Greptile SummaryThe PR requires HTTPS release sources and applies HTTPS-only, downgrade-rejecting clients to the blocking updater and Windows shim archive download.
Confidence Score: 5/5The PR appears safe to merge. No blocking failure remains; the current code addresses each previously reported insecure initial URL or redirect path. Important Files Changed

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification did not complete.Use one HTTPS-only transport policy for every self-update request.
The current changes validate the configured API URL and protect one blocking client. They do not prove HTTPS enforcement for initial asset URLs, version lookup, or the Windows shim download.

Summary
Follow-up to the security review on #12735.
Testing
mise run test:unit -- cli::versionmise run lintmise exec -- cargo check --no-default-features --features native-tls,vfox/vendored-luaAI-assisted — Tool: Codex; model: unavailable/unavailable; version: unavailable.
Note
High Risk
Changes authentication and download paths for the running mise binary (self-update and Windows shim refresh); misconfigured mirrors or unusual redirect chains could break updates until fixed.
Overview
Hardens mise self-update so release metadata and binaries cannot be pulled over insecure channels or via redirects that drop TLS.
self_update.api_urlmust be HTTPS —SelfUpdateSource::validate()rejectshttp://before any update or latest-version lookup (invalid config is skipped quietly for version checks). Docs andsettings.tomlnow state this explicitly for mirrors and GitHub Enterprise.Update HTTP clients use
https_onlyand a shared HTTPS→HTTP redirect block (is_https_downgradeinhttp.rs). The blockingself_updatecrate client and the Windows mise-shim download path get this policy; shim downloads now hit the GitHub API asset URL with auth headers instead of the generic downloader and browser download URL.Remote version fetch (
ClientKind::Fetch) applies the same redirect rule so version/tag enumeration cannot be redirected to plain HTTP.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 8a96f41. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
