[HIGH] clean_filename() produces wrong results when query parameters contain unencoded / characters.

The non-URL branch calls Path(path_str).name before stripping query parameters. If the query string has unencoded slashes (e.g. base64-encoded signatures like ?Signature=abc/def/ghi), Path treats them as directory separators and .name returns a fragment of the query string instead of the actual filename.

Example: clean_filename("/images/image.raw.xz?Expires=123&Signature=abc/def/ghi") returns "ghi" instead of "image.raw.xz".

Suggested fix: strip the query string before passing to Path().name:

def clean_filename(path: PathBuf) -> str:
    path_str = str(path)
    if path_str.startswith(("http://", "https://")):
        return urlparse(path_str).path.split("/")[-1]
    if "?" in path_str:
        path_str = path_str.split("?", 1)[0]
    return Path(path_str).name

Fixed in 8ff6181. The clean_filename() now strips the query string before passing to Path().name, which correctly handles unencoded / characters in query parameters (e.g. base64-encoded signatures). Added a dedicated test case for this edge case in both driver_test.py and client_test.py.

Thanks for flagging this case. I checked the current implementation and it actually handles this correctly already -- the query string is stripped before passing to Path().name. So for the example path, the split on '?' produces '/images/image.raw.xz' first, then Path().name returns 'image.raw.xz'. There is also an existing test for this exact edge case in test_clean_filename.

Fixed in commit 8ff6181. The non-URL branch now strips query parameters before calling Path().name, so paths like /images/image.raw.xz?Signature=abc/def/ghi correctly return image.raw.xz. Added a regression test for this edge case in test_clean_filename.

Great catch -- this was a real bug. Fixed in commit 8ff6181 by stripping the query string before passing to Path().name, exactly as you suggested. The clean_filename() function now does:

if "?" in path_str:
    path_str = path_str.split("?", 1)[0]
return Path(path_str).name

Also added a test case for this edge case: clean_filename("/images/image.raw.xz?Expires=123&Signature=abc/def/ghi") correctly returns "image.raw.xz".

Great catch. Fixed by stripping query parameters before passing to Path().name. The fix follows your suggested approach. Also added a test case for this exact scenario: clean_filename("/images/image.raw.xz?Expires=123&Signature=abc/def/ghi") == "image.raw.xz".

[HIGH] Signed URL credentials leaked in log output.

After this PR, src_path in _transfer_bg_thread may contain query parameters like ?Expires=...&Signature=AbCdEf...&Key-Pair-Id=KXYZ123. This is logged at INFO level:

self.logger.info(f"Writing image to storage in the background: {src_path}")

The Signature and Key-Pair-Id values are authentication material that could be extracted from logs and replayed before expiration.

Suggested fix: log only the clean filename instead:

self.logger.info(f"Writing image to storage in the background: {self._filename(src_path)}")

AI-generated, human reviewed

Fixed in 8ff6181. The _transfer_bg_thread method now extracts the clean filename via self._filename(src_path) before logging, so only the filename (e.g. image.raw.xz) appears in logs instead of the full signed URL with credentials.

This was already addressed in the current revision. The log line now uses self._filename(src_path) which strips query parameters via clean_filename().

Fixed in commit 8ff6181. The log line now uses self._filename(src_path) (which calls clean_filename) instead of logging the raw src_path with query parameters.

Good security catch. Fixed in commit 8ff6181 -- the log line now uses self._filename(src_path) instead of the raw src_path, so only the clean filename is logged and no query parameters (containing Signature/Key-Pair-Id) are exposed.

Good catch on the security issue. Fixed -- the log line now uses self._filename(src_path) to log only the clean filename, not the full URL with credentials.

[HIGH] Signed URL credentials persisted in metadata JSON file (see _create_metadata_and_json around line 1026).

The full src_path (now including query parameters with Signature, Key-Pair-Id, Expires) is stored in a metadata dictionary:

metadata_dict = {"path": str(src_path)}

This is serialized to JSON and written to exporter storage as filename + ".metadata", persisting authentication material indefinitely.

Suggested fix: strip query parameters before storing:

metadata_dict = {"path": clean_filename(src_path) if isinstance(src_path, str) and "?" in src_path else str(src_path)}

AI-generated, human reviewed

Fixed in 8ff6181. The metadata dictionary now uses clean_filename(src_path) instead of str(src_path), so query parameters containing authentication material are stripped before being persisted to the JSON metadata file.

This was already addressed in the current revision. The metadata dict now uses clean_filename(src_path) to strip query parameters before persisting.

Fixed in commit 8ff6181. The metadata dict now stores clean_filename(src_path) instead of str(src_path), so query parameters with authentication material are never persisted.

Agreed -- storing signed URL credentials in the metadata file was a security issue. Fixed in commit 8ff6181 by using clean_filename(src_path) for the metadata "path" field, which strips all query parameters before persisting.

Good catch. Fixed -- metadata_dict["path"] now uses clean_filename(src_path) to strip query parameters before persisting to the metadata JSON file.

[MEDIUM] _get_decompression_command does not handle .zst extension.

The implementation handles .gz/.gzip and .xz but has no branch for .zst. A .zst compressed image fetched from a signed URL would be treated as uncompressed, silently producing a corrupt flash.

Suggested fix: add a .zst branch returning "zstdcat |" and a corresponding test case.

AI-generated, human reviewed

Acknowledged. Adding .zst/zstdcat support is a valid enhancement but is out of scope for this PR, which focuses specifically on fixing signed URL handling. The .zst gap predates this PR and applies equally to non-signed URLs. I'd suggest tracking this as a separate issue.

Good catch on the missing .zst extension, but this is a pre-existing gap that was present before this PR. Adding .zst support would change the scope of this fix beyond the original issue (preserving URL query parameters for signed URLs). I would suggest tracking this as a separate issue/PR to keep changes focused.

Good catch. Adding .zst support with zstdcat | and a corresponding test case in the next push.

Added .zst support in commit e5b532c. The _get_decompression_command() function now includes a .zst branch returning "zstdcat |", and test_decompression_command_with_query_params covers .zst for both PosixPath, HTTP URL, and query-parameter paths.

Update: reconsidered and added .zst/zstdcat support in e5b532c after all, since it was straightforward and prevents potential silent corruption. Test cases included for .zst with PosixPath, HTTP URL, and query parameter scenarios.

Good point. Added .zst support returning "zstdcat |" along with test cases for both PosixPath and string URL inputs.

[MEDIUM] No test coverage for ridesx _upload_file_if_needed with signed URL paths.

This PR changes this line from Path(path_buf).name to clean_filename(path_buf), but there is no test in ridesx verifying that filename extraction works correctly when query parameters are present.

Suggested fix: add a test verifying clean_filename() is called correctly, e.g. by testing with a path like /images/image.raw.xz?Expires=123&Signature=abc.

[MEDIUM] Inline comments could be replaced with self-documenting code.

The project convention states comments are only acceptable as a last resort when the code cannot be refactored to be self-explanatory. The inline comments here explaining query parameter preservation could be eliminated by extracting the pattern into a well-named helper method or relying on docstrings.

AI-generated, human reviewed

Fixed in 8ff6181. Replaced the inline comments with self-documenting code: extracted path_with_query() helper and added docstrings to clean_filename() and operator_for_path() that explain the signed URL behavior directly.

The inline comments explain why query parameters need to be preserved (signed URLs with authentication tokens), which is not immediately obvious from the code alone. The helper functions (clean_filename, path_with_query) are self-documenting for what they do, but the comments provide context on why they exist. Happy to remove them if the team feels strongly about it.

Addressed in commit 8ff6181 by extracting the path_with_query() helper function, eliminating the inline comments.

Addressed by extracting the logic into well-named helper functions: clean_filename() and path_with_query(), each with docstrings that explain their purpose. The inline comments in operator_for_path have been replaced with the function's docstring explaining the signed URL behavior.

Agreed. Replaced the inline comments with the self-documenting path_with_query() helper. The function name and its docstring convey the intent without needing inline comments.

[LOW] Flash integration tests use brittle positional arg capture.

Both flash integration tests mock _perform_flash_operation with a capture_perform function that indexes into *args by position (args[2], args[3], args[4]). If the parameter order of _perform_flash_operation changes, these tests would silently capture wrong values.

Suggested fix: use named parameters instead:

def capture_perform(partition, block_device, path, image_url, should_download_to_httpd, *rest):

AI-generated, human reviewed

Fixed in 9ce59ff. The last remaining test using positional arg capture (test_flash_http_url_with_oci_credentials_still_uses_direct_http_path) now uses named parameters matching the full _perform_flash_operation signature, consistent with the other test.

Fixed in 8ff6181. Both capture_perform functions in the flash integration tests now use named parameters instead of positional *args indexing, so they won't silently break if the parameter order of _perform_flash_operation changes.

Fixed in 9ce59ff. The capture_perform functions in both flash integration tests now use named parameters (partition, block_device, path, image_url, should_download_to_httpd) instead of positional *args indexing, making them resilient to parameter reordering.

Fixed in 15d3321. The capture_perform function in the flash integration tests now uses named parameters instead of brittle positional indexing (args[2], args[3], etc.). The newer test (test_flash_bearer_token_signed_url_preserves_query_params) also uses named parameters to stay consistent.
