Closes LAB-304.

Problem

Cache keys embed caller-supplied tenant/user identifiers. LAB-109 (#217) redacted them on the cache_set failure paths and LAB-381 (#235) covered the SWR debug logs — but the shared error sink and a long tail of direct logger calls still logged the raw key on every other path (CWE-532).

Fix

Sink-central redaction (by construction):

  • FeatureOrchestrator.handle_cache_error redacts once at the top — both the structured log and the backwards-compat warning are covered for every caller, current and future.
  • log_cache_operation redacts kwargs["key"] in place (it was splatted raw into the structured payload even where the named field was safe).
  • New _redact_key_for_log() guard: sentinels (unknown, <generation_failed>) and pre-redacted values pass through readable — which also makes the sink idempotent.
  • The three LAB-109 cache_set call sites now pass the raw key; the sink emits the byte-identical blake2b digest (pinned by test), so log correlation with pre-fix logs is preserved.

Tree-wide sweep (expert-panel findings): direct logger calls bypassing the sink now redact — wrapper.py (TTL-refresh, lock timeout/failure, L1 deserialize, interop/L2 delete), cache_handler.py (backend get/set/delete/mmap/invalidate error paths), SimpleLogger.cache_hit/miss/stored/invalidated, and l1_cache.py's TTL-skip debug line.

Structural: redact_cache_key moved verbatim to the hash_utils leaf module (re-exported from cache_handler for backwards compatibility) so backends/provider.py and l1_cache.py can redact without a circular import.

Acceptance criteria

  • ✅ No error path logs the raw cache key (structured or backwards-compat); a correlatable digest is used instead — plus tree-wide coverage of debug/operation logs.
  • TestCacheKeyRedaction asserts a tenant-identifying key never appears verbatim in logs across cache_get / key_generation / backend_connection / client_creation failures.
  • ✅ LAB-109 cache_set redaction intact — test_cache_set_digest_unchanged_from_lab_109 pins digest identity.

Review & gates

  • Expert panel (bug-hunter, security-specialist, code-craftsman, catchphrase) ran pre-PR at high stakes. All surviving findings applied (the tree-wide raw-key sites and doc-claim accuracy); catchphrase verdict on the sink change: "NO CUTS — already lean". One finding rejected: dropping the duplicated cache_key/key field in the structured payload would change the structured-log schema consumers may query — out of scope.
  • Docs pass: SECURITY.md gains a "Cache Key Redaction in Logs (CWE-532)" section; the claim is true tree-wide as of this diff. Public docs/protocol spec don't document SDK log contents — no changes needed there.
  • ruff check + ruff format --check clean; 2682 tests pass locally (fuzzing needs atheris, saas integration needs a live worker, perf excluded — same flakes on clean main).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Security

    • Cache keys are now consistently redacted in cache-operation, error, warning and debug logs.
    • Redacted values remain safely correlatable without exposing caller-supplied keys.
    • Error messages no longer expose raw cache keys or third-party exception details.
    • Original exceptions remain available for diagnostics.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance explaining cache-key protection and logging limitations.
  • Tests

    • Added comprehensive coverage confirming sensitive keys are excluded across cache workflows and backend errors.

Raw cache keys embed caller-supplied tenant/user identifiers and were
still logged verbatim on every non-cache_set error path (CWE-532).
Redact once inside FeatureOrchestrator.handle_cache_error and
log_cache_operation so all callers — current and future — are covered
by construction; the three LAB-109 cache_set call sites now pass the
raw key and the sink emits the identical blake2b digest as before.
Sentinels (unknown, <generation_failed>) stay readable.
Expert-panel review of the sink change found direct logger calls that
bypass FeatureOrchestrator and still logged raw keys: wrapper.py TTL-
refresh/lock/deserialize/interop-delete paths, cache_handler.py backend
error paths, SimpleLogger cache_hit/miss/stored/invalidated, and the
L1 TTL-skip debug line. All now redact.

redact_cache_key moves to the hash_utils leaf module (verbatim; re-
exported from cache_handler) so backends/provider.py and l1_cache.py
can use it without a circular import through cache_handler.

Existing tests asserting raw keys in log messages updated to assert
the digest instead — the bare-key-vs-:lock-suffix contract in
test_wrapper_lock_bare_key.py survives via digest inequality.

Walkthrough

Cache-key logging and backend error text now use fixed-length BLAKE2b redaction. The change covers cache operations, errors, locks, invalidation, deserialisation, and TTL refresh paths. Tests verify raw-key suppression and digest consistency.

Uses redacted key digests in BackendError text and removes raw provider exception text from backend error messages.
Cache logging path updates
src/cachekit/backends/provider.py, src/cachekit/decorators/wrapper.py, src/cachekit/cache_handler.py, src/cachekit/l1_cache.py
Redacts keys in cache-operation, error, lock, invalidation, deserialisation, and TTL-refresh logs.
Redaction validation and supporting updates
tests/unit/*, tests/integration/*, tests/critical/*, SECURITY.md, .secrets.baseline, pyproject.toml
Adds coverage for redacted logs and errors, documents the behaviour, refreshes baseline metadata, and updates the development-only pip constraint.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f2a7e

Some error paths can still expose raw cache keys in logs. These remaining sanitization gaps should be fixed before merge.

Sanitise exception text before logging it.

A backend can raise ValueError(key). The {e} interpolation then writes the raw cache key to the log despite the redacted key field. Sanitise the exception message with the known key, or omit the exception text, in every cache-operation error log. Add ValueError(TENANT_KEY) to the regression cases.

… text; strict log pass-through

BackendError._format_message() now embeds the redacted digest instead of a
50-char raw-key prefix, making every downstream {e} interpolation safe by
construction (orchestrator sinks, cache_handler sinks, wrapper lock warning).
_redact_key_for_log() pass-through narrowed from any <...> string to an

Expert-panel findings on the CodeRabbit remediation commit — the key= segment
of BackendError was redacted, but the message field was a second channel:

- memcached oversized-value guard embedded the raw key in the message; dropped
  (the redacted key= segment carries correlation).
- memcached error classification interpolated wrapped exception text into the
  message; pymemcache illegal-input errors echo the full raw key. Permanent and
  unknown branches now carry only the exception type name; original_exception
  keeps full detail.
- StructuredLogger.cache_operation logged a raw cache_key[:50] prefix (and
  PII-pattern masking never caught tenant ids in keys); now always emits the
  redact_cache_key digest. Dead _mask_sensitive_data helper removed.
- SECURITY.md updated to state the message-field guarantee; hash_utils
  docstring cross-references the format-pinning regex and test.

Remove raw exception text from timeout and transient errors.

classify_memcached_error inserts exc into BackendError.message for both branches. BackendError includes this message unchanged in str(error), so a cache key in a MemcacheServerError or OSError can reach log sinks. Use the exception type name or an allow-listed safe detail. Retain original_exception for diagnostics. Add regression coverage with a tenant key in a transient exception message.

…304)

cache_operation() called redact_cache_key() bare, so a key that had already
been redacted upstream got hashed a second time and emitted a different digest
than FeatureOrchestrator produced for the same key — the two sinks could not be
joined in a log query. Recognised sentinels ("unknown", "<generation_failed>")
were hashed into opaque digests for the same reason.

The _redact_key_for_log policy moved from decorators/orchestrator.py to
hash_utils.py as redact_key_for_log(), beside redact_cache_key(). logging.py
already imported that leaf module, so both sinks now share one implementation
rather than logging.py importing the decorator package (wrong direction) or
growing a second copy that drifts. orchestrator keeps a module-level alias, so
existing callers and tests are unaffected; its now-unused re and
redact_cache_key imports are dropped. The format-pinning regex now lives next to
the function that emits the format, retiring the cross-module docstring
reference.

cache_hit/cache_miss/cache_stored all funnel through cache_operation, so the
single call site covers them.

Coverage: TestStructuredLoggerCacheOperationRedaction pins raw-key redaction,
pre-redacted pass-through, both sentinels, cross-sink digest agreement, and the
empty-key case. Verified they fail against the previous implementation (3 of the
6 discriminate; the rest hold in both).

CodeRabbit-Resolved: logging.py:259:Preserve approved redacted values
…(LAB-304)

Four-agent panel (high stakes) on the previous commit. Findings applied:

REGRESSION I introduced: health.py logs its checks with cache_key="system", a
component label and not a key. Routing cache_operation through the guard began
hashing it, so a readable operator field became <redacted:a99cf92e...> and any
dashboard filtering on it would have silently stopped matching after upgrade.
"system" joins the sentinel set; the parametrized sentinel test reads the set,
so it now covers it.

Docstring told a lie: it claimed idempotency held "for a caller handing an
already-redacted value straight to SimpleLogger", but provider.py's four
SimpleLogger methods called bare redact_cache_key() and would double-hash. Made
the claim true rather than deleting it — those four sinks now use
redact_key_for_log. Same leaf module, no new import edge. Added a line steering
future callers: prefer the guard at any sink, bare only where input is
known-raw.

Missed CWE-532 channel, pre-existing: l1_cache.py logged the raw key in the
oversized-value debug line while its sibling eighteen lines above was already
redacted. This is the same log cachekit-ts redacted in LAB-1768.

test_digest_matches_the_orchestrator_sink was tautological — it compared
logging.py's output against the very function logging.py calls, so it would
pass even if the two sinks diverged, the one thing it exists to catch. It now
drives FeatureOrchestrator.handle_cache_error for real and asserts both sinks
emit the same digest.

Cut the _redact_key_for_log alias: a leading-underscore name has no external
consumers to protect, and all four callers are in-tree. SENTINEL_KEYS reverted
to _SENTINEL_KEYS — public API surface on a published SDK is not worth one
test's convenience; the test imports the private name, as it already does
elsewhere in this repo.

Panel REBUTTED CodeRabbit's keyed-HMAC demand; rationale is on the PR.

Not addressed here, raised for separate triage: pymemcache exception text
embeds the raw key and rides the __cause__ traceback (str(e) is redacted, the
traceback is not); mask_sensitive is a dead knob since this PR removed its only

Rebutting the keyed-digest finding (SECURITY.md:192)

Use a keyed BLAKE2b digest or HMAC with a service secret loaded through pydantic-settings as SecretStr.

Rebutted. Put to a four-agent expert panel at high stakes (the project's mandatory crypto/protocol gate); all reviewers independently reached REBUT. Reasons, strongest first:

1. The secret has no owner. This is a public PyPI library, not a service. Unset, it must either fail open to the unkeyed digest — security theatre — or fail closed and break every existing deployment on pip install -U. Set, the operator must provision and synchronise one secret fleet-wide, and any rotation voids all historical log correlation.

2. It destroys the property the digest exists for. The digest is a log-correlation token, not a confidentiality primitive. Its whole job is that one cache key renders as one value across processes, hosts and restarts — the invariant this PR just spent a refactor establishing between the orchestrator and logging sinks. A per-instance key makes digests diverge exactly where operators need them to match, and breaks this PR's explicit byte-identical-with-pre-fix-logs contract.

3. The threat model does not hold. The finding assumes an attacker hashes candidate tenant IDs. A cache key is ns:{func}:{args_hash} where args_hash is a blake2b-256 digest of the msgpack-encoded argument tuple (src/cachekit/key_generator.py). Confirming membership requires enumerating the full argument tuple, not guessing a tenant ID. The 64-bit output width is not the constraint; the 256-bit preimage is. Residual risk is confirmation-of-membership for zero-arg or tiny-cardinality calls by someone who already holds the log stream.

4. Precedent. The identical trade was panel-ratified in the sibling SDK (cachekit-ts, LAB-1768) as an eyes-open accepted residual, for the same operator-matching reason. Digest strength is a cross-SDK protocol decision — if it is to be revisited it belongs in cachekit-protocol, decided once, not unilaterally in the Python SDK.

One correction worth recording: the SDKs are not currently digest-compatible — Python emits digest_size=8 (16 hex), cachekit-ts blake2b16Hex emits 16 bytes (32 hex). Cross-process correlation is the real benefit here, not cross-SDK. Whether to align the widths before the format ossifies in shipped logs is worth its own ticket.


Applied from the same panel

The panel did find real defects, fixed in b05c7ee:

  • health.py regression, introduced by my previous commit — health checks log cache_key="system", a component label rather than a key; routing through the guard began hashing it, silently breaking any dashboard filtering on that field. Added to the sentinel set.
  • hash_utils docstring was false — it claimed idempotency covered SimpleLogger, but provider.py's four methods called bare redact_cache_key() and would double-hash. Made the claim true by repointing them.
  • l1_cache.py missed CWE-532 channel — the oversized-value debug line logged the raw key while its sibling eighteen lines above was already redacted.
  • test_digest_matches_the_orchestrator_sink was tautological — compared the helper against itself, so it would pass even if the two sinks diverged. It now drives FeatureOrchestrator.handle_cache_error for real.
  • Cut the _redact_key_for_log alias (no external consumers); reverted SENTINEL_KEYS to private.

Raised, not fixed here

Three findings are real but outside this PR's remit and want their own tickets:

  1. pymemcache traceback channelraise classify_memcached_error(...) from exc chains an exception whose text embeds the raw key. str(e) is redacted; the __cause__ traceback is not, and CacheKit's own formatter renders it.
  2. mask_sensitive is a dead knob — this PR removed _mask_sensitive_data, its only reader, leaving a security-named parameter on public get_structured_logger that silently does nothing.
  3. SECURITY.md over-claims — "every log path" is not yet proven for the redis, file and cachekitio backends, which build message=f"...: {e}" from unaudited driver text.

…ecture test (LAB-304)

Expert-panel findings on b05c7ee (1 blocking, 2 major), applied:

BLOCKER — SECURITY.md claimed keys "never reach logs verbatim". False for the
flagship backend: CachekitIO addresses entries by key in the request path and
httpx logs every request line at INFO on its own logger, so any app enabling
INFO globally sees raw keys on the happy path. The claim is now scoped to the
SDK's own loggers, with an httpx paragraph telling operators to raise that
logger's level (mirrors the lock-token paragraph's reasoning). The SDK does not
mute a third-party logger on the user's behalf.

MAJOR — unkeyed blake2b was undocumented. Panel's own follow-up corrected my
first draft: the digest is as guessable as the key material, and that holds for
GENERATED keys too — the args hash is deterministic blake2b(msgpack(args)), so a
get_user(user_id) cache is enumerable from its digest either way (verified: 1M
ids in 0.01s). SECURITY.md "Digest strength" + the redact_cache_key docstring
now say exactly that: correlation id, never a secret.

MAJOR — ~30 hand-edited log lines with nothing stopping the next one from
leaking. tests/unit/test_log_redaction_architecture.py walks every logging call
in the package (logger.*, get_logger().*, logger().*, getLogger(...).*,
getattr(logger, level)(), warnings) and fails if a key-shaped Name/Attribute/
subscript reaches it outside a redactor call. Panel mutation-tested the first
cut and found it blind to get_logger().warning(...) — the ONLY shape in
cache_handler.py — so receiver matching was widened and a 13-case self-test
pins every shape it must flag or allow. Known blind spot (pre-built message
variables) is documented in the module docstring and in SECURITY.md.

orchestrator.py:471 now redacts inline (idempotent) so its safety is visible
to the guard rather than depending on a rebinding 28 lines up.

Out of scope, filed separately: the unquoted raw key in the CachekitIO URL
path is also a path-traversal surface for attacker-influenced custom keys.

Expert-panel findings on b05c7ee — applied in 551d50e

The review-signoff panel (high stakes) returned 1 blocking + 2 major against the previous head. All three are real; all three land in this commit.

Blocker — SECURITY.md claimed keys "never reach logs verbatim". False for the flagship backend: CachekitIO addresses entries by key in the request path (GET /v1/cache/{key}, backend.py:260/:310), and httpx 0.28.1 logs every request line (HTTP Request: METHOD url "status") at INFO on its own httpx logger. Any app doing logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO) sees the raw key on the happy path. Applied: claim scoped to the SDK's own cachekit.* loggers; new paragraph tells operators to logging.getLogger("httpx").setLevel(logging.WARNING). The SDK does not mute a third-party logger on the user's behalf — that's the operator's logging config, same reasoning as the lock-token paragraph directly below it.

Major — unkeyed blake2b undocumented. Applied, with a correction to my own first draft that the panel's security pass caught: I had written that generated keys resist enumeration because of the 256-bit args hash. That is fiction — blake2b(msgpack(args)) is deterministic, so the digest of a get_user(user_id) cache is recoverable by hashing candidate args (verified: 1M ids in 0.01s). SECURITY.md "Digest strength" and the redact_cache_key docstring now say the true thing: the digest is exactly as guessable as the key material, generated or custom — a correlation ID, never a secret. The keyed-digest alternative stays rejected for the reasons already on this PR (CodeRabbit withdrew that finding).

Major — ~30 hand-edited log lines, nothing stopping the next leak. Applied: tests/unit/test_log_redaction_architecture.py walks every logging call in the package and fails CI if a key-shaped Name / Attribute / d["key"] reaches it outside a redact_* call — in the message f-string, %s args, or extra=. The panel mutation-tested my first cut and found it blind to get_logger().warning(...), which is the only shape in cache_handler.py (54 sites). Receiver matching now covers logger.*, get_logger().*, logger().*, logging.getLogger(...).*, getattr(logger, level)(...), *logger*-named locals, and warnings; a 13-case self-test pins every shape it must flag or allow, and stripping a redactor at cache_handler.py:1110, orchestrator.py:471, or wrapper.py:1232 now fails the build. Known blind spot (a message pre-built into a variable) is stated in the module docstring and in SECURITY.md rather than papered over. orchestrator.py:471 also redacts inline now so its safety is visible to the guard instead of resting on a rebinding 28 lines up.

Not in this PR, filed separately: the same unquoted key in the URL path is a path-traversal surface for attacker-influenced @cache(key=...) values — httpx normalises .. client-side, so default:../../admin reaches api.cachekit.io/admin with the app's bearer token. The lock paths already quote(lock_key, safe=""); the read/write paths don't. That is a wire-path fix needing SaaS-decode and ts/rs interop confirmation, so it has its own ticket rather than riding a logging PR.

Gates on 551d50e: ruff, format, basedpyright clean; 2237 unit+critical+error-handling tests pass; doctests and SECURITY.md code blocks execute.

Sanitise the exception text before logging it. StandardCacheHandler.set() interpolates BackendError into SimpleLogger.error(), while BackendError.__str__() redacts only its separate key field and preserves message; a backend message containing the raw key can therefore reach the SDK logger.

Sanitise pymemcache cause text before constructing BackendError. MemcachedBackend sends timeout and transient exceptions to classify_memcached_error, whose TIMEOUT and TRANSIENT branches interpolate exc into BackendError.message. BackendError.__str__() redacts only the separate key field, while FeatureOrchestrator.handle_cache_error() logs str(error). Therefore, a cause string containing a cache key can reach logs. Use a fixed type-only message and retain exc in original_exception.

…etector (LAB-304)

Close the residual CWE-532 channels a fresh review found on PR #264:

- error_handler: TIMEOUT/TRANSIENT branches now emit only type(exc).__name__
  (were interpolating raw {exc}), matching the PERMANENT/UNKNOWN branches.
- l1_cache: both put() diagnostics use redact_key_for_log (idempotent sink
  policy) instead of the bare redact_cache_key.
- redact_error_for_log(): render exceptions key-free for logs — BackendError is
  self-sanitising so it passes verbatim, every other exception collapses to its
  type name (str() has unknown provenance and may echo the raw key). Applied at
  handle_cache_error (both sinks) and redis_operation_failed.
- LOGGER_NAME_RE now matches bare log/_log receivers so the architecture guard
  cannot be bypassed by log.warning(f"{key}"); detector + arch tests updated.

Expert-panel finding (CRITICAL, confirmed by bug-hunter + security independently):
redact_error_for_log logs str(BackendError) verbatim on the premise "BackendError
is key-free by construction", but only the memcached classifier had been hardened.
The redis classifier/backend and the cachekit.io HTTP classifier still interpolated
raw provider exception text into BackendError.message, which _format_message emits
verbatim — so on the flagship backend the "trusted" branch surfaced exactly the
untrusted provider text (redis ACL "NOPERM ... keys", WRONGTYPE, httpx request URL)
that can echo the raw cache key. The trust assumption was unsound; the leak stayed
open (CWE-532).

Root-cause fix — make the invariant true tree-wide, mirroring the memcached branches:
- redis/error_handler.py: every branch message is type(exc).__name__ only.
- redis/backend.py: the five GET/SET/DELETE/EXISTS/client-create messages likewise.
- cachekitio/error_handler.py: timeout/connect/unknown branches likewise (httpx text
  carries the URL, which embeds the key in its path).
- Detail stays on original_exception; the key rides the .key attribute, redacted by
  _format_message.

Tests: TestClassifierMessagesAreKeyFree asserts str(classify_*(exc_echoing_key, key))
contains the digest, never the raw key — covers the wrapped-BackendError path the
logger-call architecture test cannot see. hash_utils module docstring now names it as
the redaction-policy leaf home.

Sanitise error in cache_operation(). cache_operation() copies kwargs into the structured context without redaction. JsonFormatter then serialises this context, so an error string containing a raw cache key can expose that key in logs. Apply redact_error_for_log() or reject unsanitised error values at this sink.

… never its message (LAB-304)

CodeRabbit (round 2) correctly pushed past the classifier fixes: redact_error_for_log
still *trusted* str(BackendError), so a future BackendError(f"...{raw_key}...", key=...)
would leak — _format_message copies the free-form .message verbatim. Trusting the
key-free invariant is not the same as enforcing it.

Defense-in-depth: the helper now logs NO free-form exception text. A BackendError is
rendered from allow-listed non-key fields only — the Python type plus the
BackendErrorType classification (e.g. "BackendError(timeout)"); .message and raw .key
are never read. The redacted key digest is already emitted in the separate `key` log
field. Every other exception still collapses to its type name.

The classifier message fixes (previous commit) remain necessary — ~30 other sinks
interpolate str(BackendError)/{e} directly and rely on .message being key-free — so
both layers stand: classifiers keep .message clean for the direct-str sinks, this
helper never reads .message for the sinks it controls.

Tests: added a regression with a key-bearing BackendError.message (CodeRabbit's ask) —
redact_error_for_log must not leak it; updated the passthrough test to the structured
representation.
