Full audit:

  1. Security: path traversal, injection, panics on untrusted input, race conditions
  2. AX compliance: os.Getenv → core.Env, filepath.* → core.Path*, fmt.Sprintf → core.Sprintf, strings.* → core.*, errors.New/fmt.Errorf → core.E
  3. Missing tests: exported functions without test coverage
  4. Error handling: silently dropped errors, bare panics, missing nil checks
  5. UK English: American spellings in comments/docs
  6. Missing usage-example comments on exported identifiers
  7. Missing SPDX licence headers

Report all findings with severity and file:line. Do NOT fix.

Codex Audit Findings

CRITICAL (1)

  1. TLS verification never set — constructor-time requests run with certs disabled even when insecure=false (unifi/client.go:21, :38)

HIGH (3)

  1. New() replaces SDK http.Client after login, drops cookie jar — auth fails on subsequent requests (client.go:29, :43)
  2. GetNetworks interpolates raw siteName into path — path injection (networks.go:49)
  3. SaveConfig calls Set() but never Commit() — silently never persists to disk (config.go:108, :144)

MEDIUM (1)

  1. ResolveConfig suppresses config-load failures, falls back to defaults with err=nil (config.go:56)

Fix Applied

Commit 7b35b06: fix(unifi): address issue 2 audit findings

  • Fixed TLS verification (set before constructor login)
  • Preserved SDK http.Client cookie jar after login
  • Escaped siteName in GetNetworks path
  • SaveConfig now calls Commit()
  • Added 117+ lines of new tests (client_test.go, config_test.go, networks_test.go)

Verification: FAIL (deeper issue found)

HIGH: SaveConfig fix (Commit) now WORKS — but exposes that config stack writes secrets to world-readable ~/.core/config.yaml. Traced through: config.go:227 → go-io local/client.go:135 → os.WriteFile with default perms.

This is an upstream issue in go-io/config, not go-netops. The fix is correct but the underlying write path needs 0600 permissions for config files containing secrets.
