CACHEKIT_DEPLOYMENT_UUID had no validator. Any string loaded, showed up in the settings' repr, str and get_safe_repr(), and was quoted, together with Python's own UUID parse error (which quotes it too), in the ConfigurationError raised when an encrypting cache was built. A master key pasted into the wrong variable therefore ended up in logs and error trackers (CWE-532).

Change

  • CachekitConfig.deployment_uuid gets a field validator. It refuses exactly what uuid.UUID() refuses, at load and on assignment to get_settings(), and returns every other value unchanged. The value is a key-derivation input, so nothing is narrowed or rewritten: upper case, braces, urn:uuid: and unhyphenated forms still load byte-identical and derive the same tenant in auto mode, and interop mode still refuses a non-canonical form. None and "" still mean unset (the protocol literal "default"). The message names the field, never the value, and is raised outside the except, so the parse error is not its __context__.
  • The handler's message for the deployment_uuid= parameter is now Invalid deployment_uuid parameter (must be valid UUID), with no value and no chained exception.

Behaviour change (breaking)

A CACHEKIT_DEPLOYMENT_UUID that does not parse as a UUID now fails when cachekit loads its settings, which import cachekit does. That applies to every process, including one that never encrypts, as it already does for any other malformed CACHEKIT_ variable. Before this change it failed only when an encrypting cache was built.

Tests

  • tests/unit/test_single_tenant_mode.py: a table of accepted forms (load and assignment unchanged, same tenant as str(uuid.UUID(value))), the interop canonical-form refusal per non-canonical form, unset and empty values, and refused forms at load and on assignment, where a refused assignment leaves the setting unchanged.
  • tests/unit/config/test_redacting_settings.py: a non-repeating 64-hex key as the deployment UUID through the environment (constructor, from_env(), get_settings()), through assignment (a new row in the existing assignment-refusal table, which also runs the frame-locals checks), and through the deployment_uuid= parameter. The env and assignment routes assert that no 16-character window of the key appears in str(), errors() or json() and that no frame local below the caller holds it. The parameter route asserts the message carries no window of the key and that nothing is chained to it; frame locals on that route hold the caller's own argument and are out of scope here.

Docs: docs/configuration.md, docs/error-codes.md (new Invalid deployment UUID entry) and SECURITY.md. Companion docs-site change: cachekit-io/docs#171.

Closes LAB-8772

…ing it

CACHEKIT_DEPLOYMENT_UUID had no validator, so any string loaded, printed in the
settings' repr/str/get_safe_repr(), and was quoted, with Python's own parse error,
in the ConfigurationError raised when an encrypting cache was built. A master key
pasted into the wrong variable ended up in logs (CWE-532).

The setting now refuses what uuid.UUID() refuses, at load and on assignment, and
returns every other value unchanged, so each deployment that encrypts today
derives the same tenant. The handler's message for the deployment_uuid=
parameter names its source only and has no exception chained to it.

BREAKING CHANGE: a CACHEKIT_DEPLOYMENT_UUID that does not parse as a UUID now
fails when cachekit loads its settings (at import), in any process, including
one that never encrypts. It used to fail only when an encrypting cache was built.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Single-tenant encryption uses the deployment UUID setting; when unset or empty, the default tenant is used.
    • UUIDs are validated when settings are loaded or assigned. Invalid values are rejected without exposing the supplied value or parser details in error messages.
    • Interoperability mode requires the canonical UUID format.
  • Documentation

    • Updated configuration and error guidance to explain UUID requirements, accepted formats, validation points and default behaviour.

Walkthrough

Settings now validate deployment UUID values. Tenant resolution accepts parseable UUID forms and uses the default tenant when the setting is absent or empty. Handler errors identify the invalid UUID source without quoting the value or retaining the parser exception as context.

Changes

Deployment UUID handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Settings validation and tenant resolution
src/cachekit/config/settings.py, tests/unit/test_single_tenant_mode.py, docs/configuration.md
Settings reject truthy deployment UUID values that uuid.UUID() cannot parse. Tests cover accepted forms, tenant canonicalisation, interop mode, assignment, and absent or empty values. The configuration guide documents the default and load-time validation.
Error redaction and documentation
src/cachekit/cache_handler.py, tests/unit/config/test_redacting_settings.py, docs/error-codes.md, SECURITY.md
Handler errors name the invalid UUID source without quoting its value or retaining the parser exception as context. Tests check rendered errors and exception context. The error reference and security documentation describe the validation and redaction behaviour.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to e702a

Malformed UUID settings now fail early, while errors avoid echoing rejected values. The documentation explains that valid UUIDs may appear in logs and warns against using secrets as deployment UUIDs; no merge-blocking risk remains.

A value that parses as a UUID is a tenant name, not a secret: it shows in
the settings repr and in the single-tenant INFO log. Any 32 hex digits
parse, so say so and warn against setting a secret there.
