🚨 Severity: MEDIUM
💡 Vulnerability: The DSN redaction functionality in backend/app/dsn_redaction.py failed to fully URL-decode passwords containing + and didn't generate all quoted candidates. Additionally, it could fail to redact short secrets if they started or ended with a non-alphanumeric character (e.g. =pass=) because the regex boundary check (?<![A-Za-z0-9]) always applied, forcing a non-alphanumeric character to precede the secret, which fails if the preceding char in the error string is alphanumeric.
🎯 Impact: Driver error messages could potentially leak passwords or parts of passwords if they contain URL-encoded symbols or begin/end with non-alphanumeric characters.
🔧 Fix: Added unquote_plus and generated all quoted candidates for the decoded password. Updated _redact_secret_occurrences to only apply alphanumeric boundary restrictions if the edge of the secret itself is alphanumeric. Added tests for boundary edge cases.
✅ Verification: Ensure the test suite passes via cd backend && uv run pytest.

DSN 비밀번호 redaction이 unquote_plus 디코딩과 양방향 인코딩 후보를 사용하도록 수정됐다. 비영숫자 문자로 시작하거나 끝나는 secret의 경계 처리도 수정됐다. 관련 회귀 테스트와 보안 학습 기록을 추가했다.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2bb67

The PR changes DSN password decoding and redaction boundaries, but the current implementation can replace ordinary error text for punctuation-only secrets and can treat '+' as a space, causing incorrect redaction. These bounded correctness issues mean the PR is not merge-ready until they are fixed and covered by regression tests.

📝 Info: unquote import left unused

After switching all call sites to unquote_plus, unquote at backend/app/dsn_redaction.py:4 is no longer referenced. No ruff/flake8 gate exists and mypy ignores unused imports, so CI stays green, but the import is now dead.

📝 Info: Short symbol-bounded secrets match more broadly

Dropping the alphanumeric boundary when a secret's edge is non-alnum (backend/app/dsn_redaction.py:95-97) makes short symbol-only candidates like !! or = match everywhere, over-redacting and garbling unrelated parts of error messages. This favors redaction over leaking, so it is safe direction, but it is a behavioral change from the old always-bounded match.

DSN userinfo 비밀번호에는 unquote를 사용하세요.

userinfo의 +는 공백을 의미하지 않습니다. 현재 unquote_plus는 비밀번호 a+b에서 a b를 후보로 추가하므로, 오류 메시지의 일반 문구 a b***로 잘못 치환할 수 있습니다. userinfo 비밀번호에는 unquote를 사용하고, query 값에는 unquote_plus를 유지하세요. 두 문자열을 함께 처리하는 회귀 테스트도 추가하세요.

비영숫자 전용 짧은 secret에는 무제한 매칭을 적용하지 마세요.

secret="="이면 경계가 없는 = 정규식이 생성됩니다. 그 결과 a=b와 같은 일반 오류 텍스트가 a***b로 변경됩니다. 공백이나 다른 한 문자 구분자도 같은 문제가 발생합니다.

secret에 영숫자가 전혀 없으면 기존 경계를 유지하세요. 또는 DSN 문맥을 확인한 뒤 해당 후보만 치환하세요. =, 공백, 하이픈 비밀번호에 대한 회귀 테스트도 추가하세요.

변경된 경계 조건을 직접 재현하도록 테스트를 수정하세요.

현재 모든 =ab= occurrence는 양옆이 비영숫자입니다. 변경 전의 양쪽 경계 검사도 이 입력을 redaction할 수 있으므로, 현재 테스트는 Line [95-97]의 변경을 검증하지 않습니다.

오류 문자열에 x=ab==ab=x를 추가하세요. password= 및 중복 DSN 문자열은 제거하여 assignment fallback이 결과를 대신 보장하지 않도록 하세요. 두 문자열이 정확히 redaction되는지 검증하세요.

As per coding guidelines: 동작을 변경한 Python 코드에는 집중 테스트를 추가하거나 갱신해야 합니다.

Closing as superseded by the broader, test-backed canonical fix in #745.

Exact comparison against the shared main@8dc746920c12988f082e914879d95e13c9693535 base found that this branch reintroduces an unsafe decoding-domain conflation: it applies unquote_plus() to URL userinfo/passwords, so a literal + password can be treated as a space and unrelated a b text can be redacted. #745 deliberately uses unquote() for userinfo and unquote_plus() only for query-form values, and carries explicit regressions proving literal-plus preservation, percent-encoded space handling, Unicode boundaries, over-redaction prevention, malformed DSNs, and case-insensitive matching.

#995 is therefore not stacked or merge-ready; its narrower useful intent is already covered by #745 without the regression. No commits from this branch should be merged independently.
