Harden remaining slug-to-path call sites and invalid slug diagnostics

[VectorPeak]

Follow-up from #5829.

Additional defense-in-depth items remain around untrusted names becoming filesystem paths or unclear diagnostics:

• getCredentialCachePath constructs a path directly from sourceSlug.
• Permission/config catch blocks should distinguish slug-validation failures from filesystem I/O failures.
• Validation error file fields should avoid echoing unsafe slug-derived paths such as sources/../sessions/config.json.
• Silent catch blocks should add debug logging where useful.
• Related local test isolation issues should be fixed so full desktop test runs remain deterministic.

Goal: route remaining slug/name-to-path construction through explicit validation, improve diagnostics, and add focused traversal/regression coverage.

Triage

• Type: bug (security hardening)
• Labels: type/bug, category/security, scope/credential-security, priority/P2, welcome-pr
• Next: Add assertValidSourceSlug to getCredentialCachePath in session-mcp-server; improve error discrimination in catch blocks

Confirmed the gap: getSourcePath in both session-tools-core and shared/sources/storage.ts already validates slugs via assertValidSourceSlug, but getCredentialCachePath in session-mcp-server/src/index.ts:95 constructs a path directly from sourceSlug with no validation — a path traversal risk for credential cache files.

The five items listed are all concrete and actionable. This is a straightforward follow-up to #5829.

Source Investigation

All five items confirmed in code:

1. getCredentialCachePath (session-mcp-server/src/index.ts:95-96) — join(workspaceRootPath, 'sources', sourceSlug, ...) with no assertValidSourceSlug call. Fix: add the same validation that getSourcePath uses in session-tools-core and shared/sources/storage.ts.

2. Catch block conflation (session-mcp-server/src/index.ts:120-122) — readCredentialCache catches all errors identically (return null). A slug validation failure should surface differently from a missing file or corrupt JSON.

3. Unsafe path in error output (shared/src/config/validators.ts:537) — validateSource sets file = sources/${slug}/config.json before calling assertValidSourceSlug, so a malicious slug like ../sessions produces sources/../sessions/config.json in the error report. Fix: validate first, or use a generic file identifier on validation failure.

4. Silent catch blocks — readCredentialCache swallows all exceptions silently. Adding debug logging (consistent with the debug() pattern used in config/watcher.ts) would aid diagnosis.

5. Test isolation — not investigated in depth, but the existing source-helpers.test.ts uses tempDir-based paths which is the right pattern.

Confidence: confirmed — all gaps are real and the fix paths are clear. Community PRs welcome.

中文说明

• 类型: bug（安全加固）
• 标签: type/bug, category/security, scope/credential-security, priority/P2, welcome-pr
• 下一步: 在 session-mcp-server 的 getCredentialCachePath 中加入 assertValidSourceSlug；改进 catch 块中的错误区分

已确认缺口：session-tools-core 和 shared/sources/storage.ts 中的 getSourcePath 已经通过 assertValidSourceSlug 验证 slug，但 session-mcp-server/src/index.ts:95 中的 getCredentialCachePath 直接用 sourceSlug 拼接路径，没有验证——存在路径遍历风险。

issue 中列出的五项都是具体可操作的，是 #5829 的直接后续。

源码调查

五项全部在代码中确认：

1. getCredentialCachePath (session-mcp-server/src/index.ts:95-96) — 直接 join(workspaceRootPath, 'sources', sourceSlug, ...)，没有调用 assertValidSourceSlug。修复方式：加入 session-tools-core 和 shared/sources/storage.ts 中已有的验证。

2. catch 块混淆 (session-mcp-server/src/index.ts:120-122) — readCredentialCache 对所有错误统一 return null。slug 验证失败应与文件缺失或 JSON 损坏区分开。

3. 错误输出中的不安全路径 (shared/src/config/validators.ts:537) — validateSource 在调用 assertValidSourceSlug 之前就设置了 file = sources/${slug}/config.json，恶意 slug 如 ../sessions 会在错误报告中产生 sources/../sessions/config.json。修复：先验证，或在验证失败时使用通用文件标识。

4. 静默 catch 块 — readCredentialCache 吞掉所有异常。添加 debug 日志（与 config/watcher.ts 中使用的 debug() 模式一致）有助于排查。

5. 测试隔离 — 未深入调查，但现有 source-helpers.test.ts 使用基于 tempDir 的路径，模式正确。

置信度：已确认 — 所有缺口真实存在，修复路径清晰。欢迎社区 PR。

This issue is the defense-in-depth follow-up to the merged path-traversal fix in PR #5829 (fix(desktop): reject unsafe source slugs before deletion). The scope listed here — getCredentialCachePath slug validation, distinguishing slug-validation failures from filesystem I/O failures in catch blocks, avoiding unsafe slug-derived paths in validation error file fields, and the test-isolation fix for credential-manager-renew.test.ts leaking a global mock.module — directly maps to the open items identified in the maintainer verification reviews on #5829 (specifically the F1 test-isolation finding and the cross-package consistency notes).

Linking for continuity:

• fix(desktop): reject unsafe source slugs before deletion #5829 — original CWE-22 path-traversal fix (merged)

I'll take this one. I'll keep it scoped to the credential-cache path validation / diagnostics follow-up and avoid overlapping #5911.
