Proposed fix
-  if (!text?.trim()) throw new HttpError(400, 'text is required')
+  if (typeof text !== 'string' || !text.trim()) throw new HttpError(400, 'text is required')
+  if (mediaUrl != null && typeof mediaUrl !== 'string') throw new HttpError(400, 'mediaUrl must be a string')
   // Buffer fetches the file when the post publishes, so the URL has to be
   // public and served over https.
-  if (mediaUrl?.trim() && !/^https:\/\//i.test(mediaUrl.trim())) {
-    throw new HttpError(400, 'mediaUrl must be a public https URL')
+  if (mediaUrl?.trim()) {
+    let parsed
+    try { parsed = new URL(mediaUrl.trim()) } catch { parsed = null }
+    if (parsed?.protocol !== 'https:') throw new HttpError(400, 'mediaUrl must be a public https URL')
   }

Disable checkout credential persistence for this PR job.

actions/checkout@v4 persists the token in local Git configuration by default. Pull-request code can run during installation and testing, then read and exfiltrate that token. The workflow limits the token to contents: read, but this job does not need authenticated Git commands. Set persist-credentials: false on the checkout step. (github.com)
