BLOCKING os.chmod(str(path), 0o600) re-resolves ~/.moss/config.json after it has been opened. If the path is swapped between os.open() and chmod() (or involves a symlink), this can chmod a different file while the descriptor being written remains with looser permissions. Apply the mode to the fd instead, closing it if that step fails:
fd = os.open(str(path), os.O_WRONLY | os.O_CREAT | os.O_TRUNC, 0o600)
try:
os.fchmod(fd, 0o600)
except Exception:
os.close(fd)

Codex reviewThe PR fixes the common existing-file mode case, but the implementation should apply permissions to the opened descriptor rather than re-resolving the path. |

Enforce Windows file access or scope the guarantee to POSIX.
On Windows, os.chmod() only changes the read-only flag; it does not restrict ACL access. An existing permissive ACL therefore remains permissive. The test in packages/moss-cli/tests/test_profiles.py skips Windows, but packages/moss-cli/CHANGELOG.md says the file is “always” written with 0600 permissions. Apply a restrictive Windows ACL, or limit the behavior and changelog claim to platforms where this mode is enforced. (docs.python.org)

Thank you for your quick fix and credit. +1 to bots' idea of using the descriptor rather than re-resolving the path. There is one thing to keep in mind in case you use os.fchmod(fd, 0o600). According to the 3.10 and 3.12 documentation pages, os.fchmod() function is available only on Unix-based platforms, which means that an unguarded call will raise AttributeError on Windows. In order to avoid this issue, you can use hasattr(os, 'fchmod') check and fall back to os.chmod(path, 0o600). I have a patched version of the code with the test. Would be glad to share it if needed. |
Description
save_config()creates~/.moss/config.jsonwithos.open(..., 0o600), butopen(2)only applies that mode when it creates the file. Ifconfig.jsonalready exists with looser permissions (for example 0644 after a backup restore, dotfile sync, or manualchmod), every latermoss init/ profile write keeps those permissions and writes the plaintextproject_keyinto a group/world-readable file.This adds an explicit
os.chmod(path, 0o600)right after opening the file. The file has already been truncated at that point, so it is tightened before any credentials are written. This covers every caller ofsave_config()(set_profile_credentials(),delete_profile()).Reported by Nikhil Sai (@NSK-394).
Type of Change
Testing
test_save_config_restricts_existing_file_permissions: starts from an existing 0644config.json, writes credentials, asserts the file ends up 0600. Fails onmain, passes with this change. Skipped on Windows.pytest packages/moss-cli/tests: all profile tests pass.
