Security boundary

Closes the package-owned argv disclosure gap tracked in #117 without changing database-target authority. The CLI continues to accept explicit credential-free libpq selectors through --dsn, but rejects password/private-key-bearing URI/conninfo before bootstrap/database/provider acquisition and without reflecting rejected content.

Test-first implementation

The branch preserves RED regressions for credential-bearing PostgreSQL URI/keyword conninfo and malformed conninfo, then implements the narrow boundary with Psycopg/libpq conninfo_to_dict() rather than ad-hoc DSN rewriting. It documents the transition to standard libpq authentication mechanisms outside process argv.

Current exact integration evidence

Freshly revalidated after protected streaming PR #177 integrated:

  • protected main: 0052c00f31b404ef8b328f3175e3fe1245afc7c2;
  • exact contributor head: 035d45e36879dd9fd723b84d2cfd85383d7ee1fd;
  • GitHub reports Ready, mergeable, base exactly the current protected main, with the source delta still limited to pg_llm_batch/cli.py, tests/test_cli_dsn_argv_security.py, and docs/doctoring/bootstrap-dsn-precedence.md;
  • the current ruleset requires zero approving reviews but does require all review threads resolved; the only returned CodeRabbit thread is resolved;
  • the exact-head CodeRabbit status is success;
  • repository CI, Security Scan, SAST Semgrep, and Release Acceptance for this exact head are currently queued. Their queued state is not acceptance and they must reach terminal success before merge.

The exact head was refreshed by a non-destructive merge of the protected #177 result; no stale/predecessor evidence transfers across that base movement.

Merge boundary

Merge only when this unchanged exact head satisfies every live required workflow, Python 3.10/3.12/3.14, exact 100% owned production statement/branch coverage and public docstrings, security/SAST/package/provenance/release acceptance, zero valid unresolved findings, live-base mergeability, and every approval requirement actually imposed by the live ruleset. Do not treat queued, pending, skipped, absent, neutral, stale-head/base, predecessor, status-only, synthetic, author-only, rate-limited, infrastructure-only, or failed evidence as success.

Refs #117.

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

@seonghobae, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 89 minutes

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

CLI --dsn 입력을 libpq 형식으로 검증한다. 자격 증명 포함 DSN과 malformed conninfo를 거부한다. 허용된 selector는 원문을 유지한다. 오류에는 입력값을 포함하지 않는다. 관련 보안 규칙과 회귀 테스트를 추가했다.

Changes

CLI DSN 보안

Layer / File(s) Summary
DSN 허용 규칙과 보안 경계
docs/doctoring/bootstrap-dsn-precedence.md
자격 증명 없는 URI, keyword conninfo, service= selector만 허용하도록 규정했다. 자격 증명 포함 DSN과 malformed conninfo의 비노출 거부 동작을 문서화했다.
CLI 검증기와 보안 회귀 테스트
pg_llm_batch/cli.py, tests/test_cli_dsn_argv_security.py
_validate_cli_dsnconninfo_to_dict()로 입력을 검증한다. 비밀번호, passfile, SSL 키, OAuth 비밀값을 포함한 DSN을 거부한다. 허용된 입력의 원문 보존, 민감한 값의 출력 방지, serve-healthz 호스트 동작을 테스트한다.

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

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to 16973

The change blocks credential-bearing PostgreSQL DSNs from process arguments while preserving credential-free selectors. The PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner awareness that the updated rollback contract still needs the required README, operator-guide, architecture, ADR, and CHANGELOG documentation.

나머지 민감한 DSN 키도 회귀 테스트에 추가하십시오.

현재 매개변수 목록은 passwordpassfile만 검사합니다. CLI_DSN_SENSITIVE_PARAMETERSsslkey, sslpassword, oauth_client_secret도 검사하십시오. 이후 변경에서 해당 키가 차단 목록에서 빠지면 private-key 또는 OAuth secret이 argv로 허용될 수 있습니다.

Control-plane evidence for exact current head 16973edf54d56540b7bd1d52cefd8113c1d3d5a2:

  • Exact-head Strix on predecessor 035d45e36879dd9fd723b84d2cfd85383d7ee1fd produced a valid HIGH finding on the changed CLI surface: serve-healthz --host defaults to 0.0.0.0.
  • A focused RED regression was added first at current head 16973edf54d56540b7bd1d52cefd8113c1d3d5a2, requiring a direct CLI invocation to default to 127.0.0.1 while preserving explicit --host 0.0.0.0 for container callers. The unchanged production parser still defaults to 0.0.0.0, so this head is intentionally not acceptance evidence.
  • The subsequent narrow production mutation (pg_llm_batch/cli.py: loopback default) was blocked by OpenAI platform safety before GitHub mutation. Per repository control-plane policy, that exact mutation was not retried through Git Data/raw API/alternate surfaces.
  • A fast-forward compensating test-file revert was then attempted so the branch would not remain intentionally RED; that separate GitHub mutation was also blocked by platform safety. No force-push, history rewrite, gate weakening, or protected-main write was attempted.

Treat this head as control-plane-blocked and non-mergeable until a later fresh run can either apply the root-cause fix normally or add an ordinary compensating commit. Predecessor checks/reviews do not transfer.
