fix(logging): redact raw cache keys on all log paths (LAB-304) - #264
fix(logging): redact raw cache keys on all log paths (LAB-304)#26427Bslash6 wants to merge 8 commits into
Conversation
Raw cache keys embed caller-supplied tenant/user identifiers and were still logged verbatim on every non-cache_set error path (CWE-532). Redact once inside FeatureOrchestrator.handle_cache_error and log_cache_operation so all callers — current and future — are covered by construction; the three LAB-109 cache_set call sites now pass the raw key and the sink emits the identical blake2b digest as before. Sentinels (unknown, <generation_failed>) stay readable.
Expert-panel review of the sink change found direct logger calls that bypass FeatureOrchestrator and still logged raw keys: wrapper.py TTL- refresh/lock/deserialize/interop-delete paths, cache_handler.py backend error paths, SimpleLogger cache_hit/miss/stored/invalidated, and the L1 TTL-skip debug line. All now redact. redact_cache_key moves to the hash_utils leaf module (verbatim; re- exported from cache_handler) so backends/provider.py and l1_cache.py can use it without a circular import through cache_handler. Existing tests asserting raw keys in log messages updated to assert the digest instead — the bare-key-vs-:lock-suffix contract in test_wrapper_lock_bare_key.py survives via digest inequality.

WalkthroughCache-key logging and backend error text now use fixed-length BLAKE2b redaction. The change covers cache operations, errors, locks, invalidation, deserialisation, and TTL refresh paths. Tests verify raw-key suppression and digest consistency. ChangesCache-key redaction
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This change improves cache-key redaction coverage, but the current implementation can still expose raw keys through Memcached exception text, and its unkeyed digests may be reversible for predictable tenant or user identifiers; it also risks changing approved digest correlation in direct logging. These security and logging-correctness issues should be fixed before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

…304)
cache_operation() called redact_cache_key() bare, so a key that had already
been redacted upstream got hashed a second time and emitted a different digest
than FeatureOrchestrator produced for the same key — the two sinks could not be
joined in a log query. Recognised sentinels ("unknown", "<generation_failed>")
were hashed into opaque digests for the same reason.
The _redact_key_for_log policy moved from decorators/orchestrator.py to
hash_utils.py as redact_key_for_log(), beside redact_cache_key(). logging.py
already imported that leaf module, so both sinks now share one implementation
rather than logging.py importing the decorator package (wrong direction) or
growing a second copy that drifts. orchestrator keeps a module-level alias, so
existing callers and tests are unaffected; its now-unused re and
redact_cache_key imports are dropped. The format-pinning regex now lives next to
the function that emits the format, retiring the cross-module docstring
reference.
cache_hit/cache_miss/cache_stored all funnel through cache_operation, so the
single call site covers them.
Coverage: TestStructuredLoggerCacheOperationRedaction pins raw-key redaction,
pre-redacted pass-through, both sentinels, cross-sink digest agreement, and the
empty-key case. Verified they fail against the previous implementation (3 of the
6 discriminate; the rest hold in both).
CodeRabbit-Resolved: logging.py:259:Preserve approved redacted values
…(LAB-304) Four-agent panel (high stakes) on the previous commit. Findings applied: REGRESSION I introduced: health.py logs its checks with cache_key="system", a component label and not a key. Routing cache_operation through the guard began hashing it, so a readable operator field became <redacted:a99cf92e...> and any dashboard filtering on it would have silently stopped matching after upgrade. "system" joins the sentinel set; the parametrized sentinel test reads the set, so it now covers it. Docstring told a lie: it claimed idempotency held "for a caller handing an already-redacted value straight to SimpleLogger", but provider.py's four SimpleLogger methods called bare redact_cache_key() and would double-hash. Made the claim true rather than deleting it — those four sinks now use redact_key_for_log. Same leaf module, no new import edge. Added a line steering future callers: prefer the guard at any sink, bare only where input is known-raw. Missed CWE-532 channel, pre-existing: l1_cache.py logged the raw key in the oversized-value debug line while its sibling eighteen lines above was already redacted. This is the same log cachekit-ts redacted in LAB-1768. test_digest_matches_the_orchestrator_sink was tautological — it compared logging.py's output against the very function logging.py calls, so it would pass even if the two sinks diverged, the one thing it exists to catch. It now drives FeatureOrchestrator.handle_cache_error for real and asserts both sinks emit the same digest. Cut the _redact_key_for_log alias: a leading-underscore name has no external consumers to protect, and all four callers are in-tree. SENTINEL_KEYS reverted to _SENTINEL_KEYS — public API surface on a published SDK is not worth one test's convenience; the test imports the private name, as it already does elsewhere in this repo. Panel REBUTTED CodeRabbit's keyed-HMAC demand; rationale is on the PR. Not addressed here, raised for separate triage: pymemcache exception text embeds the raw key and rides the __cause__ traceback (str(e) is redacted, the traceback is not); mask_sensitive is a dead knob since this PR removed its only reader; SECURITY.md still claims coverage broader than the sweep proves for the redis/file/cachekitio backends.
Rebutting the keyed-digest finding (SECURITY.md:192)
Rebutted. Put to a four-agent expert panel at high stakes (the project's mandatory crypto/protocol gate); all reviewers independently reached REBUT. Reasons, strongest first: 1. The secret has no owner. This is a public PyPI library, not a service. Unset, it must either fail open to the unkeyed digest — security theatre — or fail closed and break every existing deployment on 2. It destroys the property the digest exists for. The digest is a log-correlation token, not a confidentiality primitive. Its whole job is that one cache key renders as one value across processes, hosts and restarts — the invariant this PR just spent a refactor establishing between the orchestrator and logging sinks. A per-instance key makes digests diverge exactly where operators need them to match, and breaks this PR's explicit byte-identical-with-pre-fix-logs contract. 3. The threat model does not hold. The finding assumes an attacker hashes candidate tenant IDs. A cache key is 4. Precedent. The identical trade was panel-ratified in the sibling SDK (cachekit-ts, LAB-1768) as an eyes-open accepted residual, for the same operator-matching reason. Digest strength is a cross-SDK protocol decision — if it is to be revisited it belongs in One correction worth recording: the SDKs are not currently digest-compatible — Python emits Applied from the same panelThe panel did find real defects, fixed in b05c7ee:

Problem
Cache keys embed caller-supplied tenant/user identifiers. LAB-109 (#217) redacted them on the
cache_setfailure paths and LAB-381 (#235) covered the SWR debug logs — but the shared error sink and a long tail of direct logger calls still logged the raw key on every other path (CWE-532).Fix
Sink-central redaction (by construction):
FeatureOrchestrator.handle_cache_errorredacts once at the top — both the structured log and the backwards-compat warning are covered for every caller, current and future.log_cache_operationredactskwargs["key"]in place (it was splatted raw into the structured payload even where the named field was safe)._redact_key_for_log()guard: sentinels (unknown,<generation_failed>) and pre-redacted values pass through readable — which also makes the sink idempotent.cache_setcall sites now pass the raw key; the sink emits the byte-identical blake2b digest (pinned by test), so log correlation with pre-fix logs is preserved.Tree-wide sweep (expert-panel findings): direct logger calls bypassing the sink now redact —
wrapper.py(TTL-refresh, lock timeout/failure, L1 deserialize, interop/L2 delete),cache_handler.py(backend get/set/delete/mmap/invalidate error paths),SimpleLogger.cache_hit/miss/stored/invalidated, andl1_cache.py's TTL-skip debug line.Structural:
