Reject config mistakes instead of silently ignoring them - #677
Three config mistakes passed validation and quietly changed behaviour. Found in a bug sweep of main.
Boolean env vars. A boolean PROXY_* variable was true only for exactly true or 1, so PROXY_SCANNING_ENABLED=True turned scanning off without a word. They now accept what strconv.ParseBool accepts (true/True/TRUE/t/1 and the false forms). Any other value keeps the current setting and logs a warning at startup, as PROXY_GRADLE_BUILD_CACHE_READ_ONLY already did. Note that no/off, which used to mean false by accident, now keep the default and warn.
Scanner ecosystems.scanning.scanners[].ecosystems was never checked and was compared exactly against handler keys. go, docker and rubygems validated but never matched golang, oci and gem, so a block-mode scanner for Go modules never ran and modules were cached unscanned. Common aliases are now mapped to the handler keys, the scanner group compares the mapped names, and an unknown name stops startup with the list of valid ones.
Sizes and TTLs.ParseSize accepted -5GB, NaNGB, InfGB and 1e30GB; a negative storage.max_size passed validation and eviction treated it as unlimited. These are now rejected, as are negative metadata_ttl and storage.direct_serve_ttl.
docs/configuration.md is updated to match.
Tests: TestLoadBoolsFromEnvParseStrictly, TestScannerEcosystems, TestGroup_NormalisesEcosystemAliases, TestParseSizeRejectsOutOfRange and TestValidateRejectsNegativeTTLs each fail on main and pass here.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Configuration
Boolean environment-variable settings accept case-insensitive true/false spellings, including yes/no and on/off. Invalid values leave the existing setting in effect and produce a startup warning.
Scanner ecosystem names accept supported aliases and are normalized; unknown names are rejected at startup.
Negative or out-of-range storage sizes and negative metadata or direct-serve TTLs are rejected at startup.
Documentation
Updated configuration guidance to describe accepted values and startup behavior.
Every boolean PROXY_* variable was true only for exactly "true" or
"1". Anything else, including "True", "TRUE" or a typo, silently
meant false, so PROXY_SCANNING_ENABLED=True turned scanning off and
validation still passed.
Parse them with strconv.ParseBool like
PROXY_GRADLE_BUILD_CACHE_READ_ONLY already does. An unrecognised value
now keeps the current setting and is logged as a warning at startup.
scanning.scanners[].ecosystems was never checked, and the scanner group
compared it exactly against the keys handlers pass. Natural names such
as go, docker and rubygems passed validation but never matched the
handler keys golang, oci and gem, so a block-mode scanner restricted to
them silently never ran.
Map common aliases to the handler keys, reject unknown names at
startup, and normalise the names again when building the group.
ParseSize accepted "-5GB", "NaNGB", "InfGB" and "1e30GB", the last
two clamping to the largest int64. A negative or NaN storage.max_size
passed validation, and eviction treats a limit of zero or less as
unlimited.
Reject negative, NaN, infinite and overflowing sizes in ParseSize, and
reject negative metadata_ttl and storage.direct_serve_ttl at startup.
Configuration parsing now normalizes scanner ecosystems, warns about invalid Boolean environment values, and rejects invalid sizes and negative TTLs. The mirror command prints environment warnings to standard error. Tests and configuration documentation cover these behaviors.
Configuration validation normalizes ecosystem aliases and rejects unsupported names. Scanner groups use normalized keys. Tests and documentation cover aliases and unknown names.
Boolean environment overrides and warnings internal/config/config.go, internal/config/config_test.go, cmd/proxy/main.go, cmd/proxy/main_test.go, docs/configuration.md
Boolean overrides accept case-insensitive, trimmed yes/no and on/off values, as well as strconv.ParseBool values. Invalid values retain the current setting and add a warning. The mirror command prints warnings to standard error. Tests and documentation cover the parsing and warning behavior.
Size and duration validation internal/config/config.go, internal/config/config_test.go, docs/configuration.md
Size parsing rejects negative, non-finite, out-of-range, and positive fractional-byte values that truncate below one byte. Direct-serve and metadata TTL validation rejects negative durations. Tests and documentation cover these constraints.
Configuration behavior is ready to merge with a bounded test-isolation concern: add a pre-storage guard so a future validation change cannot turn the warning test into a real mirror operation.
Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to f4d07
Scanner selection and resource validation are strengthened. However, previously rejected Gradle read-only settings such as off now enable uploads, so upgrading an affected installation can let reachable clients modify its shared build cache. Default configurations remain read-only.
Retained concerns
Medium · security · observed: An upgrade can change an existing Gradle cache from read-only to writable without a configuration edit. PROXY_GRADLE_BUILD_CACHE_READ_ONLY=no or off previously forced read-only and emitted a warning; the new shared parser accepts these values as false. A client able to reach the Gradle endpoint can then upload or replace shared cache entries through the existing PUT path. The default remains read-only, and explicit false already enabled writes before this PR, but affected existing values lose their former fail-closed behavior.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The Gradle compatibility concern is bounded to installations using newly accepted false spellings and clients permitted to reach their Gradle endpoint. Writable keys share the instance's _gradle/http-build-cache namespace rather than a per-client namespace, so affected content can be consumed by other clients of that cache. Exposure beyond the instance depends on deployment routing and downstream cache use.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
observed — On an affected upgrade, an existing no/off environment value sets GradleReadOnly to false. A reachable client can supply a valid cache key and PUT body, which reaches Storage.Store without a writer identity check in the inspected handler. Key syntax and upload-size checks remain, but neither establishes authority to replace shared build-cache content.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The changed booleans are applied from process environment during startup, not supplied by the Gradle request. Explicit false already enabled writes before this PR; true and unrecognized values still preserve the Gradle read-only barrier. General documentation and tests intentionally broaden accepted spellings, while the Gradle-specific documentation still promises that other spellings keep uploads off.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — The inspected blob storage implementation cancels its writer before closing after a failed copy, and reports writer-close failures rather than successful completion. These existing failure controls do not prevent an authorized-by-configuration successful PUT from replacing a shared Gradle key.

Explanation
The title is concise and accurate. The changeset makes config validation strict. Boolean env values, scanner ecosystem names, and size and TTL values now produce errors or warnings instead of being silently ignored. The phrase "Reject config mistakes" covers the main behavior. The title is a single sentence with no noise. Some changes add warnings rather than rejections, so the title is slightly narrow, but it still matches the main intent.

Normalize the incoming ecosystem before matching.
When a versioned mirror PURL uses go or rubygems, the proxy can pass that raw ecosystem to scanner matching. The configured key is now golang or gem, so Blocks can return false and Scan can allow the artifact without the restricted scanner’s verdict.

Before the strict parser, PROXY_TRUST_FORWARDED_FOR=no meant false.
With only strconv.ParseBool's forms accepted, no was ignored and a
setting enabled in the config file stayed on. Accept yes/no/on/off in
any case for every boolean variable, the Gradle read-only one included.
server.Start logs the warnings LoadFromEnv collects, but mirror never
calls it, so an unparseable boolean there was dropped without a word.
Print them to stderr before validating the config. stats and hosted
don't load the config file and aren't affected.
ParseSize truncated fractional sizes such as 0.5B to 0, and a
storage.max_size of 0 means unlimited. Reject a non-zero size that
would round down to 0 bytes.
applicable compared the caller's ecosystem raw against the normalised
configured keys, so a caller passing an alias such as go or rubygems
skipped a scanner restricted to golang or gem. Normalise it first.
NewGroup now also rejects unknown names the way Validate does, through
a shared ScannerEcosystemKey, instead of building a scanner that can
never match.
Boolean env vars also accept yes/no/on/off (any case). Before, keeping the current value on no meant a setting enabled in the config file, like trust_forwarded_for, could no longer be turned off from the environment.
proxy mirror prints the ignored-value warnings too; only serve logged them.
A non-zero size below one byte (0.5B) is rejected, since it came out as 0, which means unlimited.
The scanner group normalises the ecosystem it is asked about, so a raw go or rubygems still matches, and NewGroup rejects unknown names the same way Validate does.
Add a second pre-storage guard to the subprocess test.
If negative-size validation changes, the subprocess can open the database and storage and run a real mirror. -dry-run does not prevent storage initialization. Disable artifact caching instead; mirror rejects it after printing warnings and before opening storage.
Suggested fix
- // The negative size stops mirror before it opens any storage.+ // Both settings stop mirror before it opens any storage.

"PROXY_TEST_MIRROR_ENV_WARNINGS=1",
"PROXY_CACHE_METADATA=maybe",
