Pin the gitleaks download with a SHA-256 checksum

(Threat: T5 supply chain — an unpinned release download means a compromised or tampered gitleaks release asset executes in CI.)

  • gitleaks pinning: the secret-scanning workflow now verifies the gitleaks release tarball against a pinned SHA-256 (from the release checksums.txt) before installing it:

    env:
      GITLEAKS_VERSION: 8.21.2
      GITLEAKS_SHA256: 5bc41815076e6ed6ef8fbecc9d9b75bcae31f39029ceb55da08086315316e3ba
    run: |
      curl -sSfL -o gitleaks.tar.gz "https://github.com/gitleaks/gitleaks/releases/download/v${GITLEAKS_VERSION}/gitleaks_${GITLEAKS_VERSION}_linux_x64.tar.gz"
      echo "${GITLEAKS_SHA256}  gitleaks.tar.gz" | sha256sum -c -
      tar -xzf gitleaks.tar.gz gitleaks
  • gosec gate (unchanged, rationale documented): the standalone gosec scan stays advisory (-no-fail, with full SARIF upload to the Security tab). Its enforcing counterpart is golangci-lint (make lint), which honors the repo's per-site //nolint:gosec suppressions; the standalone binary can't read those, and globally excluding rule IDs (e.g. G101/G204) to make it hard-fail would blind release scans to new hard-coded creds / unsafe exec.

History

This PR originally also set toolchain go1.26.3 and bumped golang.org/x/net to v0.55.0 / golang.org/x/term to v0.43.0, taking govulncheck ./... from 6 reachable advisories to "No vulnerabilities found." Main has since independently moved to go 1.26.5 with those same dependency versions, so after rebasing onto current main the dependency changes are subsumed and only the gitleaks pin remains.


Part 6/6 of the stacked security series. Base: security/05-perms-and-exec-args.

📚 Stack (merge bottom-up)

  1. security: reject foreign-host URLs in api to prevent token leak #478 — reject foreign-host URLs in api (base main)
  2. security: strip ANSI/OSC escapes from API-controlled output #479 — strip ANSI/OSC escapes from output
  3. security: harden OAuth discovery and token endpoints #480 — harden OAuth discovery / token endpoints
  4. security: close config trust-boundary gaps and gate completion loader #481 — close config trust-boundary gaps + completion gate
  5. security: tighten config-dir perms and validate plugin scope argv #482 — tighten config-dir perms + plugin scope argv
  6. security: pin the gitleaks download with a SHA-256 checksum #483 — pin the gitleaks download with a SHA-256 checksum

Each is independent except #482 depends on #481 (shared root.go). #478 can land first/alone.


Summary by cubic

Pins and verifies the gitleaks v8.21.2 Linux tarball in CI using a release SHA-256 to block tampered downloads; extracts only the binary and installs it with install -m 0755 to /usr/local/bin (using GITLEAKS_VERSION/GITLEAKS_SHA256). The gosec scan stays advisory (-no-fail) with SARIF upload; enforcement remains via golangci-lint.

Written for commit 1405a57. Summary will update on new commits.

parsePath now validates absolute URLs against the configured base URL host:
a path is accepted only if it's relative or an absolute Basecamp URL on the
same host (path extracted, account segment dropped — the SDK re-prefixes the
configured account). Absolute URLs on any other host are rejected before any
network call, so the SDK never attaches the Authorization: Bearer header to a
foreign host. A stray leading slash ('/https://evil/…') and mixed-case schemes
('HTTPS://…') are normalized first so neither can smuggle an absolute URL past
the host check. Error propagated through get/post/put/delete; api_test.go
covers same-host extraction, query preservation, and foreign-host rejection.
API-controlled strings (names, summaries, notices, headlines, affordance
commands) reached styled/markdown sinks and the --watch TUI without ANSI
stripping, allowing terminal/OSC injection. Sanitize WithSummary/WithNotice/
WithDiagnostic at the source, the timeline watch TUI fields (creator name
stripped before the empty check so an all-escape name still falls back to a
placeholder), and presenter format helpers, with defense-in-depth at the
render sinks. Stripping is centralized in RenderTemplate + RenderHeadline so
schema headlines ({{.name}}/{{.subject}}/{{.content}}) and affordance commands
are all covered, including the identity-label headline fallback.
Assert the exact sanitized string instead of mirroring ansi.Strip,
which is a weaker contract than richtext.SanitizeTerminal and ties
the expectation to the third-party stripper's behavior.
Stripping keys let a hostile key like "\x1b[31mtitle" collapse onto a
legitimate "title", silently replacing or hiding that field in TTY
--jq output. Keys changed by sanitization are now visibly escaped via
strconv.Quote, so clean keys always keep their slot and no entry is
dropped. Also update a stale test comment that referenced ansi.Strip.
The escaped form of a hostile key could still collide with a literal
key that mimics escape notation (e.g. a real ESC-prefixed title vs the
text "\x1b[31mtitle"), nondeterministically dropping one entry. Clean
keys now claim their names first, and escaped keys re-quote with
delimiters until unique, in sorted order for deterministic output.

Request IDs and string ids print to line-oriented sinks, but
SanitizeTerminal preserves newlines/tabs (which inject lines or
columns into ids output) and deletes bare CR (which joins adjacent
words). A shared sanitizeSingleLine helper normalizes CR/CRLF to
newlines first, then strips and collapses all whitespace to single
spaces.
- Scheme-validate the discovery authorization_endpoint (https, or http on
  loopback) before it's dispatched to the OS browser launcher, so a hostile
  discovery doc can't hand the OS a file:// (or other) URL.
- Enforce RequireSecureURL on the DCR registration_endpoint.
- Set CheckRedirect on the OAuth HTTP client so token exchange/refresh POST
  bodies (auth code, refresh_token) aren't replayed to a redirect target.
  Idempotent GET/HEAD (OAuth discovery) may still follow redirects, so we
  don't break discovery or force an unintended Launchpad fallback.
- Trust-gate cache_dir, cache_enabled, llm_model, llm_max_concurrent and
  llm_token_budget so an untrusted local/repo config can't redirect cache
  writes or amplify paid-LLM usage; only honored from trusted sources.
  'config set' now also warns when these keys are written to an untrusted
  local config so the value isn't silently ignored on the next load.
- Scheme/host-validate llm_endpoint on accept (rejects file://, hostless and
  malformed forms) and re-validate at the root.go enforcement point so env/
  profile-sourced endpoints can't slip a non-http(s) scheme past
  RequireSecureURL, which only blocks http:// for non-localhost; this prevents
  leaking llm_api_key in cleartext.
- Gate the completion profile loader behind the TrustStore and strip control
  characters from completion descriptions.

- Create the global config dir at 0700 (it can hold credentials.json) in the
  skill-refresh and update-notice bootstrap paths, and harden it once early in
  root.go so an existing 0755 dir from an older version is tightened. The
  hardening is an atomic fd-based open(O_NOFOLLOW) -> fstat -> fchmod sequence
  that verifies a self-owned real directory on the open fd, so symlink swaps
  and writable ancestors can't redirect the chmod (no Lstat->Chmod TOCTOU),
  and a config dir under a sticky world-writable parent like /tmp is hardened
  like any other.
- Whitelist the plugin --scope value {user,project,local,global} read from
  installed_plugins.json before passing it to 'claude plugin uninstall',
  preventing a '-'-leading value from injecting a flag into the argv.
Verify the gitleaks release tarball against a pinned SHA-256 before
installing it in the secret-scanning workflow, so a compromised or
tampered release asset cannot execute in CI.

(Originally this PR also set toolchain go1.26.3 and bumped golang.org/x/net
to v0.55.0 to clear govulncheck-reachable advisories; main has since moved
to go 1.26.5 with those same dependency versions, so after rebasing the
dependency changes are subsumed and only the gitleaks pin remains.)

The standalone gosec scan stays advisory (-no-fail, full SARIF upload). Its
enforcing counterpart is golangci-lint (make lint), which honors the repo's
per-site //nolint:gosec suppressions; the standalone binary can't read those,
and globally excluding rule IDs (e.g. G101/G204) to make it hard-fail would
blind release scans to new hard-coded creds / unsafe exec.
