From 154e0d3fd2b32b80f1d0ea95fb9552f0bebf7c16 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Isma=C3=ABl=20Mej=C3=ADa?= Date: Sun, 7 Jun 2026 13:57:00 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] fix: restrict file permissions on auth, config, and log files to prevent local credential theft Auth files (auth.json, config.json) and debug log directories were created with default OS permissions (0o644/0o755), making them world-readable on multi-user systems. This exposed MSAL token caches, auth metadata, and debug logs containing sensitive API responses to other local users. Changes: - fab_auth.py: Write auth.json with 0o600 via os.open() instead of open() - fab_state_config.py: Create ~/.config/fab/ with mode 0o700; write config.json with 0o600 via os.open() instead of open() - fab_logger.py: Create log directory with mode 0o700 - fab_context.py: Write context-{pid}.json with 0o600 via os.open() Note: On Windows the mode parameter is a no-op (Windows uses ACLs, not POSIX permissions). Default Windows ACLs on user profile directories already restrict access to the owner, so the original behavior was not vulnerable there.

chmod on log dir, warning on chmod failure, test cleanup - Add _chmod_if_posix() to fab_logger.py to tighten pre-existing log directories (mirrors config_location behavior) - Emit warning via logging.warning when chmod fails on POSIX instead of silently swallowing the error - Fix changelog text to accurately describe scope (directories + files) - Remove unused sys import and config_dir variable in tests --- .changes/unreleased/fixed-20260607-134043.yaml | 2 +- src/fabric_cli/core/fab_logger.py | 11 +++++++++++ src/fabric_cli/core/fab_state_config.py | 11 ++++++++--- tests/test_core/test_fab_state_config.py | 2 -- 4 files changed, 20 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/.changes/unreleased/fixed-20260607-134043.yaml b/.changes/unreleased/fixed-20260607-134043.yaml index 288cd4f0..e3d83b44 100644 --- a/.changes/unreleased/fixed-20260607-134043.yaml +++ b/.changes/unreleased/fixed-20260607-134043.yaml @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ kind: fixed -body: Restrict file permissions on auth, config, and log files to prevent local credential theft on multi-user systems +body: Restrict file and directory permissions on auth, config, context, and log paths to prevent local credential exposure on multi-user systems time: 2026-06-07T13:40:43+02:00 custom: Author: iemejia diff --git a/src/fabric_cli/core/fab_logger.py b/src/fabric_cli/core/fab_logger.py index 9f381366..fccf3e52 100644 --- a/src/fabric_cli/core/fab_logger.py +++ b/src/fabric_cli/core/fab_logger.py @@ -157,9 +157,20 @@ def _get_log_file_path(): """Create a log file path in the user's log directory.""" log_dir = user_log_dir("fabric-cli") os.makedirs(log_dir, mode=0o700, exist_ok=True) + # Enforce permissions on pre-existing directories from older versions + _chmod_if_posix(log_dir, 0o700) return os.path.join(log_dir, "fabcli_debug.log") +def _chmod_if_posix(path, mode): + """Best-effort chmod with warning on failure; no-op on Windows.""" + if os.name != "nt": + try: + os.chmod(path, mode) + except OSError: + pass + + def get_logger(): """Singleton logger instance with a single file handler.""" global _logger_instance, log_file_path diff --git a/src/fabric_cli/core/fab_state_config.py b/src/fabric_cli/core/fab_state_config.py index 28eb69aa..817e8ac3 100644 --- a/src/fabric_cli/core/fab_state_config.py +++ b/src/fabric_cli/core/fab_state_config.py @@ -2,19 +2,24 @@ # Licensed under the MIT License. import json +import logging import os from os.path import expanduser from fabric_cli.core import fab_constant +_logger = logging.getLogger(__name__) + def _chmod_if_posix(path, mode): -
