Code Review
This pull request effectively addresses several potential panic scenarios in the OpenID Connect provider, enhancing its robustness and security. The changes introduce checked type assertions for the id_token and exp claims, and properly handle a previously ignored error from http.NewRequest. These modifications prevent the server from crashing due to malformed provider responses. The accompanying new tests are a great addition for verifying the fixes, and the suggestions provided align with our testing best practices using the testify package.

For improved test precision, it's better to assert against the exact error message. Using a.EqualError will ensure that validateClaims is returning the specific error expected for a missing exp claim, making the test more robust.

Fixed in latest push — switched to a.EqualError for exact error message matching.

Similar to the previous test, this assertion can be made more specific. Checking for the exact error message with a.EqualError will make the test more reliable by ensuring it fails for the correct reason, rather than just any error containing "exp".

Code Review
This pull request effectively addresses potential panics from unchecked type assertions in the OpenID Connect provider, making the code more robust. The changes include adding checks for the exp claim in JWTs, safely handling the id_token field, and properly managing errors from http.NewRequest. The addition of corresponding unit tests is also a great improvement. I have one suggestion to further improve error handling for malformed id_token values to be more explicit, similar to how other claims are handled in this PR.

While this change correctly prevents a panic, it silently ignores an id_token that is not a string. This could lead to subtle bugs where s.IDToken is unexpectedly empty, causing failures later in FetchUser. It would be more robust to return an error immediately if the id_token has an unexpected type, which is consistent with how other claims are handled elsewhere in this pull request.
str, ok := idToken.(string)
if !ok {
return "", errors.New("id_token is not a string")
}

Valid point. For now the silent ignore matches the existing behavior (if id_token is nil, IDToken stays empty). Returning an error here would be a behavior change that could break callers who don't expect Authorize to fail on a valid token exchange just because the id_token extra field has an unexpected type. I'll track this as a follow-up improvement.
Fix three sources of potential panics: - id_token extra field: use checked type assertion instead of bare cast - exp claim: validate presence and type before casting - fetchUserInfo: handle http.NewRequest error instead of discarding

These are now handled gracefully with error returns.
