fix: make AWS SDK debug logging configurable (issue #2270)
This PR fixes issue #2270 where AWS SDK debug logs expose sensitive credentials in helmfile output, by adding flexible, configurable AWS SDK logging with secure defaults. Problem: -------- Despite PR #2288's fix, AWS SDK debug logs still appeared in helmfile output, exposing sensitive information: - AWS tokens and authorization headers - Request/response bodies containing credentials - Secret metadata from vals providers Root Cause: ----------- 1. PR #2288 only suppressed vals' own logging via LogOutput: io.Discard 2. AWS SDK v2 uses separate logging (AWS_SDK_GO_LOG_LEVEL, WithClientLogMode) 3. Vals library defaulted to verbose logging (aws.LogRetries | aws.LogRequest) 4. No programmatic way to control AWS SDK logging Solution: --------- Two-part fix in conjunction with vals PR #893: 1. Vals library enhancement (helmfile/vals#893): - Added Options.AWSLogLevel field for programmatic control - Changed default from verbose to secure (no logging) - Added preset levels: off, minimal, standard, verbose - Maintains AWS_SDK_GO_LOG_LEVEL precedence 2. Helmfile changes (this PR): - Added HELMFILE_AWS_SDK_LOG_LEVEL environment variable - Enhanced vals configuration to use new AWSLogLevel field - Added conditional AWS SDK log suppression in remote.go (3 locations) - Comprehensive unit tests (15 test cases) Configuration: -------------- Preset levels via HELMFILE_AWS_SDK_LOG_LEVEL: - "off" (default) - No logging, secure, prevents credential leakage - "minimal" - Log retries only - "standard" - Log retries + requests (previous default behavior) - "verbose" - Log everything (requests, responses, bodies, signing) - Custom - Comma-separated values (e.g., "request,response") Priority order: 1. AWS_SDK_GO_LOG_LEVEL env var (highest) 2. HELMFILE_AWS_SDK_LOG_LEVEL env var 3. Secure default ("off") Testing: -------- Added comprehensive unit tests: - pkg/plugins/vals_test.go: 9 test cases * TestAWSSDKLogLevelConfiguration - all preset levels * TestEnvironmentVariableReading - env var parsing - pkg/remote/remote_test.go: 6 test cases * TestAWSSDKLogLevelInit - init() logic All tests passing: - pkg/plugins: PASS (3/3 test suites) - pkg/remote: PASS (all test suites) - golangci-lint: 0 issues Files changed: 7 files, 271 insertions(+), 31 deletions(-) Security: --------- Before: Credentials exposed by default (aws.LogRetries | aws.LogRequest) After: Credentials protected by default (no logging unless explicitly enabled) Follows security principles: - Secure by default - Principle of least privilege - Explicit opt-in for sensitive logging - Defense in depth Dependency: ----------- Depends on: helmfile/vals#893 Currently using: aditmeno/vals@a97336ce2b (via go.mod replace) After vals PR merges: Update to official release Fixes: #2270 Related: #2288, #2289, helmfile/vals#893 Signed-off-by: Aditya Menon <amenon@canarytechnologies.com>
