review(redfix): wake #55 — adjudicate Builder rebuttal cold. CONCEDE my insteadOf root cause is FALSIFIED (reproduced: insteadOf stores original URL, injects no userinfo); real generator is the sweep's CCCI_SKIP_FETCH copytree of /root/.abra canonical clones. CORRECT Builder: manual-* are NOT hand-runs — the autonomous nightly sweep runs run_recipe_ci.py outside Drone (run_id()=manual), regenerating copies WEEKLY (freshest dated to 07-05 sweep fire). NEW: a 2nd credential (oauth2/9c44a1) is exposed in 55 copies — Builder census of 78 missed it; 123 world-readable cred configs in /var/lib total. Operator-scope, no gate impact, no VETO; DONE stands. Consumed inbox.

Non-gate. No claim, no gate, no DoD item. `## DONE` stands; I am not disputing your verdict.
|
||||
|
||||
## Your A-redfix-1 ADDENDUM (wake #53): exposure CONFIRMED, root cause FALSIFIED
|
||||
|
||||
I re-derived your enumeration cold and **confirm the exposure**: **78** world-readable cred-bearing
|
||||
`.git/config`, all carrying sentinel `3fcea78925015fc9` (empty-input control `e3b0c44298fc1c14`);
|
||||
68 in `/var/lib/cc-ci-runs/manual-*/…`, 8 in `/nix/store` (0444), 1 `/tmp/v`, 1 `/etc/cc-ci`. I also
|
||||
independently re-confirmed the dashboard invariant **holds** — and note your probe and mine both need a
|
||||
*served* run to be conclusive: `manual-*` runs 404 on `results.json` too, so a 404 there is ambiguous. On
|
||||
served run **985** (`results.json` → 200) the on-disk `abra/recipes/backup-bot-two/.git/config` → **404**.
|
||||
Guard confirmed with a positive control.
|
||||
|
||||
**But `/root/.gitconfig`'s `insteadOf` is not the generator.** Three independent falsifiers:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **`insteadOf` never persists userinfo into `.git/config`.** It rewrites the transport, not what `clone`
|
||||
writes. Tested on the host, prefix form, git 2.47.2 — the clone *succeeded through* the rewrite and still
|
||||
stored the original URL:
|
||||
|
||||
git -c "url.file:///tmp/t/.insteadOf=https://fake.example/" clone https://fake.example/up.git c3
|
||||
git -C c3 config remote.origin.url # → https://fake.example/up.git (NOT the rewrite target)
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Chronology.** `/etc/cc-ci/.git/config` mtime `2026-05-31`; `/root/.gitconfig` mtime `2026-06-15`. Its
|
||||
credentialed `origin` predates the `insteadOf` file by two weeks.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **The live fetch path embeds nothing.** `runner/run_recipe_ci.py:360` clones the clean URL and
|
||||
authenticates via a per-command `http.extraHeader` **token** (docstring: "not persisted in .git/config").
|
||||
Landed `9b33fdf` (2026-05-27). Consequently **0 of 215** numeric/production autonomic clones carry the
|
||||
credential, while **68 of 68** cred-bearing run dirs are `manual-*`. Your "regenerates on every CI run"
|
||||
does not reproduce: production CI does not regenerate them.
|
||||
|
||||
**Actual generator:** the canonical clones `/root/.abra/recipes/*/.git/config` *do* carry the password in
|
||||
`remote.origin.url` (safe at rest: `/root` = `0700`). `CCCI_SKIP_FETCH=1` staging
|
||||
(`run_recipe_ci.py:348-353`) `shutil.copytree`s them into `/var/lib/cc-ci-runs` (`0755`) — the copy loses its
|
||||
source's protection. (`cryptpad`'s run copy is byte-identical to its canonical; others differ only by the
|
||||
post-checkout branch stanza.)
|
||||
|
||||
**Why this matters for the operator, not the gate.** Your recorded remedy — replace the `insteadOf` with a
|
||||
`credential.helper` — would leave all 78 copies in place and would **not** stop regeneration on the next
|
||||
staged run. The remedy that does: strip userinfo from the canonical `/root/.abra/recipes/*` origins, scrub
|
||||
the copies, `chmod 0750 /var/lib/cc-ci-runs`. I have corrected `STATUS-redfix.md` (steps 3–4) and filed the
|
||||
harness fix as **B-redfix-9** (deferred, post-merge) in my Build backlog.
|
||||
|
||||
`BACKLOG-redfix.md` "## Adversary findings" is yours — I have not edited your addendum. Amend it if you agree.
|
||||
|
||||
Rotation is still required and still operator-only: the credential is live and unrotated either way.

### A-redfix-1 — ADDENDUM (wake #55, 2026-07-09T10:4xZ): wake-#53 `insteadOf` root cause RETRACTED; real generator = the sweep's `CCCI_SKIP_FETCH` copytree; a SECOND credential (oauth2 token) also exposed
|
||||
|
||||
Adjudicated the Builder's wake-#54 rebuttal cold. Corrections to my own wake-#53 addendum above:
|
||||
|
||||
- **RETRACT the `insteadOf` root cause.** Reproduced first-hand on the node (git 2.47.2): a clone
|
||||
whose transport `url.<t>.insteadOf`-rewrites still stores the **original** URL; `insteadOf` injects
|
||||
no userinfo when the clone URL is credential-less. My "regenerates via insteadOf" was wrong.
|
||||
- **Real generator:** canonical `/root/.abra/recipes/*/.git/config` carry the cred (safe at rest under
|
||||
`/root` = `0700`); `run_recipe_ci.py:348-353` `CCCI_SKIP_FETCH=1` `copytree`s them into
|
||||
`/var/lib/cc-ci-runs` (`0755`), dropping the protection.
|
||||
- **The exposure IS autonomously regenerated — weekly, by the sweep** (correcting the Builder's
|
||||
"manual-* = hand-runs" claim). `run_id()`→`"manual"` for any non-Drone run; `nightly_sweep.py:88`
|
||||
runs `run_recipe_ci.py` outside Drone with `CCCI_SKIP_FETCH=1`, so the sweep's runs are the
|
||||
`manual-<pid>` dirs. Freshest copies dated 2026-07-05 03:37–03:59Z = the sweep's last fire.
|
||||
- **SECOND credential found (Builder census missed it).** `/var/lib/cc-ci-runs` holds **123**
|
||||
world-readable cred-bearing configs: **68** `autonomic-bot/3fcea78925015fc9` (B-redfix-8 password)
|
||||
**+ 55** `oauth2/9c44a1aea2ecb389` (a distinct OAuth2 token, sourced from bluesky-pds,
|
||||
custom-html-tiny, gitea, mumble). Remedy must scrub/rotate **both**.
|
||||
|
||||
Still **OPEN**, still **operator-scope**, **no gate / no DoD impact, no VETO**. Endorse the Builder's
|
||||
proposed remedy (strip userinfo from canonical origins + scrub + `chmod 0750 /var/lib/cc-ci-runs`)
|
||||
with the two amendments above (both credentials; canonical-origin fix is required because a one-time
|
||||
scrub is re-armed by the next sweep). Full reasoning + reproductions in REVIEW-redfix.md wake #55.

## Wake #55 @2026-07-09T10:4xZ — Builder rebuttal (inbox) adjudicated cold: my insteadOf root cause CONCEDED-WRONG; Builder's "not regenerated by production" CORRECTED-WRONG; a SECOND exposed credential found. No gate impact; `## DONE` stands, no VETO.
|
||||
|
||||
Consumed `ADVERSARY-INBOX.md` (Builder wake #54). It disputes my wake #53 A-redfix-1 root cause.
|
||||
I re-derived every claim cold on cc-ci — no reliance on either side's narrative — and split the
|
||||
verdict four ways.
|
||||
|
||||
**1. CONCEDE — my `insteadOf` root cause is FALSIFIED.** Reproduced the Builder's falsifier 1
|
||||
first-hand (git 2.47.2, on the node): a clone whose transport is rewritten by
|
||||
`url.<target>.insteadOf` **succeeds through the rewrite yet stores the ORIGINAL url**:
|
||||
|
||||
git -c "url.file:///tmp/adv54/srv/.insteadOf=https://user:SECRETPW@fake.example/" \
|
||||
clone https://user:SECRETPW@fake.example/up c2
|
||||
git -C c2 config remote.origin.url # → https://user:SECRETPW@fake.example/up
|
||||
|
||||
`SECRETPW` appears in c2's config **only because I put it on the clone command line** — `insteadOf`
|
||||
did not inject it. With a credential-less clone URL, `insteadOf` persists nothing. My wake #53
|
||||
"regenerates via insteadOf on every CI run" is **wrong on mechanism** and I retract it.
|
||||
|
||||
**2. CONCEDE — the Builder's positive generator is correct.** Verified: canonical
|
||||
`/root/.abra/recipes/*/.git/config` **do** carry the password in `remote.origin.url`, protected only
|
||||
by `/root` = `0700` (the recipe dir itself is `0744`). `run_recipe_ci.py:348-353` under
|
||||
`CCCI_SKIP_FETCH=1` `shutil.copytree`s the canonical into `/var/lib/cc-ci-runs` (`0755`); the copy
|
||||
loses the `/root` protection. That is the real generator.
|
||||
|
||||
**3. CORRECT THE BUILDER — "production CI does not regenerate them / `manual-*` = hand-runs" is
|
||||
WRONG.** The Builder argues the 68 copies are all `manual-*` and therefore hand-run leftovers, so my
|
||||
"regenerates on every CI run" "does not reproduce." But `manual-*` does **not** mean hand-run.
|
||||
`results.run_id()` returns the literal `"manual"` for **any** run lacking `DRONE_BUILD_NUMBER`
|
||||
(→ `manual-<pid>` at `run_recipe_ci.py:319`). The **autonomous nightly sweep runs
|
||||
`run_recipe_ci.py` OUTSIDE Drone** — `nightly_sweep.py:88` does `subprocess.run([... run_recipe_ci.py], env=dict(os.environ, RECIPE=recipe, CCCI_SKIP_FETCH="1"))`, i.e. it takes the very
|
||||
copytree branch above. So the sweep's own runs ARE the `manual-<pid>` dirs. Empirical confirmation:
|
||||
the freshest cred-bearing copies are dated **2026-07-05 03:37–03:59Z**, matching the sweep timer's
|
||||
**last fire 2026-07-05 03:04:50Z** (a batch of 6+ distinct recipes staged back-to-back at ~03:40 —
|
||||
not a human). **The exposure regenerates autonomously, weekly, via the sweep.** My "regenerates"
|
||||
conclusion was substantively right (autonomous regeneration is real); only my mechanism was wrong.
|
||||
This nudges the risk framing: the Builder's "deferred, post-merge B-redfix-9, just manual-* leftovers"
|
||||
understates that the exposure **re-arms every sweep** and cannot be cleared by a one-time scrub alone.
|
||||
|
||||
**4. NEW — the Builder's census missed a SECOND credential.** The inbox says "**78**, all carrying
|
||||
sentinel `3fcea78925015fc9`." Incomplete. A full census of cred-bearing `.git/config` under
|
||||
`/var/lib/cc-ci-runs`, split by (user, `sha256(pw)[:16]`):
|
||||
|
||||
68 autonomic-bot / 3fcea78925015fc9 (the Gitea bot password — B-redfix-8, still unrotated)
|
||||
55 oauth2 / 9c44a1aea2ecb389 (a SECOND, DISTINCT credential — an OAuth2 token)
|
||||
─────────────────────────────────────
|
||||
123 world-readable cred-bearing configs in /var/lib alone (all mode 0755-parented, uid-1000 readable)
|
||||
|
||||
The `oauth2/9c44a1…` value is sourced from 4 canonical clones (`bluesky-pds`, `custom-html-tiny`,
|
||||
`gitea`, `mumble`) and copied to **55** world-readable run dirs. The Builder counted only the
|
||||
`autonomic-bot` password copies (68 + 8 nix + `/tmp/v` + `/etc/cc-ci` = 78) and missed the OAuth2
|
||||
token entirely. **Two credentials are exposed, not one.** (Empty-input control `e3b0c44298fc1c14` was
|
||||
confirmed distinct from both, so the extractor fires; `/nix/store` copies are `0444` on a read-only
|
||||
fs, `/etc/cc-ci` + `/tmp/v` are `0644`.)
|
||||
|
||||
**Remedy correction (operator scope).** The Builder's *proposed* remedy — strip userinfo from the
|
||||
canonical `/root/.abra/recipes/*` origins, scrub the copies, `chmod 0750 /var/lib/cc-ci-runs` —
|
||||
is directionally right and I endorse it, with two amendments: (a) it must strip **both** credentials
|
||||
(the `autonomic-bot` password AND the `oauth2` token) from **all** canonical origins, and (b) because
|
||||
the sweep regenerates copies weekly, a one-time scrub is insufficient without the canonical-origin
|
||||
fix or a `0750` on `/var/lib/cc-ci-runs` that survives new run dirs.
|
||||
|
||||
**Gate impact: NONE.** This is entirely host-local FS exposure of already-known operator-scope
|
||||
credentials (A-redfix-1 / B-redfix-8 / the Builder's deferred B-redfix-9). No DoD item, no dashboard
|
||||
leak (that invariant independently re-confirmed by both loops on served run 985 → on-disk
|
||||
`.git/config` 404). `## DONE` stands. **No VETO.** I have amended the A-redfix-1 finding accordingly.
