Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added API key management in account settings, including creating, editing, revealing, copying, rotating, and revoking keys.
- Added project-level API key views for project owners.
- Added controls to assign keys specific permissions and access to selected projects or all projects.
- API keys now support scoped access across analytics, events, revenue, and other API resources.
Changes
- The legacy API key creation endpoint is no longer available; manage keys through account settings or the API keys endpoint.
Documentation
- Added guidance on key permissions, rotation, encryption configuration, and self-hosted setup.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds scoped API-key creation and management, encrypted key storage, API-key authentication, and project- and scope-based authorization in both backend editions. It adds API-key management views to the web application and updates API-key documentation.

Changes

Scoped API key lifecycle and access

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Key records and lifecycle `backend/apps/{cloud,community}/src/api-key/`, `backend/migrations/`, `backend/apps/{cloud,community}/src/user/*`	Adds key types, validation, cryptographic helpers, storage, service operations, API-key management endpoints, database tables, and legacy-key handling. User data responses exclude API-key data.
Authentication and project authorization `backend/apps/{cloud,community}/src/auth/*`, `backend/apps/{cloud,community}/src/api-key/api-key-{access,collection}.decorator.ts`, `backend/apps/{cloud,community}/src/api-key/api-key.guard.ts`	Routes API-key requests through `ApiKeyService` and checks endpoint scopes, required scopes, project access, account-wide access, and event-query restrictions.
Endpoint access policies `backend/apps/{cloud,community}/src/analytics/`, `backend/apps/{cloud,community}/src/project/`, `backend/apps/{cloud,community}/src/feature-flag/`, `backend/apps/{cloud,community}/src/goal/`, `backend/apps/cloud/src/{data-import,organisation,revenue}/*`	Declares API-key policies on analytics, ingestion, project, funnel, annotation, goal, feature-flag, organisation, and revenue routes. Project-list routes pass allowed project IDs into project pagination.
Web management and supporting material `web/app/components/ApiKeys/`, `web/app/routes/api.api-keys.ts`, `web/app/pages/{Project/Settings,UserSettings}/`, `web/app/lib/models/`, `docs/content/docs/`, `web/public/locales/en.json`	Adds account and project key-management views, forwards management operations to the backend, and updates translations and documentation for scoped keys and permissions.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 82157

Project owners cannot use the new API Keys tab, and account-level key submissions can also submit profile changes. Revealing keys after an encryption-secret change can fail with a server error. Fix these paths and honor the documented encryption setting before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 82157

Scoped keys improve least-privilege access, but concurrent rotation can restore removed permissions. Community legacy-key replacement also has incomplete failure recovery, and the documented dedicated encryption secret is not implemented. Owner-only management and project checks limit exposure.

Retained concerns

Medium · security · inferred: In both editions, rotation can restore restrictions that an overlapping update removed. Rotation reads the old grants, while a grant update preserves keyHash. The subsequent full-record rotation still matches that hash and writes the stale grants onto the new credential. For a previously rotated legacy record, this can restore unrestricted=true. JWT-only management limits initiation to authenticated owner operations, but the resulting credential holder inherits the restored authority.
Medium · security · inferred: Community inserts the managed replacement before clearing the legacy credential. Interruption between those writes, or a clear failure followed by failed compensating deletion, can leave both credentials active. During incomplete legacy rotation, a holder of the old secret retains unrestricted API authority. The Redis lease serializes replacement attempts but does not make the writes atomic or reconcile stranded records. The failure path does not establish a falsely successful response; this is an inferred recovery risk introduced by the new transition. Cloud's transactional replacement avoids this particular split state.
Medium · security · observed: The new guide promises optional encryption isolation through API_KEY_ENCRYPTION_SECRET, but both implementations derive encryption exclusively from SECRET_KEY_BASE. Configuring the dedicated secret therefore provides no isolation from the shared master secret. Changing SECRET_KEY_BASE also strands existing encrypted reveal material despite keeping the dedicated setting stable. Hash-based authentication and owner-authorized rotation remain available, limiting the recovery impact.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

inferred — The concurrency risk follows one key owner's API authority, not arbitrary cross-user access: stale rotation can restore broader project and scope grants, or unrestricted legacy-compatible authority. Exploitation through the resulting credential still requires knowledge of that credential and remains subject to downstream endpoint controls.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

inferred — A concrete grant-restoration sequence is: rotation reads broad grants; an owner update successfully narrows grants without changing keyHash; rotation then matches the unchanged hash and writes its stale grants with the new secret. A holder of that returned secret receives broader authority than the completed restriction intended.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

observed — API-key holders cannot directly invoke the new lifecycle routes through API-key authentication. Those routes require JWT authentication, and record lookups bind operations to the authenticated user. Restricted API keys are denied when endpoint permission metadata or required scopes are missing.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

observed — Hash predicates detect stale secret replacements, and Community waits for mutations and verifies the resulting hash. These controls do not version grant changes. Cloud transactionally replaces legacy authority; Community instead attempts compensation and releases its lease in a finally block.

Hardening Proposals

proposed — Version the entire authorization record, not just its credential hash, and make rotation preserve the current committed grants. Give Community legacy replacement durable, retry-safe recovery semantics. Align the encryption-secret implementation and documentation, with an explicit credential-state rollback plan.
