Which Linear task belongs to this PR?

https://linear.app/lifi-linear/issue/EXSC-825/verifycontract-logs-explorer-api-keys-into-deploy-output

Why did I implement it this way?

verifyContract echoed the fully-expanded forge verify-contract command three times. Once --etherscan-api-key / --verifier-api-key are appended to VERIFY_CMD, those echoes print the live explorer API key in plaintext.

This is not theoretical: the EXSC-823 ReceiverOIF rollout (one 10-network production deploy) wrote the key into its log 22 times. Deploy logs get pasted into tickets, shared in CI output and read in transcripts, and a leaked explorer key cannot be un-leaked.

Rather than dropping the log lines — they are genuinely useful when a verification fails and you want to rerun the exact command — this routes every echo of the command through a small redactVerifyCmd helper that masks only the value following the two key flags.

All three echo sites are routed through it, including the one that is key-free today (it runs before the key is appended). That site is harmless right now, but redacting it too makes the invariant "every echo of VERIFY_CMD is redacted" hold independently of the order in which flags get appended, so a future reordering cannot silently reintroduce the leak.

Verified against real data rather than assumed:

  • Positive case per flag — --etherscan-api-key and --verifier-api-key values are both masked.
  • Negative control — a command containing no key passes through byte-identical, so the helper cannot quietly mangle unrelated commands.
  • Checked the actual rollout log: all 22 occurrences came from these echoes, and none leaked via VERIFY_OUTPUT or a request query string. Redacting the echoes therefore closes the complete path.

Follow-up (not in this PR)

The key exposed by the EXSC-823 deploy reached a transcript and should be rotated.

Checklist before requesting a review

Checklist for reviewer (DO NOT DEPLOY and contracts BEFORE CHECKING THIS!!!)

  • I have checked that any arbitrary calls to external contracts are validated and or restricted
  • I have checked that any privileged calls (i.e. storage modifications) are validated and or restricted
  • I have ensured that any new contracts have had AT A MINIMUM 1 preliminary audit conducted on by <company/auditor>

verifyContract echoed the fully-expanded forge verify-contract command three
times, and --etherscan-api-key / --verifier-api-key values went to stdout with
it. Deploy logs are shared in CI output, transcripts and pasted excerpts, and a
leaked explorer key cannot be un-leaked, so route every echo of the command
through a redactor instead.

Verification command redaction

Layer / File(s) Summary
Add verification command redaction
script/helperFunctions.sh
Added redactVerifyCmd to mask Etherscan and verifier API-key values.
Apply redaction to verification logs

Updated informational, debug, and retry-attempt logs to use the redacted command.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b3006

The PR redacts explorer API keys from verification-command logs, but the current implementation can still expose part of a key when a value contains whitespace or a newline. This concrete security gap should be fixed before merge.

…on-space IFS

helperFunctions.sh reassigns IFS in several places. With "$*" the command is
joined on the first IFS character, so a non-space IFS produces a colon-joined
line that the redactor's [[:space:]] pattern never matches and the key is
printed in full.

Add the required helper documentation.

Add the repository-standard description, usage, parameters, returns, and examples. Document that callers pass command arguments as separate Bash arguments. Do not include real API-key values.

As per path instructions, document the new helper using the repository’s function format (description, usage, parameters, returns, examples).

Preserve API-key argument boundaries.

At script/helperFunctions.sh:2148, redactVerifyCmd joins arguments before redaction. A whitespace- or newline-containing API key can therefore leak its remaining content into CI logs.

Iterate over "$@" and redact the value after each API-key flag. Do not consume another flag as a missing value. Print redacted arguments with printf '%q'. Add tests for both flags, empty or missing values, and whitespace-containing values.
