The unified pre-ingestion BFB embeds the BMC root password in cleartext via its bf.cfg blob, but was created with File::create (0o666 & ~umask, typically 0644), leaving the secret world-readable to any local user/process.

Create the artifact with OpenOptions::mode(0o600) so permissions are set atomically at creation and independent of umask. Extract the assembly logic into a testable helper and add a unit test asserting the artifact is owner-only.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved unified pre-ingestion artifact creation to reliably enforce owner-only (0600) permissions.
    • Ensured the unified artifact correctly combines the base BFB payload with the generated bf.cfg credential configuration.
    • Updated status/error messaging to reference the actual destination path used for output.
  • Tests

    • Added async regression coverage to verify consistent unified-BFB output under different umask settings, including permission mode and content checks.

Walkthrough

The BFB copier now builds unified pre-ingestion artifacts through a path-parameterized writer, enforces 0o600 permissions, streams the base BFB, appends credential configuration, and tests permissions and content.

Changes

Unified BFB assembly

Layer / File(s) Summary
Parameterized secure BFB writer
crates/preingestion-manager/src/bfb_rshim_copier.rs
write_unified_preingestion_bfb accepts source and destination paths, creates the destination with exact 0o600 permissions, appends the base BFB and bf.cfg, and reports destination-specific errors.
Secure artifact validation
crates/preingestion-manager/Cargo.toml, crates/preingestion-manager/src/bfb_rshim_copier.rs
Adds the libc test dependency; serialized umask-aware tests verify owner-only permissions, base payload ordering, and embedded BMC_USER and BMC_PASSWORD entries.

- Around line 185-203: Remove the destination-existence guard around the unified
BFB assembly so every invocation regenerates credentials for the current
machine. Update the write flow near the unified artifact creation and the
corresponding logic around the later referenced section to write complete
content to a fresh temporary file with mode 0o600, then atomically rename it
over the destination. Extend the relevant test to pre-populate stale credentials
and permissions, invoke the copier, and verify the destination is fully replaced
with current content and secure permissions.
- Around line 174-178: Update the artifact creation flow described near the
bf.cfg security comment to call set_permissions(0o600) on the opened file before
writing the payload, rather than relying on open’s .mode(0o600) alone. Add a
regression case using a restrictive umask and verify the resulting artifact
remains owner-readable and writable.

Always replace the destination; the existence check reuses stale credentials.

After the first call, Line 185 skips assembly entirely. Because callers provide machine-specific BMC credentials, subsequent machines receive the first artifact’s password; partial or insecure existing files are also accepted.

Atomically replace the artifact using a fresh 0o600 temporary file and rename it into place. Extend the test by pre-populating the destination with stale credentials and permissions, then verify complete replacement.

Also applies to: 290-330
