📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe supply-chain scanner now separates npm git dependencies from registry dependencies, resolves commits from Bun and npm lockfiles, and checks first-party and remote-reference rules before scanning remaining npm dependencies with guarddog.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to A contributor can edit package.json so that the supply-chain check runs an arbitrary command on the CI machine. Reject remotes that start with a hyphen and pass Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟠 High · up to A malicious dependency specification can bypass the intended first-party restriction and execute commands with the dependency-checking process’s permissions. The underlying weakness predates this change, but this PR exposes it through npm manifests. Ordinary ownership and pin checks do not stop this attack. Retained concerns

Injection
Reachability: External
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-88 — Improper Neutralization of Argument Delimiters in a Command ('Argument Injection')
Reject option-shaped remotes before invoking git ls-remote.
The npm path can pass a contributor-controlled remote to git ls-remote. For a dependency with a commit fragment or matching lock entry, a remote such as --upload-pack=touch /tmp/p;git-upload-pack://github.com/example-org/x passes the host and owner checks because both parsers find github.com/example-org.
ls_remote passes the value without --. Git treats it as --upload-pack, falls back to the configured remote, and executes the supplied upload-pack command. Add both protections:
🔒 Proposed fix
let remote = if let Some(url) = url.strip_prefix("git+") {
- url.to_owned()
+ if url.starts_with('-') {
+ return None;
+ }
+ url.to_owned()- .args(["ls-remote", remote])
+ .args(["ls-remote", "--", remote])🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

…te instead of asking npm guarddog npm verify asks npm for every name in a package.json's dependencies. A git dependency -- git+https://...#v0.1.0, github:owner/repo, the owner/repo shorthand -- names nothing npm holds, so guarddog answered a 404 and a repository depending on its own package by git exited 2 on every run, the npm half of what #275 fixed for uv. The manifest is now sorted before guarddog reads it. Its git dependencies come out and go through the same first-party rule and git ls-remote check as a uv git source, against the commit bun.lock or package-lock.json records (the manifest's directory first, then each one up to the root). A #<ref> that is a tag must point at that commit; one that is a branch is read as a bare commit some ref must point at. A git dependency no lock pins, whose # is not itself a commit, is refused by name. guarddog is handed the rest of the manifest, or the file itself where nothing came out, and is not asked at all where nothing is left.
…mote takes it after -- A manifest's remote reaches git ls-remote as written. One spelled --upload-pack=<command>;...://github.com/<owner>/x still parses as the forge and the declared owner, and git read it as --upload-pack and ran the command. check() now refuses a remote starting with - for uv and npm alike, and ls_remote passes -- before it, so git takes whatever reaches it as a repository.

One engine change since 1.23.0. supply-chain no longer hands an npm git dependency to guarddog, which asked npm for it and got a 404, so a repository depending on its own package by git exited 2 on every run. Each git dependency in a package.json's dependencies is held to the same first-party owner rule and git ls-remote check as a uv git source, against the commit bun.lock or package-lock.json records; a tag its #<ref> names must point at that commit. One with no recorded commit is refused by name, and guarddog reads the rest of the manifest (#290). A git remote spelled as an option (starting with -) is now refused for uv and npm alike, and git ls-remote takes the remote after --, so a manifest cannot hand git an --upload-pack command (#290). The tests assert every empty collection with a message that prints it, as Rust 1.99's clippy::assert_is_empty asks (#291). A consumer taking the pin to v1.24.0 needs no change. A repository whose package.json depends on a git source under another owner, or on one no lock pins, now fails the supply-chain section by name where it was could-not-look.
