What changed and why

queryBatch discarded next_page_token, silently omitting later advisories while reporting complete detection. Follow each query's continuation until exhausted, preserve its original package index, and deduplicate advisory IDs across pages. Validate the result count, row shape, vulnerability-list shape, and each advisory's non-blank string ID on every page. Reject explicit empty, non-string, or repeated tokens; only an omitted token completes a query. Omitted or empty vulnerability lists remain valid, while a null list is rejected.

Stop after 100 pages if the server never finishes; a query that completes on page 100 still succeeds. Wrap failures with the endpoint-qualified error and retain debug context. Errors tell users to retry the scan and report persistent failures. A failed continuation rejects the scan before partial query results can be cached.

Bump the cache format to v7 and discard pre-pagination query entries so an upgrade refetches complete matches immediately, while preserving advisory details and npm registry cache sections.

Tests cover independent per-package tokens, an unpaginated control, three pages, duplicate IDs, empty intermediate pages, custom advisory IDs, both sides of the page-limit boundary, malformed rows/lists/IDs/tokens on initial and continuation pages, recovery guidance, continuation HTTP/shape/count failures, legacy cache migration, and a real scan whose second-page high advisory survives a repeat cache hit.

Validation

  • npm ci, npm run lint:tests, and npm run build passed.
  • Changed-test type-check against e0e5db0ff776 passed: all 5 changed test files are clean, with no new errors. The base retains 30 existing test-tree errors.
  • advisories sync rebuilt an isolated database with 230,916 records using the integrity-checked public OSV npm dump cached during review.
  • Full npm test -- --maxWorkers=2 --watchman=false: 229 suites passed; 3,543 tests passed and 3 skipped, with an isolated home/cache.
  • Five targeted mutations of the new guards and recovery guidance made their regression tests fail as expected; the intended code was restored before final validation.
  • The original paginated reproduction retains the high advisory and its unpaginated control remains unchanged. Real CLI checks for empty tokens, null lists, blank IDs, and the page cap exit 1 with recovery guidance, empty stdout in JSON mode, and no partial query cache. A long endpoint remains readable in the failure output.
  • Six representative offline scan JSON fixtures and their exit codes match e0e5db0ff776.

Closes #1609

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • OSV advisory scans now retrieve paginated results and avoid duplicate vulnerabilities across pages.
    • Invalid pagination responses are rejected, and later-page findings are available on repeated scans.
    • Failed paginated requests now include guidance to retry or report the issue.
  • Cache
    • OSV cache format is updated to version 7. Older query-cache entries are discarded during upgrades, while supported advisory details and registry data are preserved.

OSV scans now retrieve paginated batch results and retain vulnerabilities from later pages. The source validates responses, tracks continuation tokens per package, and deduplicates vulnerabilities by ID. The cache format advances to version 7 and drops older query entries.

Explanation

Issue [#1609] requires per-query continuation requests, package-to-query mapping, complete page merging, and no caching of partial results after continuation failure. The reviewed change sends each query's token independently, preserves package indexes, deduplicates advisory IDs across pages, validates page responses and tokens, and rejects failed continuations before caching. The added tests cover the reported second-page advisory and the required malformed and failure cases.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The source change and tests stay within [#1609]. Cache format v7 discards pre-pagination query entries and preserves detail and registry sections, so upgraded scans refetch complete results. The cache migration and fixture updates support the pagination fix. No unrelated product behavior is shown.

Full details: Closes Keyword Matches Scope

Explanation

Users can receive later-page advisories, and a continuation failure stops the scan instead of returning partial results. I checked the items in issue #1609: follow each query’s tokens, merge pages, preserve package mapping, report continuation failures, and avoid caching partial results. The changes implement each item. The new tests also cover independent tokens, multiple pages, duplicates, failure handling, and the high-severity reproduction. The 100-page limit fails the scan rather than reporting a partial result as complete.

Thanks @vianmangal. This is a nasty one, because the scan said it was complete while it quietly missed later pages, and the fix is the right shape: only the queries that still have a token get resent, each keeps its original slot, and IDs merge across pages. Against main on our copilotkit and nextjs examples with --no-cache, findings, advisory records and the advisory ids on every finding match exactly, and the number of OSV requests is the same on both, so when OSV doesn't paginate nothing changes and nothing extra is paid. The fix-version confirmation and override checks go through the same queryBatch, so they pick this up too. Breaking each guard on purpose fails a test, apart from the two small things inline. Neither blocks this.

Approved. I merge these one at a time rather than in a batch, so it will land shortly.

Use different continuation tokens for different packages.

Both a and c receive "second". An implementation that incorrectly shares or exchanges their tokens can therefore pass this test.

I would use package-specific tokens, such as "a-second" and "c-second". Make the fake response reject a token that belongs to another package, and assert the distinct outgoing tokens. This checks the per-package continuation contract directly.

As per path instructions, flag “fixtures that cannot exhibit the condition they claim to test.”

@sonukapoor Both of your comments and both CodeRabbit findings are addressed in b37ec81, and the four threads are resolved. This adds consistent error/debug context, a 100-page bound, direct non-string-token guard tests, malformed-row rejection, and cache v7 migration that preserves the other sections. I also strengthened the per-package token test. All 229 suites pass (3,518 tests; 3 skipped), and six fixture scans match the latest base.

22-22: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Use one batch endpoint for requests and errors.

queryBatch and queryPage each construct ${this.baseUrl}/v1/querybatch. I would pass one endpoint into queryPage or extract the endpoint construction. That keeps the reported endpoint aligned with the requested endpoint.

As per path instructions, “Flag repeated string literals that should be constants.”

129-129: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Move page-response validation out of queryPage.

queryPage now spans about 80 lines. Response parsing and validation form a distinct step at Lines 127-149. I would extract that step so the request path and validation path are easier to inspect separately.

As per path instructions, flag “functions growing past roughly 60 lines when a distinct step could be its own helper.”

Thanks @vianmangal, this is in good shape now. The loop is capped at 100 pages with the endpoint and debug context kept, the truthy non-string tokens test the typeof guard directly, and the v7 cache bump means nobody keeps a first-page-only answer after upgrading. With a fake OSV that splits a low and a high advisory across two pages, main reports low and says it's complete, while this branch reports high. A server that never stops handing out tokens now stops at 100 requests with the retry guidance, and a 503 on page two fails the scan instead of caching half an answer.

Heads up: #1615 also moves the cache to v7, and the two conflict in tests/osv-cache.test.ts and tests/output.test.ts. Whichever lands second will need a rebase, and at that point the v7 migration should do both jobs (drop pre-v7 query entries and the unscoped records) in one place. They'll ship in the same release, so nobody ends up with a half-migrated v7 file.

Small follow-up if you want it: the repeated-token test still passes with that check removed, because the page cap catches it after 100 requests. Asserting the request count there, like you did for the non-string tokens, would pin the fast path. Not blocking.

Approved. I merge these one at a time rather than in a batch, so it will land shortly.
