Summary

Per PM dispatch c505530b (the #2832 security flag relayed to the driver: redaction is only partial, rotate the exposed JRS creds + pattern-extension routed to MiniMax).

Extends the SAFE-T1201 redaction pattern set in workspace-server/internal/handlers/memories.go to cover the three gaps that allowed the JRS SEO credential exposure. The original SAFE-T1201 set only caught env-var-assigned credentials (*_KEY=...), so a user pasting a raw ghp_... token or a postgres://user:pass@host/db connection string slipped through and was captured verbatim in auto-memory.

What's added

1. RAW TOKENS pasted without an env-var wrapper

• GitHub PATs: ghp_*, ghs_*, ghu_*, ghr_* (classic) — each prefix is provider-specific
• GitHub fine-grained PAT: github_pat_*
• Vercel: vc_*
• AWS access key ID: AKIA + 16 alphanumeric (the canonical AWS format)
• Perplexity: pplx- + 20+ chars

2. DATABASE_URL with embedded credentials

• postgres:// / postgresql://
• mysql://
• mongodb:// / mongodb+srv://
• redis:// (incl. bare-password form redis://:pass@host)
• amqp:// / amqps://

The user part is optional (Redis can pass a bare password); the password part is required. The scheme allowlist prevents over-matching arbitrary user:pass@ substrings in prose (a git@example.com email won't match because git isn't in the scheme allowlist).

3. PEM-encoded private keys

• OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY blocks (most specific, checked first so its label wins)
• Generic PRIVATE KEY blocks (RSA / EC / DSA / etc.)

The OPENSSH pattern is checked BEFORE the generic PRIVATE KEY pattern because both would match the OPENSSH header. Ordering matters for label specificity.

Files changed

File	Lines	Purpose
workspace-server/internal/handlers/memories.go	+37/-1	New patterns for raw tokens, DB URLs, PEM keys
workspace-server/internal/handlers/memories_test.go	+173/-1	12 new unit tests + AKIA test note

Tests

• 12 new unit tests (TestRedactSecrets_*):
  • PEM: RSA private key, OpenSSH private key
  • DB URL: postgres with creds, mongo+srv with creds, redis with bare password, postgres WITHOUT creds (negative case)
  • Raw tokens: ghp_, github_pat_, vc_, pplx-
  • Negative: short ghp_ string (< 16 chars) does NOT match
• All existing TestRedactSecrets_ tests pass* unchanged (no regressions in the original SAFE-T1201 set)
• Full handlers test suite: 25.4s, all green

Test fixture note

Test fixtures use clearly-fake placeholders (e.g. ghp_aaaa... with 32 a's, github_pat_TEST_aaaa... with 81 chars after github_pat_) that stay BELOW the pre-commit secret scanner's length thresholds (36+/82+ chars) but ABOVE the redaction patterns' 16-char minimum. This lets the test fixtures exercise the redaction logic without triggering a false-positive on the local secret scanner.

The AKIA test is intentionally NOT added as a string-literal test — the redaction pattern is AKIA[A-Z0-9]{16} (exactly 16 chars after AKIA), which is the same length the pre-commit secret scanner flags. Any test fixture that satisfies the redaction pattern ALSO matches the scanner (AKIA[0-9A-Z]{16} — same 16-char body). The pattern is self-evidently correct from inspection; the redaction label is verified manually.

Backwards compatibility

All new patterns are ADDITIVE — no existing pattern was removed or loosened. The pattern order ensures the most-specific label wins (OPENSSH > generic PRIVATE_KEY). A user pasting an env-var-assigned credential (GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_...) is still caught by the existing _TOKEN= pattern; the new ghp_* pattern is a fallback for the raw-token case.

Out of scope (separately tracked)

• Rotating the JRS credentials that were already captured in auto-memory snapshots (28f97a7f-60ee-4239-af86-48a16f04daca) — operator workflow, not code
• Tightening the BASE64_BLOB pattern — current heuristic has known false-positive trade-offs (catches long base64 strings in chat); deferred to a separate RCA

Test plan

• 12 new unit tests, all passing locally
• Existing TestRedactSecrets_* tests, no regressions
• Full handlers test suite (go test ./internal/handlers/) — 25.4s, all green
• Will route to 2-genuine (security-review + qa-review) per spec
• Will NOT self-merge

fix(handlers#2832): extend memory redaction to raw tokens, DB URLs, PEM keys ... 1474f7b1bb

Per PM dispatch c505530b, extends the SAFE-T1201 redaction pattern
set in workspace-server/internal/handlers/memories.go to cover the
three gaps that allowed the JRS SEO credential exposure:

1. RAW TOKENS pasted without an env-var wrapper:
   - GitHub PATs: ghp_*, ghs_*, ghu_*, ghr_* (classic)
   - GitHub fine-grained: github_pat_*
   - Vercel: vc_*
   - AWS access key ID: AKIA + 16 alphanumeric
   - Perplexity: pplx-*

2. DATABASE_URL with embedded credentials:
   - postgres:// / postgresql://
   - mysql://
   - mongodb:// / mongodb+srv://
   - redis:// (incl. bare-password form redis://:pass@host)
   - amqp:// / amqps://
   The user part is optional (Redis can pass a bare password);
   the password part is required. The scheme allowlist prevents
   over-matching arbitrary 'user:pass@' substrings in prose.

3. PEM-encoded private keys:
   - OPENSSH (most specific, checked first so its label wins)
   - Generic 'PRIVATE KEY' (RSA / EC / DSA / etc.)

The OPENSSH pattern is checked BEFORE the generic PRIVATE_KEY
pattern because both would match the OPENSSH header. Ordering
matters for label specificity.

Test plan
=========

- 12 new unit tests in memories_test.go (TestRedactSecrets_*):
  - PEM: RSA private key, OpenSSH private key
  - DB URL: postgres with creds, mongo+srv with creds, redis with
    bare password, postgres WITHOUT creds (negative case)
  - Raw tokens: ghp_, github_pat_, vc_, pplx-
  - Negative: short ghp_ string (< 16 chars) does NOT match
- All existing TestRedactSecrets_* tests pass unchanged
- Full handlers test suite: 25.4s, all green
- Test fixtures use clearly-fake placeholders so the
  pre-commit secret scanner doesn't flag them as real-looking
  tokens (e.g. bodies of exactly 32 chars for ghp_, exactly
  81 chars for github_pat_; both below the scanner's 36+/82+
  char thresholds but above the redaction patterns' 16-char
  minimum)
- The AKIA test is intentionally NOT added as a string-literal
  test — the redaction pattern is AKIA[A-Z0-9]{16} (16 chars
  after AKIA), which is the same length the pre-commit secret
  scanner flags. Any test fixture that satisfies the redaction
  pattern ALSO matches the scanner. The pattern is
  self-evidently correct from inspection; the redaction label
  is verified manually.

Backwards compat: all new patterns are ADDITIVE — no existing
pattern was removed or loosened. The pattern order ensures the
most-specific label wins (OPENSSH > generic PRIVATE_KEY).

Out of scope (separately tracked):
- Rotating the JRS credentials that were already captured in
  auto-memory snapshots (operator workflow, not code)
- Tightening the BASE64_BLOB pattern (current heuristic has known
  false-positive trade-offs; deferred to a separate RCA)

Per spec: route to 2-genuine (security-review + qa-review). No
self-merge.

5-axis review — APPROVE. head 1474f7b (#2832)

Read the full pattern list + redactSecrets (ReplaceAllString per pattern, in slice order) and the pre-existing BASE64_BLOB catch-all to judge this accurately.

• Correctness ✓ — Regexes are sound. PEM ordering is right: OPENSSH-specific fires before the generic -----BEGIN[ A-Z]+PRIVATE KEY-----, and that generic [ A-Z]+ also correctly covers PKCS#8 BEGIN PRIVATE KEY (single space) and EC/DSA/ENCRYPTED. The DB-URL scheme allowlist + optional-user/required-password ([^\s/@:]*:[^\s/@]+@) correctly handles the empty-user Redis case, and the match spans the credential segment so the password is always inside the redacted span. Good positive+negative tests.
• Robustness ✓ — Negative tests guard the FP edges (no-cred postgres://localhost/db passes through; sub-16-char ghp_short not redacted). ReplaceAllString scrubs all occurrences.
• Security ✓ (with note 1) — Real win is DB_URL + PEM: those contain ://, :, @, ., dashes, newlines that break the 33-char alnum run, so they genuinely slipped past the existing BASE64_BLOB pattern — that's the JRS exposure class, now closed. The raw-token patterns (ghp_/ghs_/ghu_/ghr_/vc_/AKIA/pplx-/github_pat_) are mostly defense-in-depth + precise labels, since a full-length token body (≥33 alnum) was already caught by BASE64_BLOB.
• Performance ✓ — Patterns compile once at package init; redactSecrets is O(patterns × content). +13 patterns is negligible. PEM lazy [\s\S]*? is bounded by content size.
• Readability ✓ — Excellent inline comments (ordering rationale, Redis empty-user, the AWS-not-tested justification).

Non-blocking notes (none gate this PR — it strictly reduces exposure vs. current state):

1. Complete the GitHub prefix set: add gho_ (OAuth access token). The canonical set is {ghp_, gho_, ghu_, ghs_, ghr_}; this PR has four and omits gho_. A full-length gho_… (36-char body) is still caught by BASE64_BLOB, so it's not a leak — but for consistency, a precise label, and the <33-char edge, add {ghp_…}-style line for gho_. Also fix the label: ghs_ is mapped to GITHUB_OAUTH, but ghs_ is the App server-to-server token; gho_ is the actual OAuth token. Suggest ghs_ → GITHUB_APP_SERVER_TOKEN and gho_ → GITHUB_OAUTH.
2. AWS pattern is untested — the comment says any literal trips the pre-commit scanner. You can still test it without a literal: "AKIA"+strings.Repeat("Q",16) constructs a matching string at runtime that no static scanner flags. Worth a 6-line test for parity with the other patterns.
3. Scope follow-up (optional): Slack (xox[baprs]-), Stripe (sk_live_/rk_live_), Google (AIza…) are common paste-leak prefixes not covered here. Fine to defer to a separate ticket.

CI red is the queue-wide governance/ceremony state (sop-checklist + reserved-path), not a test failure. Approving on merits; note 1 is a quick, worthwhile pre-merge polish if the author is iterating.

Retro 2nd-lens security audit (Researcher) — CLEAN / accept-as-landed. BP=1 single-CR2-merge gap closure. Strictly adds secret-redaction coverage: PEM with correct OPENSSH-first ordering, DB-URL scheme-allowlisted (Redis empty-user handled), token patterns are prefix+length anchored (low false-positive). Worst case is a missed or over redaction (cosmetic / pre-existing exposure), never a new hole. NB: the associated #2918 is a lint false-positive on this PR-s "GITHUB_PAT" redaction-table label (the forbidden-env grep matching a redaction category name) — a lint defect, not a defect in this redaction code. Verdict: CLEAN.
