feat: add secret fields to Pydantic schema (SecretStr) - #1156
Conversation
- Mark sensitive config fields (github_token, mongodb.url, vulners.api_key, ai.api_key, discord.webhook_url, discord.bot_token, api.key) as SecretStr - Add SECRET_PATHS introspection and _mask_secret_data() helper - Update Config.dump() with SecretStr YAML representer and mask_secrets param - Config.print() and Config.get() display always mask secrets - Config.set() wraps plain strings as SecretStr on env var override - Load ~/.secator/.env on startup for SECATOR_* env vars - Update all consumers to call .get_secret_value() on secret fields - Add TestSecretFields unit tests covering SecretStr behaviour, masking, env var overrides, and .env file loading Co-authored-by: Olivier Cervello <ocervell@users.noreply.github.com>

In `@secator/installer.py`:
- Around line 470-471: The current check uses the SecretStr object truthiness
(CONFIG.cli.github_token) which can be truthy even when empty; fix by first
extracting the raw token via CONFIG.cli.github_token.get_secret_value(), store
it in a local variable (e.g., token), then check if token is non-empty (truthy
string) before adding headers['Authorization'] = f'Bearer {token}'; update the
block around CONFIG.cli.github_token in installer.py accordingly to mirror the
approach used in secator/providers/vulners.py.
In `@tests/unit/test_config.py`:
- Around line 259-272: Remove the unused import SecretStr in the
test_secret_paths_contains_expected function: locate the import statement
importing SecretStr at the top of that test and delete it so the test only
imports SECRET_PATHS from secator.config; ensure the rest of the test (the
expected list and the loop asserting membership in SECRET_PATHS) is unchanged.
- Around line 312-324: Remove the unused local import of yaml in the
test_save_writes_real_value test: delete the line "import yaml" inside that
function (the module is already imported at top-level), leaving the rest of the
test (Config.parse, Config.save, Config.read_yaml, and the tmp cleanup)
unchanged; this touches only the test_save_writes_real_value function and does
not modify Config or read_yaml implementations.

model_dump() serializes SecretStr fields as plain strings rather than preserving SecretStr instances in the DotMap. Replacing model_dump() with a direct field-walk via _model_to_dict() ensures SecretStr values are retained, fixing the AttributeError: 'str' has no 'get_secret_value'.

@claude maybe we shouldn't use model_dump (or _model_to_dict()) at all and just inherit from the Pydantic config class instead, so we can directly call e.g: |

What changed
Why this is cleanerBefore:
|
Config now extends SecatorConfig (Pydantic model) instead of DotMap, eliminating the _model_to_dict() workaround and preserving SecretStr fields natively throughout the object graph. Key changes: - StrictModel gains items()/values()/keys() for compat (CONFIG.dirs.items() etc.) - Config uses PrivateAttr for _path/_partial/_keymap instead of DotMap slots - _partial is a plain dict; set()/_set_dict_key() use getattr/setattr - dump() uses _to_plain_dict() helper instead of toDict() - build_key_map() traverses model_fields instead of items() - load() simplified to Config(**data) — Pydantic validates and preserves SecretStr natively, no _model_to_dict hack needed - installer.py: extract github_token value before truthiness check - tests: update _partial dict access, remove unused imports Co-authored-by: Olivier Cervello <ocervell@users.noreply.github.com>

…antic v2 validate_default=False Pydantic v2 has validate_default=False by default, meaning plain string defaults like '' for SecretStr fields are stored as-is without coercion. This caused CONFIG.addons.ai.api_key (and all other SecretStr fields) to be plain str objects when the config was loaded from an empty file.

Config.set() correctly wraps plain strings into SecretStr when the existing field value is a SecretStr. Config.save() correctly writes raw values to disk (without masking). Config.get() and Config.print() correctly mask with mask_secrets=True.
🔴 Root cause of the recurring CI failure
The AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get_secret_value' is being triggered at module-level import time. All five of the values below are evaluated once when the module is first imported:
# tasks/ai.py:32
DEFAULT_API_KEY = CONFIG.addons.ai.api_key.get_secret_value()
# hooks/api.py:28, discord.py:26-27, mongodb.py:16
API_KEY = CONFIG.addons.api.key.get_secret_value()
WEBHOOK_URL = CONFIG.addons.discord.webhook_url.get_secret_value()
BOT_TOKEN = CONFIG.addons.discord.bot_token.get_secret_value()
MONGODB_URL = CONFIG.addons.mongodb.url.get_secret_value()The most likely cause: StrictModel (and Config) do not set validate_assignment=True. This means setattr(pydantic_model, field, value) bypasses Pydantic's type coercion. If any code path reaches setattr(target, final_key, value) in Config.set() with a plain str before the isinstance(existing_value, SecretStr) guard fires (e.g., if existing_value was already a str due to a prior bad write), the field is stored as a plain str permanently.
Fix recommendation: Add validate_assignment=True to StrictModel so Pydantic always enforces SecretStr coercion on assignment:
class StrictModel(BaseModel, extra='forbid'):
model_config = ConfigDict(validate_assignment=True)
...This would make it impossible for a SecretStr field to hold a plain str value — Pydantic would automatically coerce it on every setattr.
🟡 Module-level snapshot / stale values
Because WEBHOOK_URL, BOT_TOKEN, MONGODB_URL, API_KEY, and DEFAULT_API_KEY are computed once at import time, any runtime change to CONFIG (e.g., via CONFIG.set(...) in setup_ai()) won't propagate to those constants. The hooks/discord.py, hooks/mongodb.py, and hooks/api.py hooks are particularly affected: if a user sets/updates a secret key during the session, the hook will still use the value that was present at startup.
This was true before this PR as well, but is now more visible because the fields have security significance.
🟡 _get_secret_paths() fragility
def _get_secret_paths(model_class, prefix=''):
...
if annotation is SecretStr: # <-- identity check, not isinstance/issubclass
paths.append(field_path)This works correctly for the current models (all fields are typed as plain SecretStr), but will silently miss secrets if any future field is typed as Optional[SecretStr], Union[str, SecretStr], or Annotated[SecretStr, ...]. Consider using:
import typing
def _is_secret_type(annotation) -> bool:
origin = typing.get_origin(annotation)
if annotation is SecretStr:
return True
if origin is typing.Union:
return SecretStr in typing.get_args(annotation)
return False🟡 tasks/__init__.py dynamic imports amplify the blast radius
# secator/tasks/__init__.py
TASKS = discover_tasks()
for cls in TASKS:
exec(f'from .{cls.__name__} import {cls.__name__}')Every task module (including ai.py) is imported at startup via discover_tasks(). This means DEFAULT_API_KEY = CONFIG.addons.ai.api_key.get_secret_value() runs early in the startup chain. If CONFIG is in any inconsistent state at that moment, the whole CLI fails to start. A safer pattern would be to lazily resolve the default in the option definition:
# Instead of:
DEFAULT_API_KEY = CONFIG.addons.ai.api_key.get_secret_value()
opts = {"api_key": {"default": DEFAULT_API_KEY, ...}}
# Prefer:
opts = {"api_key": {"default": None, ...}}
# and resolve lazily in __init__ or run():
api_key = api_key or CONFIG.addons.ai.api_key.get_secret_value()ℹ️ Minor: cli.py help strings are safe
Lines 2222 and 2251 in cli.py reference mongodb.url and vulners.api_key only in static user-facing help text strings — no actual field access, no leak risk.

…ct navigation - Add back _parse_new_value and _validate_profile_names static methods that were dropped in the DotMap→Pydantic refactor but still called in set() and _set_dict_key() — their absence caused every dict-subkey set to silently fail via a caught AttributeError, and the workspace.profiles tests to fail because unittest.mock.patch() cannot patch a nonexistent attribute - Fix set() dict navigation to walk path stopping at the first dict boundary instead of the full parent path; this enables multi-level dict paths like tasks.overrides.nuclei.input_chunk_size where intermediate keys don't exist yet - Add workspace.profiles validation call in _set_dict_key (mirrors main branch) - Fix utils.process_wordlist to use dict.get() instead of getattr() since wordlists.defaults/templates are now plain dicts, not DotMap objects — fixes AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'http' in task/template tests - Remove unused MutableMapping import (lint fix) Co-authored-by: Olivier Cervello <ocervell@users.noreply.github.com>
