What changed and why

Lockfile resolved URLs were saved as-is, so a URL like https://user:token@registry.example.com/... ended up in the SPDX downloadLocation and in the terminal output.

All lockfile parsers go through upsertPackage, so the URL is cleaned there once. The new stripUrlCredentials helper removes the username, password and query string. It keeps git@ on ssh URLs, the #commit part, and GitLab's ?sha= commit pin, since the pinned-commit check needs those.

Tests cover the three cases from the issue in the SPDX output, plus edge cases for the helper.

The one-line change in tests/network.test.ts is the same as in #1566. Without it the type-check gate flags an existing error there, because adding new URL changes how TypeScript prints it.

I saw #1595 after I'd started. The main difference is that this one cleans the URL in one place and drops the whole query instead of matching key names. Happy to close this if you'd rather go with that one.

Closes #1591

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Removed credentials and sensitive query parameters from package download locations, helping prevent secrets from appearing in generated SPDX documents.
  • Preserved Git SSH usernames and valid repository archive commit pins when sanitizing URLs.
  • Handled numeric package resolution values without causing parsing failures.

Resolved package URLs are sanitized before package-key derivation and storage. The helper removes URL userinfo and query strings, with exceptions for specified SSH usernames and GitLab archive SHA pins. Tests cover URL handling, SPDX output, and numeric lockfile values.

Changes: Resolved URL sanitization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
URL credential filtering src/utils/strip-url-credentials.ts, tests/utils/strip-url-credentials.test.ts	The helper strips matching userinfo and query strings while preserving qualifying SSH usernames, GitLab archive SHA pins, and fragments. Tests cover these rules and malformed URLs.
Package upsert and output validation src/parsers/utils.ts, tests/spdx.test.ts, tests/parsers/npm-lock.test.ts, tests/network.test.ts	upsertPackage sanitizes truthy string resolvedUrl values before deriving the package key and storing the package. Tests check SPDX output for credentials, parsing of numeric resolved values, and the updated fetch mock type.

The inspected lockfile paths use the shared credential filter, and no actionable issue remains that should delay merging.

Explanation

Users no longer receive credentials from lockfile resolved URLs in SPDX output. [#1591] upsertPackage applies the shared stripUrlCredentials helper before storing or merging package data, so downstream outputs use the cleaned URL. The SPDX test covers user/password, token-only userinfo, and query-token cases, and checks that secrets are absent. Helper tests cover malformed URLs, SSH git@, fragments, and GitLab commit pins. A non-string resolved value also has a regression test.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

I found no demonstrated unrelated change. The tests/network.test.ts mock typing adjustment does not change network behavior and supports the type-check gate affected by this change. The remaining implementation and tests support [#1591].

Full details: Closes Keyword Matches Scope

Explanation

Users can see a token in terminal output. Issue #1591 asks for one shared helper that removes resolved-URL credentials and query tokens before any output, plus SPDX tests for user/password, token-only userinfo, and query tokens. The PR adds the helper and SPDX tests, but it preserves fragments. For https://alice:password@github.com/org/repo.git#access_token=secret123, removing userinfo makes isGitSource match. The scanner then prints the retained token for a malicious finding. Before this change, that URL did not match the Git-source prefix.

Resolution

Remove credential-bearing fragment data while preserving valid commit pins, and add output tests. Until all issue items are delivered, replace Closes #1591 with Refs #1591.
