fix: Mask provider URLs in RPC retry logs

[zachsplat]

Summary

Closes #913.

RPC URLs often carry an API key in the path or query (Alchemy, Infura, QuickNode). API responses already mask them with mask_url, but the retry and failover path in src/services/provider/retry.rs logged the raw URL in nine tracing calls, five of them at warn, so the key reached the logs whenever an RPC call failed or a provider was marked failed.

This passes provider_url through crate::utils::mask_url in those nine calls. It does the same for the three debug lines in rpc_health_store.rs that log a provider being paused, re-paused or released, and for the HTTP to HTTPS redirect debug line in url_security.rs, which logged the original and target URL. Only log output changes.

Testing Process

• New test services::provider::retry::tests::test_retry_logs_mask_provider_urls captures tracing output, the same way the plugin log-forwarding tests do, while it drives retries, failover, a provider init failure and a non-retriable error against URLs that carry a key in the path or in the query. It checks that each of those log lines was emitted, that no key appears in the output and that the masked forms do. With the masking reverted the test fails and prints the leaked URLs.
• RUST_TEST_THREADS=1 cargo test --lib services::provider: 246 passed. RUST_TEST_THREADS=1 cargo test --lib utils::: 627 passed, 29 ignored.
• cargo fmt --all -- --check and cargo clippy --all-features --workspace --lib --bins --no-deps -- -D warnings --allow deprecated are clean on 1.93.0.

Not changed here: Stellar's normalize_url_for_log and url_security::sanitize_url keep the URL path on purpose (their tests assert it), and a reqwest connection error can carry the request URL in its message. Happy to follow up on those if you want them masked as well.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Credential-bearing provider URLs are now masked in diagnostic logs for retries, failover, initialization, health checks, and HTTP-to-HTTPS redirects. This keeps secrets out of logged messages while preserving retry behavior, provider selection, health checks, and redirect decisions.

Walkthrough

Provider retry, health-store, and allowed redirect logs now mask URLs. Retry behavior, provider URL use, and redirect decisions remain unchanged. A tracing test checks that credential values are absent from retry-related logs.

Changes

URL Log Masking

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Mask provider retry logs src/services/provider/retry.rs	Provider selection, retry, failover, initialization, success, and failure logs use masked URLs. A tracing test checks credential-bearing URLs across retry and error cases.
Mask health and redirect logs src/services/provider/rpc_health_store.rs, src/utils/url_security.rs	Provider pause and expiration logs, and allowed HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect logs, use masked URLs.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 37dcb

This change masks API keys in provider URL paths and query strings in retry, health-store, and redirect logs, and it does not change provider behavior. A URL that embeds a username and password, such as https://user:pass@host/..., would still show those credentials in debug logs. That was already true before this change. Consider redacting userinfo in the shared masking helper, either in this PR or as a follow-up.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 37dcb

The change reduces API-key exposure without changing provider selection, health tracking, or redirect permissions. An existing gap still allows URL-embedded usernames and passwords to appear in logs. That exposure predates this PR, but prevents treating the remaining security risk as minimal. Production log access and credential permissions are unknown.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — Where configured RPC URLs contain credentials in userinfo and the affected events are enabled, readers of those logs can obtain credentials for the represented endpoints. Downstream authority depends on those credentials. Production reader access, retention, forwarding, credential permissions, and tenant or environment exposure are unknown; the PR does not expand the observed source or sink reachability.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• observed — The retained userinfo-exposure finding remains supported: an accepted credential-bearing provider URL passes through the selector into health failure logging, where mask_url retains its username/password authority before emission. The base emitted the entire URL at the same logging location. This condition therefore predates the PR and is not an introduced or worsened architecture concern.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The allowed-redirect log remains behind redirect-count, same-host, matching effective-port, and HTTP-to-HTTPS checks. The follow/stop decision is independent of masking. Accepted userinfo is not rejected by this decision and remains in the masked log prefix, but the base already logged both URLs raw.
• observed — The retry changes sanitize provider_url fields, not accompanying error fields. Those errors continue to be formatted directly. Whether concrete client errors expose request credentials remains unresolved; the synthetic test errors do not answer that question.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Health-state updates retain the same shared lock, raw-URL key, bounded failure history, pause extension, and expiration/cleanup recheck paths. Reset and poisoned-lock recovery behavior are unchanged. The new log representation does not introduce a state transition, ownership transfer, or different recovery outcome.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Extend the shared masking contract to redact URL userinfo, with regression coverage at retry, health, and redirect sinks. Separately trace URL-bearing client errors and apply suitable redaction before log emission. Keep transport URLs and health-state keys unchanged.

Redact URL userinfo before logging provider URLs.

If mark_failed receives https://user:SECRET@example.com/rpc and the failure threshold is reached, mask_url produces https://user:SECRET@example.com/***. The pause debug log therefore exposes the password to log readers. The same helper is used by the retry and redirect logs. Redact userinfo in src/utils/url.rs::mask_url, and add a credential-bearing userinfo case to the log test. Based on learnings, Rust debug logs must not contain credentials.

Thanks for your contribution.

PR LGTM.

[zeljkoX]

Thanks, this looks good. The masking only touches log fields: tried_urls, the provider initializer and the RpcHealthStore keys still use the raw URL, so retry and failover behaviour is unchanged. The test is a nice touch, especially asserting that every expected line was emitted so a silently filtered log can't pass.

Follow-up worth doing (not blocking): categorize_reqwest_error in src/services/provider/mod.rs builds the error with err.to_string(), and reqwest includes the request URL in that message (error sending request for url (...)). That text ends up in the error = %e field on the same warn lines, so connection failures can still leak the key. Using err.without_url() before stringifying should close it. Masking userinfo (user:pass@) in mask_url would also be good, as CodeRabbit noted.

Thanks for the review. The follow-up is #918: the error text from categorize_reqwest_error now carries the masked URL, so the error = %e fields stop leaking keys on connection failures and HTTP errors, and mask_url hides userinfo.
