What problem does this PR solve?

DM can expose credentials embedded in storage URLs through logs, errors, status responses, and dmctl configuration exports.

Issue Number: ref #12909

What is changed and how it works?

  • Bump TiDB/parser for objstore, dumpling, lightning: redact storage URLs in logs and errors tidb#71844 and update the required TiKV client dependency.
  • Reuse TiDB's objstore.RedactURL as the only URL credential policy. Keep configuration/text/proxy input adapters together in dm/pkg/redact/storage.go; configuration types expose their own Redacted() copies for logging.
  • Protect DM configuration/path diagnostics, dump/load errors, status copies, and dmctl config task exports. HTTP access/forwarding logs record the path without query parameters.
  • Storage credentials follow the existing target database password handling of each output: dmctl config task hides both, while OpenAPI task and template responses return the stored data_dir. Updating a task requires a full task body, and replacing a task deletes it with keep_meta and creates it again, so clients must be able to submit back the task they read.
  • Diagnostic URL scanning handles apostrophes in URL paths and userinfo, and JSON-escaped query separators.
  • Preserve get-config YAML formatting and skip local-file cleanup for remote storage.

Password/TLS and worker business-data redaction remain in #12897. Userinfo nested in an S3/GCS endpoint parameter is not used for authentication by DM; masking it belongs to TiDB's shared RedactURL.

Check List

Tests

  • Unit tests, including a mocked storage 403, response-copy regressions, parity with TiDB's URL helper, apostrophes and JSON escapes in diagnostic text, and caller-side syncer logs:
GONOPROXY=none GOPROXY=https://proxy.golang.org GOMAXPROCS=2 go test -mod=readonly -p=1 -parallel=1 ./dm/pkg/redact ./dm/pkg/utils ./dm/pb ./dm/openapi ./dm/unit ./dm/dumpling ./dm/loader ./dm/master ./dm/worker -run 'Test(Storage|InvalidStorage|URLText|Proxy|TaskStorageResponseRedaction|AccessLogURLCredentials|ProcessErrorURLCredentials|CleanupStorageErrorRedaction|CleanRemoteDumpFiles|TaskConfigStorageResponse)' -count=1
go test -p 2 -count=1 ./dm/pkg/redact ./dm/config ./dm/openapi ./dm/pb ./dm/unit ./dm/loader
go test -p 2 -count=1 -run 'TestLoadTableStructureFrom' ./dm/syncer
git diff --check
  • OpenAPI round trips with an S3 data_dir (GET → PUT checked by Syncer.CheckCanUpdateCfg, GET → delete with keep_meta → create, template GET → PUT), run against MySQL 8.0 with failpoints enabled:
tools/bin/failpoint-ctl enable dm/master dm/master/scheduler
go test -p 2 -count=1 ./dm/master -run 'TestOpenAPIViewSuite|TestOpenAPIControllerSuite' -testify.m 'TestTaskRoundTripKeepsStorageCredentials|TestTaskAPI$|TestTaskTemplatesAPI|TestDeleteTaskKeepMeta|TestTaskController$'
tools/bin/failpoint-ctl disable dm/master dm/master/scheduler

Earlier CI passed on dec88966b: pull-build, pull-check, pull-verify, pull-unit-test-cdc, pull-dm-integration-test, pull-dm-compatibility-test, pull-syncdiff-integration-test, and all four CDC integration jobs. CI is rerunning on the latest head.

Known exceptions: next-gen DM integration fails on the shared downstream local-sort DDL limitation (also reproduced by unrelated PR #12904; handled separately). ERROR-log review still requires approval.

Questions

Will it cause performance regression or break compatibility?

No new option. Diagnostic URLs change and HTTP access logs omit queries. Like the target database password, dmctl config task output requires storage credentials to be supplied again before reuse; OpenAPI task and template responses are unchanged. Original errors/configurations are preserved; remote storage no longer falls through to local-file cleanup. Parsing/copying adds diagnostic overhead only when a log or response is produced.

Do you need to update user documentation, design documentation or monitoring documentation?

No new configuration option; no separate documentation change is included.

Release note

Fix storage credential exposure in DM diagnostics, status responses, and dmctl configuration exports, including embedded Dumpling and Lightning.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Credentials in storage and proxy URLs are now redacted from logs, errors, configuration responses, and task status results.
    • Error messages and diagnostics retain useful context, such as storage paths, while hiding sensitive URL details.
    • Access logs no longer include request query strings.
    • Cleanup skips local filesystem deletion for remote storage paths, including paths beyond S3.

Include TiDB #71844, align parser, and update the required TiKV client.
The TiDB dependency upgrade intentionally removes malformed URLs from parse errors. Assert the safe error message and ensure the input is not exposed instead of requiring the old raw URL.

Walkthrough

The change adds helpers to redact storage URLs and credentials. It applies them to configuration errors, logs, task and status responses, and proxy fields. Non-full cleanup now skips all non-local paths. The change also updates TiDB, TiDB parser, and TiKV client-go dependency versions.

Priority: Normal

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

Change: Bug fix

Possibly related issues

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review dec88

Credentials embedded in an S3 endpoint can still appear in diagnostic logs. Address that exposure before merging; the selected dependency’s vulnerability status also needs confirmation.

Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to e9819

The change reduces credential exposure without intentionally changing execution configuration or storage authority. However, an existing cleanup-error disclosure remains, exported task configurations now require credentials to be supplied before reuse, and the updated dependency’s credential-handling behavior could not be fully checked. No new privilege or service-boundary expansion was demonstrated.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — Disclosure impact follows the actual privileges of exposed storage or proxy credentials and need not be limited to one DM task’s data. The supplied evidence does not establish credential permissions, diagnostic readership, tenant isolation or environment separation, so maximum independently attackable scope cannot be quantified.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • observed — The retained Dumpling finding has a concrete residual path: cleanup failure concatenates the raw configured directory into ProcessError and sends it through ProcessResult, which downstream status handling retains. A reader of affected status or diagnostics can consequently encounter URL credentials. This construction and downstream path predate the PR; the new immediate log-field redaction does not sanitize the error message.
  • observed — A second retained Security finding concerns the selected TiDB dependency. Local evidence confirms an existing importer consumer gated by physical-load mode and Lightning prechecks, but the external implementation was unavailable. Its architecture impact and change in exposure therefore remain unresolved; the supplied commit-ancestry rationale alone does not establish vulnerable DSN behavior.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The new controls operate where configuration or process environment values become logs and exported configuration. Configuration parsing fails closed to a fixed marker, and request copies preserve execution inputs. Existing JSON exclusions for database passwords and TLS content also remain applicable to StorageConfigField’s initial serialization.
  • inferred — The deferred exact-key and proxy candidates remain proof gaps, not additional findings. Local consumers identify relay-dir as a filesystem path and sorting-dir-physical as a physical-import workspace, while pd-addr crosses into external clients. Added tests exercise malformed storage URLs, scheme-less proxies and invalid proxy ports, but cannot replace inspection of the bound upstream redactor or external address semantics.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Security-control maintenance must account for both recognized configuration keys and upstream URL-redaction behavior. Centralizing formatting reduces duplicated policy, but adding a credential-bearing field outside the recognized keys would not automatically gain protection.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — As follow-up hardening, sanitize credential-bearing context before constructing externally propagated ProcessError messages, rather than protecting only individual logger fields. This would address the pre-existing cleanup-error path without modifying the storage URL used for execution.

Explanation

The title "security(dm): redact storage credentials in diagnostics" matches the main change. The changeset redacts storage URL credentials in DM logs, errors, status responses, and config exports. It names the component (dm) and the change type (security), and it is concise and specific.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template: it has a problem statement with an issue reference (ref #12909), a detailed change description, a checklist with unit and integration test commands and a manual OpenAPI round-trip test, answers to both compatibility/documentation questions, and a release note. Two template items are not fully met: the required 'Issue Number:' line uses 'ref #12909' rather than 'close #xxx' style wording, which the template permits as a reference, and the 'What is changed' section is detailed but does not state the mechanism for each file. Neither gap blocks review. The description is mostly complete.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Redact diagnostic detail bytes before returning status.

cleanResult redacts error strings but leaves ProcessResult.Detail unchanged. Checker failures can place serialized diagnostic details in that field. If those details contain a storage URL with credentials, RedactStorageQueryStatus returns the credentials in its cloned response. Redact URL text in Detail on the clone. Apply the same check to CheckStatus.Detail. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Redact credentials inside the S3 endpoint before logging the path.

For a non-full task, this branch logs cfg.Dir even when its S3 endpoint parameter contains a credential. In the pinned TiDB version, objstore.RedactURL leaves the S3 endpoint parameter intact. For example, a URL-encoded endpoint=https://user:private-pass@host retains private-pass in this log. Redact the nested endpoint or omit that parameter in diagnostic output. Apply the same fix to the other new objstore.RedactURL log fields. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Redact password parameters in request URLs.

If a request contains ?password=private-pass, RequestURL leaves password unchanged because the key is absent from this switch. query.Encode() then puts private-pass back into the diagnostic URL.

If a YAML configuration contains extra: {1: {dir: "s3://bucket/path?secret-access-key=private-sk"}}, the numeric key causes redactConfigURL to skip the nested dir. YAMLConfigWithRedactedURL then emits the credential in diagnostic output. Traverse every value; pass an empty key for a non-string map key.

Based on learnings, configuration values that contain secrets must be redacted before they enter logs.

Response copies for get-config, OpenAPI tasks and query-status were
produced by four differently named helpers spread over three packages.
Replace them with a single Redacted method on each response type, so
callers do not need to remember a helper per type. The list helper is
dropped in favor of looping over the single-item method.

Behavior is unchanged: copies still hide storage URL credentials via
objstore.RedactURL and never modify the original objects.

encoding/json escapes '&' as &, and checker results returned as
CheckResult are JSON. TextWithRedactedURL handed such URLs to
objstore.RedactURL unchanged, so every parameter after the first was
parsed as part of the first value. When the first parameter was not
sensitive, for example region, the access key and secret key were kept
in the output, only URL-encoded.

Restore escaped separators before redaction and escape them again
afterwards, including JSON nested in a JSON string. Trailing
backslashes that escape the closing quote are kept outside the URL so
the surrounding JSON stays valid.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
ConfigFieldWithRedactedURL marshaled every config to JSON, decoded it,
walked it by field name and marshaled it again. It changed the log
format of configs that were previously printed as YAML, and cost about
450 allocations per log entry.

Add SubTaskConfig.Redacted next to TaskConfig.Redacted and log the
redacted copies with the original fields and formats. Collections are
copied item by item. A test lists directory-like config fields so that
Redacted is reviewed when a new one is added.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
TOMLConfigWithRedactedURL only served two logs, and neither needed the
raw TOML:

- CheckSubtasksCanUpdate decodes the TOML right away. Invalid TOML could
  only be logged as a placeholder anyway, so log the decoded config
  through SubTaskConfig.Redacted instead.
- The v1 metadata import only logged the raw TOML when decoding failed,
  which also produced a placeholder, and did not log the error itself.
  Log the task name and the redacted error instead.

Remove the helper, its request MarshalLogObject, and the TOML-only
branch of the config walker. YAML request redaction is kept, because
the raw request is the only record of a task config that fails
validation.

Correctness review: four findings concerning credential-redaction coverage and task-edit compatibility. URL and SDK cases were checked with isolated probes; the UI path was reviewed statically. Package tests remain unverified because the attempted run was stopped during dependency downloads.

[P1] URL extraction stops before credentials

The regex treats apostrophes as delimiters even inside valid URLs. For example:

TextWithRedactedURL("s3://bucket/customer's-dump?access-key=private-ak&secret-access-key=private-sk")

returns both credentials unchanged, while the pinned TiDB helper masks them correctly. This also reproduces inside JSON diagnostics and standard net/url.Error messages containing apostrophes in HTTP userinfo. Make extraction handle these boundaries conservatively and add regression cases.

Nice find, thanks 👍 Done in 734248c .

Just letting the scanner span ' would open a different hole: adjacent quoted URLs like ['s3://a?region=r','s3://b?secret-access-key=sk'] get merged into one URL, and the second secret ends up inside the region value. So TextWithRedactedURL now:

  • redacts URLs split at apostrophes first, as before
  • then redacts any match that still contains an apostrophe again, as a whole URL

A trailing ' is treated as a closing quote and kept outside the URL. Added regression cases for apostrophes in the path, net/url.Error userinfo, quoted YAML values, adjacent quoted URLs and JSON-escaped text.

[P1] Caller logs the same storage error without redaction

This redacted log returns the original error to Syncer.Run, which logs it again using zap.Error(err) at line 1929. Azure's listing SDK returns errors containing the complete request URL, including SAS signatures. A connection-refused probe using the pinned Azure SDK produced:

Get "http://127.0.0.1:65151/bucket?comp=list&restype=container&sig=private-sas-signature&sv=2024-11-04": dial tcp ...: connect: connection refused

AzureBlobStorage.WalkDir propagates this error through storage.CollectDirFiles. Redact the outer log too and test the complete caller path so the inner masking cannot be undone.

Right, the inner log was redacted but Run logged the very same error again. Fixed in 21afee1 .

I pulled the load-and-flush step out of Run into loadAndFlushTableStructureFromDump, so the caller-side log can be tested directly, and it now uses redact.ErrorFieldWithRedactedURL. The new test makes WalkDir return an error carrying a SAS sig and checks every log entry from that entry point.

I also went through the other places that log a storage error and return it: dumpling, loader and lightning all hand theirs to unit.NewProcessError, which already redacts, so this was the only one leaking through a caller.

[P2] Nested S3 endpoint credentials survive the shared policy

The pinned objstore.RedactURL preserves this URL, including the encoded password:

s3://bucket/path?endpoint=https%3A%2F%2Fuser%3Aprivate-password%40example.com

S3BackendOptions.Apply accepts such endpoint userinfo, so these credentials remain in diagnostic copies and configuration responses. Fix nested endpoint handling in the shared TiDB policy and update the dependency, preserving the single-policy design.

Confirmed that RedactURL keeps userinfo nested in endpoint for S3 and GCS (Azure masks the whole endpoint value). I checked what that userinfo actually exposes, though, and it is not a working credential in DM:

  • S3: against a local fake S3 with endpoint=http://user:pass@127.0.0.1:<port>, requests signed with access-key/secret-access-key carry only the SigV4 Authorization header. Go only turns URL userinfo into Basic auth when Authorization is empty, so the userinfo is never sent. Without any credentials the SDK fails at get credentials and sends no request at all.
  • GCS: same setup. With credentials-file or ADC, requests carry Authorization: Bearer <token>, again without Basic auth. Without credentials, creating the storage fails with could not find default credentials, before any request.
  • The only GCS mode that leaves Authorization empty is NoCredentials (https://github.com/pingcap/tidb/blob/03148cd4adf3f26f5c8f529b89a30c1dba690713/pkg/objstore/gcs.go#L440-L444). DM never enables it: CreateStorage passes empty options (
    func CreateStorage(ctx context.Context, path string) (storeapi.Storage, error) {
    backend, err := objstore.ParseBackend(path, nil)
    if err != nil {
    return nil, err
    }
    return objstore.New(ctx, backend, &storeapi.Options{})
    }
    ), and dumpling and lightning don't set it in the pinned TiDB revision either.

So what can leak is a string the user mistakenly put into endpoint, which DM never uses to authenticate. The real secrets (access-key, secret-access-key, session-token, Azure account-key and sas-token) are all masked already, and credentials-file is just a local path. It's still worth cleaning up, but it's log hygiene rather than a credential leak. The right place is nested-URL handling in TiDB's shared RedactURL (https://github.com/pingcap/tidb/blob/03148cd4adf3f26f5c8f529b89a30c1dba690713/pkg/objstore/parse.go#L75-L96), and I'd rather not bump the TiDB dependency again in this PR just for it 🙂

[P2] Redacted task responses break ordinary UI edits

The UI preloads its edit form directly from this task list (dm/ui/src/pages/migration/task/index.tsx:467, dm/ui/src/components/CreateOrUpdateTask/index.tsx:135-142) and submits data_dir back unchanged (CreateOrUpdateTask/index.tsx:84-109).

For an S3-backed task paused in the sync unit, changing a supported filter therefore also submits masked storage credentials. Syncer.CheckCanUpdateCfg compares LoaderConfig.Dir against the original and rejects the update as an immutable-field change. Preserve stored credentials for unchanged masked fields or add explicit credential handling to the edit flow, with a list-to-edit-to-update regression test. This finding is based on the static call-path trace; it was not reproduced against a running cluster.

Agreed, and it turned out a bit wider than the update path 🔍 Done in ed4f9b1 :

  • updateTask now calls Task.RestoreRedacted with the stored task before checking: if the submitted data_dir equals the redacted form of the stored one, the stored value is used, while a data_dir the client actually changed is kept. It runs before the checker, since the checker may access the storage.
  • DMAPUpdateTaskTemplate does the same. Templates have no update guard at all, so a GET → PUT round trip silently replaced the stored credentials with xxxxxx.
  • The converter response is no longer redacted. The YAML editor creates tasks from the converter output (
    const handleSubmit = async () => {
    const res = await convertTaskDataToConfigFile({
    task_config_file: val,
    }).unwrap()
    onSubmit(res.task)
    }
    ), so redacting it would create new tasks with masked credentials, with nothing stored to restore from. It only converts the caller's own input.

For tests, TestTaskEditKeepsRedactedStorageCredentials goes list → edit → PUT with the real Syncer.CheckCanUpdateCfg as the worker-side guard (without the fix it fails with the immutable-field error), plus a template GET → PUT. There is also a config-level round trip for a two-source S3 task, since each source dumps to its own subdirectory that getTask trims.

Ohh, we shouldn't redact the url returned by openapi, which will break the config update pipeline. Just like how we treat password for openapi.

Follow-up: I changed the approach in fcbc833 and dropped RestoreRedacted.

Restoring only works while the stored task still exists. The general replacement path that #12757 added for OpenAPI is GET → DELETE ?keep_meta=true → POST the full body → start, matching dmctl's stop-task → start-task <config>. By the time the body is posted, the old task is gone, so a redacted data_dir from GET can't be restored anymore, and the recreated task would keep xxxxxx as its credentials.

So storage credentials now follow how each output already treats the target database password:

  • OpenAPI task and template responses return the stored data_dir again, like target_config.password. Both PUT and the keep-meta replacement round-trip as on master.
  • dmctl config task keeps hiding both. It already replaced the target password with ****** before this PR (
    taskCfg.TargetDB.Password = config.ObfuscatedPasswordForFeedback
    ), so its output already needed secrets to be filled in again before reuse.
  • Logs, errors and status diagnostics stay redacted. The response bodies aren't logged anywhere.

TestTaskRoundTripKeepsStorageCredentials now covers GET → PUT (through Syncer.CheckCanUpdateCfg), GET → delete with keep_meta → create, and template GET → PUT with an S3 data_dir.

Apostrophes are valid in URL paths and userinfo, but the URL scanner
stopped at them, so credentials after an apostrophe were kept. Scanning
across apostrophes alone would merge adjacent quoted URLs, so URLs are
first redacted between apostrophes, then again as a whole when they
contain one.

Run logged the error returned by loadTableStructureFromDump with
zap.Error, while storage SDK errors may contain the complete request URL,
such as Azure SAS signatures.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The UI edits tasks from the redacted task list and submits data_dir back,
so updating a task was rejected as an immutable field change, and updating
a template stored the masked credentials. Restore the stored data_dir when
the redacted one is submitted back.

The converter only converts the request, and the UI creates tasks from
its response, so it no longer redacts storage credentials.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Updating a task requires a full task body, and replacing a task deletes it
with keep_meta and creates it again, so clients build the new body from
the task they read. Redacted storage credentials cannot be restored after
the task is deleted, so the recreated task would keep masked credentials.

Like the target database password, OpenAPI task and template responses
return the stored data_dir again, while dmctl get-config keeps hiding
both. Logs, errors and status diagnostics are still redacted.

A URL cut off by an apostrophe in its password could not be parsed, so
it was replaced by the invalid-URL placeholder in the first pass, which
left the rest of the password after the placeholder. Keep such a URL in
the first pass so that it is redacted as a whole in the second one.

The helpers repeated the package name, such as
redact.ErrorFieldWithRedactedURL. Rename them after what they redact, so
that redact.Error reads as the replacement of zap.Error.
