Summary

Adds a new eval - server_python_mfa (Python (auth0-server-python) MFA Step-Up) - that measures how accurately an agent can add MFA step-up to a framework-agnostic Python web app built on the auth0-server-python SDK.

The task: an app that already has Auth0 login must gain a Transfer Funds feature gated behind MFA. If the user hasn't completed MFA in the current session, the agent must prompt for step-up and only run the transfer once MFA is verified. This exercises the SDK's start_interactive_login / complete_interactive_login flow, the acr_values step-up parameter, and reading the amr claim to detect prior MFA.

What's included

Eval (src/evals/mfa/server-python/)

  • PROMPT.md - task description with id: server_python_mfa, the auth0 skill, a setup_command (venv + pip install -r requirements.txt), and a compile_command (compileall). Ships sample Auth0 config (domain, client ID/secret, base URL, audience) in the prompt.
  • graders.ts - acceptance criteria across all levels:
    • L1 (presence): acr_values, amr, the multi-factor policy URI, and start_interactive_login.
    • L2 (hallucination): no server-side TOTP libs (pyotp, otplib), no hand-rolled /mfa/challenge, no manual jwt.decode.
    • L3 (security): no hardcoded client secret in source; a judge confirming raw tokens aren't leaked into responses/logs and the SDK-managed encrypted session is used.
    • L4 (structural): compiles; Auth0 config externalised into the workspace; acr_values passed into start_interactive_login; a judge on gating the transfer behind the amr check.
    • L5 (current API): a judge on passing acr_values inside authorization_params; no manual id_token.split decoding.
    • Holistic judge (no level) covering the end-to-end step-up implementation.

Scaffold (src/evals/scaffolds/server-python/auth0/)

A minimal Auth0-enabled Python web app on the stdlib http.server for the agent to build on: app.py (login/callback/logout + a /transfer endpoint), auth0_client.py, http_helpers.py, stores.py, requirements.txt, and .env.example.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR adds a Python MFA step-up evaluation. It defines grading rules and a runnable Auth0 server scaffold with HTTP routing, environment configuration, encrypted cookie stores, and Auth0 SDK integration.

Changes

Python MFA step-up evaluation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Evaluation scenario and grading
apps/auth0-evals/src/evals/mfa/server-python/PROMPT.md, apps/auth0-evals/src/evals/mfa/server-python/graders.ts
The prompt defines the Transfer Funds MFA scenario. The graders check SDK usage, configuration, compilation, MFA gating, and prohibited approaches.
HTTP adapters and cookie storage
apps/auth0-evals/src/evals/scaffolds/server-python/auth0/http_helpers.py, apps/auth0-evals/src/evals/scaffolds/server-python/auth0/stores.py
HTTP adapters parse URLs and cookies, manage response headers, and support redirects. Encrypted stores manage cookie-backed transaction and state persistence.
Auth0 client configuration
apps/auth0-evals/src/evals/scaffolds/server-python/auth0/requirements.txt, apps/auth0-evals/src/evals/scaffolds/server-python/auth0/.env.example, apps/auth0-evals/src/evals/scaffolds/server-python/auth0/auth0_client.py
The scaffold adds auth0-server-python, documents environment variables, and constructs a ServerClient with cookie stores and authorization parameters.
HTTP server route flow
apps/auth0-evals/src/evals/scaffolds/server-python/auth0/app.py, apps/auth0-evals/README.md
The server handles login, callback, logout, and transfer routes. It runs asynchronous handlers and returns redirects, JSON responses, cookies, or HTTP 500 errors. The README registers the evaluation.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~30 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7e26c

The PR adds a Python MFA step-up eval and scaffold, but merge readiness is moderate because authentication cookies are not transport-protected, concurrent login transactions can overwrite one another, and error responses may expose internal details; some grader checks can also produce incorrect pass or fail results. These bounded issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

[\s\S]*? is unbounded by the function call's closing paren. An agent that writes a normal start_interactive_login call for the standard login route, with authorization_params and acr_values appearing separately in a comment or a different function later in the file, will pass this grader without those three tokens being in the same call.

I'd bound the match within the argument dict:

String.raw`start_interactive_login\s*\(\s*\{[^}]*authorization_params[^}]*acr_values`

The [^}]* keeps the match inside the enclosing brace. Alternatively, promote this check to the L4 judge and drop the regex.

The OIDC spec uses uppercase AMR. Models trained on spec or Auth0 docs often produce claims.get('AMR', []). The contains executor is case-sensitive by default, so this grader silently misses a correct implementation using the uppercase form.

I'd add { caseSensitive: false } and update the description to reflect that L1 only verifies presence:

contains('amr', 'AMR claim referenced to detect prior MFA completion', GraderLevel.L1, { caseSensitive: false }),

Models hallucinating manual token inspection are as likely to write base64.b64decode(segment) + json.loads(...) or token.split('.')[1] as they are to use jwt.decode. The L5 notContains('id_token.split') covers only one specific variable name and only runs in MCP configurations.

I'd add a complementary L2 check:

notContains('base64.b64decode', 'No manual base64 JWT segment decoding', GraderLevel.L2),

Manual JWT decoding in Python is almost never spelled exactly id_token.split. Agents are more likely to write token.split('.'), raw.split('.'), or access_token.split('.'). This is a near-unconditional pass and adds little signal beyond the L2 notContains('jwt.decode') that already covers the most common path.

Would it make sense to broaden the needle (e.g. ".split('.')") or fold this into the L5 judge and drop the notContains?

Accept pre-built authorization parameters.

This regex only accepts acr_values inside the inline start_interactive_login argument object. A valid implementation can build authorization_params first, then pass that dictionary to start_interactive_login; it will fail this L4 grader. Use a semantic L4 judge that verifies the data flow instead of requiring the inline form.

Do not return raw exception text to the client.

The client receives str(err) for every failed Auth0 operation. This can expose internal Auth0, configuration, or dependency details during login and callback failures.

Set a transport policy for authentication cookies.

The response adapter omits Secure for both transaction and session cookies. Because APP_BASE_URL defaults to HTTP, browsers can send these cookies on an unencrypted request. HttpOnly and SameSite=Lax do not restrict transport. The Secure attribute restricts cookie delivery to HTTPS. (developer.mozilla.org)

Add a secure cookie option. Enable it for HTTPS deployments. Reject non-loopback HTTP configuration. Keep any local-development exception explicit and tested.

auth0-server-python 1.0.0b14 TransactionStore encrypt decrypt source

💡 Result:

In the auth0-server-python SDK (version 1.0.0b14), the TransactionStore is an abstraction used to manage short-lived OAuth flow data, such as PKCE code verifiers and state parameters [1][2][3]. The SDK provides an AbstractDataStore base class that includes encrypt and decrypt methods to ensure sensitive data is protected at rest [1]. Key points regarding these methods and storage security: 1. Data Protection: The SDK requires a secret key (configured via the secret parameter during client initialization) which serves as the foundation for the encryption and decryption processes [4][5][6]. 2. Implementation: The AbstractDataStore class provides the structural framework for these operations, allowing implementations (like those using cookies) to encrypt data before persistence and decrypt it upon retrieval [1][2]. 3. Security Mechanism: When using cookie-based stores, such as the CookieTransactionStore, the SDK typically encrypts the entire serialized transaction data to protect sensitive information like the PKCE code_verifier [1][2][3]. 4. Configuration: Developers are expected to generate a secure secret (e.g., using openssl rand -hex 64) and provide it to the ServerClient [4][5][7]. The SDK uses this secret to handle the encryption/decryption logic internally for protected storage backends [4][1][6]. For custom storage implementations, developers typically inherit from the base storage classes provided by the SDK, ensuring that their specific set and get methods utilize the built-in encryption and decryption utilities to maintain security compliance [1][2].

Store each login transaction by its identifier.

_CookieStore always reads, writes, and deletes the fixed _a0_tx cookie. The SDK uses state-specific transaction identifiers. A second login can overwrite the first transaction, so the first callback may retrieve the wrong transaction.

Derive the cookie key from identifier, or store a bounded map keyed by identifier. Delete only the matching entry. Add a two-tab login regression test.
