ARC API – Plug and Play to speed Development

  1. Enhanced Authorization Code Security We’ve released a security enhancement for the Authentication Service to strengthen the authorization flow and prevent authorization code reuse vulnerabilities.

Key Highlights

  • Authorization codes are now strictly single-use.
  • Once an authorization code is exchanged for an access token, it can no longer be reused.
  • Any subsequent attempts to reuse the same authorization code will return an Unauthorized Access response.
  • Enhances overall authentication security and aligns the flow with expected OAuth authorization code behavior.
  1. GitMCP Integration Added to LoopBack4 Microservice Catalog

We’ve integrated GitMCP with the LoopBack4 Microservice Catalog repository, enabling improved MCP-compatible workflows and enhanced developer automation capabilities.

What’s New

  • Streamlined repository interactions through MCP-enabled workflows
  • Simplified automation and improved extensibility for developer tooling
  • Better alignment with our evolving AI and agent-driven development ecosystem
