Problem

With enableLogging: true (which examples/README.md recommends):

  1. Large request bodies are never sent. sanitizeData truncates the serialized body and then
    JSON.parses the fragment, which throws inside the request interceptor. The caller gets
    Error: Unexpected error: Unterminated string in JSON at position 1000 (line 1 column 1001). A work item or page with real description_html crosses the 1000-character limit easily.
  2. Large error responses lose their HttpError. The same SyntaxError escapes handleError when
    the response body is over 1000 characters (for example an HTML 502 from a proxy).
  3. Each request is logged 79 times. The interceptor is registered on the global axios instance once per
    BaseResource constructor, and one PlaneClient runs that constructor 79 times.
  4. The host app's axios calls are affected. Because the interceptor is global, it logs them, and fails
    them if their body is large.
  5. OAuth secrets are logged in plain text. OAuthClient posts to ${baseUrl}/auth/o/token/ through the
    same global axios instance, so while any logging-enabled PlaneClient exists, the token request body
    (client_secret, code/refresh_token) is logged verbatim. Header redaction doesn't cover bodies.

Fix (src/api/BaseResource.ts)

  • sanitizeData returns the truncated text as a string and never throws.
  • The logger is installed once per Configuration, with a WeakSet guard.
  • It logs only requests under ${baseUrl}/api/v1. Matching baseUrl alone would still catch
    the OAuth token endpoint.
  • examples/README.md no longer claims response logging, which was never implemented.

v1 still uses the global axios instance, because tests/e2e/support/rate-limit.ts hooks it. Moving v1 to its
own instance, and adding logging to V2Transport, would be natural follow-ups. Happy to take either on if useful.

Tests

tests/unit/base-resource-logging.test.ts is offline (nock), with one test per defect above plus a redaction check.

Before the fix (on main):

FAIL tests/unit/base-resource-logging.test.ts
  BaseResource request logging
    ✕ sends a request whose body serializes past the truncation limit (10 ms)
    ✕ logs a truncated body as a string, with the api key redacted (1 ms)
    ✕ logs each request once, however many resources the client built (20 ms)
    ✕ raises HttpError for a failed request whose response body is large (7 ms)
    ✕ leaves the host application's own axios requests alone (1 ms)
    ✕ does not log the OAuth token exchange, whose body carries the client secret (5 ms)

Test Suites: 1 failed, 1 total
Tests:       6 failed, 6 total
Snapshots:   0 total
Time:        1.987 s

After: 6 passed. test:unit, check:types, check:lint, check:format and build all pass.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Request logging now redacts sensitive credentials and truncates logged bodies longer than 1,000 characters without changing the request sent to the server.
    • Each eligible SDK v1 API request is logged once. Unrelated application requests, OAuth token requests, and client.v2 requests are not included.
    • Large error responses continue to produce the expected HTTP errors.
  • Documentation
    • Updated the logging guide to describe what is logged and how sensitive or lengthy data is handled.

sanitizeData parsed a truncated JSON string, so with logging on any request
body over 1000 chars threw SyntaxError in the request interceptor and was
never sent, and a large error response surfaced as SyntaxError instead of
HttpError. The interceptor was also installed on the global axios instance
once per resource, logging every request 79 times, touching the host
application's own axios traffic, and logging OAuthClient's token requests
with client_secret, code and refresh_token in plain text.

Truncate to a string that never throws, install the logger once per
Configuration, and only log requests under the client's /api/v1 prefix.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The SDK now installs request logging once per configuration, filters requests by the configured API prefix, and sanitizes logged data. Tests cover logging scope and output, and the README documents the logging limits and exclusions.

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 481b6

Enabling logging no longer breaks requests or duplicates log entries. Opt-in logs can still contain secrets from request bodies or query strings. They can also contain requests from other clients or near-matching host-application paths. Tighten redaction and request scoping before relying on the documented redaction guarantee.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 481b6

Logging is now limited to the configured API prefix and no longer blocks large requests, but it can expose the beginning of a large API request or error response in logs without redacting body fields. The exposure requires logging to be enabled and access to those logs.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: Large v1 request bodies and error responses that previously failed during log sanitization can now have their first 1,000 serialized characters written to logs; truncation does not redact sensitive body fields.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — A logging-enabled configuration can observe matching requests made through global Axios by another client or host code. One interceptor per configuration reduces duplicate logs but does not establish request ownership; the same-prefix exposure also existed before this PR.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — If sensitive data occurs near the start of a large matching v1 body or error response, enabling logging can now send that data to console output. Exposure to a person or system requires access to the resulting logs; actual production payload contents and readership are unknown.
  • observed — Matching requests still log raw URLs and parameters, and short bodies are returned unchanged. The prefix check also accepts sibling paths such as /api/v10. These conditions were reachable through the prior unfiltered global interceptor, so they are not independently new exposures from this PR.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Normal OAuth token URLs lie outside /api/v1, and tests verify that an OAuth exchange and an unrelated-host Axios request produce no request log. V2's separate Axios instance does not traverse this interceptor.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — The WeakSet makes registration idempotent for resources sharing a Configuration, but the global interceptor does not recheck enableLogging or follow a later baseUrl change. This is a policy-lifecycle limitation, not evidence of a newly expanded logging audience.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Apply explicit sensitive-field redaction or an allowlist before logging v1 bodies, URLs, parameters, and error responses; truncation alone is not a confidentiality control.
  • proposed — If logging must be limited to a particular client, use client-owned request interception or an ownership check rather than URL prefix matching on global Axios; define how logging is disabled and interceptors are removed.

Sensitive Data Exposure

CWE: CWE-532 — Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File

Scope the logger to the client, not only its Configuration.

If two PlaneClient instances use the same baseUrl, each enabled configuration installs a global interceptor. Both interceptors then log either client's requests. A later client with enableLogging: false is logged by an earlier enabled client's interceptor. The WeakSet prevents duplicate registration among one client's resources, but it does not isolate clients. Use a client-owned Axios instance for SDK requests and its logger. Axios documents that interceptors registered on the default instance run for requests made through that instance. (github.com)

Redact body secrets before logging request data.

If an API request body contains a token or password within the first 1,000 characters, sanitizeData returns that body unchanged. The request logger then prints the secret. JSON serialization and truncation do not redact fields, even though the updated README promises token redaction. Redact sensitive body fields or omit bodies from logs. (github.com)

Sanitize query values on accepted API requests.

If an accepted API URL contains ?token=..., or the caller supplies a token in Axios params, the logger prints that value. sanitizeHeaders does not protect either field. Redact sensitive query values before logging the URL and params; the URL filter only limits which requests reach the log.

Require an API path boundary in the URL filter.

For apiPrefix ending in /api/v1, startsWith also accepts a host-application request to /api/v10. The global interceptor then logs that request, including its unsanitized URL, body, and params. Match /api/v1/ or the exact API root, and check the parsed origin and pathname rather than an unbounded string prefix.
