The entire discussion is here k8sstormcenter#98 , it has overlap with your open storage PR on preserving the sensitive files themselves from Collaps.
This one is just fixing that the cel itself it currently not working as suggested in the current rules .

How this was found

Testing our usual IRL suspects for false positives while tightening their CPs/SBOBs with the rule-grammar.

The Opens.All branch of both helpers scanned Opens.Values only. Volatile paths
are always stored as Patterns, so a correctly learned ContainerProfile records
the kubelet atomic-writer ServiceAccount token open as

  /run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/⋯/token

with the timestamped directory collapsed and the /token leaf preserved. R0006
gates on !cp.was_path_opened_with_suffix(containerId, '/token'), the helper
answered false for that profile, and the rule fired on every token read for the
life of the workload. R0008 has the same shape via /proc/⋯/environ.

Fixes #98.

Why scanning Patterns is safe, not a widening:

A pattern's trailing segments after the last collapse token are literal. If they
end with the queried suffix then every concrete path the pattern stands for ends
with it too, so HasSuffix answers a real question. A pattern whose leaf is itself
a wildcard ("/var/log/pods/⋯") returns false — the same answer as skipping it —
so this is never worse than the previous behaviour. The prefix side is the
mirror image: the segments before the first collapse token are literal.

The rationale in the removed comment did not support the code it justified. It
warned that HasSuffix on a pattern "returns false and produces a false negative",
then avoided that by skipping Patterns — which returns false as well. The blanket
skip therefore guaranteed the false negative it was meant to prevent, and did so
for concrete-leaf patterns too, where HasSuffix would have been correct.

This also makes the helper self-consistent. With projection active,
projection_apply.go builds SuffixHits/PrefixHits with HasSuffix/HasPrefix over
every raw entry INCLUDING dynamic ones, so the projected branch already answered
true for "⋯/token". Only the Opens.All branch disagreed. Pinned by
TestSuffix_AllBranchAgreesWithProjectedBranch.

Tests:

  open_atomicwriter_test.go — new. Four cases fail on unmodified main
  (SA-token suffix, procfs environ suffix, concrete-head prefix, and the
  two-branch agreement check) and pass after. Three guard cases
  (wildcard-leaf suffix, unrelated-head prefix, concrete Values) pass both
  before and after, so the fix is shown not to widen matching.

  open_test.go — TestWasPathOpenedWithSuffix_PatternsNotScanned and
  TestWasPathOpenedWithPrefix_PatternsNotScanned pinned the old contract and
  are replaced by _ConcreteLeafPatternMatches / _ConcreteHeadPatternMatches.
  These keep the wildcard-leaf and past-the-collapse-token cases asserting
  false, and add the concrete-leaf/head cases asserting true. Issue #98 does
  not mention these tests; they are the reason this is a deliberate contract
  change rather than an oversight, and a reviewer should look here first.

Regression check: ./pkg/rulemanager/cel/libraries/containerprofile/... and
./pkg/objectcache/... all pass, including the pre-existing
TestOpenWithSuffixInProfile / TestOpenWithPrefixInProfile projection tests and
containerprofilecache (2.459s).

Walkthrough

The containerprofile CEL library now checks retained path patterns for suffix and prefix queries. Tests cover concrete matches, wildcard boundaries, concrete values, and consistency with projected profile results.

Container profile pattern matching

Layer / File(s) Summary
Scan patterns for suffix and prefix matches
pkg/rulemanager/cel/libraries/containerprofile/open.go
The Opens.All branches scan both concrete Values and wildcard Patterns for suffix and prefix matches.
Validate pattern matching behavior
pkg/rulemanager/cel/libraries/containerprofile/open_atomicwriter_test.go, pkg/rulemanager/cel/libraries/containerprofile/open_test.go
Tests cover concrete pattern matches, wildcard non-matches, concrete values, atomic-writer paths, and consistency with projected results.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 84a09

The change allows existing path queries to match retained patterns, but collapse-token queries must remain excluded from concrete matching to avoid incorrect rule suppression. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and regression coverage for those cases.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not match a query that includes the collapse token.

is wildcard metadata, not a concrete path segment. For example, strings.HasSuffix("/var/log/⋯/foo.log", "⋯/foo.log") and strings.HasPrefix("/var/⋯/log/foo", "/var/⋯") return true, but the retained pattern does not prove either literal path relation. A CEL rule with either query can incorrectly suppress a rule result.

Verified this against the actual kubescape/storage dynamicpathdetector source (the module the profile patterns come from), not just the PR's stated rationale:

  • WildcardIdentifier ("*") and DynamicIdentifier ("⋯") are always whole path segments — countStarSegments/segAt/compareSegmentsIndex enforce segment-boundary alignment, never partial-segment substitution.
  • Text after the last collapse token in a pattern is therefore genuinely literal and byte-identical to the corresponding segment(s) in every concrete path the pattern matches (confirmed via compareSegmentsIndex's exact-match branch for non-wildcard segments). So strings.HasSuffix/HasPrefix against that trailing/leading literal text is a sound answer, not a widening — matches the PR's core claim exactly.
  • The Opens.All branch was the outlier: http.go's endpoint suffix/prefix helpers and exec.go's pattern matching already scan Patterns, and projection_apply.go already computes SuffixHits/PrefixHits over dynamic entries too. This fix makes open.go consistent with the rest of the codebase, not a novel risk.

Also ran locally on the PR branch:

  • go build ./... — clean
  • go vet ./pkg/rulemanager/cel/libraries/containerprofile/... — clean
  • go test ./pkg/rulemanager/cel/libraries/containerprofile/... ./pkg/objectcache/... -race — all pass, including the new atomic-writer pattern tests
  • gofmt -l — clean

No blockers. Good to merge.
