`socket pnpm install` fabricates alerts for packages not in the tree: pnpm v9 lockfile keys are truncated at the first underscore

使用所示的 pnpm v9 lockfile 重现该问题，然后检查 dist/utils.js 中的 stripPnpmPeerSuffix，以及它在 dist/shadow-pnpm-bin2.js 中通过 extractPurlsFromPnpmLockfile 和 getAlertsMapFromPnpmLockfile 的使用情况。完成的标准是：名称包含下划线的软件包在提交的 purls 中保留其完整名称和版本，针对相关的 lockfile 格式仍能处理 peer 后缀，并且重现过程不再报告无关的 string alert。

Summary

The pnpm shadow wrapper's lockfile scan mangles the name of any package whose name contains an underscore, submitting a purl for a different, unrelated package. In any pnpm-v9 project that depends on string_decoder (i.e. effectively every project, via readable-stream), socket pnpm install reports a High CVE for string@3.3.3 — a package that is not in the dependency tree at all — and exits 1.

Mechanism

stripPnpmPeerSuffix truncates a lockfile package key at the first ( or _:

function stripPnpmPeerSuffix(depPath) {
  const parenIndex = depPath.indexOf('(');
  const index = parenIndex === -1 ? depPath.indexOf('_') : parenIndex;
  return index === -1 ? depPath : depPath.slice(0, index);
}

The _ case is the pnpm lockfile v5 peer-suffix convention (/foo/1.0.0_bar@2.0.0). In lockfile v9, package keys are plain name@version, where _ is an ordinary legal character in npm package names. So extractPurlsFromPnpmLockfile maps:

The batch purl endpoint resolves the versionless pkg:npm/string to the real (unrelated) string package, whose latest version 3.3.3 carries a High CVE — which the wrapper's default filter treats as fatal, regardless of org policy. The other two mangled names happen not to resolve to alerting packages, which is why only string@3.3.3 surfaces.

Reproduction

mkdir repro && cd repro
npm init -y > /dev/null
printf 'lockfileVersion: "9.0"\npackages:\n  string_decoder@1.3.0:\n    resolution: {integrity: sha512-zOgAKMkjXbleOl9U5k7DBVdNwCRJW8ANhbJpEbriDmqu3nrOJPVHHqAmU7hBVBkoGuZbSpUnGdgOSg74RSPikw==}\nsnapshots:\n  string_decoder@1.3.0:\n    dependencies:\n      safe-buffer: 5.2.1\n' > pnpm-lock.yaml
SOCKET_CLI_DEBUG=1 DEBUG='*' socket pnpm install 2>&1 | grep -A5 purls
# → purls include 'pkg:npm/string' (no version), and the run fails on string@3.3.3's High CVE

(Alternatively: any real pnpm-v9 project with string_decoder in its lockfile reproduces it — we hit it in a 1,500-package workspace.)

Versions

Observed identical in @socketsecurity/cli@1.1.85, socket@1.1.143, and socket@1.1.155 (latest as of 2026-08-08): dist/utils.js stripPnpmPeerSuffix, reached via extractPurlsFromPnpmLockfile → getAlertsMapFromPnpmLockfile in dist/shadow-pnpm-bin2.js's install path.

Suggested fix

Only apply the _ truncation to v5-style dep paths (those beginning with / and using /name/version shape), or key the suffix-stripping on the lockfile's lockfileVersion. For v9 name@version keys, peer suffixes only ever appear in parentheses.

Impact

• socket pnpm install fails spuriously (exit 1) for effectively any pnpm-v9 tree containing an underscore-named package that maps onto an alerting package name.
• The submitted purl set silently omits the real packages (string_decoder, evp_bytestokey, @types/babel__* are never actually checked).
