chi v1.5.5's middleware.Recoverer neither logged a handler panic nor
answered 500. Its pretty-printer scans the stack for a frame beginning
"panic(0x", which the runtime no longer emits, so the scan never
terminates early and every line reaches decorateFuncCallLine, which
slices pkg[strings.Index(pkg, "."):] without checking for -1. That
second panic escaped chi's own deferred function, so its
WriteHeader(500) never ran: net/http closed the connection and reported
its own crash, losing the original panic value entirely.
Middleware.Recoverer replaces it. It writes one ERROR record through
internal/logger carrying the panic value, the stack and the request id,
and answers 500. http.ErrAbortHandler is re-panicked rather than
swallowed, and a response the handler already committed is left alone
rather than overwritten.
It is registered inside every middleware that observes the response, so
the 500 is the status the access log records and the metrics count, and
outside the sentryhttp handler, whose Repanic option needs something
further out to catch what it re-raises.
Every growable field on the record is bounded in encoded bytes, through
the same internal/logfield budget the access log spends: 512 for the
panic value, since a handler may build one out of the request, 128 for
the request id, which a client supplies outright through X-Request-Id,
and 8192 for the stack, cut at its far end so the panic site survives.
MaxPanicLogLineBytes states the resulting ceiling at 10240 over an
arithmetic sum of 9121. Driving all three past their budgets at once
measured 9009 bytes on the JSON handler and 8982 to 8983 on the text
one in one checkout, and the real case through the shipped chain
measures roughly 3960. Those figures are illustrations rather than
invariants: the stack's own content decides where its cut lands, and
debug.Stack() embeds absolute source paths, so both move. No test
asserts a figure; the tests assert the ceiling and that each growable
field was cut.
Because the panic record no longer reaches net/http's error log, the
carve-outs in README.md and in the MaxAccessLogLineBytes doc comment
that described that path are removed rather than reworded. What
replaces them states the ceiling the record is now written under, and
internal/server/recoverer_test.go asserts that "http: panic serving"
appears in neither of the process's streams.
r.FormValue falls back to the query string, so
POST /source/{id}/targets?url=<secret> created a working target from a
value carried on the request line — where proxy logs, browser history
and Referer all record it. Every form read is now r.PostFormValue,
including the login password and both password-change fields, which had
the same defect in a more acute form.
The Sentry leg needed more than the query string. sentryhttp attaches
the whole request to the scope, and ApplyToEvent copies the teed body
into Request.Data with no SendDefaultPII guard — so reading every field
from the body only pointed every credential this change protects at the
one field the first revision did not scrub. Body and query are now
redacted, Cookies and Env cleared, and Headers reduced to an allowlist,
because the SDK's own filter removes four names and would otherwise ship
X-Csrf-Token and the shared secrets senders put on the receiver route.
Also adds json:"-" to Target.Config, APIKey.Key and Setting.Value —
TargetView is the masking barrier for the HTML path only, and the first
handler to marshal a model would serialise a bearer token or the session
encryption key.
Independently reviewed three times. The second review found the Data
leak and proved it with a scratch module; the third disproved the
PR's own claim that BeforeSend gets no request, so the README now
records that redacting unconditionally is a deliberate choice rather
than a limitation — which is what makes #179 cheap to fix.
check / check (push) Superseded by a newer commit; never tested
CSRF ran before MaxBodySize, so the CSRF middleware parsed the form body
before any cap applied and an oversized request was read in full before
being rejected. MaxBodySize is now the first middleware in all four route
groups that parse forms, ahead of CSRF and RequireAuth.
An oversize request therefore gets 413 without the handler running and
without state changing, including the password-change route.
Note the ordering trade: an unauthenticated client now receives 413 rather
than an auth redirect on /user/{username}/password.
