Review mirror of GeiserX/CashPilot (same commits). Findings are carried to the upstream PR and fixed there.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Sensitive credentials and secret URL details are now masked in application and request logs, including tokens, authentication information, and sensitive URL paths or query parameters.
    • Redaction also applies to exception tracebacks and normalized request URLs, while preserving useful context such as the host and request line where available.
    • Ordinary log messages remain unchanged, and logging continues if a message cannot be formatted.

…f container logs

httpx logs every request at INFO with its full URL, and the Telegram Bot
API carries the bot token in the path, so each Telegram alert wrote the
token to the UI container's log. Webhook path tokens, ntfy topics,
user:password@ and API keys in query strings rode the same line.

A log record factory installed by both entry modules now redacts the
configured notifier secrets, Telegram-shaped tokens, URL userinfo and
credential-named query parameters in every record and traceback, from
any logger. Request lines stay logged, with the secret parts replaced.
…e tests as tests

CodeQL flagged a bare host substring check and a fake value named like a
password being logged on purpose. Assert the full redacted line instead and
name the fake value for what it is.
httpx logs str(request.url), which lowercases the host, drops a default
port and percent-encodes spaces. A CASHPILOT_WEBHOOK_URL or
CASHPILOT_NTFY_URL written any other way never matched the literal
replacement, so its token or topic reached the log in full. Build the
replacement pairs from the raw value and from httpx's normalized form.

Walkthrough

The change adds log-record redaction for configured secrets and URL credentials. The application and worker entry points install redaction after logging configuration, and the worker image includes the redaction module.

Changes: Log Secret Redaction

Layer / File(s) Summary
Redaction rules and record handling
app/log_redaction.py, tests/test_secrets_never_reach_the_request_log.py
Adds redaction for configured secrets, URL credentials, Telegram-token-shaped strings, and credential-named parameters. The record factory redacts messages and unformatted tracebacks. Tests cover redaction, preserved log lines, and malformed record formatting.
Startup and worker image integration
app/main.py, app/worker_api.py, Dockerfile.worker, tests/test_secrets_never_reach_the_request_log.py
Installs redaction in both entry points after logging configuration. Adds the module to the worker image. Subprocess tests check redacted output from both entry points.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 485ba

The previously reported URL over-redaction is fixed, and no remaining issue identified here prevents merging after normal checks.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 485ba

The change reduces credential exposure in ordinary request logs without changing request destinations or permissions. Its scope is contained, but protection during early startup, malformed logging, and custom logging configurations is not fully established.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The changed confidentiality boundary is between secret-bearing runtime log records and consumers of application or worker logs. The wrapper affects ordinary logging across each process, but does not grant log readers new access to credential stores or remote services.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — The relevant pre-existing attack path is access to logs containing credential-bearing request URLs, potentially enabling reuse of exposed credentials. This PR reduces that path for matched values. No introduced or worsened attack path was established, and incomplete security coverage prevents a comprehensive safety conclusion.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Redaction is not a universal sanitization boundary: malformed message formatting returns the original record, existing cached exception text is not rewritten, and raw exception information remains attached. These are residual limitations of a newly added control, not regressions from prior shared protection.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Inspected tests cover normal request redaction, URL normalization, ordinary traceback redaction, and imports of both entrypoints. They provide counterevidence to missing startup wiring, but do not demonstrate deployed framework behavior or handling of malformed records by actual handlers.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 50.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 6 functions across 4 files.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Service-specific env names are hardcoded in app/.

The coding guidelines say never to hardcode service-specific logic in app/. _SECRET_ENV and _SECRET_URL_ENV name notifier settings, not services from services/*.yml. They match the existing app/notify.py model, so this is probably acceptable. If notify.py already defines these names, import them from there. This avoids a second list that can drift when a notifier is added.

86-87: Trivial · Performance & Scalability · Quick win

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

redact() re-reads the environment and rebuilds the secret list for every log record.

_configured_secrets() runs os.getenv, httpx.URL, and urlsplit on each call. make_record calls redact() for every record in every logger, including DEBUG records. This adds avoidable work on a hot path. Cache the list. Key the cache on the tuple of raw env values, so a runtime change still takes effect.

delimiters as well as the existing boundaries; preserve matching of actual URL
