The previous guard was a denylist over whitespace-separated tokens, which
missed every form that does not put the action in its own token:

  /ip/address/set numbers=0 disabled=yes   RouterOS v7 slash syntax
  /ip address print; /system reboot        write chained after a read
  /system reboot                           never on the list at all
  /system reset-configuration              never on the list at all
  :execute script="/system reboot"         script wrapper

A command now runs only if it names a read-only action (print, get, find,
export, monitor, ping, traceroute, resolve) and names no mutating one.
Statements are split on ';' and newlines so a write cannot hide behind a
read, and argument values are excluded from path analysis so that a '/' in
address=10.0.0.1/24 is not mistaken for a path separator.

BREAKING CHANGE: commands that are not recognised as read-only are now
refused rather than forwarded to the router.

This is a guard rail, not a permission boundary: it runs on the client, so
it protects the operator from mistakes, not the router from a determined
user. The real guarantee is a RouterOS account in the `read` group.

Host key verification
---------------------
check_server_key returned Ok(true) unconditionally, so any machine on the
path could impersonate the router and collect the credentials MikroTUI was
about to send. The server key is now matched against known_hosts before
authentication, exactly as ssh does:

  - an unknown key is shown with its SHA256 fingerprint and accepted only on
    confirmation, or non-interactively with --accept-new-hostkey;
  - a changed key is always fatal and never offered for acceptance;
  - --known-hosts <PATH> selects a different file.

The decision is never taken inside the async handler: verification failures
travel out as a typed HostKeyIssue, so the prompt happens before raw mode is
entered. Connecting now also happens before the TUI starts, which means an
auth failure prints a readable error instead of an empty screen.

Credentials
-----------
Passwords were XOR-ed against a key derived from $USER and a salt compiled
into the published binary, and the README called that encryption. It is not:
anyone able to read config.json could recover the password, and no
unattended local scheme can do better, since a key the program recomputes on
its own is a key an attacker recomputes on its own.

Passwords are therefore no longer stored by default. They resolve from
--password-stdin, MIKROTUI_PASSWORD, the OS keyring (optional `keyring`
feature), the legacy config field (now warning on every use), or a prompt.
--password still works but warns that it is visible in ps and shell history.
`mikrotui host migrate` moves existing obfuscated passwords into the keyring.

The keyring feature is off by default so that `cargo install` keeps working
on headless machines; it uses the pure-Rust zbus backend, so neither
libdbus-1-dev nor OpenSSL is needed to build it.

config.json and known_hosts are now created with mode 0600 at creation time
instead of being chmod-ed after the write, closing the window in which
credentials were world-readable.

Also in this change
-------------------
  - Refresh failures reach the status bar. Every error was swallowed by
    .ok() and still reported as "Data successfully updated via SSH".
  - --demo on the dump and exec subcommands was ignored, sending those
    commands into the interactive first-run wizard.

BREAKING CHANGE: the Safe Mode toggle (Ctrl+X) is gone. It set a boolean
that nothing ever read, so the [SAFE MODE: ENABLED] badge advertised a
protection that did not exist; the header now reports whether the host key
was actually verified. The enc_password config field is renamed to
obfuscated_password to say what it holds - configs using the old name still
load. Connections to a router whose key is not yet in known_hosts now fail
unless the key is accepted, so unattended callers need --accept-new-hostkey.

The tree had never been rustfmt-clean (176 diffs before this change), which
would make `cargo fmt --check` unusable as a CI gate. Formatting only, in
its own commit so it does not bury the security diff that precedes it.

Collapses the eight-field DataLoaded variant and the nine-argument
apply_loaded_data into a single LoadedData struct, boxed inside the event so
one ~490 byte payload no longer sets the size of every AppEvent, and swaps a
map_or for is_some_and. `clippy --all-targets --all-features -D warnings` is
now clean, which is what makes it usable as a required check.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The only workflow so far was release-plz, so nothing checked a change before
it reached main. The read-only allowlist and the host key verification added
in this branch are enforced entirely by unit tests, which made them a
regression away from being silently undone.

  check        rustfmt, clippy -D warnings, and the test suite with and
               without the optional keyring feature
  cross-build  macOS and Windows, with and without keyring. Each platform
               picks a different credential store behind cfg(), so a
               Linux-only pipeline would never compile the other two.
  audit        cargo-audit, failing on any advisory except one documented
               ignore with its reason and its exit condition

Without a terminal, the host key confirmation failed with inquire's "The
input device is not a TTY", which says nothing about how to proceed and
invites reaching for the wrong workaround. The unresolved issue is reported
instead, and it names both the fingerprint and --accept-new-hostkey.

Also drops the last "Safe Mode" reference, in the --help summary.

Credential storage and migration
src/config.rs, src/secrets.rs, src/wizard.rs, src/main.rs, Cargo.toml
Passwords support stdin, environment, keyring, obfuscated configuration storage, prompting, and migration. Configuration files use owner-only permissions.
Application refresh and host-key state
src/app.rs, src/main.rs
Refresh events carry aggregate optional results. Connection failures and host-key status update application state.
TUI status and controls
src/ui/header.rs, src/ui/theme.rs, src/ui/help_modal.rs, src/ui/statusbar.rs
The TUI displays host-key status and replaces the Safe Mode shortcut with host switching.
Validation and formatting
.github/workflows/ci.yml, src/ssh/parser.rs, src/ui/*
CI adds feature tests, cross-platform builds, and security auditing. Existing parser and rendering code is reformatted without behavior changes.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to aef3e

This PR adds SSH security hardening and credential-storage changes, but the current version still permits command-filtering bypasses, exposes unnecessary CI credentials, may fail on iOS, can mishandle keyring operations, and can show stale router data or retain overly permissive credential files. These issues create significant merge-readiness risk and should be fixed before merging.

apple-native-keyring-store refuses to build on macOS unless one of its
`keychain` or `protected` features is selected, the same way the zbus store
needs a runtime feature. `keychain` is the login-keychain store that
secrets::backend::init actually calls.

Caught by the cross-build matrix on its first run, which is what that job
exists for: this code is behind cfg(target_os) and cannot be compiled on
Linux at all.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
cargo audit on the first CI run reported two vulnerabilities that a manual
check of the russh and russh-keys advisory directories had missed, because
they are filed against transitive crates:

  RUSTSEC-2026-0153  russh-cryptovec  7.5 high
  RUSTSEC-2023-0071  rsa              5.9 medium

RUSTSEC-2026-0153 is the one that matters. The earlier reading of its sibling
advisory concluded the flaw was confined to the SSH agent and therefore
unreachable, since MikroTUI never speaks to an agent. That holds for russh
0.60.x, but not for the 0.45 this crate pinned: the advisory records that
before 0.58.0, CryptoVec also backed transport and zlib decompression
buffers, so plain remote SSH traffic could drive the unchecked growth path.
AV:N, no privileges required. A hostile or compromised router could have
exhausted memory in the client.

Upgrading to 0.63 fixes it and drops russh-keys, which is now folded into
russh. Ported with it:

  - russh_keys::*            -> russh::keys::*
  - key::PublicKey           -> ssh_key::PublicKey, whose Display already
                                renders the SHA256: prefix
  - check_server_key         -> takes PublicKeyOrCertificate and is a native
                                async trait method, so async_trait is gone.
                                Certificate host keys are refused rather than
                                accepted unverified: validating a CA is not
                                implemented and RouterOS presents a plain key.
  - authenticate_password    -> returns AuthResult instead of bool

Re-verified against a live sshd: unknown key prompts with a fingerprint
identical to `ssh-keygen -lf`, --accept-new-hostkey records it at mode 0600,
a known key connects without prompting, a changed key is fatal, and a
non-interactive run reports an actionable error.

RUSTSEC-2023-0071 stays ignored, now with an accurate reason: upstream lists
no patched version, and the Marvin attack times private-key decryption while
MikroTUI holds no RSA private key. `--deny warnings` is also dropped, since
the unmaintained and unsound advisories it caught (fxhash, paste, lru) come
from ratatui and inquire and are not ours to fix; real vulnerabilities still
fail the build.

BREAKING CHANGE: certificate-based SSH host keys are refused. No RouterOS
release presents one, but a jump host configured with a CA-signed key would
now be rejected instead of silently trusted.

318-373: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

apply_loaded_data discards empty results, contradicting the LoadedData contract.

The doc comment on LoadedData at Lines 73-74 states that None means the fetch failed and an empty Vec means the router genuinely has none of that resource. Every branch here then drops the empty case and keeps the previous values.

The consequence is stale state that the UI presents as current. If an operator deletes every firewall rule, the next refresh returns Some(vec![]), the view keeps the deleted rules, and Line 372 reports ✅ Data successfully updated via SSH. The same applies to routes, DHCP leases, and neighbors. For a read-only inspection tool, displaying resources that no longer exist is worse than displaying none.

Assign on Some and let None preserve the previous value. That is the distinction the Option was added to carry.

The success message is also unconditional. If several fetches returned None, the status bar still claims success.

The trailing clamp matters once empty results are honored: selected_index is not reset here, and the render paths index filtered_*() by it.

load_all_data at Lines 385-438 carries the same empty-result logic and should change with it.

172-211: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

A host switch during an in-flight reload shows the previous router's data under the new router's name.

switch_host replaces self.client, clears every view model, and then calls trigger_background_reload. It never inspects or resets self.is_loading.

If a reload is already running, two things follow:

  1. trigger_background_reload returns early at its is_loading guard, so no fetch is issued for the new host. The views stay empty until the user presses r.
  2. The task still running for the previous host later sends AppEvent::DataLoaded. apply_loaded_data writes that payload into the view models, and AppEvent::HostKeyVerified(true) sets host_key_verified for the previous session. The header then renders the new host name and [HOST KEY: VERIFIED] next to the previous router's interfaces, routes, and firewall rules.

A reload over SSH takes seconds, so the window is easy to hit with Ctrl+O then Enter.

Tag each reload with a generation counter and discard events from a superseded generation.

🐛 Proposed fix: generation-stamped reload events

Add a counter to App and to the two affected events:

// In App
pub reload_generation: u64,   // initialize to 0 in with_client

// In AppEvent
LoadFailed(u64, String),
HostKeyVerified(u64, bool),
DataLoaded(u64, Box<LoadedData>),
             self.client = RouterClient::new(new_ssh_config);
             self.host_key_verified = false;
+            // Invalidate any reload still running against the previous host.
+            self.reload_generation += 1;
+            self.is_loading = false;
             self.show_host_switch_modal = false;

trigger_background_reload captures self.reload_generation and stamps every event it sends. run_app in src/main.rs drops any event whose stamp is not equal to app.reload_generation.

OpenOptions::mode only applies when the call creates the file. Both helpers set 0o600 through opts.mode(...) and then treat the resulting file as owner-only. For a path that already exists with a wider mode, the mode argument is ignored and the file keeps its previous permissions. save_to partially compensates with a trailing set_permissions, but only after the credentials are already written; create_private_file does not compensate at all.

  • src/config.rs#L115-L136: write to a sibling temp file created 0o600, then fs::rename over path. This closes the window in which a pre-existing 0o644 config.json holds the new credentials, and makes the replacement atomic so a failed write cannot truncate the stored hosts.

Map the selection by identity, not by emoji prefix, and fail safe.

The branch at Line 40 keys on the leading emoji, and the final else resolves to ConfigFile. ConfigFile is the least protective destination. If a later edit changes the "🔐 OS keyring (recommended)" label and drops the emoji, the keyring choice silently becomes an obfuscated config-file write with no warning to the user.

Pair each label with its destination so the mapping cannot drift, and make the unmatched case DoNotStore.

Do not add a discard-only presence wrapper.

secrets::keyring_get calls get_password(), so this loop retrieves each password. keyring-core 1.0 has no presence-only API. A wrapper that maps the returned String to bool still performs the retrieval and backend round trip. If this exposure is unacceptable, omit credential-presence detection or use a backend-specific existence query.

In `@src/config.rs`:
- Around line 166-174: Update create_private_file so an existing path is ensured
to have owner-only permissions while preserving its contents; after opening the
file, apply the appropriate permissions with fs::set_permissions on Unix without
enabling truncate, or reject pre-existing paths with create_new(true) if that
matches the intended contract.
- Around line 299-303: Update the umask test setup to use the direct libc
dependency and its target-correct mode_t-compatible type through libc::umask,
and replace manual restoration with a Drop guard that always restores the
original process umask during unwinding or early return. Ensure the guard covers
the full test scope and retains the existing umask behavior.

In `@src/main.rs`:
- Around line 189-239: Bound the connection retry in the flow around
RouterClient::connect so that after the user accepts an unknown host key and

Store::new so the apple_native_keyring_store::keychain::Store path is compiled
only for macOS; use apple_native_keyring_store::protected::Store on iOS, or
otherwise exclude iOS from the existing condition while preserving behavior on
supported platforms.
- Around line 79-112: Update keyring initialization and operations around init
and entry so Linux Store::new(), reads, and writes execute entirely via Tokio
spawn_blocking (or an async backend), keeping blocking D-Bus work off Tokio
workers. Preserve initialization errors instead of reducing them to “no OS
keyring is reachable,” and propagate get_password lookup failures rather than
converting every error into None. Keep successful missing-secret handling
distinct from actual backend errors.

READ-ONLY status from being truncated in the header layout.

In `@src/wizard.rs`:

app_config.save so it collects successful host results, performs the save first,
then prints per-host success messages and the summary only after the save
succeeds. If saving fails, propagate an error stating that keyring entries were
created but config.json was not updated. Ensure the two keyring-unavailable
paths return an error status instead of reporting successful completion.

applying empty results so render paths cannot index past filtered collections.
Make the success status conditional on the fetch results rather than reporting
success when any required fetch returned None.
- Around line 172-211: Tag reload work with a generation counter on App,
increment it in switch_host, and clear the loading state so the new host starts
a reload. Update LoadFailed, HostKeyVerified, and DataLoaded to carry the
generation captured by trigger_background_reload, and have run_app discard
events whose generation no longer matches app.reload_generation.

In `@src/config.rs`:
- Around line 115-136: Update Config::save_to in src/config.rs lines 115-136 to
serialize into a sibling temporary file created with 0o600, then rename it over
path so existing permissions are never exposed to newly written credentials and
writes remain atomic. Update create_private_file in src/config.rs lines 166-174
to either reject existing paths with create_new(true), or set 0o600 after
opening and enable truncate(true) to prevent stale contents; apply the chosen
behavior consistently there.

GitHub Actions workflow syntax permissions unspecified permissions set to none contents read pull_request token default permissions official documentation

💡 Result:

When using the permissions key in a GitHub Actions workflow or job, if you explicitly define any permission, all other permissions that you do not specify are automatically set to none [1][2][3]. This behavior is a core component of the workflow security model designed to support the principle of least privilege [4][5]. By default, if the permissions key is completely omitted from a workflow, the GITHUB_TOKEN inherits the default permissions configured at the repository or organization level (which may be read-only or read-write) [6][7]. However, as soon as you provide a permissions block, you take full control of the token's scope, and any omitted permissions are effectively disabled [1][8]. For example, if you define only the contents permission, all other possible permissions—such as issues, pull-requests, or packages—will be set to none: permissions: contents: read In this case, the action would have read access to the repository contents, but no access to pull requests or other GitHub features [2]. To grant access to multiple scopes, you must explicitly list each one [4][8].

Citations:


Set explicit read-only GITHUB_TOKEN permissions.

Because this workflow executes pull-request code, an omitted permissions block can inherit broader repository or organization defaults. Add workflow-level contents: read; unspecified permissions then become none.

Rust std::fs::OpenOptionsExt::mode applies only when creating a new file

💡 Result:

Yes, the Rust std::fs::OpenOptionsExt::mode method only affects the permissions of a file when it is created [1][2][3]. When you use OpenOptions to open a file on Unix-like systems, the mode argument is passed to the underlying system open call only when the file is being created (typically when O_CREAT is specified) [4][5]. If the file already exists, this mode parameter is ignored by the operating system [4]. If you need to change the permissions of an existing file, you should use std::fs::set_permissions instead [6]. Summary of behavior: - New file: The specified mode is used as the permission bits (subject to the process's umask) [1][3]. - Existing file: The mode setting is ignored [4]. To modify an existing file's permissions, use: std::fs::set_permissions(path, std::fs::Permissions::from_mode(mode)) [6].

Citations:


Ensure existing paths receive owner-only permissions without truncating them. OpenOptions::mode(0o600) does not change permissions on an existing file, so create_private_file can return successfully for a 0o644 path. Use create_new(true) to reject existing paths, or call fs::set_permissions after opening without adding truncate(true), which could destroy an existing known_hosts file during a race.

Rust 1.82 unsafe extern blocks stabilized edition 2021 official release notes

💡 Result:

In Rust 1.82.0, released on October 17, 2024, the feature "unsafe extern blocks" was stabilized [1][2][3]. This feature (RFC 3484) introduces the ability to mark extern blocks with the unsafe keyword, explicitly signaling that the responsibility for ensuring the correctness of foreign function interface (FFI) signatures lies with the author of the block [2][4][5]. Key details of this stabilization include: 1. Syntax: You can now define blocks using the unsafe extern syntax [2][5]. 2. Safety Modifiers: Within these unsafe extern blocks, you can explicitly annotate items with safe or unsafe modifiers [2][5]. Items without an explicit modifier default to unsafe [2][5]. 3. Edition Compatibility: This feature is available in all Rust editions [4][5]. While it is optional in the 2021 edition and earlier, it becomes a requirement in the 2024 edition [2][4][5]. 4. Migration: The compiler provides the missing_unsafe_on_extern lint to help developers identify extern blocks that should be updated to use the new syntax as part of the transition to the 2024 edition [4][6]. By requiring the unsafe keyword on extern blocks, the language makes the inherent safety requirements of foreign imports more transparent, helping to prevent undefined behavior caused by incorrect FFI signatures [4][5].

Rust libc crate umask mode_t signature Unix macOS Linux libc::umask official docs

💡 Result:

In the Rust libc crate, the signature for the umask function is: pub unsafe extern "C" fn umask(mask: mode_t) -> mode_t This function is provided as a raw FFI binding to the underlying platform's system library [1][2]. Because libc provides bindings that match the target platform's native C headers, the exact size and definition of the mode_t type used in this signature depend on the specific operating system and architecture for which your code is compiled [2]. On both Linux and macOS, the function behaves according to standard Unix conventions [3]. It sets the process's file mode creation mask to the provided mask argument and returns the previous value [3]. Since it is an unsafe function, you must ensure that its usage adheres to the safety requirements of calling foreign functions in Rust [4][1]. For further details regarding the specific definition of mode_t on your target platform, you can refer to the official documentation on docs.rs by selecting the relevant target triple [2].

macOS Darwin mode_t typedef size umask Rust libc mode_t source

💡 Result:

On macOS (Darwin), the mode_t type is defined as a typedef for darwin_mode_t [1][2], which is ultimately a 16-bit unsigned integer (uint16_t) [3][4]. This definition is located in the system headers at <sys/_types/_mode_t.h> [1][2], which is included by <sys/types.h> [5] and used within <sys/stat.h> [6][7]. In the context of the Rust programming language, the libc crate provides the corresponding definition for macOS (target_os = "apple") as pub type mode_t = u16; [8]. Historically, Rust's standard library contained macOS-specific raw type aliases (e.g., std::os::macos::raw::mode_t) [9][10]. These were deprecated and removed in favor of using the libc crate directly for platform-specific FFI definitions [10]. Summary of Key Facts: - macOS System Header Definition: typedef uint16_t darwin_mode_t; [3][4] - Effective Size: 16 bits (2 bytes) [3][8] - Primary Rust Source: libc crate (pub type mode_t = u16;) [8] - Usage: Used for file attributes, including protection modes (st_mode) [6][7] and in functions like umask, chmod, and mkdir [7].

Make the umask test cleanup panic-safe and use a platform-correct binding.

  • Restore the process-wide umask through a Drop guard. An error or panic before the current restore leaves subsequent tests with umask 0o000.
  • Use libc::umask with target-specific mode_t. The current u32 binding is incorrect on macOS, where mode_t is u16; add libc as a direct dependency.

Stop the retry loop when the key was already accepted.

The loop sets ssh_config.host_key_policy = HostKeyPolicy::AcceptNew and retries. If hostkey::learn cannot write known_hosts (read-only file, unwritable directory), hostkey::verify records HostKeyIssue::Unknown again. The loop then prompts again with the same question, and the write fails again. The user sees the same prompt repeatedly with no explanation.

Fail after one acceptance attempt so the write error surfaces.

zbus-secret-service-keyring-store Store::new blocking tokio runtime async API

💡 Result:

The Store::new method in the zbus-secret-service-keyring-store crate is synchronous and blocking by design [1][2]. It is not an asynchronous API, and it should not be called directly from within an async context (such as inside a tokio::spawn or an async function running on the tokio runtime) [3][4][5]. Calling blocking operations from within an async runtime can cause the executor thread to stall, lead to unexpected behavior, or trigger panics [3][6][5]. Because the underlying Secret Service communication relies on D-Bus, which is frequently synchronous in these wrapper implementations, using this store inside a tokio runtime will block the runtime thread and can potentially cause deadlocks [3][6]. To safely use this crate in an asynchronous application: 1. Offload the blocking calls: If you must use this store within an application that also uses tokio, you should perform all keyring operations (including Store::new and any credential access) on a separate dedicated thread using tokio::task::spawn_blocking [3][6]. 2. Configure features correctly: Ensure you have enabled the appropriate features for your use case. As documented for the zbus-secret-service crate (which this store wraps), if your application uses an async runtime, you should enable the specific features (e.g., rt-tokio-crypto-rust or rt-tokio-crypto-openssl) to ensure proper integration [7][8][9]. For pure async-native Secret Service operations without these blocking hazards, consider using the async-based API provided directly by the underlying secret-service crate rather than the blocking keyring store wrapper [4][10].

💡 Result:

The zbus-secret-service-keyring-store crate provides a credential store for the keyring ecosystem that utilizes the Secret Service API via the zbus-secret-service crate [1][2]. Regarding your specific components: Store::new The Store::new function is used to instantiate the credential store [3]. It returns a Result containing an Arc to the Store instance [3]. According to the official documentation, the store is currently not configurable; therefore, Store::new creates an instance with default settings [3]. rt-tokio-crypto-rust This is a feature flag for the crate [4][5]. The crate does not have its own internal feature logic; instead, it passes its features directly to the secret-service crate [6][7]. The rt-tokio-crypto-rust feature is designed for applications using the Tokio asynchronous runtime that also require the Rust-based cryptographic backend [4][2]. Usage Note To use this store, you must take a dependency on both keyring-core and zbus-secret-service-keyring-store [4][2]. When using an asynchronous runtime, you must enable exactly one of the four mutually-exclusive features (such as rt-tokio-crypto-rust) to specify both the runtime and the cryptographic backend [4][6]. Example instantiation: keyring_core::set_default_store(Store::new.expect("Failed to create store")); [8]

"zbus-secret-service-keyring-store" "pub fn new" source

💡 Result:

In the zbus-secret-service-keyring-store crate, the pub fn new function is defined on the Store struct [1]. It is used to create a new instance of the credential store, which uses the Secret Service API as its backend [2]. The function signature is as follows: pub fn new -> Result<Arc> [1] This function initializes the store with default settings [1]. Because stores are not currently configurable, this method is the standard way to instantiate one [1]. If custom configuration is needed in the future, the crate also provides a pub fn new_with_configuration(config: &HashMap<&str, &str>) -> Result<Arc> method, though it is currently noted as an entry point for future-proofing rather than for active configuration [1]. Typical usage involves calling this constructor to initialize the store as the process-wide keyring backend, often followed by setting it as the default store for the keyring ecosystem [3][4]. It requires a running Secret Service daemon (such as GNOME Keyring or KWallet) accessible over D-Bus [4].

"impl Store" "secret_service::SsClient" "zbus-secret-service-keyring-store"

💡 Result:

In the context of the zbus-secret-service-keyring-store crate, the Store struct is designed to implement the CredentialStoreApi trait rather than manually implementing an interface for secret_service::SsClient [1][2]. The zbus-secret-service-keyring-store acts as a wrapper that uses the secret-service crate (which provides the SecretService struct and its related types) as its backend [3][2]. If you are looking to interact with the Secret Service API directly, you should use the SecretService struct provided by the secret-service crate [4][5]. Key implementation details: 1. The zbus-secret-service-keyring-store crate provides a Store struct that manages credential storage within the Secret Service [1][3]. You do not need to implement this manually; you instantiate it using Store::new or Store::new_with_configuration [1]. 2. The store automatically handles communication with the Secret Service backend [3][2]. 3. For direct interaction, use secret_service::SecretService::connect(EncryptionType) [6][4]. If you need to customize or extend the existing Secret Service integration, you should depend on the secret-service crate directly and utilize its API for collections and items, rather than attempting to implement the Store interface for an SsClient, which is not the standard usage pattern for this library [7][4][8].

secret-service 5.1.0 blocking Store::new tokio block_on

💡 Result:

The secret-service crate provides two distinct APIs: an asynchronous API (the default) and a synchronous API via the secret_service::blocking module [1][2]. If you are encountering issues with blocking or deadlocks when using Store::new or other methods in an async context (such as within a tokio runtime), it is likely because you are mixing the two APIs or using the blocking API inappropriately. 1. Do not use the blocking module in an async context: The documentation explicitly warns that the blocking SecretService implementation should not be called in an async context, as it will block the current thread and potentially cause the executor (like tokio) to stall [1][3]. 2. Use the async API instead: If your application is already running inside an async runtime like tokio, you should use the standard, asynchronous SecretService API (e.g., SecretService::connect(...).await) rather than the blocking one [4][2]. 3. Avoid manually blocking inside async code: If you are forced to use a blocking library inside an async environment, you should generally offload those calls to a dedicated thread (e.g., using tokio::task::spawn_blocking) to avoid stalling the async executor [5]. However, for the secret-service crate, the preferred solution is to simply use the built-in async methods which are designed to integrate natively with runtimes like tokio [4][2]. If you are using a third-party crate like dbus-secret-service-keyring-store or keyring, ensure you are not inadvertently invoking blocking operations on the main async thread, as this is a common cause of deadlocks [5]. Verify your dependencies to see if they expose both sync and async variants and ensure you are using the one compatible with your runtime [1].

💡 Result:

The repository open-source-cooperative/zbus-secret-service-keyring-store is a Rust crate that implements a credential store for the keyring ecosystem, using the Secret Service API via the zbus-secret-service crate [1][2]. The SecretService::connect method is the standard entry point provided by the secret-service library (which zbus-secret-service-keyring-store depends upon) to initialize a connection to the Linux Secret Service (such as GNOME Keyring or KWallet) [3][4]. Key characteristics regarding SecretService::connect in this ecosystem: 1. Asynchronous Nature: Following the zbus crate, the SecretService interface is asynchronous by default [3]. The standard connection method, SecretService::connect(EncryptionType), is an async fn [3][5]. 2. Functionality: Calling SecretService::connect initializes a DBus connection to the session bus and negotiates an encryption session (e.g., using EncryptionType::Plain or EncryptionType::Dh) [3][4][5]. 3. Features: Users must enable specific features in the zbus-secret-service-keyring-store (and its underlying dependencies) to select the desired asynchronous runtime and cryptographic utilities (e.g., crypto-rust or crypto-openssl) [1][2]. 4. Alternatives: If you require a blocking (synchronous) interface, the open-source-cooperative organization also maintains dbus-secret-service-keyring-store, which provides a synchronous alternative that does not require an async runtime [6][2][7]. To use these libraries, you typically depend on keyring-core along with the specific store implementation [6]. You can find usage examples in the repository's examples directory [8].

github open-source-cooperative zbus-secret-service-keyring-store "block_on"

💡 Result:

The zbus-secret-service-keyring-store crate is a Rust library that provides a credential store for the keyring ecosystem, interfacing with the Linux Secret Service via zbus [1][2]. When working with this crate, developers often encounter challenges related to the block_on function and asynchronous execution. Because the Secret Service API is natively asynchronous (built on zbus), using it in synchronous contexts or mixing it with existing async runtimes can lead to complications [3][4]. Key technical considerations regarding block_on and this crate include: 1. Nested Runtime Panics: A common issue occurs when a synchronous call to the keyring store is made from within an existing asynchronous runtime (such as Tokio). If the library internally uses block_on to drive its D-Bus communication, attempting to "block" the thread inside a running async task can trigger a "Cannot start a runtime from within a runtime" panic [3]. 2. Recommended Patterns: To avoid these panics, developers are advised to run operations that interact with the Secret Service keyring using tokio::task::spawn_blocking [5][3]. This offloads the blocking calls to a dedicated thread pool managed by the runtime, preventing the main async worker threads from stalling [5][4]. 3. Runtime Selection: The crate relies on features that dictate which async runtime and cryptographic utilities are used [2]. When integrating it, you must ensure that your application's chosen runtime (e.g., Tokio) is compatible with how the store initiates its D-Bus connections [2][6]. 4. Alternative/Future Evolution: While zbus-secret-service-keyring-store continues to be used, newer crates like oo7 also provide Rust APIs for Unix secrets, which are designed with modern async/await ergonomics and may offer better integration for applications running inside or outside of sandboxes like Flatpak [7][8]. In summary, if you are experiencing issues with block_on when using this store, you should ensure that all calls to the keyring are executed via spawn_blocking to safely transition between your async environment and the store's underlying blocking or async D-Bus operations [3][4].

zbus-secret-service-keyring-store 1.0.1 docs source store.rs SecretService connect async

💡 Result:

The zbus-secret-service-keyring-store crate (version 1.0.1) provides a credential store implementation for the keyring ecosystem that utilizes the Secret Service API [1][2][3]. This crate is designed to be used as a backend for credential storage and does not expose the Secret Service connection logic directly; instead, it delegates interaction to the underlying secret-service crate [1][2]. To interact with the Secret Service asynchronously as referenced in your query (e.g., using SecretService::connect), you should use the secret-service crate directly [4][5][6]. The zbus-secret-service-keyring-store documentation notes that its features are passed through to the secret-service crate [2][3]. For asynchronous Secret Service connections, the standard approach using the secret-service crate is as follows: 1. Dependencies: Ensure your Cargo.toml includes the secret-service crate with a suitable asynchronous runtime feature (e.g., rt-tokio-crypto-rust or rt-async-std-crypto-rust) [5][6]. 2. Connection: The SecretService struct provides an asynchronous connect method [4][5]. Example (Async Usage): use secret_service::{SecretService, EncryptionType}; #[tokio::main] async fn main -> Result<, Box> { // Initialize secret service (dbus connection and encryption session) let ss = SecretService::connect(EncryptionType::Dh).await?; // Perform operations... Ok() } The SecretService::connect method handles initializing the D-Bus connection and negotiating an encryption session [4][5]. If you are not using an asynchronous runtime, the secret-service crate also provides a blocking module [4][7][8].

Move keyring operations off Tokio workers and preserve their errors.

The Linux backend uses secret_service::blocking::SecretService. Store::new(), reads, and writes perform blocking D-Bus operations from Tokio-managed paths. Use tokio::task::spawn_blocking for the complete operation, or use an async API.

Preserve Store::new() errors instead of returning only “no OS keyring is reachable”. Also avoid converting all get_password() errors into None; report lookup failures such as locked collections or permission errors.

apple-native-keyring-store crate Store type path keychain module docs.rs

💡 Result:

The apple-native-keyring-store crate provides access to Apple's native secure credential stores, specifically through two distinct modules: keychain and protected [1][2]. The keychain module, located at apple_native_keyring_store::keychain, is designed for use on macOS to access the legacy keychain store [3][1]. This module is typically recommended for command-line applications or apps that are not code-signed by a provisioning profile [4][5]. Within this module, the Store type (apple_native_keyring_store::keychain::Store) represents the store used for Mac keychain credentials [6][3]. By default, this store utilizes the User (or login) keychain, though the keychain configuration can be specified during instantiation to select others, such as Common or System [3]. In contrast, the protected module (apple_native_keyring_store::protected) is used to access the Apple Protected Data store, which requires macOS 10.15 or later [1][2] and is the required store for iOS applications [5]. This module supports features such as iCloud synchronization and biometric authentication but necessitates that the application be code-signed by a provisioning profile [5]. Users must enable the corresponding features (keychain or protected) in their build configuration to access these modules [4][5]. Developers are encouraged to consult the instantiation example provided within the crate for specific implementation guidance [4][7].

zbus-secret-service-keyring-store 1.0.1 Store type path docs.rs

💡 Result:

In the context of the zbus-secret-service-keyring-store crate (version 1.0.1), the "path" refers to a unique identifier for an item within the Secret Service [1]. According to the official documentation, while every item in the Secret Service has a unique path, this path is not visible to client applications and cannot be used to search for or retrieve an item [1]. Instead, client applications interact with the Store using attributes (key-value pairs) [1]. The implementation controls the following attributes for items: - service: Taken from the service parameter in the entry creation call [2][1]. - username: Taken from the user parameter in the entry creation call [2][1]. - target: Optionally taken from the target modifier in the entry creation call [2][1]. When searching for items, the store uses the service and username attributes [1]. If a target modifier was specified during the entry's creation, the target attribute is also included in the search criteria to distinguish items with the same service and username [2][1]. The Store itself is defined as a struct in the zbus_secret_service_keyring_store::store module [3][1]. It is instantiated for use with the keyring-core crate to provide a credential store backed by the Secret Service [4][5][6].

windows-native-keyring-store 1.1.0 Store type path docs.rs

💡 Result:

The windows-native-keyring-store crate, version 1.1.0, provides a Rust library for interacting with the Windows Credential Manager as a backend for the keyring ecosystem [1][2]. In this crate, the Store struct (located at windows_native_keyring_store::store::Store) serves as the primary implementation for managing Windows native credentials [3][4]. Key details regarding the Store type include: 1. Functionality: It acts as a credential store for the keyring crate by mapping entries to generic credentials in the Windows Credential Manager [5][6]. 2. Configuration: - The Store can be instantiated using its new method, which sets default configuration values (empty prefix and suffix, and '.' as the divider) [3]. - Alternatively, a custom-configured store can be created using new_with_configuration, which accepts a HashMap for parameters like prefix, divider, and suffix [3]. 3. Features: Version 1.1.0 introduced the ability to make the search feature (which requires the regex crate) optional to reduce binary size [7]. For complete documentation and usage examples, refer to the official documentation on docs.rs [1][5].

Restrict the Apple keychain backend to macOS. The keychain module is not compiled on iOS, so this block fails to compile there. Use protected::Store for iOS or remove target_os = "ios" from this condition.

check_statement misses scripting inside brackets, and the tests do not cover it. One root cause: the : check only matches at a statement start or after a space, and path_words stops scanning at the first key=value token, so /ip address print [:execute script="/system reboot"] is accepted.

Do not paint the DEMO badge with the unverified style.

Line 44 renders " [DEMO] " with t.host_key_unverified. In every theme that style is a red background reserved for a failed host-key check. Demo mode is not an insecure session; the comment above states there is no SSH session to verify at all. The red badge reads as a security warning where none applies.

Use a neutral style such as t.muted_text or t.accent.

🎨 Proposed fix
     let (key_badge, key_style) = if app.client.config.demo_mode {
-        (" [DEMO] ", t.host_key_unverified)
+        (" [DEMO] ", t.muted_text)
     } else if app.host_key_verified {

Note also that the three status spans plus the host name total roughly 70 columns. The right chunk is Constraint::Min(30), so on an 80-column terminal this line truncates and [READ-ONLY] is the first element lost. Consider shortening the badge text to [KEY: OK] and [KEY: UNVERIFIED].

Report migration results only after the config write succeeds.

Each loop iteration prints ✅ {host} -> keyring entry '{account}' immediately after keyring_set succeeds, but clear_file_password only mutates memory. The single commit point is app_config.save()? at Line 189. If that write fails, ? propagates and the user has already seen ✅ lines for hosts whose obfuscated passwords are still in config.json. The user then believes the file-recoverable copy is gone when it is not.

Collect the migrated names, save, and print the per-host results after the save succeeds. On a save error, state that the keyring entries exist but config.json was not updated.

Also consider returning an error rather than Ok(()) on the two "keyring unavailable" paths at Lines 151-164. As written, mikrotui host migrate exits with status 0 when nothing was migrated, so a script cannot detect the failure.
