Redacted credentials from the OSV endpoint in every user-visible output: the advisory-source line, batch and detail query error messages, debug logging, and JSON/HTML/SARIF reporters now print https://***@host instead of https://user:password@host.
Added upfront validation that rejects an --osv-url containing credentials with a clear message to remove them, since Node’s fetch cannot use credentialed URLs.
Added tests covering redaction on terminal output and the error path.

Summary
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Credentials embedded in OSV URLs are masked in debug logs, error messages, and displayed advisory sources.
The --osv-url option rejects URLs containing a username or password. Invalid URL errors no longer echo the supplied value.
Credentials in command-line arguments are masked in startup debug logs.
Vulnerability lookup errors continue to show numeric HTTP status values.
Credential masking also covers URL-shaped text and malformed URLs.
OSV URLs with credentials are rejected during option validation. Credential redaction applies to displayed endpoint labels, debug logs, and OSV request diagnostics, including wrapped errors.
The new helpers redact credentials from URLs and URL-like text. validateOptions rejects OSV URLs with a username or password and uses a generic error for invalid URLs. Tests cover redaction, rejection, and updated error messages.
Displayed labels and debug arguments src/index.ts, src/output/formatters.ts, src/scan/single-scan.ts, src/scanner.ts, tests/output.test.ts
Batch and vulnerability-fetch request and response logs redact URL credentials. Failure logs and wrapped errors redact credentials in URLs and error text. Tests cover both error paths.
Credentialed OSV URLs are now rejected with a clear message for scans, and displayed output redacts credentials. The overrides command skips this check, so users there get a generic failure rather than guidance. This is a small, low-risk gap that is safe to fix before or shortly after merge.

Explanation
The title uses the required form "fix: ...", with a lowercase description and no trailing period. It names the main change: redacting credentials from OSV URLs. The changeset redacts credentials in output, logs, and errors, and adds validation for credentialed --osv-url values, so the title matches the main change.

The description follows the repository template. It has the "What changed and why" heading, a summary of the change, and a "Closes #1642" line. It covers redaction in all user-visible outputs, the new upfront validation for credentialed URLs, and the added tests. The linked issue matches the stated scope, so the description is complete.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
I checked the direct requirements of #1642 against the reviewed head. The current head changes two key pieces. In src/utils/validate-url.ts, redactUrlCredentials replaces the authority credentials with ***. For example, https://user:***REDACTED_URI_PASSWORD***@127.0.0.1:9 becomes https://***@127.0.0.1:9, which matches the issue example. redactCredentialsInText applies the same logic to URL-shaped substrings in text. In src/cli/validate.ts, validateOptions parses --osv-url and rejects any URL with a username or password. The error text tells the user to remove the credentials and retry. The summary also shows redaction at the advisory-source line (src/scanner.ts, src/output/formatters.ts), in batch and vulnerability errors and debug logs (src/advisory/osv-advisory-source.ts), and in debug-log arguments (src/index.ts, src/scan/single-scan.ts). Tests cover terminal source-line redaction, the error path, and the credentialed-URL rejection (tests/output.test.ts, tests/osv-advisory-source.test.ts, tests/validate.test.ts). For JSON and SARIF, the earlier review found that these reporters do not emit the OSV URL. For HTML, the earlier review found no OSV URL field in ReportData. I did not trace every HTML note or warning string again. Cache-key hashing is unchanged, as the issue requires. The whole-PR diff for the two core files matches the summary.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
Each changed area ties to the redaction or validation work in #1642. The changes cover the new redaction helpers in src/utils/validate-url.ts, the URL validation in src/cli/validate.ts, and the call sites that print or log the endpoint (src/scanner.ts, src/output/formatters.ts, src/index.ts, src/scan/single-scan.ts, src/advisory/osv-advisory-source.ts). The test edits support these changes. The PackageRef typing in tests/output.test.ts, the DNS mock callback change in tests/validate-url.test.ts, and the updated invalid-URL wording in the integration and e2e tests follow from the new error text. I found no unrelated production change. The malformed-URL fallback in redactUrlCredentials is part of the same redaction work. This verdict rests on the whole-PR summary and the two focused diffs. I did not re-read every changed file.
Full details: Linked Issue
Explanation
I checked the PR description for PR #1644 in OWASP/cve-lite-cli. It contains "Closes #1642". That is one of the accepted keywords (Closes, Fixes, Resolves, Refs) followed by an issue number. The linked issue #1642 is the direct issue for this work, which matches the description's intent. The check passes on this text alone. I did not need code evidence, because the check only tests whether the PR body references an issue.
Full details: Closes Keyword Matches Scope
Explanation
The PR body uses "Closes #1642", so I read that issue and checked the diff against its requirements. Issue #1642 asks for three things: 1. Redaction everywhere the OSV endpoint is printed. Covered: - Advisory source line: src/scanner.ts:107 uses redactUrlCredentials, and src/output/formatters.ts:48 applies redactCredentialsInText before formatting. - Batch and detail error messages: src/advisory/osv-advisory-source.ts:109 and :163 wrap the base URL with redactUrlCredentials. Wrapped messages and stacks are redacted at lines 102–108 and 154–160. - Debug log: src/scan/single-scan.ts:122–125 logs the redacted URL. src/index.ts:91 redacts argv in the startup debug log. - Other outputs (JSON, HTML, SARIF): no changed file touches these writers. My searches found no code path that writes the OSV endpoint into them. The SBOM test (tests/output/sbom-advisory-metadata.test.ts:21) also asserts that the custom osvUrl is omitted. Under the issue's wording ("any other output that includes it"), there is nothing to redact there. 2. Ideally, refuse credentialed URLs up front. Delivered. src/cli/validate.ts:69–79 rejects --osv-url values with a username or password. The error text tells the user to remove them. Malformed URLs get a generic message that does not echo the input. 3. Tests for terminal output and the error path. Delivered: - tests/output.test.ts:140–145 checks the redacted advisory source line. - tests/osv-advisory-source.test.ts:101–116 and :182–189 check batch and vuln-fetch error messages. - tests/validate.test.ts:57–74 covers the credential rejection and the no-echo path. Note for the author: the PR description says the JSON, HTML and SARIF reporters now print https://***@host. No diff touches those files, so that statement is not backed by the change set. This does not affect the check, but the description should be corrected. I did not run the test suite, because the sandbox cannot build the project. The verdict rests on source inspection.
Full details: No New Runtime Dependency
Explanation
I'm glad to report that this PR does not touch any dependency manifest. The changed-file list for the reviewed range has 13 files, all under src/ or tests/. Neither package.json nor package-lock.json appears in it. git diff on both files returns no output, so no entry under dependencies or optionalDependencies was added. No package moved from devDependencies to dependencies. The head package.json lists five runtime dependencies (better-sqlite3, fflate, semver, yaml, yarn-lockfile), and the base has the same set because the file has no diff. The new helpers redactUrlCredentials and redactCredentialsInText are hand-written in src/utils/validate-url.ts, so the PR adds no new package. The check passes.

Prevent credentials with quotes or spaces from reaching the error output.
If the input is https://user:***REDACTED_URI_PASSWORD***@host:99999/, URL parsing fails and this regex does not match across the quote. src/cli/validate.ts then prints the unchanged password in the validation error. I suggest using a conservative fallback that does not return credential-bearing input when parsing fails.
As per path instructions: “correctness of what a finding says matters more than style.”

Avoid echoing malformed URLs without //.
A user can expose a password with --osv-url 'https:user:secret@host:99999/'. Parsing fails, neither regex matches, and src/cli/validate.ts prints the original value in the error. I recommend omitting the raw value for unparseable URLs rather than relying on a scheme pattern.

Reviewed against every surface #1642 lists, and the coverage is complete:
Advisory source line — redacted at creation (scanner.ts) and defensively in formatAdvisorySourceLine, so any consumer of sourceLabel (terminal or file output) gets the safe value.
Batch and detail errors — both thrown messages redact the endpoint, and both wrap extractErrorMessage() so a message that embeds the URL is covered too. The debug request/response/failure payloads redact url, message and stack, and the CLI argv debug log is redacted in index.ts. That last one matters: --debug printed the raw flag value before this.
Refusal up front — assertOsvUrlHasNoCredentials runs before validateOsvUrl, so nothing is fetched with credentials, which matches what the issue asks for.
Tests — the batch-error test uses an error message containing the URL, which is the realistic leak vector, and asserts the whole debug call list is free of the secret. The malformed-port case (user:p@ss@host:99999) is a good edge to pin.
Two small notes, neither blocking:
The last-resort branch returns ${scheme}*** for any unparseable URL-shaped input that has no matchable userinfo@. That is the right call when there may be a secret, but it also fires for harmless malformed URLs — e.g. could not reach https://[::1 would print could not reach https://***, dropping the host and path the user needs to debug. Suggest only collapsing when the authority slice actually contains an @; otherwise return the original.
Invalid --osv-url value: not a valid URL. no longer echoes the value at all. That is the safe choice and I would keep it, but it is a real debuggability trade-off, so it is worth a line in the PR description.
The assertOsvUrlHasNoCredentials message could include the redacted URL for supportability, but that is cosmetic.
