From 5f8f2d3c41d22e5f3899d73d1f7f123d155fa147 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kjell Tore Guttormsen Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2026 14:10:53 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?fix(dep):=20B7=20=E2=80=94=20token-overlap=20ty?= =?UTF-8?q?posquat=20heuristic=20alongside=20Levenshtein?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Critical-review §2 B7 finding: pure Levenshtein <=2 misses the most common modern typosquat pattern — popular-name + token-injection suffix. Examples: lodash → lodash-utils (edit distance 6, not flagged pre-B7) react → react-helper (edit distance 7, not flagged pre-B7) express → express-wrapper (edit distance 8, not flagged pre-B7) Three coordinated edits: scanners/lib/string-utils.mjs - Adds tokenize(name): string[] splits on -/_, lowercases - Adds tokenOverlap(a, b): number intersection.size / min(|a|,|b|) - Adds TYPOSQUAT_SUSPICIOUS_TOKENS frozen list of common typosquat suffixes. Excludes language-extension tokens (js, jsx, ts, tsx) — the v7.0.0 allowlist contains `tsx` as a legit package and including the same token in the suspicious set creates a contradiction. Caught by the new allowlist-intersection-guard test. Also excludes 'pro' (legitimate edition marker). scanners/dep-auditor.mjs + scanners/supply-chain-recheck.mjs - New checkTyposquatTokenOverlap() helper — fires AFTER Levenshtein 1/2 branches, only when: 1. popular package's tokens ⊆ declared name's tokens (strict superset) 2. declared name has at least one suspicious suffix 3. popular package is in topCutoff window All three conditions required — conservative by design. Allowlist precedence preserved (existing 22 npm + 13 PyPI entries always pass). MEDIUM severity, NOT block. New finding title prefix: "Possible typosquatting via token-overlap". Tests: +21 cases across two new files - tests/lib/string-utils-tokens.test.mjs (15) — tokenize, tokenOverlap, TYPOSQUAT_SUSPICIOUS_TOKENS frozen contract, allowlist-intersection guard (caught the tsx conflict on first run) - tests/scanners/dep-token-overlap.test.mjs (7) — integration via in-memory tmpdir fixtures: lodash-utils flagged, react-helper flagged, express-wrapper flagged, lodash exact NOT flagged, allowlist tools (knip/tsx/nx/rimraf) NOT flagged, react-router-dom (no suspicious suffix) NOT flagged, react itself (equal token set, not superset) NOT flagged. Existing dep.test.mjs and supply-chain-recheck.test.mjs unchanged — all green (149 → 149 regression guard). Suite: 1570 → 1591 (+21).
