What changed and why

An npm alias name is read from the lockfile and, since #1450, matched against advisories by its real name while the fix command keeps the alias. A hostile alias such as --registry=http://127.0.0.1:9/ over axios@0.21.1 therefore produces a HIGH finding whose fix command names an option: the plan prints npm install --registry=http://127.0.0.1:9/@npm:axios@0.33.0, and --fix runs it with the package manager treating it as a registry setting (argument injection, CWE-88). Confirmed against npm 10.8.2: --ignore-scripts=false flips a setting a user may have hardened, and --registry=… redirects dependency fetches for that invocation.

This change suppresses such commands rather than quoting them quoting only stops the shell splitting the token, the package manager still receives --registry=… as an option. Since npm never allows a name that starts with a hyphen, nothing valid is lost.

Behaviour:
a target whose package name begins with - produces no command and is reported as not applied. Normal names are unchanged npm install lodash@4.17.21 renders and runs exactly as before.

Tests:
unit coverage for all four package managers and both builders, and an alias case reproducing the live route: a plan is produced, findSuggestedCommandForFinding returns null, --fix spawns nothing, appliedFixCount is 0 and suppressedCount is 1.

Closes #1492

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Package names beginning with a dash are skipped instead of being used to build or run fix commands.
    • Fix summaries and scan results now report these skipped items separately and include them in the total not automatically applied.
    • Only targets with runnable commands are included in fix execution and progress reporting.

Fix planning and execution now reject package operands that begin with - and report those targets as skipped. Execution and applied-result counts use only targets with generated commands. Scan JSON includes the option-shaped skip count.

Changes: Option-shaped package handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Command planning and filtering
src/utils/package-identity.ts, src/remediation/fix-commands.ts, src/output/printers.ts, tests/remediation/npm-alias-fixes.test.ts
Shared helpers identify option-shaped command operands. Fix planning records those targets as skipped and omits them from plans. Tests cover aliases, parent updates, valid remediation targets, and plan output.
Runnable target execution
src/utils/fix-runner.ts, tests/utils/runner-option-injection.test.ts
Command builders return no commands for option-shaped package operands. The runner uses targets with generated commands for execution, progress, and applied-result counts.
Suppression counts and result output
src/utils/fix-runner.ts, src/scan/single-scan.ts, tests/fix-runner-summary.test.ts
The runner counts option-shaped skips separately and includes them in the not-auto-applied total. Scan JSON includes the count with a zero default. Tests cover categorization and summary output.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Possibly related issues

  • Issue 1584 requests option-shaped-name protection for workspace operands, while this change covers package operands.

When every fix is suppressed, the default output does not explain why no command is available. This is a bounded issue with a verbose-output workaround; the change is otherwise mergeable with owner awareness.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Users do not receive or run fix commands with package names that begin with - [#1492]. The plan builder rejects option-shaped command operands and records them as skipped. Both install and parent-update argv builders also reject them. The fix runner excludes targets with no runnable command and reports them as not applied. The PR tests cover all four package managers, both target builders, and the npm alias path.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

I found no unrelated changes. The skip count and JSON field report the suppression required by [#1492]. The exported helpers support the related tests. The remaining changes update tests and fixtures for this behavior.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title uses the required "type: short description" form with type "fix", and the scope "(security)" is an extra qualifier. The description is lowercase after the colon, has no trailing period, and matches the main change: option-shaped package names are suppressed in fix commands. The title is not generic and does not describe anything absent from the changeset. Its scope, however, sits between the type and the colon, which the required form does not list.

Full details: Linked Issue

Explanation

For this check, the PR body links its issue, so the check passes. The contributor's description ends with "Closes #1492". That uses one of the accepted keywords (Closes, Fixes, Resolves, Refs) followed by an issue number. The linked issue #1492 is the direct link in the supplied context. I did not need code evidence, because this criterion only tests the PR body for an issue reference.

Full details: Closes Keyword Matches Scope

Explanation

I read this as a maintainer. The PR body uses "Closes #1492", so merging auto-closes that issue. I checked each item the issue asks for against the current code. Items from #1492 and their status: 1. Guard in the install builder for npm, pnpm, yarn and bun. Delivered. buildInstallApplyArgv in src/utils/fix-runner.ts returns no argv when isOptionShapedName(pkgArg) is true (line 198). The check runs before the package-manager branches, so it covers all four. 2. Guard in the parent-update builder. Delivered. buildParentUpdateApplyArgv returns no argv when isOptionShapedName(updatePkg) is true (line 254). 3. The printed plan never emits an option-shaped package argument. Delivered for the package operand. upsertTarget in src/remediation/fix-commands.ts checks commandPackageName(next) (lines 822-823). It records a skip with optionShapedName: true and does not add the target. The runner also filters out targets with no runnable commands. 4. An explicit invariant against future changes. Delivered. The guard is a named helper, isOptionShapedName, in src/utils/package-identity.ts, used by both the planner and the runner. 5. Tests for the stated scope. Delivered. tests/utils/runner-option-injection.test.ts covers npm, pnpm, yarn and bun for both builders. tests/remediation/npm-alias-fixes.test.ts covers the alias route end to end. Residual gap, outside the issue's package-token scope: Yarn workspace names are not guarded. In buildInstallApplyArgv (lines 229-234) and in the plan builder (line 1115), a workspace name is passed as yarn workspace <ws> add. A workspace named --ignore-scripts would therefore still produce an option-shaped argument. Issue #1492 is about package tokens from the lockfile. Workspace names come from manifests, so I do not count this as an unbuilt item for this check. The author may still want a follow-up for it. Divergence from the issue's premise: the issue calls the problem latent. The PR says npm alias matching makes it live. This does not change the check. The PR delivers the guard the issue asks for. Because every requested item is delivered, the closing keyword matches the scope.

Full details: No New Runtime Dependency

Explanation

I checked this change against the "No new runtime dependency" rule. This PR does not change package.json. The changed-file inventory between the review base and head lists no package.json, and the git diff for that path is empty. I also compared the dependency sections at both refs: - dependencies: identical at base and head (better-sqlite3, fflate, semver, yaml, yarn-lockfile). No entry was added. - optionalDependencies: empty at both refs. - devDependencies: identical at both refs. No package was moved into dependencies. The new helpers (isOptionShapedName, commandPackageName) use only existing code and no new imports from packages outside the project. The rule does not fail on any of these, so it passes. I did not review the other review findings. They concern build errors and logic in src/ and tests/, which this check does not cover.

Thanks @S3DFX-CYBER, and welcome. You were right to chase this, and it's more urgent than the description says: since #1450 merged yesterday, a package installed under an npm alias is matched against advisories by its real name while the fix command keeps the alias. An alias named --registry=http://127.0.0.1:9/ over axios@0.21.1 gets a HIGH finding on main, the plan prints npm install --registry=http://127.0.0.1:9/@npm:axios@0.33.0, and --fix runs it with npm treating it as a registry setting. So the runner guard you added is exactly the right idea. A few things before it can go in:

  • When the guard drops a target, the --fix summary still counts it as applied ("Applied fixes: 1" plus the version line). Could that target be reported as not applied, with a short reason, so the output matches what actually ran?
  • The title and description could say what it does now, suppressing option-shaped package names, and drop the "latent" framing, since the alias route makes it reachable.

Add a --fix test for suppressed option-shaped targets.

The new tests call only buildApplyCommands and buildTargetCommand. No test sends an option-shaped package through applyFixesIfRequested, and no test checks the suppressed count. A regression that spawns a command for such a target, or that miscounts suppressed targets, would pass the suite.

Add one test to tests/fix-runner-apply.test.ts, using the existing plan, target, recordingRunner, and options helpers. The test should:

  • Build a plan with one direct target whose package starts with --, such as --ignore-scripts=false.
  • Run it through applyFixesIfRequested.
  • Assert that no command runs.
  • Assert that the applied count is 0.
  • Assert that the reported suppressed count is 1.

The test depends on the filter call on line 276 being corrected first.

Thanks @S3DFX-CYBER, the main fix works now. On the alias example from last round, --fix runs nothing, package.json is untouched, and the summary says Applied fixes: 0 with Suppressed (package name looks like an option): 1. A few things before it can go in:

  • CI is red with two failures. The new test calls tBeNull() instead of toBeNull(). And printFixModeSummary prints Not auto-applied: NaN when suppressedCount isn't set, which is what the existing summary test hits. Could the sum treat a missing count as 0, or the test pass one?
  • The fix plan still says 1 command group ready across 1 package and lists the target under "High severity direct fixes", with no command under it. Could suppressed targets be left out of that count, with a short line saying why there's no command?
  • The "looks like an option" check is written twice, once in the fix-command builder and once in the runner. Could both use one shared helper?
  • Small tidy-ups: one if lost its indentation, there's trailing whitespace after a {, and a couple of comment typos ("by the,", "package manager , follows").
  • The title and description still call this latent and say no finding is produced today. Since #1450 that isn't true. Could they say what it does now, as asked last time?

Thanks @S3DFX-CYBER, nearly there. The npm-alias fixture now targets 1.0.1 and checks the actual target, all three cases I asked for are in plus two more, the no-op line is gone, and your latest commits took out the Yarn workspace checks. End to end, a lockfile with an alias key --ignore-scripts=false makes main run npm install --ignore-scripts=false@npm:axios@0.34.0 under --fix. Your branch skips it, says why, counts it under "Not auto-applied", and only runs the safe install.

What still keeps CI red, plus one leftover:

  1. tests/fix-runner-summary.test.ts line 72 ends the object with }: instead of };, so the file doesn't compile and none of the summary tests run.
  2. tests/fix-result-json.test.ts line 78 still builds an UnappliedBreakdown without optionShapedNameCount. You could add it there, or make the field optional (?: number, read as ?? 0), which is what #1588 does and would make the two easier to reconcile.
  3. tests/create-pr.test.ts still carries the spawnMock typing change (around 311-319) and incompletePolicy (360). Please revert both so that file only gets the optionShapedNameCount lines.

Small: please add one single-dash name such as -rf, since every test uses -- and changing the check to startsWith("--") passes today.

On CodeRabbit's open Yarn thread: workspace names are covered by #1584 and #1588, so no separate issue is needed. You can say so and resolve it. Heads-up that #1588 touches the same code, so whichever lands second will need a rebase.

src/remediation/fix-commands.ts: 1

822-832: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Low value

I think this guard leaves one gap that matters to users. upsertTarget checks only the package operand from commandPackageName(next). If a target has workspaces and a workspace name starts with -, the plan still prints a workspace-scoped command and counts the finding as covered. The Yarn workspace case is already tracked as deferred to #1584, so I will not ask for it here.

The guard has another limit. For kind: "direct" and "parent-upgrade", commandPackageName returns package. The install builders in the runner check installPackageSpec(target) instead. For an npm alias, that spec is name@npm:registry@version. A name that is not option-shaped can never make that spec start with -. So the two checks agree today. Still, the planner and the runner test different operands for install targets. A short comment next to the guard would stop them drifting apart.

I like that these tests drive buildApplyCommands directly. The runner is the last line of defense, so that is the right place to test it.

There is one gap. The path instructions ask whether each test fails if the change is reverted. No test covers an option-shaped workspace name or an option-shaped alias spec on the runner side. Past review threads settled that workspace handling is deferred to #1584, so I will not push on it. A short comment in the test file saying workspaces are out of scope would save the next reader a question.

CodeRabbit: Dismissed by CodeRabbit

The field is only set by categorizeUnappliedTargets, so readers treat an
absent value as 0. That lets create-pr.test.ts and fix-result-json.test.ts
stay exactly as they are on main, keeping this PR to the option-shaped
name guard.
Every existing case used a double-dash name, so a check narrowed to
startsWith("--") would still pass. Adds -rf at the planner and argv
levels so that mutation fails.

Thanks @S3DFX-CYBER, this is ready. All of last round's items are in: the summary test compiles again, create-pr.test.ts matches main, the optional count lines up with #1588, and the -rf cases mean a ---only check would now fail. CI is green and the full suite passes. With an alias key of --ignore-scripts=false over axios 0.21.1, the plan only offers the lodash install, lists the alias under skipped with the reason, and the JSON carries the same entry with no command anywhere. Each new check fails a test when I take it out.

Heads-up that #1588 touches the same code, so whichever lands second will need a quick rebase. Approved, and I merge these one at a time, so it will land shortly.

* Merge commit from fork

* fix(security): restrict repository registry destinations

* test: use typed fetch responses in registry tests

* docs: describe registry destination trust boundary

* fix(security): enforce registry policy in override audits

(cherry picked from commit fe909d6)

* Merge commit from fork

* fix(security): quote subfolder paths in remediation commands

* fix(security): quote override remediation paths

(cherry picked from commit 4d6e38f)

* Merge commit from fork

Yarn 1.22 records an alias as "util-lib@npm:lodash@4.17.20". The classic
parser kept the text before the final @, so a scan queried
util-lib@npm:lodash and reported no advisories for the lodash that was
actually installed.

(cherry picked from commit 8b4800c)

* release: v1.41.1

Version bump only. The three security fixes are already in this branch, carried over from main.

* docs: changelog for v1.41.1

* fix(registry): trust npm-exported registry only when it matches user config

npm run and npx export a project's own .npmrc registry to the scanner as
lowercase npm_config_registry, which was treated as an explicit user setting
and granted private access. The lowercase spelling, and any spelling on
Windows, is now trusted only when it is the public registry or matches the
user's home config.

* refactor(registry): use the shared public registry constant in registry fetch

* test(registry): return a fresh Response for each mocked fetch

* docs: note npm-exported registries in v1.41.1 changelog and proxy docs

* fix(registry): say how to trust a blocked registry, including on Windows

* fix(registry): give a recovery step the resolver honours when a registry is blocked

A project registry takes precedence over the user's home config, so
pointing users at their home config alone does not unblock a scan.

* Merge commit from fork

* Merge commit from fork

* fix(npm): resolve registry identities for overrides and peerDependencies aliases

* fix(npm): gate peer alias resolution and extract alias module

* release: v1.41.2

* docs: changelog for v1.41.2

Also corrects the 1.41.1 release date and its upgrade note, which told
users to set the registry in their user-level config without saying the
project's own config has to drop it first.

* Merge commit from fork

* fix(security): add a check for names that are unsafe in any common shell

shellQuote is POSIX single-quote quoting. cmd.exe ignores single quotes and
PowerShell reads the POSIX escape for a quote differently, so a name with
& | < > ^ % ! quotes, a backtick or a control character can still act there.
isSafeInEveryShell flags those, and npmLsCommand returns no command for them.

* fix(security): withhold fix commands that are unsafe to paste in some shell

A target whose package, version or workspace name fails the check gets no
command and each affected finding is listed as skipped with the reason,
under its own package so a parent-update target cannot hide the child. A
folder name that fails the check withholds every command for that folder.

* fix(security): withhold unsafe inspection, phantom and override commands

The npm ls hints, the PD001 and PD002 install commands and the override
--fix command give a plain instruction instead of a command when the
package or folder name is not safe to paste into every shell.

* test: expect no command for names unsafe in some shell

Names that only POSIX quoting can neutralise now get no command; the
real-shell execution checks stay for the rest.

* test: pin which names withhold a command and how skips are reported

Covers the shell check on both sides, an unsafe package next to a safe one,
an unsafe folder naming each affected package including a child refreshed
through its parent, a folder with only a space, and the override command.

* test: fill the override context fields the shell quoting test omitted

The context was missing three fields and passed possibly-undefined
details to a string helper; both were type errors carried from the test's
original version, which the CI check now counts because this branch edits
the file.

* release: v1.41.3

* docs: changelog for v1.41.3

* fix(security): suppress option-shaped package names in fix commands (#1493)

* Update shellQuote function for token quoting

Modify shellQuote function to force quote tokens starting with '-' to prevent misinterpretation as options.

* Export buildApplyCommands and add isOptionShaped function

* Add tests for option-shaped package names in commands

* Refactor command handling and shell quoting logic

Refactor shellQuote function to simplify token validation and adjust command handling for option-shaped names.

* Add suppressedCount to notAutoApplied object

* Add suppressedCount to FixExecutionResult

Added suppressedCount to track suppressed findings and updated related logic.

* Implement test for npm alias option suppression

Add test to suppress fix command for npm alias resembling an option

* Fix import paths and update test cases

Updated import paths to use .js extensions and fixed a typo in the test case.

* Update src/utils/fix-runner.ts

* fix: make optionShapedNameCount optional so fixtures match main

The field is only set by categorizeUnappliedTargets, so readers treat an
absent value as 0. That lets create-pr.test.ts and fix-result-json.test.ts
stay exactly as they are on main, keeping this PR to the option-shaped
name guard.

* test: cover single-dash option-shaped names such as -rf

Every existing case used a double-dash name, so a check narrowed to
startsWith("--") would still pass. Adds -rf at the planner and argv
levels so that mutation fails.
