For library maintainers touching anything in better-data's security perimeter — Secret, EncryptionEngine, #[Sensitive], #[Encrypted], RequestSource guards, password handling. Mistakes in this perimeter aren't bugs that show up in tests; they're regressions that ship plaintext to disk or leak credentials in logs.
"I'll add a debug-mode that logs the encrypted value's plaintext when developer mode is on — it's only for development."
Don't. The security-feature-with-bypass is the worst outcome — caller assumes redaction is universal, log infrastructure picks up the "debug" path in production by accident, plaintext lands in CloudWatch / Sentry / wp-debug.log forever. The discipline is no-bypass: Secret's __toString returns '***' (src/Secret.php:84-87), jsonSerialize returns '***' (src/Secret.php:89-92), __debugInfo (controls var_dump / print_r) returns ['value' => '***'] (src/Secret.php:99-103), __serialize THROWS SecretSerializationException (src/Secret.php:105-109).
The throwing __serialize is deliberate — a caller serialized a Secret has already made a security-relevant mistake. Relaxing it to redact instead would silently let the bug ship. The exception forces them to either ->reveal() explicitly (audit point) or rethink the flow.
Other AI-prone misconceptions:
EncryptionEngine deliberately re-reads on every call (src/Encryption/EncryptionEngine.php:53-54) so key rotation via BETTER_DATA_ENCRYPTION_KEY_PREVIOUS actually works. A process-long cache defeats rotation.== and === are fine for comparing two Secrets; the constant-time stuff is paranoia." Wrong — string compare is timing-dependent and leaks length / first-byte equality through repeated probing. Secret::equals uses hash_equals (src/Secret.php:78-82). Always.null instead of the expected secret may treat it as "user never set a key" and proceed. EncryptionEngine::decrypt throws DecryptionFailedException (src/Encryption/EncryptionEngine.php:109,130).Trigger when ANY of the following is true:

wp_options.")The goal: a future contributor reads the comment and knows whether their proposed change preserves or breaks the model.
Every degradation must throw. The catalog:
| Condition | Throws |
|---|---|
| Encryption key constant not defined | RuntimeException |
decrypt called on garbage | DecryptionFailedException |
decrypt called with tampered ciphertext (GCM auth tag mismatch) | DecryptionFailedException |
Secret __serialize invoked | SecretSerializationException |
MetaKeyRegistry::register collision (one key, two DTOs) | RuntimeException |
RequestSource::noCollision finds an unexpected route-owned field in the body | RequestParamCollisionException |
strict mode + unknown DTO field in incoming data | UnknownFieldException |
If you add a security feature, add a corresponding throw. Don't ship a flag that converts the throw into a warning.
Every encrypt has a matching decrypt, every redact has a matching reveal. Lookup table:
| Write side | Read side |
|---|---|
SinkProjection::prepareValue encrypts when #[Encrypted] | AttributeDrivenHydrator decrypts when #[Encrypted] |
Presenter::toArray redacts Secret / #[Sensitive] | Explicit $secret->reveal() inside compute() closure |
OptionSink::projectForStorage encrypts | OptionSource decrypts |
__serialize throws | __unserialize throws — symmetric blockage |
If you add an encrypt path, you MUST add the matching decrypt path in the same PR. The reverse is also true. Asymmetry is a security regression because it preserves DATA but loses CONFIDENTIALITY.
The pattern at src/Encryption/EncryptionEngine.php:53-54 is:
private const CONST_PRIMARY = 'BETTER_DATA_ENCRYPTION_KEY';
private const CONST_PREVIOUS = 'BETTER_DATA_ENCRYPTION_KEY_PREVIOUS';
Each encrypt / decrypt call reads the constant fresh. NO static property holds the resolved key. Reason: rotation. The runbook is:
BETTER_DATA_ENCRYPTION_KEY with the new key.BETTER_DATA_ENCRYPTION_KEY_PREVIOUS with the old key.BETTER_DATA_ENCRYPTION_KEY_PREVIOUS.If you cached the key in a static, step 1 doesn't take effect until the PHP process restarts — which can be hours after the constant changes. Don't cache.
Any string comparison involving secret material:
// WRONG — timing oracle
if ($candidate === $stored) { /* ... */ }
// RIGHT
if (\hash_equals($stored, $candidate)) { /* ... */ }
Secret::equals is the canonical example (src/Secret.php:78-82). For password verification, use password_verify (which is constant-time by design).
Three probes minimum:
public function test_tampering_throws(): void
{
$ciphertext = EncryptionEngine::encrypt('hello');
// Flip one byte after the bd:v1: prefix
$tampered = substr($ciphertext, 0, 8) . 'X' . substr($ciphertext, 9);
$this->expectException(DecryptionFailedException::class);
EncryptionEngine::decrypt($tampered, 'field');
}
public function test_missing_key_throws(): void
{
// ensure the constant is undefined for this test
$this->expectException(RuntimeException::class);
EncryptionEngine::encrypt('hello');
}
public function test_secret_does_not_leak_via_dump_or_json_or_serialize(): void
{
$secret = new Secret('sk_live_supersecret');
$this->assertSame('***', (string) $secret);
$this->assertSame('"***"', \json_encode($secret));
$this->assertStringNotContainsString('sk_live', \print_r($secret, true));
$this->assertStringNotContainsString('sk_live', \var_export($secret, true));
$this->expectException(SecretSerializationException::class);
\serialize($secret);
}
Add a leak probe for any new property / class that wraps secret material. The probe should print_r / var_dump / json_encode / serialize and assert the raw value isn't present.
The companion plugin's stress suite covers live-WP behavior:
wp_options round-trips: option row contains ciphertext, hydrated DTO contains a Secret, reveal returns the original.Secret shows '***' (consumer never sees plaintext over the wire).wp_options row inspection (raw SELECT) returns ciphertext, not plaintext.wp better-data stress --filter Secret

# better-data: Security-sensitive changes
For library maintainers touching anything in better-data's security perimeter — `Secret`, `EncryptionEngine`, `#[Sensitive]`, `#[Encrypted]`, `RequestSource` guards, password handling. Mistakes in this perimeter aren't bugs that show up in tests; they're regressions that ship plaintext to disk or leak credentials in logs.
## Misconception this skill corrects
> "I'll add a debug-mode that logs the encrypted value's plaintext when developer mode is on — it's only for development."
Don't. The security-feature-with-bypass is the worst outcome — caller assumes redaction is universal, log infrastructure picks up the "debug" path in production by accident, plaintext lands in CloudWatch / Sentry / wp-debug.log forever. The discipline is no-bypass: `Secret`'s `__toString` returns `'***'` ([src/Secret.php:84-87](Secret.php)), `jsonSerialize` returns `'***'` ([src/Secret.php:89-92](Secret.php)), `__debugInfo` (controls `var_dump` / `print_r`) returns `['value' => '***']` ([src/Secret.php:99-103](Secret.php)), `__serialize` THROWS `SecretSerializationException` ([src/Secret.php:105-109](Secret.php)).
The throwing `__serialize` is deliberate — a caller serialized a `Secret` has already made a security-relevant mistake. Relaxing it to redact instead would silently let the bug ship. The exception forces them to either `->reveal()` explicitly (audit point) or rethink the flow.
Other AI-prone misconceptions:
- "I'll cache the encryption key in a static property to avoid re-reading the constant on every call." Wrong — `EncryptionEngine` deliberately re-reads on every call ([src/Encryption/EncryptionEngine.php:53-54](EncryptionEngine.php)) so key rotation via `BETTER_DATA_ENCRYPTION_KEY_PREVIOUS` actually works. A process-long cache defeats rotation.
- "`==` and `===` are fine for comparing two `Secret`s; the constant-time stuff is paranoia." Wrong — string compare is timing-dependent and leaks length / first-byte equality through repeated probing. `Secret::equals` uses `hash_equals` ([src/Secret.php:78-82](Secret.php)). Always.
- "If decryption fails, return null and the caller falls back to the default." Wrong — silent failure on decrypt is worse than an exception. A caller that gets `null` instead of the expected secret may treat it as "user never set a key" and proceed. `EncryptionEngine::decrypt` throws `DecryptionFailedException` ([src/Encryption/EncryptionEngine.php:109,130](EncryptionEngine.php)).
## When to use this skill
Trigger when ANY of the following is true:
- The diff touches `src/Secret.php`, `src/Encryption/EncryptionEngine.php`, `src/Attribute/Encrypted.php`, `src/Attribute/Sensitive.php`.
- The diff touches `MetaKeyRegistry::register`, route-owned-field handling, or `RequestSource` guards.
- New code introduces a `Secret` typed property OR `#[Encrypted]` attribute.
- New code calls `EncryptionEngine::encrypt` / `decrypt` / `looksEncrypted`.
- New code introduces password handling (`user_pass`, hash storage, comparison).
- Reviewing a PR that adds a "debug mode" / "verbose log" / "for development" flag near sensitive material.
## Workflow
### 1. Threat model first (in the PR description or a code comment)
Write down explicitly:
- **What is this change preventing?** (e.g. "API tokens stored as plaintext in `wp_options`.")
- **What remains un-prevented?** (e.g. "Plaintext key in PHP memory between hydration and use; an attacker with PHP memory access can still read it.")
- **What's the threat model?** (e.g. "Database compromise, log file exposure. NOT defending against in-memory attackers — that requires HSM-grade key management.")
The goal: a future contributor reads the comment and knows whether their proposed change preserves or breaks the model.
### 2. Loud over silent
Every degradation must throw. The catalog:
| Condition | Throws |
|---|---|
| Encryption key constant not defined | `RuntimeException` |
| `decrypt` called on garbage | `DecryptionFailedException` |
| `decrypt` called with tampered ciphertext (GCM auth tag mismatch) | `DecryptionFailedException` |
| Secret `__serialize` invoked | `SecretSerializationException` |
| `MetaKeyRegistry::register` collision (one key, two DTOs) | `RuntimeException` |
| `RequestSource::noCollision` finds an unexpected route-owned field in the body | `RequestParamCollisionException` |
| `strict` mode + unknown DTO field in incoming data | `UnknownFieldException` |
If you add a security feature, add a corresponding throw. Don't ship a flag that converts the throw into a warning.
### 3. Symmetric end-to-end
Every encrypt has a matching decrypt, every redact has a matching reveal. Lookup table:
| Write side | Read side |
|---|---|
| `SinkProjection::prepareValue` encrypts when `#[Encrypted]` | `AttributeDrivenHydrator` decrypts when `#[Encrypted]` |
| `Presenter::toArray` redacts `Secret` / `#[Sensitive]` | Explicit `$secret->reveal()` inside `compute()` closure |
| `OptionSink::projectForStorage` encrypts | `OptionSource` decrypts |
| `__serialize` throws | `__unserialize` throws — symmetric blockage |
If you add an encrypt path, you MUST add the matching decrypt path in the same PR. The reverse is also true. Asymmetry is a security regression because it preserves DATA but loses CONFIDENTIALITY.
### 4. Never cache the raw key
The pattern at [src/Encryption/EncryptionEngine.php:53-54](EncryptionEngine.php) is:
```php
private const CONST_PRIMARY = 'BETTER_DATA_ENCRYPTION_KEY';
private const CONST_PREVIOUS = 'BETTER_DATA_ENCRYPTION_KEY_PREVIOUS';
```
Each `encrypt` / `decrypt` call reads the constant fresh. NO static property holds the resolved key. Reason: rotation. The runbook is:
1. Define `BETTER_DATA_ENCRYPTION_KEY` with the new key.
2. Define `BETTER_DATA_ENCRYPTION_KEY_PREVIOUS` with the old key.
3. Wait for the rotation period (lazy migration: every read decrypts under the old key, every write re-encrypts under the new).
4. Eventually undefine `BETTER_DATA_ENCRYPTION_KEY_PREVIOUS`.
If you cached the key in a static, step 1 doesn't take effect until the PHP process restarts — which can be hours after the constant changes. Don't cache.
### 5. Constant-time comparison
Any string comparison involving secret material:
```php
// WRONG — timing oracle
if ($candidate === $stored) { /* ... */ }
// RIGHT
if (\hash_equals($stored, $candidate)) { /* ... */ }
```
`Secret::equals` is the canonical example ([src/Secret.php:78-82](Secret.php)). For password verification, use `password_verify` (which is constant-time by design).
### 6. Unit-test contract for security changes
Three probes minimum:
```php
public function test_tampering_throws(): void
{
$ciphertext = EncryptionEngine::encrypt('hello');
// Flip one byte after the bd:v1: prefix
$tampered = substr($ciphertext, 0, 8) . 'X' . substr($ciphertext, 9);
$this->expectException(DecryptionFailedException::class);
EncryptionEngine::decrypt($tampered, 'field');
}
public function test_missing_key_throws(): void
{
// ensure the constant is undefined for this test
$this->expectException(RuntimeException::class);
EncryptionEngine::encrypt('hello');
}
public function test_secret_does_not_leak_via_dump_or_json_or_serialize(): void
{
$secret = new Secret('sk_live_supersecret');
$this->assertSame('***', (string) $secret);
$this->assertSame('"***"', \json_encode($secret));
$this->assertStringNotContainsString('sk_live', \print_r($secret, true));
$this->assertStringNotContainsString('sk_live', \var_export($secret, true));
$this->expectException(SecretSerializationException::class);
\serialize($secret);
}
```
Add a leak probe for any new property / class that wraps secret material. The probe should `print_r` / `var_dump` / `json_encode` / `serialize` and assert the raw value isn't present.
### 7. Stress scenario for the WP boundary
The companion plugin's stress suite covers live-WP behavior:
- DTO hydrated from `wp_options` round-trips: option row contains ciphertext, hydrated DTO contains a `Secret`, reveal returns the original.
- REST response for a DTO with `Secret` shows `'***'` (consumer never sees plaintext over the wire).
- `wp_options` row inspection (raw `SELECT`) returns ciphertext, not plaintext.
```bash
wp better-data stress --filter Secret
```
A `FAIL` finding here blocks the change. A `NOTE` is acceptable but documented.
### 8. Run the full check
```bash
vendor/bin/phpunit
vendor/bin/phpstan analyse --memory-limit=1G
vendor/bin/php-cs-fixer fix
wp better-data stress
```
## Critical rules
- **Loud over silent.** Every security degradation throws. No "soft fail with warning", no "log and return null".
- **Symmetric end-to-end.** Encrypt requires decrypt. Redact requires explicit reveal. New write path requires new read path.
- **Never cache the encryption key.** `EncryptionEngine` re-reads the constant per call; key rotation depends on it.
- **`hash_equals` for any comparison involving secret material.** `==` and `===` are timing oracles.
- **`Secret::__serialize` throws — do not relax to redact.** The exception forces explicit `->reveal()` (audit point) or rethink.
- **No "debug mode" that logs plaintext.** Even conditionally. The flag inevitably runs in production.
- **Threat model in the PR description or a code comment.** Future contributors need to know what's protected and what isn't.
- **Tamper probe + leak probe** in unit tests for any change touching `Secret` / `EncryptionEngine`.
- **`MetaKeyRegistry::register` collisions throw.** Two DTOs claiming the same `meta_key` is a programming error, not a coexistence-via-overwrite scenario.
- **`RequestSource` strict mode whitelist throws on unknown fields.** Don't relax to "ignore unknown" — the strict mode IS the security boundary.
- **Constant-time comparison for password equality.** Use `password_verify` for hashes; `hash_equals` for raw secret comparison.
## Common mistakes
```php
// WRONG — debug-mode plaintext logging
public function decrypt(string $ciphertext, string $field): string
{
$plaintext = self::actualDecrypt($ciphertext);
if (\defined('BETTER_DATA_DEBUG') && BETTER_DATA_DEBUG) {
\error_log("Decrypted {$field}: {$plaintext}"); // INSECURE — plaintext to log
}
return $plaintext;
}
// RIGHT — no plaintext-leaking branches at all
// WRONG — silent failure on decrypt
public function decrypt(string $ciphertext, string $field): ?string
{
try {
return self::actualDecrypt($ciphertext);
} catch (\Throwable) {
return null; // BUG — caller can't tell garbage data from missing data
}
}
// RIGHT — let it throw
public function decrypt(string $ciphertext, string $field): string
