Closes #634.

What

.github/scripts/vuln-gate.mjs hand-dispatched on ecosystem in four places: the ECOSYSTEMS set, reportProblem's if/else, main()'s arg check, and the parser pick. The parser pick was a two-way ternary, so an ecosystem that cleared the arg check but was not wired into the ternary was silently parsed as NuGet.

One frozen PARSERS registry now maps ecosystem → { parse, reportProblem }. Everything else derives from its keys:

  • ECOSYSTEMS = registry keys + "any". "any" stays an exception scope and is never parseable, as the issue requires.
  • Both usage strings and the exceptionProblem message list the names from the registry.
  • main() picks the parser through resolveParser, which refuses an unknown name and a half-wired entry rather than defaulting.
  • registryProblem is asserted at module load, so a broken registry cannot run at all.

Every exported function stays exported with the same signature. One behaviour change, in the fail-closed direction: reportProblem(report, "pypi") returns a problem where it used to return null.

Guard, mutation first

The issue asks for a test that a registry entry with no parser makes the gate refuse to run, and says "npm and nuget still work" is insufficient because it passes with the bug present. Four mutants, each killed by the test that names it:

Mutant Red on
resolveParser falls through to registry.nuget half-wired refusal, unknown-ecosystem, reportProblem unresolvable, CLI unknown --ecosystem
registryProblem always returns null registryProblem naming, half-wired refusal
reportProblem returns null on an unresolvable ecosystem reportProblem unresolvable
nuget removed from PARSERS 7 tests including the registry-shape test

Baseline: 39 pass, 0 fail. The four previously hand-written sites no longer name an ecosystem (grep -E '=== *"(npm|nuget)"' returns nothing).

Real-input smoke

Out of scope, per the issue: the gate()-level --level residual from #529. Not epic-tracked, per the issue.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Vulnerability scanning now validates ecosystem support explicitly.
    • Unknown or incomplete ecosystem configurations produce clear errors instead of defaulting to NuGet.
    • Ecosystem names are handled consistently regardless of letter casing.
    • Improved validation for vulnerability reports and command-line usage.
    • Invalid parser or ecosystem names, including reserved property names, are rejected safely.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for ecosystem support, parser configuration, validation, and invalid command usage.

…ith a PARSERS registry

vuln-gate.mjs named "npm" and "nuget" by hand in four places that had to
move together: the ECOSYSTEMS set, reportProblem's if/else, main's arg
check, and the parser pick. The last was a two-way ternary with no third
branch, so an ecosystem that cleared the arg check but was not wired into
the ternary was parsed as NuGet: wrong findings, green gate.

One frozen PARSERS registry now maps ecosystem to its parse and
reportProblem functions. The exception-scope set, both usage strings, the
arg check, the shape check and the parser pick all derive from its keys.
"any" stays an exception scope without being a parseable ecosystem.

registryProblem names a half-wired entry, is asserted at module load, and
resolveParser refuses both a half-wired entry and an unknown name instead
of defaulting. Every previously exported function stays exported with the
same signature; reportProblem now returns a problem for an ecosystem it
cannot check where it used to return null.

Tests: 39 pass. Mutations, each dying on the test that names it: the
parser pick falling through to nuget, registryProblem always null,
reportProblem ignoring an unresolvable ecosystem, and nuget dropped from
the registry.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The vulnerability gate now uses a validated PARSERS registry for ecosystem resolution, report validation, usage text, CLI checks, and parser selection. Tests cover supported, incomplete, unknown, case-insensitive, and inherited ecosystem handling.

Changes

Vulnerability Gate Parser Registry

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validated parser registry
.github/scripts/vuln-gate.mjs
PARSERS validates parser and report-validator entries. resolveParser rejects unknown and inherited properties. Ecosystem names and exception scopes derive from the registry.
Registry-based validation and parsing
.github/scripts/vuln-gate.mjs
Exception validation, report validation, CLI checks, usage text, and main parsing use registry resolution and ecosystem-specific validators.
Registry and CLI coverage
.github/scripts/vuln-gate.test.mjs
Tests cover registry wiring, freezing, incomplete registries, case-insensitive resolution, inherited names, report validation, exception scopes, and unknown CLI ecosystems.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 08e0a

The vulnerability gate now derives supported ecosystem handling from a validated parser registry while preserving npm and NuGet operation and failing closed for invalid ecosystems. No current merge-blocking risk is identified.

registry before reading registry[name], so inherited names such as constructor
are rejected and follow the existing invalid-ecosystem/CLI usage error path.

Comment thread .github/scripts/vuln-gate.mjs Resolved
registry["constructor"] is the inherited Object function, truthy, so a
lookup by index passed it through and the gate crashed on .reportProblem
instead of printing the usage error. Own-property check; the test walks
constructor, toString, __proto__ and hasOwnProperty.
