Description of Changes

Locks the latest phone token while validating it so concurrent requests cannot overwrite its attempt counter. Adds a regression test that verifies validation enters a transaction and obtains the token row lock.

📝 Walkthrough

ValidatePhoneTokenView.post now retrieves the newest matching phone token with select_for_update() inside transaction.atomic(). Missing-token and PhoneTokenException responses occur inside the transaction. Subsequent validation and phone-number or registration updates remain outside it. A test checks for a successful response, one atomic transaction, and one row-lock query.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: pandafy

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 95c6b

The locking path appears sound, but the test does not exercise overlapping requests. This is mergeable with a concurrent regression test as a follow-up.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "[fix] Prevented concurrent phone token validation attempts" uses an allowed prefix (fix) and describes the main change. The changeset locks the newest phone token during validation so concurrent requests cannot overwrite its attempt counter, which matches the title.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template and includes the checklist, the Reference to Existing Issue section, the Description of Changes section, and the Screenshot section. It explains the change: the latest phone token is locked during validation, and a regression test checks that validation enters a transaction and obtains the row lock. The Reference to Existing Issue section is marked N/A, though the PR objectives link the work to PR #815 and no issue is named. The author may want to confirm that no issue exists for this change.

Full details: Ui Changes, Regression Test, Docs

Explanation

The PR adds a regression test and does not change an end-user UI, so screenshots are not required. However, it changes the documented SMS token validation endpoint in openwisp_radius/api/views.py, while the PR changes only code and tests. The endpoint is documented in docs/user/rest-api.rst at lines 802-827. The documentation does not describe the corrected concurrent attempt-counter behavior.

Resolution

Update docs/user/rest-api.rst for the SMS token validation endpoint to document the relevant concurrent-validation and attempt-counter behavior, then include that documentation file in the PR.

- Around line 594-595: Replace the lock-method-only assertions in the phone
verification test with a concurrency test using BaseTransactionTestCase and a
database backend that supports row locks; synchronize two validation requests
and assert the persisted attempt count and response when the attempt limit is
reached.

UI Changes, Regression Test, Docs: If the changes produce visible changes to an end user-facing UI, the PR description must include screenshots or screen recordings showing before and after. Do not require them for functional changes that do not visibly alter the UI or if the program does not have an UI at all.
Changes, new features and bugixes to the application code must provide at least one regression test (CI or trivial fixes are exempt). 
New features  must be documented.
Changes to documented features require documentation updates.

@nemesifier No unresolved review findings remain. The only finding was the concurrency-test request, which I withdrew. That thread is resolved.

All test-matrix, CodeQL, and coverage checks passed. No checks are pending or failing; one earlier auto-assignment run was cancelled.

GitHub still reports Changes requested and a blocked merge state. The withdrawn review’s approval status remains outstanding. You can request approval with @coderabbitai approve.
