리뷰 · 우선순위 75 / 80이 PR(작성자 abhisheksharma2411, base 탐지 규칙은 의도적으로 좁다. 두 번째 고침은 테스트 가능성과 직결된다. 지금 tip의 점수는 75다. 동기는 실제 유출(#4623이 아직 OPEN인 문서)에 붙고, 규칙이 거짓 양성 두 바퀴를 거쳐 좁혀졌으며, import 부작용 제거와 테스트·뮤테이션이 한 세트다. 76 이상으로 안 올린 이유는 (a) #4623 없이 단독 머지하면 tip CI의 privacy 게이트가 즉시 빨개져 머지 순서가 하드 디펜던시이고, (b) 라인 scanText JSDoc (기존 ~197–202) - 본문은 “This module runs its scan on import…”라고 적혀 있는데, 이 PR이 그 부작용을 제거한다. JSDoc을 같이 고치지 않으면 다음 기여자가 또 모듈 스코프 스캔을 전제로 짠다. 메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

Do not allow a ProxyCommand because it contains example.com.
isAllowedSshEndpoint checks the complete command line. A command such as ProxyCommand /usr/bin/tunnel --target prod.internal --help example.com passes this condition because it contains example.com, even though it exposes prod.internal. The directive regex captures the full command, this allowlist returns true, and addFindingsForPattern drops the finding. Apply reserved-host allowlisting only to HostName values. For ProxyCommand, allow only a complete placeholder or a bare SSH substitution token.

Rebased onto Why it stays draft
That is the detector working — those findings are real, and they are exactly what #4623 is removing. So this PR cannot go green until #4623 lands. #4623 should merge first; this one turns red into a permanent guard behind it. I have not touched that devlog here, because duplicating @luvs01's cleanup would just conflict with it. Everything else is green: Two fixes, both the same shape as the bug this PR is aboutThe report printed the endpoint it found. The fixture pinned the real hostname and login. The regression test and the rationale comment both spelled them out. #4623 removes them from the devlog — and this file would then have become their permanent home, quietly undoing that cleanup. The fixture now uses a synthetic endpoint (the regex cannot tell the difference), and the comment describes the incident without restating the values. I only noticed either because the rebase made me run the scan against the real tree instead of the fixtures. Worth flagging in case the same reasoning applies to other finding kinds. |

privacy:scan knew about tokens, emails and home paths, and nothing about infrastructure. A working Host block was therefore publishable: the scan passes on dev today, where devlog/_fin/260731_pr_merge_round/022_remote_test_offload.md still carries a real HostName, account and Cloudflare ProxyCommand. lidge-jun#4623 removes them by hand; nothing stops the next devlog reintroducing them. Two detectors, both anchored to the SSH config grammar: HostName value must be the whole rest of the line ProxyCommand command line, matched separately `User` is deliberately not matched. It is an ordinary English word and even line-anchored it fires on wrapped prose — "…the\nuser configuration." and "…the\nuser notice." both matched during development, as did `hostname === undefined ? ...` in a test file before the value was anchored. The username is also the least sensitive part of a Host block, and MAINTAINER_HOME_USERNAME already covers it in path form. A ProxyCommand containing %h is NOT allowlisted. Only a bare %h is. The substitution token does not make the binary path, the access method or the tunnel any less of a leak — allowing it would have passed the exact line this exists to catch. Also moves the repo scan behind import.meta.main. It ran at module scope, so `import { scanText }` executed a full scan as a side effect and a failing scan called process.exit(1), killing the importing test process. Invisible while the tree is clean; adding the detector above broke privacy-scan-meta-key.test.ts, which does nothing but import the seam this file exports for testing. Refs lidge-jun#4623

Two review nits from the PR gate. `scanText`'s JSDoc repeated the whole import-side-effect explanation that `runScan` already carried, so an edit to either left the other stale. It now states only its own concern — the test seam — and points at `runScan` for the rest. `runScan`'s JSDoc sat above the `if (import.meta.main)` guard rather than the function it describes, so tooling and readers attached it to the wrong construct. Moved onto the declaration; the guard reads fine unannotated.

Both review nits are fixed in JSDoc. You were right that it was stale, though the specific failure was duplication: Placement. The
This scan runs in CI on a public repo, so printing the value would have republished the endpoint into a public log — the scanner leaking what it was written to catch. Ordering — agreed, and it's the reason this stays in draft. #4623 first (or in the same landing).

Moved onto the declaration; the guard reads fine unannotated. * fix(privacy): evaluate SSH endpoint allowances per token The allowance asked whether a directive value *contained* something allowlisted. For HostName that is the same as asking about its single token, but a ProxyCommand value is a command line, so one reserved name or one leading substitution cleared the whole line and the real endpoint with it. Two bypasses followed, both now pinned as tests: a value beginning with "$" was allowed outright by the templated-prefix rule, and an unanchored reserved-name test cleared a command whose proxy hop was example.com while it named the real host three tokens later. The same unanchoring read example.com.internal-buildfarm.net as documentation. Every token must now be a placeholder, and every placeholder rule is anchored to the whole token. A ProxyCommand is a leak by default; only a wholly templated value is documentation. Also accept the two ssh_config spellings that hid a directive from the detector entirely: a trailing "# comment" after a HostName value, and the "ProxyCommand=value" form. The "HostName=value" form is deliberately not accepted, because that shape is ordinary TypeScript and three such lines are in src/server/ports.ts and src/server/port-reclaim.ts today.

"privacy-scan-ssh-endpoint" is not covered by the ci-workflows regex seeds, so the new file needs an explicit entry in both tables.

Why
#4623 removes a working SSH
Hostblock from a published devlog by hand. It had to be done by hand becauseprivacy:scancannot see it. On untoucheddev:The scanner has rules for tokens, emails and home-directory paths, and none for infrastructure. So that document was publishable, and so is the next one that pastes a
Hostblock.The detectors
HostNameProxyCommandOn the current tree the only two findings in the whole repo are the two real lines:
Zero false positives across 5000+ tracked files — but only after two rounds of them, which is what shaped the rule:
Useris not matched at all. It's an ordinary English word. Even anchored to line-start it fired on wrapped prose —user configuration.anduser notice.in two devlogs. It's also the least sensitive part of a Host block, andMAINTAINER_HOME_USERNAMEalready covers the account in path form.HostName's value is anchored to end-of-line. Without that,hostname === undefined ? { grokHome } : …ingrok-config-inject.test.tsmatched, because the keyword compare is case-insensitive.ProxyCommandcontaining%his not allowlisted — only a bare%his. My first version allowed any value containing a substitution token, which would have passed the exact line this exists to catch: the binary path, the access method and the tunnel are the leak, and%hdoesn't launder them.One false alarm I checked so nobody else has to:
lidgeai.comstill appears inSPONSORS.mdand two scanner files. That's the published sponsorship contact, already allowlisted bySPONSORSHIP_CONTACT_FILES. Not related.The second fix: the scan ran on import
scripts/privacy-scan.tsexecuted a full repo scan at module scope, soimport { scanText }ran it as a side effect — and a failing scan calledprocess.exit(1), taking the importing process with it.That's invisible while the tree is clean, and bites the moment any detector finds something. Adding the rule above broke
privacy-scan-meta-key.test.ts, which does nothing but import the same seam this file deliberately exports for testing. Now gated behindimport.meta.main; the CLI is unchanged.Sequencing
This PR makes
privacy:scanred ondev, because the leak is still there. That's the gate working, not a regression — but it means this should land after #4623, or alongside it.Verified they compose: with #4623's version of that file applied locally and this scanner in place,
Privacy scan passed. I did not include the redaction here — that's #4623's change and duplicating it would put us back in each other's way.Verification
