[PATCH v5 09/15] bugreport: generate config safelist based on docs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Emily Shaffer <emilyshaffer@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add a new step to the build to generate a safelist of git-config
variables which are appropriate to include in the output of
git-bugreport. New variables can be added to the safelist by annotating
their documentation in Documentation/config with the
"bugreport" macro, which is recognized by AsciiDoc and
AsciiDoctor.

Some configs are private in nature, and can contain remote URLs,
passwords, or other sensitive information. In the event that a user
doesn't notice their information while reviewing a bugreport, that user
may leak their credentials to other individuals, mailing lists, or bug
tracking tools inadvertently. Heuristic blocklisting of configuration
keys is imperfect and prone to false negatives; given the nature of the
information which can be leaked, a safelist is more reliable.

In order to prevent staleness of the safelist, add a mechanism to
generate the safelist from annotations in the config documentation,
where contributors are already used to documenting their new config
keys.

Implement a new no-op "bugreport" macro for use as
"bugreport:include[x]" to annotate the config keys that should be
included in the automatically generated safelist. Use "exclude" for the
others.

With Asciidoctor, it's ok to say "bugreport:include[]", but AsciiDoc
seems to want something between the brackets. A bit unfortunate, but
not a huge problem -- we'll just provide an "x".

"doc-diff" reports that this macro doesn't render at all. That is,
these are both empty after this commit:

  cd Documentation
  ./doc-diff --asciidoctor :/"bugreport: add tool" HEAD
  ./doc-diff --asciidoc    :/"bugreport: add tool" HEAD

Diffing the rendered HTML shows that there is some small amount of
whitespace and comments added. That shouldn't be a problem.

We could perhaps let the implementation verify that the "action" is one
of "include" and "exclude". For the Asciidoctor implementation that
should be straightforward, but for AsciiDoc I don't immediately know how
to do it. Anyway, if someone stumbles on the keyboard and writes
"bugreport:icndule", they'll "only" miss out on the config key being
included in the safelist. If this were a blocklist, the consequences of
a misspelled target could be a lot more severe.

Additionally, add annotations to the sendemail config documentation in
order to demonstrate a proof of concept.
