From 0b4b5367c20c8dd7f4f24e131c2866e83e1488fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Fri, 29 May 2026 01:59:11 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] feat: harden dotenv with secure-by-default loading and correct parsing Redesign the loader to be lighter and security-first while keeping the public API backward compatible (existing tests still pass). Security & correctness: - Default no longer overrides existing env vars (12-factor): the process environment is authoritative. Add Overload / Options.Override for opt-in. - Files are applied atomically: parse fully before setting any variable, so a malformed file never leaves a half-applied environment. - POSIX-ish quoting fixed: double quotes expand escapes (\n \r \t \\ \"), single quotes are literal, unquoted values support inline "# comments". - Reject trailing garbage after a closing quote (ErrInvalidFormat). - Support optional leading "export " token and UTF-8 BOM. - Multi-line quoted values (e.g. PEM keys) are supported. - Replace bufio.Scanner (64KB line cap) with byte-based parsing. - Enforce size limit on bytes actually read (safe for pipes/special files); add configurable Options.MaxFileSize and ErrFileTooLarge sentinel. New API (additive, zero dependencies, single file): - Parse(io.Reader) / ParseBytes([]byte): pure parsing into a map with no global side effects. - Overload(...): explicit override loader. - DefaultMaxFileSize constant. Docs & tests: - Rewrite README (EN/ES) for the new behavior; drop the misleading "path sanitization prevents directory traversal" claim. - Update example to showcase Parse and Overload. - Add parse_test.go covering quoting, comments, export, BOM/CRLF, multi-line, override semantics, atomicity, size limits, and no-side-effect parsing. https://claude.ai/code/session_01P1nZkYKTFp9CRKDUEysphw --- README.md | 192 +++++++++++++++++------- dotenv.go | 367 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- example/program.go | 37 +++-- parse_test.go | 217 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 669 insertions(+), 144 deletions(-) create mode 100644 parse_test.go diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 45c91f9..39f9386 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -10,12 +10,12 @@ A minimalist, secure, and robust Go library for loading environment variables fr ### Features -- **Minimalist**: Focus on loading environment variables safely - nothing more, nothing less -- **Secure**: File size limits, path sanitization, and permission checks -- **Robust**: Comprehensive error handling with specific error types -- **Clean**: Professional code structure following clean architecture principles -- **Flexible**: Support for multiple files and configuration options -- **Safe**: Input validation and secure parsing +- **Minimalist**: Zero dependencies (standard library only), single file.

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Add the infrastructure and documentation that drive a Go package's discoverability on pkg.go.dev, Go Report Card and search engines. Discoverability & docs: - README: pkg.go.dev / Go Report Card / CI / codecov / license / version / zero-deps badges, keyword-rich tagline, a "Why dotenv? (vs godotenv)" comparison table, performance numbers, and an FAQ targeting common queries. - Keyword-optimized package synopsis (the first sentence pkg.go.dev indexes). - Testable Example functions (rendered on pkg.go.dev) and benchmarks. Quality & trust signals: - GitHub Actions CI: build/vet/test matrix across Go 1.17–1.23 on Linux/macOS/Windows, a race+coverage job (Codecov), and a gofmt+golangci-lint job. - CodeQL security scanning workflow. - golangci-lint v2 config; repo is lint-clean and gofmt-clean (incl. existing test file). - Dependabot for modules and GitHub Actions. Project health: - CHANGELOG, CONTRIBUTING, SECURITY (private advisory reporting + design notes), CODE_OF_CONDUCT, issue forms, PR template, and a Makefile. Coverage is 90%; all examples and benchmarks pass. https://claude.ai/code/session_01P1nZkYKTFp9CRKDUEysphw --- .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml | 39 ++++++++++ .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml | 8 +++ .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.yml | 24 +++++++ .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md | 20 ++++++ .github/dependabot.yml | 15 ++++ .github/workflows/ci.yml | 65 +++++++++++++++++ .github/workflows/codeql.yml | 32 +++++++++ .golangci.yml | 24 +++++++ CHANGELOG.md | 53 ++++++++++++++ CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md | 30 ++++++++ CONTRIBUTING.md | 48 +++++++++++++ Makefile | 33 +++++++++ README.md | 84 +++++++++++++++++++++- SECURITY.md | 36 ++++++++++ benchmark_test.go | 50 +++++++++++++ dotenv.go | 10 +-- dotenv_test.go | 80 ++++++++++----------- example/program.go | 2 + example_test.go | 84 ++++++++++++++++++++++ 19 files changed, 690 insertions(+), 47 deletions(-) create mode 100644 .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml create mode 100644 .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml create mode 100644 .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.yml create mode 100644 .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md create mode 100644 .github/dependabot.yml create mode 100644 .github/workflows/ci.yml create mode 100644 .github/workflows/codeql.yml create mode 100644 .golangci.yml create mode 100644 CHANGELOG.md create mode 100644 CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md create mode 100644 CONTRIBUTING.md create mode 100644 Makefile create mode 100644 SECURITY.md create mode 100644 benchmark_test.go create mode 100644 example_test.go diff --git a/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml b/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000..55df284 --- /dev/null +++ b/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml @@ -0,0 +1,39 @@ +name: Bug report +description: Report a problem with the dotenv package +labels: ["bug"] +body: + - type: textarea + id: what + attributes: + label: What happened? + description: A clear description of the bug. + validations: + required: true + - type: textarea + id: repro + attributes: + label: Minimal reproduction + description: A minimal .env snippet and Go code that reproduces the issue. + render: go + validations: + required: true + - type: textarea + id: expected + attributes: + label: Expected behavior + validations: + required: true + - type: input + id: version + attributes: + label: Package version + placeholder: v1.2.0 + validations: + required: true + - type: input + id: goversion + attributes: + label: Go version (go version) + placeholder: go1.23.0 linux/amd64 + validations: + required: true diff --git a/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml b/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000..58368b3 --- /dev/null +++ b/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml @@ -0,0 +1,8 @@ +blank_issues_enabled: false +contact_links: + - name: Question or discussion + url: https://github.com/jaavier/dotenv/discussions + about: Ask questions and discuss usage with the community. + - name: Security vulnerability + url: https://github.com/jaavier/dotenv/security/advisories/new + about: Privately report a security issue (do not open a public issue). diff --git a/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.yml b/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000..5b45565 --- /dev/null +++ b/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.yml @@ -0,0 +1,24 @@ +name: Feature request +description: Suggest an idea for the dotenv package +labels: ["enhancement"] +body: + - type: textarea + id: problem + attributes: + label: Problem + description: What problem would this feature solve?
