sonarly-bot c07ad2fef7 fix(auth): block self-impersonation before token issuance
https://sonarly.com/issue/41751?type=bug

Self-impersonation creates an invalid impersonation auth session that the app then persists, leaving the user in a broken loading state across pages until auth cookies are cleared.

Fix: I implemented a backend-first fix so self-impersonation is rejected before any impersonation auth session is issued:

1) Block self-impersonation at impersonation login-token creation
- In `ImpersonationService.impersonate(...)`, after loading target and impersonator workspaces, I added:
  - `if (toImpersonateUserWorkspace.id === impersonatorUserWorkspace.id) throw AuthException('User cannot impersonate themselves', FORBIDDEN_EXCEPTION)`
- This prevents generating impersonation login tokens for self-targets.

2) Block self-impersonation at login-token exchange (defense in depth)
- In `AuthResolver.validateAndLogImpersonation(...)`, I added the same user-workspace equality guard before server/workspace-level impersonation checks and before issuing impersonation access/refresh tokens.
- This prevents invalid impersonation token issuance even if a legacy/self login token somehow reaches exchange.

3) Added backend test coverage
- In `impersonation.service.spec.ts`, I added a test:
  - rejects when target and impersonator are the same user workspace
  - asserts no login token generation and no permission check is performed

4) Added frontend prevention in admin panel
- In `SettingsAdminWorkspaceDetail.tsx`, the Impersonate button is now disabled when the listed user is the current user (`currentUser?.id === userId`) in addition to in-flight disable.
- This removes the accidental self-trigger from the exposed UI path.

Validation commands attempted:
- `npx jest ...impersonation.service.spec.ts --config=packages/twenty-server/jest.config.mjs`
- `npx nx lint:diff-with-main twenty-server`
Both failed due missing installed modules in this environment (`file-type`/Nx modules not found), so I could not execute test/lint locally.

Installation

Cloud

The fastest way to get started. Sign up at twenty.com and spin up a workspace in under a minute, with no infrastructure to manage and always up to date.

Build an app

Scaffold a new app with the Twenty CLI:

npx create-twenty-app my-app

Define objects, fields, and views as code:

import { defineObject, FieldType } from 'twenty-sdk/define';

export default defineObject({
  nameSingular: 'deal',
  namePlural: 'deals',
  labelSingular: 'Deal',
  labelPlural: 'Deals',
  fields: [
    { name: 'name', label: 'Name', type: FieldType.TEXT },
    { name: 'amount', label: 'Amount', type: FieldType.CURRENCY },
    { name: 'closeDate', label: 'Close Date', type: FieldType.DATE_TIME },
  ],
});

Then ship it to your workspace:

npx twenty app:publish --private

See the app development guide for objects, views, agents, and logic functions.

Self-hosting

Run Twenty on your own infrastructure with Docker Compose, or contribute locally via the local setup guide.
