Consistency: Harden input validation, query preparation, and caching

[timse201]

Harden input validation, query preparation, and caching in Consistency route.

• Ensure search and set parameters are valid strings before use.
• Add checks to verify that the locale and project exist before accessing their properties.
• Validate locales against GP_Locales::exists() and filter out translation sets with two or more slashes.
• Bump the translation sets cache key to translation-sets-v2.
• Refactor query() to use a single, standard $wpdb->prepare() call.
• Separate translation, context, and project path comparisons in _sort_callback() to prevent false matches and string casting warnings.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved search handling for invalid or unrecognized locales, projects, and translation sets.
  • Project filters include the selected project and its descendants when available; unresolved filters no longer restrict results.
  • Search results are ordered consistently by translation, context, and project path.
  • Translation-set listings include active projects and recognized locales.
  • Search inputs and displayed translation values are handled more reliably.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The consistency route validates search, translation-set, and project values. It filters translation sets by active projects and known locales. Its parameterized query applies project-path filters when available and returns results sorted by translation, context, then project path.

Changes

Consistency Search

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Validate search inputs and translation sets wordpress.org/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wporg-gp-routes/inc/routes/class-consistency.php	The route accepts string search and set values, sanitizes and validates the set, and checks locale availability. Translation sets come from active projects and exclude unknown locales and keys with more than one slash.
Build and order search results wordpress.org/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wporg-gp-routes/inc/routes/class-consistency.php	The query uses prepared parameters and adds project-path filtering only when the project resolves to a path. It matches that path and descendants, retains the active-project, current-translation, active-original, and 500-row constraints, and sorts results by translation, context, then project path.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

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

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c54a8

The consistency-search changes have no established unresolved regression, including for searches containing "0"; the PR appears mergeable.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to c54a8

The public search becomes more restrictive in normal operation, and no new security exposure was established. Previously cached set lists can delay the new filtering until they expire, so the rollout behavior is not fully assured.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The affected exposure is the existing public consistency-search route and its translation read query, not a newly registered endpoint or a demonstrated new privilege boundary.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• inferred — A legacy cached list could keep an otherwise excluded set selectable during rollout, but that selection was already possible before this PR. The downstream query still restricts returned records to active projects and active/current translations and originals.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — If the new set filter must take effect immediately on deployment, invalidate or version the shared set-list cache key rather than relying on expiry.

Thanks! Some of these are real fixes:

• The is_string guards (an array search/project fatals in trunk).
• The GP_Locales::by_slug() null guard.
• explode( …, 2 ).
• The single prepare() call.
• Sorting by translation, then context, then path (concatenating the two mis-sorted).

Needs changing

1. get_translation_sets(): please drop the new JOIN gp_projects … p.active = 1. The query already scans and groups the whole gp_translation_sets table, which is very large on translate.wordpress.org. The join adds a lookup per row, and it only changes the output if a locale/slug pair exists only in inactive projects. query() already filters inactive projects out of the results.
2. Stale cache. The template removes the */formal/default entries from $sets_to_hide and relies on the new slash-count filter, but the translation-sets cache key is unchanged (24h TTL). Until it expires, cached 3-part entries come back in the dropdown. Either bump the cache key (e.g. translation-sets-v2) or leave the template list alone.
3. Scope. A few changes don't do anything, so please drop them:
   • MIN(name): wpdb already removes ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY from the SQL modes, so the old query didn't fail on MySQL or MariaDB.
   • array_map( 'strval' ): array_count_values() turns numeric strings back into int keys.
   • p.path = %s OR …: the root project has no originals, so including it changes nothing.

Optional

• The @return object on the query method should be @return array.
• sanitize_text_field() on set isn't needed, since the value is checked against the $sets allow-list afterwards.
