This is a follow-up to k8snetworkplumbingwg/multus-cni/#1512 for issues found while carrying the Kubernetes and Go bump into downstream.

The dependency verifier reported vendor drift for vendor/k8s.io/api/scheduling/v1alpha2/generated.proto after go mod tidy and go mod vendor. Re-running those commands on this upstream branch produced no vendor diff, so no vendor file change is included.

The security scan reported path traversal findings in kubeconfig_generator and multus-daemon because CLI-controlled paths were passed directly to file operations. This change validates those paths, requires absolute paths, rejects empty, relative, and parent-directory paths, and uses os.Root with local file names for file reads, writes, creates, and removes.

Commands run:

go mod tidy

go mod vendor

go test ./pkg/cmdutils ./cmd/kubeconfig_generator

GOOS=linux go test -c -o /private/tmp/multus-daemon.test ./cmd/multus-daemon

podman run --rm -v /Users/misalunk/go/src/github.com/k8snetworkplumbingwg/multus-cni:/workspace:Z -w /workspace -e GOCACHE=/tmp/go-build-cache -e GOFLAGS=-mod=vendor registry.ci.openshift.org/ocp/builder:rhel-9-golang-1.26-openshift-5.0 go test ./pkg/cmdutils ./cmd/kubeconfig_generator ./cmd/multus-daemon

Walkthrough

The change adds rooted filesystem helpers for path validation and os.Root operations. The Multus daemon and kubeconfig generator use them for configuration access, file copying, kubeconfig generation, cleanup, and resource closure. Tests cover valid paths, unsafe paths, generated content, and permissions.

Changes

Rooted filesystem path handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Rooted file abstraction and validation
pkg/cmdutils/utils.go, pkg/cmdutils/utils_test.go
Adds RootedFile and RootedDir, constructors, lifecycle methods, path validation, and tests for valid and unsafe inputs.
Multus daemon rooted configuration operations
cmd/multus-daemon/main.go, cmd/multus-daemon/main_test.go
Reads daemon configuration and copies user-provided configuration through rooted handles. Tests cover successful operations, defaults, and rejected paths.
Kubeconfig rooted output lifecycle
cmd/kubeconfig_generator/main.go, cmd/kubeconfig_generator/main_test.go
Resolves paths after flag parsing, writes and removes kubeconfig files through rooted handles, propagates write errors, and tests generated content and permissions.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to ab935

The PR hardens CLI-controlled file-path handling and is generally mergeable, but owner follow-up is needed because tests do not yet verify the create-file permission path or rewriting an existing kubeconfig with permissive permissions.

@miheer can you fix coderabbit's comment?

Then I thing we're good to merge the PR.

SIGKILL is delivered directly by the kernel and cannot be trapped by signal.Notify. Keeping it in the signal list made it look like the kubeconfig cleanup path could run after kill -9, which is not possible.

Remove SIGKILL from the kubeconfig generator signal handler so it only waits for signals that the process can actually receive.

Why are we still using os.* calls here. "os.Stat(bootstrapConfig)". Shouldn't we have a unified way to access the FS and not a mix of os. and filepath.*

Good point. I updated this to use the same rooted filesystem pattern for the remaining CLI paths in kubeconfig_generator.

Specifically:

  1. Reused NewRootedFile for bootstrap-config
  2. Added NewRootedDir for certdir
  3. Replaced the direct os.Stat calls with Root.Stat

So kubeconfig, bootstrap-config, and certdir are now all validated through cmdutils before filesystem access.

Good catch. I updated this in a separate commit.

The kubeconfig write path now uses writeKubeconfig(), which opens the file through the rooted path and immediately defers fp.Close(). That way the file is closed even if template parsing or execution returns an error.

I also added a focused test for the kubeconfig write helper.

miheer added 2 commits August 13, 2026 09:40
The kubeconfig generator already used os.Root operations for the generated kubeconfig file, but bootstrap-config and certdir were still checked with direct os.Stat calls on CLI-provided values. That left the command with mixed filesystem handling after the path traversal hardening.

Add a RootedDir helper in cmdutils and use it with the existing RootedFile helper in cmd/kubeconfig_generator. The command now validates kubeconfig, bootstrap-config, and certdir through cmdutils, checks bootstrap-config and certdir with Root.Stat, and passes cleaned paths to client-go and the cert manager setup.

After this change, CLI-controlled paths in kubeconfig_generator follow one os.Root-based access pattern while existing client setup still receives the absolute path strings it expects.

Commands run:

GOCACHE=/private/tmp/multus-go-cache GOFLAGS=-mod=vendor go test ./pkg/cmdutils ./cmd/kubeconfig_generator

git diff --check
The kubeconfig generator opened the output kubeconfig file and only closed it after template execution. If template parsing or execution returned an error, the command would leave the write path before the explicit close.

Move kubeconfig file creation and template rendering into writeKubeconfig. The helper opens the file through the rooted path, defers fp.Close immediately after a successful open, returns close errors, and lets main handle the final fatal log. Add a focused test for the generated kubeconfig content and file mode.

After this change, the generated kubeconfig file is closed on success and on write-path errors while keeping the os.Root based filesystem access.

The kubeconfig writer opened the output file with mode 0600, but os.OpenFile only applies that mode when it creates a new file. If the kubeconfig already existed with a more permissive mode, truncating and rewriting it could keep the old mode.

Call fp.Chmod(0600) after opening the rooted kubeconfig file so new and existing kubeconfig files both end up private. Extend the kubeconfig generator test to start with an existing 0644 file and verify writeKubeconfig resets it to 0600.

Also report cleanup errors in the new rooted-path tests instead of discarding errors from Close and RemoveAll.

After this change, generated kubeconfigs are forced to mode 0600 when rewritten, and cleanup failures in the affected tests fail the test instead of being ignored.

@miheer Could you look at the code rabbit suggestions?

miheer added 2 commits August 19, 2026 09:00
The kubeconfig generator test was added as a plain testing.T test while the surrounding cmd and pkg tests use Ginkgo v2 and Gomega. CodeRabbit flagged the mixed style and the testing.T cleanup/assertion usage.

Convert the test to a Ginkgo suite with Describe and It, replace t.Cleanup and t.Fatalf checks with DeferCleanup and Gomega expectations, and keep the existing coverage for rewriting a permissive kubeconfig as mode 0600.

After this change, the kubeconfig generator test follows the same Ginkgo/Gomega test style as the rest of the repo while still checking cleanup errors and kubeconfig file permissions.

Commands run:

GOCACHE=/private/tmp/multus-go-cache GOFLAGS=-mod=vendor go test ./pkg/cmdutils ./cmd/kubeconfig_generator

git diff --check
The kubeconfig generator test covered rewriting an existing kubeconfig with a permissive mode, but it did not also cover the create path where writeKubeconfig creates a missing file.

Keep the existing rewrite coverage and add a separate Ginkgo case that calls writeKubeconfig without precreating the kubeconfig. The new case verifies the generated kubeconfig contents and confirms the newly created file has mode 0600.

After this change, the test covers both kubeconfig creation and rewrite behavior for the private file mode guarantee.

Why do we have dot imports? Can't we have named imports?

Fixed in a separate commit.

I replaced the Ginkgo/Gomega dot imports with named imports and removed the dot-import lint exception.

So instead of importing the packages with "." and calling the helpers directly, the test now uses explicit package names, for example:

ginkgo.Describe(...)
ginkgo.It(...)
ginkgo.DeferCleanup(...)
gomega.Expect(...)
gomega.HaveOccurred(...)
gomega.Succeed(...)

This keeps the test behavior the same, but makes it clear where each test helper comes from.

The kubeconfig generator test used dot imports for Ginkgo and Gomega. That made the test less explicit and required a local dot-import lint exception in the new file.

Replace the dot imports with named Ginkgo and Gomega imports, qualify the test framework calls, and remove the dot-import lint exception. The test behavior remains the same.

After this change, the kubeconfig generator test still uses Ginkgo v2 and Gomega, but the imported test APIs are explicit at each call site.
