Proposed Changes

  • Create decrypted CLI output through the atomic output helper with mode 0600.
  • Require output-helper callers to choose the destination mode explicitly.
  • Preserve an existing destination when a write fails and add regression coverage for new and existing files.

Fixes DSPX-4696.

Checklist

  • I have added or updated unit tests
  • I have added or updated integration tests (not needed for this file-mode change)
  • I have added or updated documentation (no user-facing command behavior changed)

Testing Instructions

Passed:

cd otdfctl
go test ./... -race
golangci-lint run --max-same-issues 0 --max-issues-per-linter 0 --timeout 10m

cd ../sdk
go test -run 'TestREADMECodeBlocks|TestDecryptBytes_InvalidCiphertext'

Repository-wide checks attempted:

  • make lint stops at buf lint service because the configured Buf API token is invalid.
  • make test reaches unrelated integration suites, then fails because Colima/Docker, Keycloak, and the local platform service are unavailable.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Security

    • Decrypted output files are now restricted to the creating user by default, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
  • Reliability

    • Decryption output is written more safely, helping prevent incomplete files from replacing existing results.
    • Existing destination files remain intact when cleanup or writing fails.
    • Successful output replacement now applies the requested file permissions consistently.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change makes streamio.OutputFile accept per-file modes and applies them during commit. Decryption now writes through OutputFile, uses mode 0600, cleans up failed output, and commits successful output.

Changes

Secure output handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Parameterized output file modes
otdfctl/pkg/streamio/output.go, otdfctl/pkg/streamio/output_test.go
OutputFile stores a requested mode and applies it during commit. Tests cover requested permissions, replacement, cleanup, and updated constructor calls.
Decrypted output commit flow
otdfctl/cmd/tdf/decrypt.go
Decryption creates output with mode 0600, cleans up after write or commit errors, and commits successful output.

Decrypted output permissions are security-sensitive. Add a command-level regression test to ensure decrypt output remains private.

Security Misconfiguration

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-732 — Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource

Add a decrypt command regression test.

The existing BATS suite is disabled, and the --out path has no command-level permission assertion. Add a reachable test that decrypts with --out and asserts the committed file mode is 0o600.
