## Summary The AxonFlow SDK's `WebhookSubscription` (or equivalent) type did not expose the HMAC-SHA256 signing key returned by the platform's `CreateWebhook` endpoint. Without access to the secret through the typed SDK API, callers had no path to verify the `X-AxonFlow-Signature` header on incoming webhook deliveries. Affected callers had two unsatisfactory options: 1. Skip signature verification entirely — accepting any payload from any source that knew the webhook URL. 2. Hand-parse the raw HTTP JSON response to extract the secret, bypassing the type-safe SDK surface. This advisory is filed across all four AxonFlow SDKs (Go, Python, TypeScript, Java) because the same defect and the same fix landed in each. ## Affected versions Versions 5.6.0 and below. ## Impact A webhook receiver using the SDK's typed API to handle inbound deliveries had no path to authenticate the source of incoming payloads. An attacker who learned the webhook URL — through misconfiguration, log leakage, observable network traffic during setup, or any other discovery channel — could forge webhook deliveries indistinguishable from legitimate ones, causing the receiving application to act on fabricated events (e.g. simulated approval-granted callbacks, simulated policy-decision callbacks, simulated step-completion callbacks). ## Remediation Upgrade to the patched version listed in Vulnerabilities below. The signing key is now exposed on the `WebhookSubscription` response type returned by `CreateWebhook`. Implementations should: 1. Persist the secret returned by `CreateWebhook` securely (it is only returned once, at create time). 2. On each incoming webhook delivery, compute `HMAC-SHA256(secret, raw_body)` and compare it in constant time against the `X-AxonFlow-Signature` header. 3. Reject any delivery whose signature does not match. ## Credit Identified by AxonFlow internal security review during the April 2026 quality-freeze epic.
