Keep provider credentials out of the native log and out of argv - #130
Conversation
Two places handed live credentials to anyone who asked for them. The native protocol tee wrote every provider message verbatim to ~/.openmausbot/native/<threadId>.ndjson at 0644. ACP's session/new carries mcpServers env, so the comms token and the box token were sitting in a world-readable file — the same file people attach to bug reports. It now goes through redactSecrets(), which keeps the shape (which server, which variable, how long the value was) and masks the value, and the file is written 0600. The claude driver passed the whole MCP config as an argv string, which put the Composio consumer key and the box token in `ps` output for every local user for the life of the turn. The CLI accepts a file for --mcp-config, so it now writes a 0600 temp file and removes it in settle() — including on the crash path, which is where a cleanup hung off the happy-path result would leak. The fake CLI now reads the config file back the way the real one does, so the driver tests assert on what the CLI received rather than on argv, and two of them additionally assert the secret is NOT in argv.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The PR reduces credential exposure, but it still allows deeply nested secrets to be written to logs and does not secure existing log files that may remain readable by other local users. These are high-impact security risks, so the PR is not ready to merge until both are fixed. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Enforce 0600 on existing native log files.
appendFileSync does not change the mode of an existing file. Apply chmodSync(path, 0o600) before appending, and test a pre-existing 0644 log.

Remove the depth-based redaction bypass.
At Line 33, the function returns the original object after depth 12. A credential at a deeper acyclic path remains unmasked and appendNative serializes it into the native log.
Track active object references to terminate cycles instead of returning unprocessed nested data. Update the deep-nesting test to assert that "deep-secret" is absent from the result.

Two leaks found while auditing rakazo against our own code. Both hand live credentials to anyone on the machine who asks.
1. The native protocol log was world-readable and unredacted
server/drivers/native.tsappended every provider message verbatim to~/.openmausbot/native/<threadId>.ndjsonat 0644. ACP'ssession/newcarriesmcpServersenv, soOMB_COMMS_TOKENandOGB_BOX_TOKENwere sitting in plaintext in a world-readable file — the same file a user attaches to a bug report.Messages now go through a new
redactSecrets()pass that keeps the shape and loses the value: a redacted entry still tells you a token was passed, under which name, and how long it was, which is what you actually debug "the proxy got no token" with. The file is written 0600.2. The MCP config was passed on argv
server/drivers/claude.tspushed the whole config JSON onto argv, putting the user's Composio consumer key and the box token inpsoutput for every local user for the life of the turn.The CLI accepts a file for
--mcp-config(verified against the realclaudebinary, not just the docs), so it now writes a 0600 temp file and removes it insettle()— the crash path included, which is exactly where cleanup hung off the happy-path result would leak.Tests
server/redact.test.ts— 5 tests over the masking function, using the real ACPenv:[{name,value}]wire shape and the claudemcpServersobject shape. Includes thekeyboard/monkey/hotkeycase, because a naiveincludes("key")mangles ordinary traffic.server/drivers/native.test.ts— 3 tests at the writer, so the wiring is covered and not just the function. Confirmed it fails ifredactSecretsis unhooked.server/drivers/claude.test.ts— the three tests that read the config off argv now read it from the file the fake CLI parsed back (asserting on what the CLI actually received, which is stronger), plus newnot.toContainguards on argv and a parameterised cleanup test covering the completed and crashed turn.Every new guard was mutation-checked: with the fix reverted, each one fails.
Full suite green: 46 files, 384 passed, 8 skipped.
