When a GSM secret contains a YAML mapping, the sidecar currently censors only the whole file content as a single pattern. Values extracted individually via yq, awk, sed, or cut bypass censoring.

Parse the payload as YAML after adding the whole-file pattern, and add each individual string value as a separate censor entry. Non-YAML payloads are silently ignored so plain-text secrets continue to work.

Updates csi_secrets to censor individual non-empty string values from YAML-mapped GSM secrets in CI logs. The complete secret payload remains censored.

Invalid YAML, non-string values, and empty values are ignored. Plain-text secrets continue to work. Adds table-driven tests for these cases.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds YAML parsing for GSM secret payloads. Non-empty string values are registered as additional censor patterns. Tests cover valid values, malformed YAML, non-string values, and empty values.

Layer / File(s) Summary
YAML value registration and validation
pkg/steps/csi_secrets/censoring.go, pkg/steps/csi_secrets/censoring_test.go
RegisterGSMCredentialsForCensoring now registers non-empty string values from YAML payloads in addition to the full payload. Tests cover multiple values and ignored inputs.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7a389

Nested YAML credentials such as kubeconfig tokens may appear unredacted in CI logs or artifacts, so recursive censor registration should be added before merge.

Sensitive Data Exposure

Reachability: Internal
Exploitability: Difficult
CWE: CWE-532 — Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File

Censor nested YAML string values.

addYAMLValuesToCensor registers only root-level strings. Nested YAML objects decode as map[string]interface{} and sequences as []interface{}, so nested kubeconfig tokens are omitted. The shared censor protects CI log output and the verbose JSON artifact, but full-payload censoring cannot redact a separately emitted scalar. Recursively walk mappings and sequences, and add a nested-token test.

Proposed fix
 func addYAMLValuesToCensor(payload []byte, censor *secrets.DynamicCensor) {
-	var data map[string]interface{}
-	if err := yaml.Unmarshal(payload, &data); err != nil || data == nil {
+	var data interface{}
+	if err := yaml.Unmarshal(payload, &data); err != nil {
 		return
 	}
-	for _, v := range data {
-		if s, ok := v.(string); ok && s != "" {
-			censor.AddSecrets(s)
+
+	var addValue func(interface{})
+	addValue = func(value interface{}) {
+		switch value := value.(type) {
+		case string:
+			if value != "" {
+				censor.AddSecrets(value)
+			}
+		case map[string]interface{}:
+			for _, nestedValue := range value {
+				addValue(nestedValue)
+			}
+		case []interface{}:
+			for _, nestedValue := range value {
+				addValue(nestedValue)
+			}
 		}
 	}
