Security NFR Assessment: test-framework (Rust CLI)

Assessment Date: February 7, 2026 Scope: Rust CLI workspace (tf-config, tf-logging, tf-security) for QA process automation Risk Level: LOW (baseline implementation complete; anonymization & retention policies pending)

Executive Summary

The test-framework CLI tool implements strong baseline security controls for a local automation tool. Sensitive field redaction is comprehensive and well-tested. OS keyring integration prevents plaintext secret storage. No hardcoded secrets found.

Critical gaps are architectural rather than implementation gaps:

  • Anonymization pipeline for cloud operations (story 0.7 pending)
  • Audit log retention & purge policies (no story assigned)
  • Dependency vulnerability scanning in CI/CD (cargo-audit missing)

Compliance status:

  • GDPR: Partial (redaction done; anonymization & purge policies pending)
  • Audit logging: Baseline (logs without PII done; retention policy pending)
  • Secret management: Compliant
  • Code safety: Compliant (#![forbid(unsafe_code)])

Key Findings

✓ PASS: Sensitive Field Redaction (Story 0-5)

Status: IMPLEMENTED & TESTED Coverage: 12 base field names + 26 compound suffixes + URL params + span fields Test count: 25+ redaction-specific unit tests + 46 total tf-logging tests

Evidence:

  • SENSITIVE_FIELDS: token, api_key, apikey, key, secret, password, passwd, pwd, auth, authorization, credential, credentials
  • SENSITIVE_SUFFIXES: 26 patterns (access_token, auth_token, session_key, api_secret, user_password, db_credential, etc.)
  • RedactingVisitor implements tracing::field::Visit with is_sensitive() checks on all types
  • URL redaction via redact_url_sensitive_params() handles 27+ param names with encoding variants
  • Parent span fields processed through same redaction pipeline
  • All workspace tests pass: 263 tf-config, 61 tf-logging, 30 tf-security

Design:

  • Redaction happens at log emission time (via custom FormatEvent formatter)
  • Safe for all log levels (INFO, DEBUG, WARN, ERROR)
  • Free-text message content NOT scanned (documented limitation; users must use named fields)

✓ PASS: No Hardcoded Secrets

Status: VERIFIED Evidence:

  • Codebase scan: zero hardcoded credentials in non-test code
  • Test fixtures use generic placeholders (test-token, secret_value_123, etc.)
  • Config references secrets via ${SECRET:key_name} pattern (documented, not yet runtime-resolved)

✓ PASS: OS Keyring Integration

Status: IMPLEMENTED (tf-security story 0-3, complete) Platform support:

  • Linux: gnome-keyring, kwallet (Secret Service D-Bus)
  • macOS: Keychain Access
  • Windows: Credential Manager

Design:

  • SecretStore wraps keyring crate v3.6
  • Thread-safe (Send + Sync)
  • Error handling returns hints, never exposes secret values
  • Debug impl safe (service_name only)

Operations requirement: Ensure OS keyring service is running in deployment/CI.

✓ PASS: Custom Debug Implementations

Status: IMPLEMENTED Coverage: 6 structs with custom Debug impls hiding secrets

Struct Redaction
JiraConfig endpoint URLs + token [REDACTED]
SquashConfig endpoint URLs + password [REDACTED]
LlmConfig endpoint URLs + api_key [REDACTED]
SecretStore service_name only (no secrets)
LogGuard RAII, no sensitive fields
LoadedTemplate custom impl for template content

✓ PASS: Unsafe Code Restrictions

Status: ENFORCED

  • tf-config: #![forbid(unsafe_code)] (strictest)
  • tf-logging: #![deny(unsafe_code)]
  • Zero unsafe blocks in security-critical paths
  • Platform/crypto operations delegated to audited crates

⚠ CONCERN: Dependency Vulnerability Scanning

Status: GAP Current: No cargo-audit in CI/CD Direct deps: serde, tracing, keyring, thiserror (all recent, stable versions) Risk: Unknown vulnerabilities in transitive dependencies

Action:

  1. Immediate: cargo install cargo-audit && cargo audit
  2. CI/CD: Add cargo audit step to GitHub Actions
  3. Policy: Document version pinning + monthly audit schedule

⚠ PARTIAL: Anonymization for Cloud Operations

Status: NOT YET IMPLEMENTED (story 0.7 planned) Requirement (PRD/Architecture): "Anonymisation obligatoire avant tout envoi cloud" Current: Redaction in logs only (insufficient for GDPR compliance) Gap:

  • No anonymization rules defined (PII patterns, Jira keys, etc.)
  • No anonymization functions in tf-security yet
  • No cloud LLM integration (tf-llm crate does not exist)
  • No pre-send validation gate for PII detection

Action: Implement story 0.7 (anonymization pipeline) before cloud LLM integration.

⚠ PARTIAL: Audit Log Retention & Purge

Status: NOT YET IMPLEMENTED (no story assigned) Requirement (Architecture): "Rétention 90 jours, purge données locales < 24h" Current:

  • Daily log rotation (tracing-appender)
  • No retention policy tracking
  • No automated purge

Gaps:

  • No audit_retention_days config field
  • No background purge job
  • No local data lifecycle management
  • No GDPR right-to-be-forgotten mechanism

Action: Implement as story 0.6 or 0.8 before production if GDPR applies.

Test Coverage Summary

Crate Test Count Key Coverage
tf-config 263 URL redaction, config validation, redact trait impls
tf-logging 61 Sensitive field redaction (25+ tests), span fields, RFC 3339 formatting
tf-security 30 SecretStore API, error handling, Debug impl
Total 354 0 failures, 16 ignored (require OS keyring)

Security Threat Analysis

CLI-Specific (Applicable)

Threat Status Evidence
Hardcoded secrets ✓ PASS Zero found in production code
Plaintext credentials ✓ PASS OS keyring storage only
Secret leakage in logs ✓ PASS 25+ redaction tests, custom Debug impls
URL param leakage ✓ PASS 27+ sensitive param names redacted
Error message leaks ✓ PASS Error variants tested, never include secret values
Unsafe code ✓ PASS forbid/deny attributes enforced

Web-Specific (NOT Applicable)

Threat Status Reason
SQL injection N/A No database queries
XSS N/A No web UI
CSRF N/A No web endpoints
YAML injection N/A Trusted local config files (serde_yaml 0.9 in use, no known CVEs)

Compliance Status

GDPR (Personal Data Processing)

Requirement Status Evidence
Data minimization PARTIAL Logs redact PII; anonymization pipeline pending
Right to erasure NOT IMPLEMENTED No purge on demand; awaits story implementation
Data retention limit PARTIAL 90-day policy documented, not enforced
Audit trail BASELINE JSON logs without PII; no audit-specific trail
Data protection PARTIAL Keyring storage OK; local purge < 24h not implemented

Status: NOT READY for GDPR compliance until stories 0.6 (purge) & 0.7 (anonymization) complete.

Audit Logging

Requirement Status Evidence
Minimal logs ✓ PASS Structured JSON: timestamp, level, message, target, spans
No sensitive data ✓ PASS 25+ redaction tests verify masking
Timestamp precision ✓ PASS RFC 3339 UTC (manual algorithm, no chrono dependency)
Structured format ✓ PASS JSON with typed fields (not opaque strings)
Retention policy ⚠ PENDING No story assigned; architecture mandates 90 days
Purge automation ⚠ PENDING No story assigned; architecture mandates < 24h local

Priority Actions

Priority Action Owner Timeline
IMMEDIATE Install cargo-audit; run cargo audit DevOps Before release
IMMEDIATE Add cargo-audit to GitHub Actions CI DevOps Before release
HIGH Implement anonymization pipeline (story 0.7) Engineering Before cloud LLM integration
HIGH Implement retention & purge (story 0.6 or 0.8) Engineering Before go-live if GDPR applies
MEDIUM Code review checklist: verify Debug impls for sensitive configs Engineering Ongoing (PR reviews)
MEDIUM Document secret management policy in CONTRIBUTING.md Docs Before first external contribution
LOW Add pre-commit hook (git-secrets) DevOps Nice-to-have

Recommendation: Phased Release

Phase 1 (Current - Ready)

  • Deploy with local logging baseline (story 0-5 complete)
  • Use local LLM only (Ollama) — NO cloud LLM integration
  • Requires: cargo-audit in CI/CD

Phase 2 (Story 0.6-0.7)

  • Add anonymization pipeline
  • Implement retention & purge policies
  • Then enable cloud LLM mode
  • Requires: GDPR legal review before processing personal data

Phase 3 (Mature)

  • Add right-to-be-forgotten endpoint (API or CLI command)
  • Generate SBOM for compliance reports
  • Centralized audit log ingestion (if organizational policy requires)

Conclusion

The test-framework CLI demonstrates strong baseline security for local automation. Sensitive data redaction, secret storage, and code safety are mature and well-tested.

The tool is NOT YET ready for GDPR compliance or cloud data processing until anonymization and retention policies are implemented.

Immediate action: Add cargo-audit to CI/CD to close the dependency vulnerability scanning gap.

Next steps: Complete stories 0.6 (retention/purge) and 0.7 (anonymization) before production release with cloud features enabled.
