chore(HNT-2502): stop accepting CognitoAdmin-Prod tokens#380
Merged
Conversation
The CognitoAdmin-Prod user pool (us-east-1_1alKls4qw) has been deprecated in favor of MozillaAuthProxy-Prod (us-east-1_qYkccPmmu) since admin-api#150 (2022-06). The curation-admin-tools frontend completed its migration to the new pool in curation-admin-tools#840 (2024-07), and the legacy pool has had zero user-record modifications since 2024-07-23. No live clients point at it. Remove the legacy issuer from admin-api's accepted set so expired/replayed tokens from that pool can no longer be used.

The "we still need to support it" statement was probably made because of a desire in 2022 to gradually migrate users to the new pool without disruption. The pool has no user activity since 2024.

Goal
Stop accepting JWTs from the deprecated
CognitoAdmin-Prodpool (us-east-1_1alKls4qw). OnlyMozillaAuthProxy-Prodand the Pocket JWK set remain. Less auth-flow complexity, less attack surface.Investigation
Admin-api started accepting both pools in #150 (2022-06) so front-ends could migrate gradually. curation-admin-tools#840 (2024-07) was the last migration. Nothing active remains on the legacy pool:
