Epic players previously exposed a client-reported account ID that servers could not trust for whitelist checks. This change verifies a fresh Epic-signed proof before exposing epicId on PendingConnection and Player.

Proof generation and verification run asynchronously. Invalid, expired, mismatched, and replayed proofs reject the connection before playerConnecting, including when no admission handler is installed. Access and refresh tokens stay on the client, and proofs are not exposed to scripts.

Breaking change: adds a required epicProof field to the connection handshake. Launcher, client, and server must update together.

Validation:

  • All 676 framework and scripting tests passed.
  • Launcher, client, and server builds passed.
  • Regression coverage includes forged identities, expiry, replay, verification failures, and cancelled joins.
  • Live Epic-account join tested.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added Epic account verification during server admission. Servers can now validate Epic identities against short-lived, signed ownership proofs and reject invalid or replayed proofs.
    • Epic-authenticated connections prepare proofs asynchronously, keeping the connection responsive while authentication completes.
    • Exposed verified Epic IDs to connection handlers while keeping proof details private.
  • Documentation
    • Updated connection admission guidance to explain Epic verification and the identity fields required when connecting.

Walkthrough

The client obtains an Epic account proof during asynchronous connection preparation and includes it in the session identity. The server verifies the proof asynchronously before admission, then exposes the verified Epic ID without exposing the proof to admission handlers.

Changes

Epic proof admission

Layer / File(s) Summary
Proof contract and verification
code/framework/src/external/epic/account_proof.*, code/framework/src/external/epic/auth.*, code/framework/CMakeLists.txt
Adds bounded proof parsing, online key retrieval, RS512 verification, claim checks, and ownership-token retrieval for account proofs.
Client proof and session transport
code/framework/src/launcher/platforms/platforms.cpp, code/framework/src/integrations/client/instance.cpp, code/framework/src/networking/*, code/framework/src/networking/rpc/client_identity.h, code/tests/modules/connection_admission_ut.h, code/tests/modules/network_packets_ut.h, code/framework/CMakeLists.txt
Passes Epic catalog values to the client, prepares identity asynchronously, and adds epicProof to the session payload. Tests cover delayed preparation, cancellation, errors, and proof serialization.
Server verification and admission
code/framework/src/integrations/server/epic_identity_verifier.*, code/framework/src/integrations/server/instance.*, code/framework/src/integrations/server/scripting/builtins/pending_connection.cpp, code/framework/src/scripting/builtins/player.*, code/tests/modules/epic_identity_ut.h, code/tests/modules/connection_gate_ut.h, code/tests/framework_ut.cpp, docs/connection_admission.md, code/framework/CMakeLists.txt
Adds asynchronous server verification, bounded pending work, and replay checks. Verified identities proceed to admission; the proof is removed before admission handlers run. Tests and documentation cover verification, failure cases, and the updated identity payload.

This rabbit packs a proof to send,
While checks run quietly round the bend.
A signed account earns its place,
The proof stays out of view and space.
Then hop, the session joins the race!
