P3: This duplicates the shared artifact-reference rules, so future digest or reference-format changes can make DirectDeliverer resolve a different source than the registry stores. Extract or reuse one shared reference helper instead of maintaining this second implementation.

Intentional for now — the description flags this as an open question for reviewers: keep inline, or export store.sourceIdentifier for cross-package reuse. Happy to extract a shared helper if that's the preferred shape.

🧩 Analysis chain

🌐 Web query:

For github.com/google/go-containerregistry v0.21.7, determine from official documentation or source whether remote.WithAuth(authn.FromConfig(...)) sends registry credentials when the reference uses name.Insecure. Also determine how authenticated redirects handle credentials.

💡 Result:

For github.com/google/go-containerregistry v0.21.7, the behavior regarding credentials with insecure references and authenticated redirects is as follows: 1. Credential Handling with name.Insecure: The name.Insecure option affects whether the library allows communication over plain HTTP instead of HTTPS [1]. It does not inherently disable the sending of credentials. If you provide an authenticator (e.g., via remote.WithAuth(authn.FromConfig(...))), the library will still attempt to use those credentials to authenticate with the registry, even if the connection is insecure (HTTP) [2][3]. Because plain HTTP lacks encryption, sending credentials in this manner exposes them to potential interception. 2. Authenticated Redirects: The library has specific protections to prevent the leakage of credentials during redirects [4]: - Credential Protection: To prevent credentials from leaking, the library maintains a matchesHost guard [5]. When the http.Client follows a redirect to a different host, the library will not forward the original Authorization header to the new host [4][5]. - Bearer Token Exchange: If a registry redirects a request to a new host (or requires a new bearer token challenge on a different host), the library initiates a new, separate token exchange for the redirected host [4]. - Anonymous Authentication for Redirects: When performing this new token exchange against the redirected host's realm, the library uses authn.Anonymous rather than the original registry's credentials [4]. This ensures the original credentials never leave their intended host [4]. - Security Validations: The library validates realm URLs obtained from WWW-Authenticate headers to prevent SSRF and malicious redirects [6][4]. Recent versions include checks to restrict redirect hops to prevent bypassing these security validations [6].

Reject credentialed insecure registry requests.

When d.useUnsecure is true and source credentials are configured, name.Insecure permits HTTP while remote.WithAuth(auth) sends those credentials. An on-path attacker can capture them. Fail before delivery or require TLS before attaching remote.WithAuth(auth).

setup around opts and d.useUnsecure to reject credentialed requests when
insecure transport is enabled, before constructing or invoking the remote
delivery operation; alternatively require TLS before attaching
remote.WithAuth(auth), while preserving unauthenticated insecure delivery.

P3: The digest-map skip check runs before the new tagRef write, so a tarball delivered before this change with a matching digest is never rewritten and retains its old digest-labeled RepoTags. The fix therefore only applies to newly written tarballs. If this migration matters, bump the recorded value (or invalidate the digest map) so existing up-to-date tarballs get re-labeled once.
