How can we ensure this is compatible with redaction of sensitive data as controlled by the --log-redact-add-field, log-redact-remove-field, --log-redact-add-header and --log-redact-remove-header flags?

These flags were introduced to configure the mechanism that mitigates risks of exfiltrating sensitive data to debug logs. With this change, production-level logs are subject to the same risks.

How can a sysadmin control which user-defined customisations are allowed and which ones are not?

Enforce and validate the logging-field value limit.

  • truncateValue keeps maxLen bytes and then appends the 14-byte ...(truncated) marker. A truncated value can therefore exceed maxValueBytes. Reserve the marker bytes within the limit.
  • Reject negative LOGGING_FIELDS_MAX_VALUE_BYTES values. utils.EnvVar accepts them, and truncateValue treats them as unlimited, although only 0 is documented to disable truncation.

In `@pkg/service/auth_pipeline.go` around lines 562 - 563, The logging-field value
limit is not enforced and negative configuration values are treated as
unlimited. Update truncateValue to reserve the truncation marker within
maxValueBytes, and validate LOGGING_FIELDS_MAX_VALUE_BYTES so negative values
are rejected while preserving zero as the documented disable-truncation setting.

for bullet 1: This is valid, but negligible. The purpose of this is to prevent multi KB values from hitting stdout, not to enforce the exact byte cap.
for bullet 2: for it to be negative it would most likely be misconfiguration that's very unlikely in practice.

@andresllh, understood. The current behavior meets the stated goal of preventing multi-kilobyte values from reaching stdout.

The negative-value behavior remains a low-probability misconfiguration case. I will leave the finding open for your disposition.

Learning: In `pkg/service/auth_pipeline.go`, `LoggingFieldsMaxValueBytes` is intended to prevent multi-kilobyte logging field values from reaching stdout. It is not intended to enforce an exact output byte cap after the `...(truncated)` marker is appended. Negative values are treated as an unlikely configuration error.

We should have a way to block specific custom field names that overlap with fields of the current structured log record which already contains authorized, response and object. We want to make sure that a user won't be able to specify, for example, a custom field authorised: "true".

I believe the current zap JSON encoder does not de-duplicate keys. Rather, it emits duplicates verbatim. If the downstream JSON parsers keep the last occurrence for each duplicate, then a (malicious) user-defined field authorised: true could end up deceiving a consumer of the logs into believing that a denied request was actually allowed. For a feature whose entire purpose is auditing authorisation decisions, that'd be a real integrity hole.

Maybe an easy solution could be namespacing all custom field names?

for k, v := range customFields.Fields {
key := loggingFieldPrefix + k
switch kind := v.Kind.(type) {
case *structpb.Value_StringValue:
fields[key] = truncateValue(kind.StringValue, maxValueBytes)

case *structpb.Value_NumberValue:
fields[key] = fmt.Sprintf("%v", kind.NumberValue)

case *structpb.Value_BoolValue:
fields[key] = fmt.Sprintf("%v", kind.BoolValue)

case *structpb.Value_StructValue:
if celExprField, ok := kind.StructValue.Fields["cel_expr"]; ok {

We're currently looking into enforcing a complexity budget for CEL expressions in an AuthConfig. Because these customisations come from request metadata they could end up dodging the limit enforcement.

Perhaps it's out of scope now, but we'll have to find a way to conciliate per-AuthConfig budgets with a complexity that can change per request.

My worry here is the added CEL cost on the hot path.

if exprStr := celExprField.GetStringValue(); exprStr != "" {
expr, err := cel.NewExpression(exprStr)
if err != nil {
pipeline.Logger.Error(err, "failed to parse CEL expression", "expression", exprStr)
continue
}
value, err := expr.ResolveFor(pipeline.GetAuthorizationJSON())
if err != nil {
pipeline.Logger.Error(err, "failed to evaluate CEL expression", "expression", exprStr)
continue
}
fields[key] = truncateValue(fmt.Sprintf("%v", value), maxValueBytes)
}
}

default:
pipeline.Logger.V(1).Info("unexpected value kind", "kind", kind)
}
}
}

I wonder if we should cap the resolved custom values to a maximum length. Especially dynamically resolved values from custom CEL expressions, such as request.headers['x-custom-header'] and request.body (when enabled), could cause STDOUT backpressure and ultimately even be a DoS vector.

Another sanitisation concern – In production mode, Authorino prints structured log messages (processed as JSON) which comes with some escaping of newlines and control chars in the values. However, in development mode, Authorino uses the console encoder, which doesn't escape newlines for example. Even not being the most recommended mode for automated log parsing, lack of sanitisation could still pose a risk of breaking readability for users.
