okta-webhooks

okta-webhooks is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hookdeck/webhook-skills. It costs 63 tokens per session (1,650 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of adyen-webhooks, MIT.

A guide to receiving and authenticating event notifications from Okta, an identity and access management service. It covers user, session, account-lock, and group-membership events.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build an Okta Event Hook endpoint and respond to changes in users, sessions, locked accounts, or groups.
Why use it?
It explains Okta's one-time setup check and its per-request secret, so identity events can be accepted safely.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

okta-webhooks scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (examples/express/src/index.js, examples/express/test/webhook.test.js, examples/fastapi/main.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Okta Webhooks

When to Use This Skill

  • Setting up Okta Event Hook handlers
  • Implementing the one-time verification challenge (GET handshake)
  • Authenticating Okta webhook requests with the Authorization header secret
  • Understanding Okta event types and payloads
  • Debugging why Okta event hook verification or delivery is failing

How Okta Event Hooks Differ

Okta Event Hooks do not use an HMAC signature. Security relies on two things:

  1. One-time verification handshake — When you register the hook, Okta sends a GET request with an x-okta-verification-challenge header. You must reply 200 with JSON {"verification": "<challenge value>"}.
  2. Per-request authentication — You choose a secret string that Okta sends in the Authorization header on every event delivery (an HTTPS POST). Verify it with a timing-safe comparison. There is no body signature.

Verification (core)

const crypto = require('crypto');

// 1. One-time verification handshake (GET)
function handleChallenge(req, res) {
  const challenge = req.headers['x-okta-verification-challenge'];
  return res.status(200).json({ verification: challenge });
}

// 2. Per-request auth on every event POST — timing-safe compare of Authorization
function isAuthorized(authHeader, secret) {
  const a = Buffer.from(authHeader || '', 'utf8');
  const b = Buffer.from(secret || '', 'utf8');
  // Length check first: timingSafeEqual throws on unequal-length buffers
  return a.length === b.length && crypto.timingSafeEqual(a, b);
}

Python timing-safe compare: hmac.compare_digest(auth_header, secret).

Common Event Types

Okta event hooks deliver System Log events. Each item in data.events[] has an eventType field:

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
