to ,
Features
#1083 #1115 support masking secrets
You can mask secrets in outputs of terraform.
This feature prevents the leak of secrets.
The following outputs are masked.
- Standard output of terraform command
- Standard error output of terraform command
- Pull request comment of
tfcmt plan
andtfcmt apply
- local files created by
--output
option
Caution
Even if you maske secrets using this feature, secrets are still stored in Terraform States.
Please see also Sensitive Data in State.
You can use environment variables TFCMT_MASKS
and TFCMT_MASKS_SEPARATOR
.
TFCMT_MASKS
: A list of masks. Masks are joined byTFCMT_MASKS_SEPARATOR
TFCMT_MASKS_SEPARATOR
: A separator of masks. The default value is,
The format of each mask is ${type}:${value}
.
${type}
must be either env
or regexp
.
If ${type}
is env
, ${value}
is a masked environment variable name.
If ${type}
is regexp
, ${value}
is a masked regular expression.
e.g. Mask GitHub access tokens and the environment variable DATADOG_API_KEY
.
export TFCMT_MASKS="env:GITHUB_TOKEN,env:DATADOG_API_KEY,regexp:ghp_[^ ]+"
tfcmt plan -- terraform plan
e.g. Change the separator to /
.
export TFCMT_MASKS_SEPARATOR=/
export TFCMT_MASKS="env:GITHUB_TOKEN/env:DATADOG_API_KEY/regexp:ghp_[^ ]+"
All matching strings are replaced with ***
.
Replacements are done in order of TFCMT_MASKS
, so the result depends on the order of TFCMT_MASKS
.
For example, if TFCMT_MASKS
is regexp:foo,regexp:foo.*
, regexp:foo.*
has no meaning because all foo
are replaced with ***
before replacing foo.*
with ***
so foo.*
doesn't match with anything.
Example
This example creates a resource google_cloudbuild_trigger.
This resource has a GitHub Access token as a field substitutions._GH_TOKEN
.
main.tf
resource "google_cloudbuild_trigger" "filename_trigger" {
location = "us-central1"
trigger_template {
branch_name = "main"
repo_name = "my-repo"
}
substitutions = {
_GH_TOKEN = var.gh_token # Secret
}
filename = "cloudbuild.yaml"
}
variable "gh_token" {
type = string
description = "GitHub Access token"
}
terraform {
required_providers {
google = {
source = "hashicorp/google"
version = "5.13.0"
}
}
}
If you run terraform plan
without masking, the secret would be leaked.
To prevent the leak, let's mask the secret.
export TFCMT_MASKS=env:TF_VAR_gh_token # Mask the environment variable TF_VAR_gh_token
Please see _GH_TOKEN
in the output of tfcmt plan
and the pull request comment.
You can confirm _GH_TOKEN
is masked as ***
properly.
$ tfcmt plan -- terraform plan
tfcmt plan -- terraform plan
Terraform used the selected providers to generate the following execution
plan. Resource actions are indicated with the following symbols:
+ create
Terraform will perform the following actions:
# google_cloudbuild_trigger.filename_trigger will be created
+ resource "google_cloudbuild_trigger" "filename_trigger" {
+ create_time = (known after apply)
+ filename = "cloudbuild.yaml"
+ id = (known after apply)
+ location = "us-central1"
+ name = (known after apply)
+ project = "hello"
+ substitutions = {
+ "_GH_TOKEN" = "***"
}
+ trigger_id = (known after apply)
+ trigger_template {
+ branch_name = "main"
+ project_id = (known after apply)
+ repo_name = "my-repo"
}
}
Plan: 1 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy.
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Note: You didn't use the -out option to save this plan, so Terraform can't
guarantee to take exactly these actions if you run "terraform apply" now.
