bug#57856: 28.2; bookmark context strings in encrypted files

[Gustavo Barros]

Hi All,

I guess this one is midway between a bug report and a feature request. 
I don't see that this is anyway against expected/documented behavior of 
involved libraries (bookmark.el, epg.el), but it is arguably a bad 
corner case of interaction between the two, which represents a (small) 
potential security issue.

Currently (Emacs 28.2), when setting a bookmark in a gpg encrypted file, 
part of the buffer is stored unencrypted as `front-context-string' and 
`rear-context-string' in the `bookmark-default-file' whenever 
`bookmark-search-size' is larger than 0, which by default is 16.

It could be argued that it is unwise to set a bookmark in this context. 
But, well, users do all kind of stuff.  Besides, Emacs provides no hint 
that this may be risky (as far as I can tell).  So it would be nice if 
Emacs would be a little more conservative here, and locally set 
`bookmark-search-size' to 0 in buffers visiting encrypted files.

I think it'd be overkill to provide a full reproduction recipe, since 
most of it would just be to set up environment (key etc.) for GPG.  But 
anyone who already has a setup and an encrypted file can reproduce the 
following simple steps (which I have tested in an .org.gpg file with 
`emacs -Q'):

Visit the encrypted file.  Set a bookmark with `bookmark-set' ("C-x r 
m") somewhere near a non-empty part of the buffer.  Save bookmarks with 
`bookmark-save'.  Inspect `bookmark-default-file' (by default 
"~/.emacs.d/bookmarks"), particularly `front-context-string' and 
`rear-context-string' of the pertinent bookmark, to find part of the 
original encrypted file stored there unencrypted.

Best regards,
Gustavo.

I think that makes sense.  Alternatively, we could prompt the user for
what to do in these files?

Anybody have any opinions?

Hi Lars,

Thanks again for the very prompt response.

If this were to be left to user discretion, I'd suggest a variable 
rather than a prompt.  What would we ask?  "This file is encrypted. Set 
bookmark, yes or no?"  "Why wouldn't I? Yes."  For the value of 
`bookmark-search-size'?  "What's that? Default. RET"  The general point 
is, how many users should we expect to know "at prompt time" that 
`bookmark.el' stores part of the buffer in the bookmark file and what it 
represents for an encrypted file?

But, to be honest, I'm not even sure if this being optional is 
particularly meaningful.  Do you see any use case where one would 
actually want to store unencrypted context of an encrypted file?

Best regards,
Gustavo.

I could imagine somebody just .gpg-ing most of their files on principle
without them really being "secret", and wanting the bookmark feature to
work properly (and for that you have to have the context).

But that's probably a very unusual setup, so perhaps just setting
bookmark-search-size to 0 in these buffers is the best (and least
annoying) way to go.  And if somebody wants to override this, they can
do it from some hook...

JFTR, there's not only gpg encryption. We have also tramp-crypt.el,
which let users encrypt all their files on a remote host. Those files
shall be handled similar, when it comes to implementation.

See (info "(tramp) Keeping files encrypted")

Best regards, Michael.

Right...  switching off bookmark context lines would go into
`epa-file-insert-file-contents' in the gpg case, I think -- where would
we do that in the Tramp case?

There is `tramp-handle-insert-file-contents'. Since this is used for
several Tramp backends, we need a check, whether Tramp encryption is
active. Something like

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(when (tramp-crypt-file-name-p filename)
   ...)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

OTOH, this would expose the "tramp-crypt-" namespace to tramp.el. Hmm,
maybe I will adapt the solution, but you could start with this.

Best regards, Michael.

Looking at how to integrate this (which is always iffy when we're
dealing with several packages), I think this has to be done the other
way.  That is, `bookmark-make-record' has to check whether the file is
encrypted or not, becaues `*insert-file-contents' might not have been
run at all (if this is a new encrypted file, for instance).

So `tramp-crypt-file-name-p' is perfect for that, but there doesn't seem
to be any `epa-file-name-p' (or something equivalent)?  Hm...  OK, that
was trivial to add, so I've now done it this way in Emacs 29.

Thanks.

Thinking further about, there are also other files which shouldn't
expose snippets to bookmarks. Think about .authinfo / .netrc (more
general, all files used as auth-sources backend). And perhaps other
files.

Wouldn't it be better, if packages like Tramp, epa, auth-sources, you
name it, could mark files to be excluded from bookmark-make-record? For
example, a hook a package could contribute to. In Tramp, we would run

(add-hook 'bookmark-inhibit-bookmark-hook #'tramp-crypt-file-name-p)

Similar for other packages.

Best regards, Michael.

Yes, that's true, but we don't really have a way to define
auth-source-file-p except by heuristics -- a netrc file may be called
anything.

So I'm not sure how that'd look...

auth-source-file-name-p could scan the auth-sources declarations for a
file based backend, and return t for such files. Shouldn't be too hard
to implement (oops, do I offer to volunteer?)

Let's start with bookmark-inhibit-bookmark-hook, adding
tramp-crypt-file-name-p and epa-file-name-p, and see, who else wants to
be added.

Best regards, Michael.

Yes, those were the heuristics I were alluding to.  😀  But I was
thinking about packages that say

(let ((auth-sources ...))
  (auth-source-search ...))

and we'd have no idea how to identify those files.

Yes. Packages which hide to-be-protected files in a let-form cannot
expect that we identify such files, except inside that let-form. This
isn't worse than today.

But we will protect users who do in their init file

(setq auth-sources '("~/.authinfo" "~/my-own-netrc-file-name"))

Maybe, additionally or instead of, all files with enabled reveal-mode in
the visiting buffer shall be protected as well. Another check function.

(defun reveal-mode-p (filename)
  (when-let ((buffer (get-file-buffer filename)))
    (buffer-local-value reveal-mode buffer)))

Best regards, Michael.

Yes, that's a good point.

Hm...  I'm not sure about that.  I can see people wanting to use that
mode in buffers that have no secrets -- just because they don't want to
display that stuff.  And the context strings do add real value in
bookmarks when finding the correct location.

I gave it a try. WDYT?

Thanks. I'll wait a day or two, whether somebody hollers. If not, I'll push.

Best regards, Michael.

If I may, I do have a comment about the defcustom.  I think 
`bookmark-inhibit-bookmark-functions` is not really a precise name, 
since it is not about inhibiting the bookmark itself, but only the 
context strings.  How about `bookmark-inhibit-context-functions`?  On 
the same vein, the docstring could be clearer about it.  Say:

"List of functions to call before making a bookmark record.
The functions take `buffer-file-name' as argument.  If any of
these functions returns non-nil, the bookmark does not record
context strings from the current buffer."

WDYT?

(Either way, thank you!)

Best regards,
Gustavo.

Thanks, will apply both. I'm notoriously bad in giving names and writing
documentation, so everything will help me!
