Replay Attack
A classic network security attack in which an adversary intercepts a legitimate authorization message and retransmits it to trick the system into repeating the same operation. The risk is elevated in agentic systems due to longer authorization token chains.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Defending against webhook replay attacks requires a dual strategy of timestamp window constraints (usually 5 minutes) and enforced idempotency (each event has a globally unique ID).
A nonce is a single-use random value, typically generated by the verifier and embedded in the message to be signed, whose core purpose is to prevent replay attacks.
Key designs to prevent replay include: each approval token contains a unique random number (nonce), is bound to a specific action ID and payload hash, has a short validity period, and its used status is recorded on the server side.
A replay attack is a cybersecurity threat in which an attacker intercepts a legitimate authorization message and retransmits it unchanged at a later time to trick the system into executing the same operation again.
