Validate HubSpot webhook signatures to confirm authenticity (v3 signature)

Verified steps

  1. When receiving a webhook POST, extract the X-HubSpot-Signature-v3 header and the X-HubSpot-Request-Timestamp header
  2. Reject any request where the timestamp is more than 5 minutes old to prevent replay attacks
  3. Construct the source string as: HTTP method + full request URI + raw request body + timestamp value (all concatenated, no separators)
  4. Compute an HMAC-SHA256 of the source string using your app's client secret as the key
  5. Base64-encode the resulting HMAC and compare it to the header value — reject the request if they do not match
