fix: validate the registry for npm alias tarballs - #1633
Only infer an npm alias identity from a registry-shaped tarball when its URL belongs to the public npm registry or the configured registry for the target package. Match the configured origin and base path and retain the existing package and version checks.
Added regressions for off-registry URLs that reach the tarball fallback, including a lookalike hostname, an incorrect registry base path or port, and a credential-bearing URL. Also covered configured default and scoped registries. A one-line fetch mock typing correction keeps the changed-test type-check gate green.
Verification
All five off-registry regressions failed on upstream and passed with the fix.
Parser output matched upstream for all 58 tracked npm lockfiles in both standard and production-only modes.
On Linux with Node 24, npm ci, test hygiene, build, changed-test type checking, and advisory sync passed. The full Jest suite reported 232 suites passed and 3,573 tests passed, with 3 skipped.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.

Summary
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
npm aliases are recognized only when their tarball URLs use credential-free HTTP(S), match the expected package and version, and come from the public npm registry or that package’s configured registry.
Registry detection now respects environment, project, user, and global npm settings, applying consistent precedence to default and package-scoped registries.
Registry configuration supports quoted values, comments, environment-variable references, and expanded configuration paths, including home-relative paths.
I updated npm alias recovery to use registry settings when validating lockfile tarball URLs. The resolver accepts URLs from the public npm registry or the package’s configured registry, and loads settings from environment variables and npm configuration files.
Changes: Npm alias resolution
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Resolve alias registry settings src/utils/registry-config.ts
Registry values support npmrc quoting, escaped comments, and environment references. The alias-specific resolver selects default registry settings by precedence and merges scoped settings across global, user, project, and environment configuration.
Validate alias tarball URLs src/parsers/npm-alias-resolution.ts
The resolver passes registry settings to tarball validation. Validation checks the URL scheme, credentials, package and version path, origin, and registry path.
Cover registry-aware alias resolution tests/parsers/npm-alias.test.ts, tests/network.test.ts
Tests cover rejected non-registry URLs, configured registry sources, scoped registry matching, config-file selection, and interpolated registry URLs. The network test types its fetch mock.
The change restricts npm alias identity recovery to tarballs served from the public npm registry or the package's configured registry, and it reads registry settings from the environment and npmrc files. The earlier open concern about inline comments in config paths is addressed in the current code. One narrow limitation remains: an npm built-in config that redirects the global npmrc is not honored. The scanner cannot reliably find that file, so this is low risk and does not block merging.

Explanation
The description follows the template's "What changed and why" section and explains that npm alias identities are inferred from registry-shaped tarballs only when the URL belongs to the public npm registry or the configured package registry. It covers the regression tests and verification, and it includes "Closes #1629". The template placeholder is filled, so the description is complete.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
For users, this change means an npm alias gets its registry name from a tarball URL only when that URL belongs to the public npm registry or to the registry configured for the package. I read src/parsers/npm-alias-resolution.ts at the reviewed head. isRegistryTarballForPackage rejects non-HTTP(S) URLs and URLs with a username or password. It requires the pathname to end with /<name>/-/<unscoped>-<version>.tgz. It then requires the same origin as NPM_PUBLIC_REGISTRY or registryForPackage(registryConfig, manifestName), and a pathname under that registry base path. So a lookalike host, a wrong base path or port, and embedded credentials all fail. This matches the core of [#1629]. The stage-5 call site keeps the existing registry-spec checks and the isGitSource guard. Test coverage for the title-named test is author-reported in the PR description and the test summary. I did not read tests/parsers/npm-alias.test.ts. The unchanged-results requirement for real lockfiles rests on the author-reported parity check across 58 lockfiles. I could not run that check. The full Jest result is also author-reported. Objectives grouped: [#1629] reject off-registry tarball identity (code verified); [#1629] off-registry regression tests (author-reported); [#1629] real-lockfile results unchanged (author-reported).
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The origin and base-path check in isRegistryTarballForPackage directly implements [#1629]. The configured registry comes from resolveNpmAliasRegistryConfig in src/utils/registry-config.ts. That work covers npmrc parsing, environment expansion, scope merging, and config path discovery. The check needs these inputs to know the configured registry. I judge them related to [#1629], although they are broad. I did not read registry-config.ts in full in this review. The one-line change in tests/network.test.ts only types a fetch mock as typeof globalThis.fetch. The PR states this keeps the changed-test type-check gate green. New tests cover the off-registry cases and configured default and scoped registries, which support the objective. I found no change that lacks a connection to [#1629]. Result is based on code read at the head and on the PR summary for the tests and config file.
Full details: Linked Issue
Explanation
The check passes. The PR description ends with "Closes #1629", which uses the accepted keyword "Closes" followed by an issue number. The linked issue is #1629, "fix: alias tarball fallback accepts registry-shaped paths on any host." The check does not evaluate the code, so I did not inspect the diff. The verdict rests only on the PR body text.
Full details: Closes Keyword Matches Scope
Explanation
The PR body uses Closes #1629, so I checked issue #1629 against the diff. Issue #1629 asks for three things: 1. The tarball fallback accepts only the public npm registry or the project's configured registry. Delivered. In src/parsers/npm-alias-resolution.ts, isRegistryTarballForPackage now rejects non-HTTP(S) URLs and URLs with credentials. It requires the tarball origin and path prefix to match NPM_PUBLIC_REGISTRY or registryForPackage(registryConfig, manifestName). The registry config comes from the new resolveNpmAliasRegistryConfig in src/utils/registry-config.ts. 2. The test "rejects non-registry tarball URLs even when filename mimics a registry path" covers an off-registry host. Delivered. In tests/parsers/npm-alias.test.ts, that test's case list includes https://example.test/lodash/-/lodash-4.17.20.tgz (an off-registry host) and https://registry.npmjs.org.example.test/... (a lookalike host). The original direct-URL-spec coverage remains. 3. Results on real lockfiles stay unchanged. Supported by the PR's reported verification, not independently reproduced here. The author reports that parser output matched upstream for all 58 tracked npm lockfiles in standard and production-only modes. The code change only narrows acceptance for registry-shaped tarballs that fall outside the configured or public registry, so this claim is plausible. I could not run the lockfile comparison in this sandbox. The author of the primary PR is shryssssss-maker (provider-verified). All three items from #1629 are addressed, so the Closes keyword is appropriate.
Full details: No New Runtime Dependency
Explanation
I checked the reviewed range. The PR changes four files: src/parsers/npm-alias-resolution.ts, src/utils/registry-config.ts, tests/network.test.ts, and tests/parsers/npm-alias.test.ts. package.json is not in the changed-file list, and its diff is empty. The dependencies and devDependencies blocks are identical at the base and head. No optionalDependencies block exists at either revision. No runtime package was added, and no package moved from devDependencies into dependencies. The check passes. The PR does add RegistrySettings and resolveNpmAliasRegistryConfig in source code. It does this with Node built-ins and existing project code. That is a code change, not a manifest change, so it does not trigger this check.

Decode npmrc comments before resolving config paths.
Users can lose alias identities with a valid setting such as globalconfig=/opt/company/npmrc # shared registry. npm removes the inline comment, but parseIni retains it. The new path resolver therefore reads /opt/company/npmrc # shared registry, not the configured file. The same problem affects prefix. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
If that file supplies the only custom registry, tarball-only alias recovery rejects its URLs and leaves the target identity unset. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
I would decode INI comments and escapes before environment expansion. Preserve quoted or escaped comment characters. Add a regression with an inline-commented globalconfig and no other alias evidence.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Preserve npm's environment precedence when both spellings exist.
Users who run the scanner through an npm script can lose alias identities. npm can supply a lowercase configuration variable alongside an inherited uppercase variable, and documents that the lowercase value takes precedence inside scripts. This expression always selects uppercase instead. (docs.npmjs.com)
For example, with uppercase pointing to https://old.test/ and lowercase pointing to https://mirror.test/npm/, this resolver selects the old registry. A standalone v3 alias tarball from the mirror then fails validation. The loader reports the installation name without the target identity, so target advisories can be missed.
I'd normalize npm environment settings once and preserve npm's collision handling. Apply that lookup to registry and configuration-path settings. Add a regression with both spellings set to different values.

Test credentials on an otherwise accepted registry URL.
The credential rejection can regress without failing this case. other.test already fails the origin check, even if the credentials guard is removed.
I would retain this lookalike-host case and add https://user:***REDACTED_URI_PASSWORD***@mirror.test/npm/lodash/-/lodash-4.17.20.tgz. The added case would isolate the credentials guard against the configured registry.
As per path instructions, “For each new test, ask whether it would fail if the change it covers were reverted.”

Thanks @shryssssss-maker, and I'm sorry to close this one, because the work itself is good: I broke each guard in turn and every one took a test down with it.
The problem is the design I wrote into #1629, not your implementation. I built a small lockfile where an aliased lodash@4.17.20 resolves from registry.yarnpkg.com and scanned it with --fail-on high. On main it reports the high and exits 1. On this branch it says no known vulnerabilities and exits 0, and npmmirror and a corporate Artifactory path do the same. Any CI job, GitHub App scan or external scan that doesn't carry the project's .npmrc would hit that.
Accepting an off-registry tarball under the name it claims can only ever add findings, and a malicious package from an attacker's own host wouldn't match an advisory either way. So rejecting it swaps a possible false positive for a silent miss, which is the wrong trade for a scanner. We're keeping the current behaviour and I'm closing #1629 as decided against.
That one's on me for filing the issue that way. Your other two PRs are approved, and I'd be glad to see more from you.

What changed and why
Only infer an npm alias identity from a registry-shaped tarball when its URL belongs to the public npm registry or the configured registry for the target package. Match the configured origin and base path and retain the existing package and version checks.
Added regressions for off-registry URLs that reach the tarball fallback, including a lookalike hostname, an incorrect registry base path or port, and a credential-bearing URL. Also covered configured default and scoped registries. A one-line fetch mock typing correction keeps the changed-test type-check gate green.
Verification
Closes #1629
