📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughGateway verification now fingerprints credential Secrets, watches referenced Secrets, and re-runs verification after deletion or rotation. Gateway status records the verified fingerprint, and verification Job names include the credential version. ChangesGateway credential verification
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to A credential change can incorrectly reuse an older completed verification Job when the credentials share the same short fingerprint prefix, causing the Gateway to report verification for the wrong credential. This bounded security and correctness risk should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

- Around line 213-215: Restrict stale Job cleanup in the List call using
labelGateway to verification Jobs by adding labelManagedBy and labelComponent
set to gateway-verification. Apply this same selector to every verification Job
lookup in the controller, preserving the existing namespace and gateway-label
filters.
- Line 557: Update credentialHash to retain the full digest in
VerifiedCredentialHash instead of truncating it to four bytes, while deriving a
separate bounded identifier only for the verification Job name. Ensure
reconciliation compares the full credential identity, and add a regression test
proving colliding digest prefixes do not reuse the previous Ready result.
- Line 426: Bound labelGateway to a deterministic value no longer than 63
characters before invoking createVerificationJob, while preserving uniqueness
for long Gateway names. Reuse the same derived value for verification Job
creation, stale-Job lookup, and test lookup, and add an envtest case covering a
valid Gateway with a 64-character metadata.name.

The controller had RBAC to watch Secrets but only watched Gateways and owned Jobs, so a deleted or rotated credential left the Gateway reading Ready until something else triggered a reconcile. Adds a `.spec.credentialRef.secretName` index and a Secret watch, same pattern the Agent controller uses for its refs. That alone only covers deletion: a rotation doesn't bump the generation, so Reconcile short-circuited on the settled Ready condition. The credential is now also hashed into `status.verifiedCredentialHash` and into the verification Job name, so a rotation re-verifies under a fresh Job instead of reading the old one's result back. The status field carries the full SHA-256 and is what the skip decision compares; only the Job name takes a short form, since it is the Job name that has 63 characters to spend. Two length bugs on the verification Job are fixed while we're here, both from a Gateway name being a DNS subdomain (up to 253) while a Job name and a label value both cap at 63. The name was unbounded, and the Job controller copies it into batch.kubernetes.io/job-name on every pod. The konveyor.io/gateway label value was the raw Gateway name, which the API server rejects outright on create, so a Gateway with a 64-character name never verified at all. Both now go through the same sanitizeVolumeName the enumeration Job uses. The stale-Job cleanup selector is also scoped to this controller's own verification Jobs rather than the Gateway label alone, since the loop it feeds deletes what it finds.

Weak Cryptography (CWE-328): Use of Weak Hash
Reachability: External · Exploitability: Difficult
Use a collision-resistant credential component in the verification Job name.
A credential rotation can reuse a completed Job when both credential hashes share the same eight-character prefix. The reconciler can then apply the old Job result to the new credential. Include at least 128 bits of the full credential digest in the Job name and add a regression test for matching prefixes.

The Gateway controller has RBAC to watch Secrets but only watched Gateway CRs and
owned Jobs, so a credential that was deleted or rotated left the Gateway reading
Ready and verified until something else happened to it.
Adds a
.spec.credentialRef.secretNameindex and a Secret watch mapping back toreferencing Gateways, same pattern the Agent controller uses for its refs.
The watch alone only covers deletion though. A rotation doesn't bump
metadata.generation, so the enqueued reconcile hits the short-circuit inReconcileand returns without re-verifying. So the credential also gets hashedinto a new
status.verifiedCredentialHashthat the short-circuit checks alongsidethe generation. The hash covers only what the
credentialRefselects - the onekey's value when keyed, the whole Secret when keyless - so an unrelated key in a
shared Secret doesn't churn verification.
The hash goes into the verification Job name too. I think without it a
same-generation re-verify can pick up the previous run's completed Job while it's
still terminating and read that result back as the answer for the new credential -
the delete after completion is background, and a failed delete is only logged. I
didn't reproduce that one, it's from reading the code.
The status field keeps the full SHA-256 and is what the skip decision compares.
Only the Job name takes a short form, since the Job name is the thing with 63
characters to spend.
Also two length bugs on the verification Job, both because a Gateway name is a DNS
subdomain (up to 253) while a Job name and a label value both cap at 63:
batch.kubernetes.io/job-nameon every podkonveyor.io/gatewaylabel value was the raw Gateway name, which the APIserver rejects on create - so a Gateway with a 64-character name never verified
at all
The second one I only caught from CodeRabbit's review, and it's a real one -
thanks @djzager for the nudge. Both now go through the same
sanitizeVolumeNamethe enumeration Job uses. The stale-Job cleanup selector is scoped to this
controller's own verification Jobs too, rather than the Gateway label alone, since
the loop it feeds deletes what it finds.
Fixes #103
Test plan
make testandmake lintboth clean.New envtest specs cover a Secret deleted after verification and a credential
rotated in place. Checked they actually fail without the fix - dropping just the
hash comparison from the short-circuit fails the rotation spec and passes the
deletion one:
Dropping the watch instead fails both.
A new envtest spec covers a Gateway with a 64-character name. It times out
waiting for a Job that never gets created if you revert just the label bound,
which is the failure mode a user would have hit.
Unit tests cover the hash (rotation, unrelated keys, keyless multi-variable, map
ordering, and the
{"ab":"c"}vs{"a":"bc"}collision the length-prefixingavoids), the full digest surviving into status, and the 63-char bounds on both the
Job name and the label value.
