fix(secrets): redact only the value, so a redacted JSON body is still JSON - #703
Merged
Conversation
… JSON
SecretRedactionFilter's generic rule runs over the raw request TEXT and
matched the key's closing quote, the colon AND the value's opening quote,
then replaced all three along with the value:
{"modelName":"x","apiKey":"sk-ant-…"} -> {"modelName":"x","apiKey=<REDACTED>"}
{"token":12345678,"n":1} -> {"token=<REDACTED>,"n":1}
— a bare string where a key/value pair was. The sk-… and Bearer … rules
replace only the value and leave the document valid; this one did not,
and it runs last, so it re-mangled what those had already redacted.
Every reader of a redacted body parses it, and both of the Manager's
failed silently (surfaced from EDDI-Manager#173): the approval diff fell
back to a raw-text comparison and showed the whole stored config as
deleted, and detectEscalationFlags runs every capability-grant check
behind a JSON.parse — so a request that embedded a credential AND granted
dynamicAgents.allowCreation warned about the credential alone.
Two more leaks in the same rule, found while fixing that one:
- The value class stops at ',', whitespace, ';', '{', '}' and ']', so a
secret CONTAINING one was redacted only up to it and the tail survived.
- The closing quote was "any quote" rather than the opening one, so
{"password":"abcdefgh'xyz"} terminated at the apostrophe and published
the rest — and {"password":"it's-a-secret"} was cut to two characters
at that same apostrophe, fell under the 8-char floor, and was not
redacted at all.
The generic rule becomes three, each replacing the value and nothing else:
- a quoted value runs to its closing quote, matched as a BACKREFERENCE to
the opening one, which closes both leaks above and lets the value class
admit the other quote character;
- a value with no quotes of its own takes the key's quote style, so
{"token":12345678} stays parseable as {"token":"<REDACTED>"};
- anything that is not JSON (query strings, log lines) keeps its
separator and invents no quotes.
NOT_ALREADY_REDACTED stops the later rules stripping the sk-ant- /
Bearer prefix an earlier rule kept — information an approver uses. It is
anchored to the START of the value on purpose: a "marker appears
anywhere" guard reads as more cautious and is leakier, skipping
{"secret":"the key sk-ant-<REDACTED> is here"} and handing anyone who
knows the marker a bypass via {"password":"my<REDACTED>pass"}.
The ${vault:…} carve-out is now a stated lookahead rather than a side
effect of the value class excluding braces, since the quoted rule runs
past them.
Pinned as known limits rather than fixed: an escaped quote inside a value
ends it early ('\"' is a terminator in an escaped-JSON body and a literal
in a plain one, resolved in favour of the escaped body because the other
reading eats the document), and '&' is still not a value delimiter
(adding it would cut short every secret containing one elsewhere).
SecretRedactionFilterTest grows from 14 to 40 cases, including parsing
every redacted result with Jackson and a parameterised sweep over all six
delimiters.

…escaped-quote leak
PR review (CodeRabbit), two Critical findings, both real — reproduced
with a probe before changing anything.
A redacted PREFIX is not a redacted value. The guard was anchored to the
start of the value, which is the mirror of the bug it replaced: the
sk-ant- rule's own class stops at a delimiter, so
{"apiKey":"sk-ant-abcdefghijklmnopqrst,SECRET-TAIL"}
becomes {"apiKey":"sk-ant-<REDACTED>,SECRET-TAIL"} and the guard then
skipped it, publishing the tail. notAlreadyRedacted() now takes the
lookahead that ends the calling rule's value, so the redacted form has to
be the whole value. A partly-redacted one is taken over and replaced
entirely, losing the sk-ant- hint in that case — intended, since the hint
is not worth a leak.
The escaped-quote case was a leak, not an acceptable limit. I had pinned
`"he said \"x\" SECRET"` -> `"<REDACTED>\"x\" SECRET"` as a documented
trade-off; it is a partial publication of a secret and that framing was
wrong. `\"` is a terminator in an escaped-JSON body and an escaped quote
inside the value in a plain one — closing at the first candidate leaks,
closing at the last eats the document. The value is now lazy and may
cross an escape, with the closing quote required to be followed by
something that ends a JSON value. That picks correctly in both readings:
the escaped body closes at its `\"` because `}` follows, the plain one
carries on past `\"x\"` because a letter does.
Also corrects the changelog's description of the guard, which still
described the first draft's marker-anywhere lookahead (CodeRabbit, minor)
— documentation that would have invited the bypass straight back in.
Six regression cases added, including a parameterised sweep over the
delimiters the sk-ant- rule stops at. 46 cases total.
…x the stack overflow it found
The rule set's behaviour depends on the key's name, the quote style, what
the value contains and what follows it. Every leak found on this branch
was in a combination that looked covered, so the shapes are now generated
rather than chosen: 11 credential key spellings x 21 value shapes x 7
placements, 1692 cases, each asserting that a planted canary does not
survive, the output still parses as JSON, an unrelated sibling field is
untouched, and redaction is idempotent.
A negative control runs the same shapes under a key with no credential
name and asserts the document comes back byte-identical. Without it the
whole suite is satisfied by a filter that redacts everything.
The adversarial case failed on the first run: the quoted rule's
(?:A|B){8,}? overflowed the stack. Java matches a quantified GROUP by
recursion, one frame per repetition, so it died at ~500 escaped quotes —
and on a 200000-character value with no escapes in it at all. A long
credential would have thrown instead of being redacted. That is a
regression the lazy quantifier introduced and precisely what this file's
possessive quantifiers exist to prevent.
So the quoted rule is no longer a regex. QUOTED_VALUE_START matches only
up to the value's opening quote, and redactQuotedValues scans forward in
a plain loop. The three constraints that made the pattern unexpressible
become readable code: findClosingQuote takes the first quote matching the
opening one that is followed by something ending a JSON value, and
shouldRedact states the length floor, the vault carve-out and the
already-redacted check outright. Same semantics, no recursion, and the
adversarial inputs now finish in single-digit milliseconds.
A Jazzer @fuzztest covers crash-freedom and idempotency on arbitrary
input, following the PathNavigatorFuzzTest pattern. No ClusterFuzzLite
wiring needed — build.sh names its targets explicitly.

…the vault exemption whole-value
A cold review of the branch plus Copilot's review, verified with a probe
before touching anything. Seven defects, three of them leaks, from one
decision: findClosingQuote chose the terminator by what FOLLOWED a
candidate quote. That is the wrong question.
{"password":"abcdefgh\",SECRET"} escaped quote + comma read as the
terminator; tail published, at
every nesting depth
apiKey: "x" to host "y" no value-ender after x", so the scan
ran on to y" and ate the host name
pretty-printed nested body \r\n after the inner \" defeated
the check; the scan ran to the
outer close and destroyed the inner
document and the sk-ant- hint — the
original approval-card shape
{"apiKey": "abcdefgh SECRET truncated; fell to the loose rule,
which stopped at the space
The right question is how the quote is ESCAPED. The opening quote's
backslash count is the nesting depth — 0 plain, 1 carried in a string
field, 3 carried in that — and the terminator is the next quote at the
same depth: (b+1)/(opening+1) a whole odd number. A whole even number is
an escaped quote inside the value, whatever follows it; not dividing
means the enclosing string closed first. One rule, all seven, depth two
for free. An unterminated value is redacted to the end of the input.
Copilot's second finding: the ${vault:…} exemption was a prefix check,
so ${vault:key}SECRET-TAIL passed through. The probe showed the same
bypass pre-existing in both unquoted rules, whose value class stops at {
and matched nothing at all. Every exemption is now a whole-reference
match — shouldRedact uses SecretReference.compiledPattern(), adopted in
AgentSetupService over the contains-style check for this exact reason,
and the unquoted rules carry an optional possessive reference prefix so
reference-plus-tail is replaced whole while a bare reference survives.
The invariant suite grows from 1692 to 4791 cases: twelve new value
shapes, a placement among other credential fields, a Carrier enum that
wraps every key x shape plain / nested / nested-pretty / nested-twice
and parses every layer of the result, and every key x shape truncated
before its closing quote. 4855 cases across both suites, all green.

…e scanner for real
A cold review plus Copilot's review, each finding reproduced with a
Jackson-built probe before anything changed; then structure-aware Jazzer
fuzzing with the filter instrumented, which found nine more. Each is
pinned as a regression test or a checked-in seed.
The review round. findClosingQuote decided the terminator by what
FOLLOWED a candidate quote. Wrong question: an escaped quote followed by
a comma read as the terminator and published the tail (at every depth);
free text `apiKey: "x" to host "y"` ate the host; a pretty-printed nested
body — the original approval-card shape — lost its inner document and its
sk-ant- hint. The opening quote's escaping is the nesting depth and the
terminator is the next quote at that depth: (b+1)/(escaping+1) a whole
odd number. Copilot: the vault exemption was startsWith, so
${vault:key}TAIL passed; the same bypass pre-existed in both unquoted
rules, whose class stops at '{'. Every exemption is now a whole-reference
match via SecretReference.compiledPattern(), and the unquoted rules take
an optional possessive reference prefix.
The fuzzing round, in the order found:
- test oracle: Jazzer plants the canary in the post-document tail;
- an unterminated apostrophe value inside a JSON string ran "redact to
the end" through the enclosing close;
- a value opened three deep that closed on the enclosing bare quote had
three backslashes stripped from that quote (escapingOf: the lowest set
bit of b+1, minus one, read off the CLOSING quote);
- `SECRET:'SECRET:'<long>'` — the first field's under-floor value's close
was the second field's open; resume inside an under-floor value;
- three idempotency failures in the apostrophe bound, each a
what-follows-the-quote test that a previous pass had changed;
- an apostrophe opened in one string and closed in another at a
different nesting level ate the brace between, in strict JSON — so an
apostrophe value now ends at the first double quote of any escaping.
That reverses an earlier decision and is the status quo on the
Python-repr-with-a-quote leak (the old rule stopped there too); it is
what makes the scan JSON-safe at every depth and idempotent: a pass
never removes a quote;
- an exempt vault reference was searched INSIDE and part-redacted;
exempt values are tokens, the search resumes after them;
- a key NAMED `token:` read its own colon as the separator and its
closing quote as a value's opening; the loose rule drops its now
redundant trailing quote group, and the scan skips the one shape
where the key-close group is empty, the name sits directly inside a
quoted key, and the supposed opening quote is followed by a separator.
Oracle scoped honestly: no exception on any input; on a JSON carrier
the output parses and a second pass changes nothing. Not promised on
text that is not JSON — where an apostrophe may legitimately close far
away — and a second pass there can only over-redact.
After: 11M structured + 4.2M arbitrary executions in eight minutes each,
zero findings; every earlier finding had arrived inside three. The
arbitrary-input target gets a seed corpus so its regression run reaches
the scanner; discovered inputs are kept as seeds; failure messages spell
out control characters; .cifuzz-corpus/ (Jazzer's scratch) is ignored.
CodeRabbit's re-review: assertTimeoutPreemptively(30s) replaces the
wall-clock assertion, one shared ObjectMapper, ordered(...) throughout.
A dedicated CI fuzz job is not added — the ClusterFuzzLite guard and
build.sh hard-code utils/, and the filter now depends on secrets/model.
Matrix: 11 keys x 33 shapes x 8 placements, every key x shape through
four carriers, every key x shape truncated. 4880 cases across both
suites plus 15 seeds, all green.

…t whitespace
CodeRabbit's third review refused a leak I had documented, and was right to.
`{'password': 'pa"ss…'}` is a Python repr real logs carry, and "the rule this
replaced leaked here too" is not a reason to keep leaking.
What the limit protected was narrower than the rule: an apostrophe value inside a
JSON string must not cross that string's end. Outside a JSON document — a Python
repr, a shell export — it has no such constraint. The discriminator is per MESSAGE
and it is JSON-ness, because that is what redaction provably preserves, so a second
pass decides the same way and the filter stays idempotent. A per-position decision
reads as more precise and is not stable: a free apostrophe value may CONTAIN double
quotes, redaction deletes them, and the next pass counts differently — a fuzzer
broke that version in seconds. "One JSON document" means exactly one ROOT VALUE;
Jackson's streaming parser accepts a root value sequence otherwise, and the test's
own carrier check had to be tightened the same way.
The blind fuzzer then found the last one: `"----------------token:"` plus 36 tabs,
a whole JSON string whose closing quote reads as a value's opening quote and whose
"value" is the whitespace after it. isKeyNameEndingInASeparator cannot see it — it
looks for a separator ahead of the quote and there is none. A blank value is now
never redacted: whitespace is not a secret, so redacting it can only destroy
structure. It joins the under-floor branch, so its text stays live.
Also taken from the review: the backward key-name walk is bounded at 256 characters.
Verified: checkstyle clean; 5 782 cases across both suites; the structured fuzzer
9.8M executions and the blind one 3.3M, both with zero findings. Three discovered
inputs are checked in as named regression seeds.
…cape the tab Reworking the apostrophe test merged two cases into one and dropped the plain `password='abcdefgh SURVIVING-TAIL, and more'` shape — the one that says a value with a space and a comma in it is still redacted whole. Restored as its own test. The blank-value regression carried a literal tab into the source. Same string, written as `\t`.

…okens
`assertValidJson` used `readTree`, which stops at the end of the first root value
and ignores whatever follows — so it called `{"a":1}"junk"` intact, which is
exactly the torn carrier it exists to catch. The invariant suite's `parses()` and
the filter's own `isJsonDocument` were tightened to "exactly one root value" in the
last commit; this is the third place that had to agree, or the oracle disagrees
with the code it checks. Also assert on the redaction RESULT, not the input, in the
blank-value case — every other case in `RedactedJsonStaysJson` does.
The changelog's case counts were derived by hand and had drifted (66 and 4 882).
Read off surefire instead: 70 example cases, 6 819 invariant cases, 6 889 in all.
A derived total is wrong again the next time a shape is added.

SecretRedactionFilter's generic rule runs over the raw request text, and it matched the key's closing quote, the colon and the value's opening quote — then replaced all three along with the value ("$1=" + REDACTED). An ordinary body came back malformed:A bare string where a key/value pair was. The
sk-…andBearer …rules replace only the value and leave the document valid; this one did not — and it runs last, so it re-mangled what those had already redacted correctly.Why it matters
Every reader of a redacted body parses it, and both of the Manager's failed silently. Surfaced from EDDI-Manager#173:
PUTfell back to comparing raw text and rendered every line of the stored config as deleted against the proposed body as one added line;detectEscalationFlagsruns every capability-grant check behind aJSON.parse. So a request that embedded a credential and granteddynamicAgents.allowCreationwarned about the credential alone — and an approver reads "no second warning" as "no capability grant", which is the exact false negative that check exists to prevent.The Manager shipped a client-side repair for the mangled shape. This is the fix at the source; that repair stays as tolerance for older backends and goes inert against a fixed one.
Three defects, not one
1. The output isn't JSON — above.
2. A secret containing a delimiter was only redacted up to it. The value class stops at
,, whitespace,;,{,}and], so the tail survived into the "redacted" output:3. Found by a review pass on this branch, after a first draft. A throwaway probe printing the filter's real output for a dozen shapes found four more leaks in my own fix — two decisions I had reasoned about and dismissed as theoretical:
"password":"abcdefgh'xyz""<REDACTED>'xyz""password":"it's-a-secret""secret":"the key sk-ant-<REDACTED> is here""password":"my<REDACTED>pass"The fix
The generic rule becomes three, each replacing the value and nothing else:
{"apiKey":"sk-…"}{"apiKey":"sk-ant-<REDACTED>"}{"token":12345678}{"token":"<REDACTED>"}?api_key=…,password: …?api_key=<REDACTED>\4), not "any quote". That fixes rows 1–2 above, and lets the value class admit the other quote character — a single-quoted value containing"gets the mirror fix free.NOT_ALREADY_REDACTEDis anchored to the start of the value, fixing rows 3–4. It exists so the later rules don't strip thesk-ant-/Bearerprefix an earlier rule deliberately kept — information an approver uses, and something the old rule destroyed on every named field.${vault:…}carve-out is now explicit. It survived only as a side effect of the value class excluding braces; the quoted rule runs past braces, so it carries(?!\$\{(?:vault|eddivault):)as a stated rule — which also keeps it from being lost the next time that class is tuned.Deliberately not changed
&is still not a value delimiter. It would tidy query-string redaction but would cut short every secret containing&in every other context and leak the tail. Over-redacting a raw URL that happens to sit in a log line is the safer trade, and real request URIs never reach the filter whole —RequestRedactorscans each query parameter's value on its own. Pinned as a test so nobody "fixes" it.\"is a terminator in an escaped-JSON body and a literal in a plain one, and the filter cannot tell which it is reading. Resolved in favour of the escaped body — the other reading runs past the real end of the field and eats the document. Pinned as a known limit; still an improvement, since the old rule stopped at the first space and redacted nothing there.Verification
SecretRedactionFilterTest14 → 40 cases. Three new nested classes:RedactedJsonStaysJson(parses every redacted result with Jackson),ASecretIsRedactedInFull(parameterised over all six delimiters, plus the quote-pairing and truncated-body cases),AlreadyRedactedValuesKeepTheirPrefix(including both guard-bypass regressions).

./mvnw testreports failures inWebSearchToolTest,SafeHttpClientTest,SlackWebApiClientTest(loopback sockets — the sandbox limitation AGENTS.md documents) andDocumentationLinksTest(it scans an untracked local.history/folder). Confirmed pre-existing by stashing these changes and re-running those classes: identical failures. CI is the source of truth for them.Summary by CodeRabbit
