Bug fixes - API key is being printed in logs

[shree1988]

Discovered a bug where the API key is being printed in the logs during job execution. To resolve this, I have added slicing to ensure that only a few characters are printed for identification purposes.

Summary of Changes

Hello @shree1988, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses a critical security vulnerability where the full API key was being inadvertently printed in application logs. The changes introduce a new utility function to mask sensitive key information, ensuring that only a truncated version is logged. This significantly enhances the privacy and security of API keys during job execution without hindering necessary debugging.

Highlights

• Security Enhancement: Implemented a mask_key utility function to obscure sensitive API key information when logged, preventing full key exposure.
• Logging Privacy: Modified the API key logging statement to utilize the new mask_key function, ensuring only partial key details are visible for debugging purposes.

Changelog

• simple/util/dc_client.py
  • Added a new function mask_key to partially obscure string values.
  • Updated the logging.info call for the DC API Key to use the mask_key function.

Code Review

This pull request aims to resolve a critical security issue by preventing the full API key from being logged. However, the current implementation introduces a flawed masking logic and leaves a debug flag hardcoded to "True", which enables a path traversal vulnerability where the "entity_type" parameter is used to construct file paths without sanitization. Improvements are needed to refine the "mask_key" function's logic for better security and readability, disable debug mode by default, and sanitize inputs used in file system operations.
