Aditya Pujara (@a0x1ab) Please take a look at this unresolved executable-resolution issue. The duplicate thread has been removed; please retain the resolved which("kubelogin") result, normalize it with os.path.abspath(), and use that absolute path as argv[0].

Azure/azure-cli#34099 and Azure/azure-cli#34104 implement the same runtime fix; only comments and tests differ. I suggest consolidating into #34099 for its broader test coverage, carrying over useful cases from #34104. Before merging, please also address the executable-resolution feedback: invoke the absolute path returned by which (normalized with os.path.abspath) instead of bare kubelogin, while keeping --kubeconfig path and no cwd override.

Review

Upstream CI passed (52 checks), and the Agent live test passed for head 63ce4617c2d7b65bdaf31d0633bbd077b17c665c. One confirmed security finding remains.

Confirmed code finding

Executable selection (high): src/azure-cli/azure/cli/command_modules/acs/custom.py:2069 still passes the bare kubelogin name as argv[0] after discarding which("kubelogin"). On Windows, CreateProcess can select a current-directory executable before the executable found on PATH. Removing cwd also changes that search directory to the caller's working directory. Save the lookup result, normalize it with os.path.abspath, and pass that absolute executable as argv[0]. This addresses the outstanding human feedback.

Update src/azure-cli/azure/cli/command_modules/acs/tests/latest/test_custom.py to assert the resolved executable path, including a relative PATH result and a Windows current-directory shadowing case. Existing subprocess-mock assertions require the bare name, and the real-executable tests skip Windows, so they do not catch this risk. Rerun the focused AksGetCredentialsTest cases through the approved validation workflow.

Test validation

  • Live test: Passed. Workflow run
  • Regression coverage: For acs: 1 focused test file(s) changed. Scenario coverage is unverified; review the issue's required conditions, test setup, and assertions before approval. No linked issue was found in the PR timeline; inspect the source issue and its required scenario manually.

The source issue #34091 requires conversion of the selected kubeconfig from devicecode to azurecli mode. The changed tests cover relative/absolute/spaced paths, KUBECONFIG selection, stdout bypass, missing converter and subprocess failure; their POSIX subprocess fixture asserts the converted file and unrelated-file preservation. No updated recording or actual Windows executable-selection coverage is included; the live workflow result does not establish that missing Windows scenario.

Risk assessment

65/100 - High - High confidence

  • Evidence: The changed subprocess call uses an unresolved executable name on a credential-handling path; Windows coverage is absent. CI and POSIX conversion coverage reduce uncertainty for the path-selection fix, not the executable-selection issue.
  • Scope: Two files in acs, one production file, with focused tests.
  • Required review: Owning AKS squad and security review before merge; no approval is requested until executable resolution and its regression coverage are addressed.

Handed to maintainers

I could not verify this PR's durable Foundry publication and managed head. I cannot safely apply the feedback at #34104 (comment); leaving this PR for manual follow-up.

Aditya Pujara (@a0x1ab)

Upstream CI succeeded, but the executable-resolution finding remains actionable and regression coverage for the issue's real command scenario is not verified.

Finding

Use the resolved kubelogin executable — custom.py:2068-2073 discards which("kubelogin") and launches the bare name. On Windows, a working-directory executable can shadow the PATH-resolved binary and access the selected kubeconfig. Retain the resolved path, preserve the missing-executable warning, apply os.path.abspath(), and use it as argv[0], matching the existing kubectl handling. Copilot feedback 4053329051 and human feedback 4278531502 describe this same unresolved concern.

Focused verification: test_custom.py:181-190 mocks /bin/kubelogin but asserts bare kubelogin. Correct the assertion, cover absolute and relative lookup results, and add a Windows regression verifying a distinct working-directory executable cannot replace the PATH-resolved executable.

Regression coverage

Changed test: src/azure-cli/azure/cli/command_modules/acs/tests/latest/test_custom.py; no recording files were supplied. The tests mock the service client and most subprocess calls; two execute a POSIX Python stand-in, not genuine kubelogin. The Agent workflow's nine reported outcomes are these focused tests; they do not establish real AKS authentication or Windows executable behavior. The related-test names in the supplied validation summary below likewise do not prove the issue scenario.

Issue #34091 was retrieved safely despite the timeline lookup below finding no linked issue. Before merge, verify its macOS Apple Silicon/AAD-enabled AKS scenario with genuine kubelogin v0.2.19: run az aks get-credentials with a bare relative --file, subscription selection and --overwrite-existing; verify the selected file converts to azurecli, unrelated kubeconfigs remain unchanged, no empty-path error occurs, and a subsequent kubectl request authenticates without a device-code prompt. Verify the missing-executable warning too. After the fix, rerun AksGetCredentialsTest and retain the focused real-service/executable scenario output through the live-test workflow. Coverage remains gap=false, scenario_status=unknown.

Test validation
  • Live test: Passed. 9 of 9 test(s) passed on 6d7db861b10b. Workflow run
  • Related command live tests: Ran test_aks_availability_zones_msi, test_aks_availability_zones, test_aks_nodepool_delete_machines, test_aks_nodepool_scale_down_mode for az aks get-credentials, az aks check-acr, which use the changed shared code.
  • Regression coverage: For acs: 1 focused test file(s) changed. Scenario coverage is unverified; review the issue's required conditions, test setup, and assertions before approval. No linked issue was found in the PR timeline; inspect the source issue and its required scenario manually.
Risk assessment — 16/100 · Low

The Low rating is driven by public CLI behavior.

  • Change scope: 2 changed files, 246 changed lines (+242 / -4), including 1 production file.
  • Affected components: acs
  • Risk drivers: public CLI behavior (+18)
  • Regression evidence: Changed regression tests are included, reducing risk.
  • Confidence: High because changed-line patches were available for every production file.
  • Required review: Owning-squad review is recommended for acs before merge.
