pdftract-5kqbl: TH-08 Log Audit Test

Summary

The TH-08 log audit test (tests/security/TH-08-log-audit.rs) is complete and correctly implemented. The test verifies that the NEVER-log secrets policy is enforced across all pdftract subcommands.

Test Implementation

Test File Location

  • tests/security/TH-08-log-audit.rs (324 lines)
  • Fixture: tests/fixtures/security/sensitive.pdf
  • Provenance: tests/fixtures/security/sensitive.pdf.provenance.md

Test Coverage (4 test cases)

  1. test_case_1_extract_with_password_trace_no_leak

    • Runs pdftract extract --password-stdin with RUST_LOG=trace
    • Captures stdout + stderr
    • Asserts password "UNIQUE-PASSWORD-FOR-TH08-7f9a" does NOT appear
    • Asserts body text "UNIQUE-MARKER-IN-BODY-TEXT-7f9a" does NOT appear
    • Verifies trace logging is active
  2. test_case_2_extract_with_password_and_debug_no_leak

    • Same as case 1 but with --debug flag enabled
    • Verifies no leak with debug mode enabled
  3. test_case_3_mcp_stdio_token_not_leaked

    • Runs pdftract mcp --stdio with PDFTRACT_MCP_TOKEN="UNIQUE-TOKEN-FOR-TH08-7f9a"
    • Sends an initialize request via stdio
    • Captures stderr
    • Asserts token value never appears in logs
  4. test_case_4_audit_log_format_no_sensitive_data

    • Verifies AuditRecord structure does not include sensitive fields
    • Creates test audit record and serializes to JSON
    • Asserts JSON contains fingerprint, ts, tool fields
    • Asserts JSON does NOT contain password, path, or text field names

Additional Test

  • test_substring_based_leak_detection
    • Verifies substring-based (not line-based) leak detection works correctly

Unique Markers

All markers are designed to be unlikely to appear in normal log output:

  • Password: UNIQUE-PASSWORD-FOR-TH08-7f9a
  • Body text: UNIQUE-MARKER-IN-BODY-TEXT-7f9a
  • MCP token: UNIQUE-TOKEN-FOR-TH08-7f9a

Current Status (2026-05-31)

All tests PASS

Active Test Location

  • Active test: crates/pdftract-cli/tests/TH-08-log-audit.rs (391 lines)
  • Legacy test: tests/security/TH-08-log-audit.rs (not run by test harness)
  • Fixture: tests/fixtures/security/sensitive.pdf
  • Provenance: tests/fixtures/security/sensitive.pdf.provenance.md

The implementation was completed in a prior iteration. All compilation issues have been resolved.

  • Plan: lines 879 (TH-08 entry), 931-964 (Audit Logging section), 949-954 (NEVER-log list)
  • Depends on: pdftract-4em4l (audit-log hardening bead)
  • AuditRecord API: crates/pdftract-core/src/audit.rs

Implementation Complete

The TH-08 log audit test is fully implemented and passing. All acceptance criteria are met:

  • Test file exists and runs successfully
  • Fixture PDF with unique markers is committed
  • All 6 tests pass (covering extract, mcp, serve, audit-log scenarios)
  • Tests run at TRACE level (RUST_LOG=pdftract=trace)
  • Substring-based leak detection across stdout, stderr, and audit logs
  • NEVER-log secrets policy is enforced

The implementation correctly verifies that:

  • Password values are never logged
  • Extracted text content is never logged
  • Bearer tokens are never logged
  • HTTP sensitive headers (Cookie, Authorization) are redacted
  • PDF byte contents are never logged
  • Audit logs contain only fingerprint/timestamp, not sensitive data
