Closes #1591

What changed and why

Resolved URLs in lockfiles (written by private registries, alternative tooling, or edited manually) can contain user credentials or sensitive authentication tokens (such as https://user:password@registry.example.com/..., token-only userinfo https://token@registry.example.com/..., or query tokens ?token=...). Previously, these credentials were passed through verbatim and leaked into SPDX SBOM downloadLocation and terminal outputs.

Changes:

  1. Shared Credential Stripping Helper (src/utils/url.ts):

    • Strips usernames and passwords from URL userinfo (user:password and token-only userinfo like token@).
    • Strips sensitive query parameters containing tokens, API keys, secrets, passwords, or signatures (e.g. token, authToken, _authToken, access_token, apiKey, key, secret, signature, sig, password, X-Amz-Security-Token, etc.).
    • Preserves harmless query parameters (e.g. version, checksum, format), commit hash fragments (#hash), and standard git@ SSH service accounts without passwords.
    • Handles non-standard / malformed URLs gracefully without throwing.
  2. Read-Time Sanitization Across All Lockfiles:

    • src/parsers/package-lock.ts: sanitizes resolved for npm v1, v2, and v3 lockfiles.
    • src/parsers/pnpm-lock.ts: sanitizes resolution.tarball for legacy and v9 lockfiles.
    • src/parsers/yarn-lock.ts: sanitizes resolved for Yarn Classic lockfiles.
    • src/parsers/bun-lock.ts: sanitizes entry[1] for Bun lockfiles.
  3. Emission-Time Protection:

    • src/output/spdx.ts: sanitizes downloadLocation before writing SPDX packages.
    • src/output/printers.ts: sanitizes pkg.resolvedUrl before printing to the terminal.
  4. Testing:

    • Added unit test suite in tests/utils/url.test.ts covering user:password, token-only userinfo, query tokens (camelCase, snake_case, AWS presigned), mixed query params, git schemes, commit hashes, and non-standard URLs.
    • Added tests in tests/spdx.test.ts verifying that downloadLocation strips user:password, token-only userinfo, and query tokens.
    • Added parser tests verifying credential stripping in tests/parsers/npm-lock.test.ts, tests/parsers/pnpm-lock.test.ts, tests/parsers/yarn-lock.test.ts, and tests/parsers/bun-lock.test.ts.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Removed embedded usernames, passwords, and sensitive query tokens from package download URLs while preserving the remaining URL details, including ordinary query parameters and fragments.
    • Applied URL sanitization to package data from supported lockfiles and SPDX documents, including duplicate package entries.
    • Prevented credential-bearing registry URLs from incorrectly affecting malicious-package verification.
    • Preserved file and SSH download locations while sanitizing credential-bearing URLs.

This change removes credentials and sensitive query parameters from resolved URLs before package upsert stores or merges them. Tests cover URL formats, lockfile parsers, SPDX download locations, and scanner cache behavior.

Changes: Resolved URL sanitization

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 5e302

The change strips most credentials and query tokens from resolved URLs, but some less common forms can still reach SPDX download locations and terminal output unchanged. Fix those cases before merge, or accept them knowingly. The affected inputs are uncommon, and the common lockfile credential forms are handled.

Explanation

Users receive sanitized resolved URLs before output. For [#1591], stripUrlCredentials removes URL userinfo and sensitive query parameters, and preserves non-sensitive data such as commit fragments and standard git@ SSH accounts. upsertPackage sanitizes resolvedUrl before storing package data, which covers JSON and CycloneDX consumers. The reported parser integrations cover npm v1/v2/v3, pnpm, Yarn, and Bun. SPDX and terminal output paths also sanitize their values. The added tests cover user:password, token-only userinfo, query tokens, each listed parser, and SPDX downloadLocation.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within [#1591]. The helper and parser, SPDX, terminal, JSON, and CycloneDX protections implement the issue. The parser and helper tests verify the required behavior. Reusing SECRET_KEY in debug redaction removes duplicate credential-key logic, and the scanner-cache regression test verifies that sanitization does not break advisory matching. No unrelated change is demonstrated.

Full details: Closes Keyword Matches Scope

Explanation

Users can still expose credentials in SPDX output, so issue #1591 is not complete. It asks for shared removal of credentials and query tokens from all outputs, plus SPDX tests for user:password, token-only userinfo, and query tokens. The tests are present. The prior git+ssh://secret@github.com:org?ref=a@b example is fixed, but src/utils/url.ts leaves user:pa?ss@github.com:org/repo.git unchanged: the SCP fallback treats ? as the query boundary before it looks for userinfo. The new merge in src/parsers/utils.ts:26 can store that URL from a later npm entry; src/output/spdx.ts:256 then emits it.

Resolution

Fix SCP fallback handling for credentials with unencoded delimiters and add parser and SPDX regression tests. Until issue #1591 is complete, replace Closes #1591 with Refs #1591.

Extract the fallback branch of stripUrlCredentials into a helper.

This function is now about 70 lines. The catch block is a separate step: it does manual userinfo stripping for URLs that new URL cannot parse. It has its own state (slashIdx, queryIdx, hashIdx, atIdx). Moving it into something like stripUserinfoFallback(url: string): string would make each path easier to review. This matters because security fixes for the fallback (the last-@ and SCP-style cases) will land in that block.

The literals "git+ssh:", "ssh:", "git+ssh://" and "ssh://" also appear twice each. I would turn them into constants, for example a SSH_PROTOCOLS set and a helper isSshScheme.

As per path instructions: "Flag repeated string literals that should be constants" and "functions growing past roughly 60 lines when a distinct step could be its own helper."

I still see bracketed query keys such as auth[password] leaking into output.

This is the earlier bracketed-key finding. I don't think the current revision fixes it, even though that thread is marked resolved. normalized.split(/[_-]/) leaves auth[password] as a single part. That part is not in SENSITIVE_PARAM_EXACT, and it contains neither token nor secret. isSensitiveQueryParam("auth[password]") therefore returns false. A lockfile URL like https://host/pkg.tgz?auth[password]=hunter2 keeps the password in SPDX downloadLocation and in the terminal output. For a scanner whose purpose is to keep credentials out of reports, I'd close this gap.

Split on bracket and dot delimiters as well, and add a test for it:

Proposed fix

-  const parts = normalized.split(/[_-]/);
+  const parts = normalized.split(/[_\-.[\]]+/).filter(Boolean);
expect(isSensitiveQueryParam("auth[password]")).toBe(true);

Thanks @coder-Yash886, the stripping itself works. I built npm v3, pnpm, Yarn and Bun lockfiles carrying user:pass@, token@, ?token=, _authToken and X-Amz-Signature URLs. On main all of them reach the SPDX downloadLocation, and the token on a git-source note reaches the terminal. On your branch none do, and plain npmjs and git+ssh://git@ URLs come out byte-identical. On your latest commit a malformed percent escape no longer crashes the scan, and the body closes #1591. A correction on my side: the issue mentions CycloneDX and JSON, but those never print the resolved URL, so SPDX and the terminal are the only places this matters. Merged with current main the suite passes and it builds.

What's left:

  1. URLs with nothing to strip still get rewritten. Going through new URL every time turns file:vendor/foo-1.0.0.tgz into file:///vendor/foo-1.0.0.tgz in the SPDX output, a different and wrong path. It also lowercases hosts and re-encodes spaces. Could you return the original string unchanged when there's no userinfo and no sensitive parameter?
  2. #1581 goes first. It's older and adds the v1 resolved read on the same lines in package-lock.ts, plus a merge rule for duplicates. Could you drop that addition here and rebase onto it, keeping only the sanitizing?
  3. One place, not two. Sanitizing once where every parser stores the URL (upsertPackage in src/parsers/utils.ts) would cover every format with one call, including #1581's v1 path for free. It's also the better place, because it stops u:p@registry.npmjs.org hiding a malicious package behind "private source". The per-parser calls, plus the calls in printers.ts and spdx.ts, would then go. Please add a test for that classification change.

Smaller:

  • debug-redaction.ts already has a SECRET_KEY list of credential names, so please share it rather than adding a second one. The x_amz_ clause is dead, since "signature" and "credential" already catch it, and it also strips harmless X-Amz-Date.
  • CodeRabbit's point about the fallback userinfo pattern still applies if it isn't anchored: git+ssh://github.com:org?ref=a@b became git+ssh://b.
  • Tests: the scp-style git+ssh://git@github.com:org/repo.git kept as is, and file: unchanged.

For transparency, #1596 also came in for this issue. Yours is older, so it has first claim.

## Code standards

- CI also type-checks the test tree against your branch point. Test files your pull request adds or changes must have no type errors, and no other file may gain a type error, so a source change that breaks an unchanged test fails too. Errors that already exist on `main` are the backlog and do not fail. The gate matches errors by file, error code and message, so a source change that alters a backlog error's message counts as a new error. It only sees committed changes, so commit before running it (it compares against the merge base, so a branch that is behind `main` still sees only its own changes). Fix a type error rather than silencing it: a cast, an `any` or a widened type removes the check the gate exists for.

stripUserinfoFallback is about 60 lines and repeats the "git" literal

I like that the fallback fails closed. The function now holds two separate parsers: the SCP-style branch (lines 47 to 70) and the scheme:// branch. It is also easy to lose track of the rules for git@. The literal "git" appears at lines 62, 88, 127 and 146.

I would extract the SCP branch into a helper such as stripScpUserinfo(url). I would also add const GIT_SSH_USER = "git" next to SSH_SCHEMES. This keeps the git@ allowance in one place. It also gives you a clear spot for the / guard in the other comment.

This is not urgent, but it would make the next change to these rules safer.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Protect SPDX output when packages bypass upsertPackage.

I can pass a credential-bearing PackageRef directly to the exported buildSpdxDocument. buildPackageEntry copies its raw resolvedUrl into downloadLocation. This test passes every package through upsertPackage, so it cannot detect that leak. Sanitize downloadLocation in buildPackageEntry, then add a test that calls buildSpdxDocument with an unsanitized package. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

`git+ssh://user:pa?ss=foo@github.com:org/repo.git` to verify the password is not
exposed.

stripUrlCredentials redacts pass query parameters from resolved URLs, and test
this behavior through the sanitizer.

- Line 3: Update SECRET_KEY and isSensitiveQueryParam so passphrase and
sessionid query keys are treated as sensitive and their values are removed from
resolved URLs. Add sanitizer tests covering both keys and preserve existing
handling of credential-bearing parameters.
- Line 3: Update SECRET_KEY and the sensitive-key checks that collect and mask
event-detail values so auth_token is recognized consistently, including when it
appears as a URL query key; ensure its value is redacted before writing event
details.
- Line 50: Update the URL parsing flow around authorityEnd and stripScpUserinfo
so malformed userinfo containing “?” cannot be retained in the resolved URL;
redact the authority before treating “?” as a query delimiter or omit the
ambiguous location. Add regression tests in the URL utility tests for both the
SCP-style and HTTPS inputs described in the review, confirming credentials do
not appear in the resolved URL or its outputs.
- Line 90: Update both fallback branches around the slashIdx check so
query-string @ characters cannot be mistaken for host separators and replace the
Git host; preserve malformed-credential stripping, and add tests for the two
reported inputs.

Thanks @coder-Yash886, this is in good shape now. Sanitizing in upsertPackage covers every lockfile format in one place, and URLs with nothing to strip come back byte for byte. file:vendor/..., packages/@scope/foo and the scp-style git+ssh://git@... all survive, and X-Amz-Date is kept while the signature and credential go. The registry.npmjs.org-with-credentials test is exactly what I wanted for the classification change. Merged with current main the suite passes and it builds, and on a test lockfile neither the SBOM nor the terminal shows the credentials any more.

Two small things, neither blocking. upsertPackage still carries the resolvedUrl ??= merge rule from #1581, so this goes in after #1581 and will need a quick rebase onto it. And a slash-less git+ssh://host:org?ref=a@b:c still comes out as git+ssh://b:c, which is contrived enough that I'm happy to leave it.

Approved. I merge these one at a time, so it will land after #1581.
