audit: redact secrets in the registry URLs printed by bun audit and bun audit fix

[robobun]

Problem

• With a registry URL that carries a secret, bun audit and bun audit fix print it. With npm_config_registry=http://alice:s3cret@127.0.0.1:PORT/ and a registry answering 404, stderr is error: POST http://alice:s3cret@127.0.0.1:PORT/-/npm/v1/security/advisories/bulk - 404. A token in the registry path (http://host/npm_.../) is printed the same way, and reaches these lines from every config source, including .npmrc.
• Four outputs format the registry href verbatim (BStr::new), where the rest of the package manager formats such URLs with bun_core::fmt::redacted_npm_url (Npm::response_error in src/install/npm.rs, the verbose request trace in src/http/lib.rs, bun pm whoami):
  • src/runtime/cli/audit_command.rs send_audit_request: the POST <url> - <status or error> line (the repro above).
  • src/runtime/cli/audit_command.rs report_non_json_response: <registry> returned a non-JSON audit response, reached from the report, --json and audit fix paths.
  • src/install/audit_fix.rs print_unaudited: warn: <registry> did not answer the audit request (<reason>); skipped <packages>, printed by both commands for a scoped registry that failed.
  • src/install/audit_fix/json.rs: the registry field of each unaudited entry in bun audit fix --json.
• The href is scope.url.href() as configured (AuditRegistry::from_scope; unaudited() copies it into the UnauditedRegistry record behind the last two outputs). .npmrc and bunfig registry strings move user:password@ out of it while loading, the bunfig object form, the registry env vars and --registry keep it (install: send credentials embedded in --registry and registry env var URLs #38796 and install: send credentials embedded in a registry URL that comes from an env var #38834 change the latter two), and a token in the path stays in it in every case.
• The 1.3.x binaries print audit request failed (status N) without a URL; the URL in these lines came with the audit rewrite in install: pnpm parity — dedupe, prune, pm licenses, audit fix, add --filter/--catalog, nested overrides, transitive update, and workspace fixes #38333, so this has not shipped in a release.

Fix

• The POST line and report_non_json_response format the URL with redacted_npm_url: these quote the request URL, so they get the same masked form as the manifest and tarball error lines (http://alice:******@host/..., path token as ***). AuditRegistry.href itself stays raw because it is also what the request is sent to.
• The skipped-registry record names a registry rather than quoting a request, so unaudited() builds it from href_without_auth() (trailing slash stripped), the same form bun publish prints as its registry: credentials written into the URL are left out instead of masked, and the record reads the same whichever config source the scope came from (http://host:PORT, matching what .npmrc scopes already produced). Its two emitters, the warning and the --json field, format it with redacted_npm_url for tokens in the path (http://host:PORT/***); the --json value is rendered into a buffer first because the JSON string writer takes bytes. The unaudited array is new in install: pnpm parity — dedupe, prune, pm licenses, audit fix, add --filter/--catalog, nested overrides, transitive update, and workspace fixes #38333, so nothing depends on the raw form.
• For a URL without a password, UUID or npm_ token the output is byte for byte unchanged; the 177 existing tests in bun-audit.test.ts, many of which assert these exact lines with plain URLs, still pass.
• Not touched, same class elsewhere: bun audit fix's was not checked for updates lines repeat the install log's GET <url> - <status> text, which install: redact secrets in the URLs printed for failed manifest and tarball downloads #38817 redacts at its source; the registry URL lines in src/install/NetworkTask.rs (Failed to join registry ..., ... is not on registry ...) and src/install/pnpm.rs (fetching pnpm registry ... from <url>) are install-side and have been filed separately. This PR and install: redact secrets in the URLs printed for failed manifest and tarball downloads #38817 touch disjoint files.
• Tests: test/cli/install/bun-audit.test.ts, new bun audit with a secret in the registry URL block, one test per output: the POST line, the non-JSON line from the response check, the non-JSON line from the parse step in report, --json and fix mode, the skipped-registry warning and unaudited[].registry with a token in the registry path (.npmrc scope), and the same two outputs with user:password@ in the URL (bunfig object-form scope, which keeps it), asserting the credential-free form. The path-token cases use a token rather than a password because a token reaches the audit command from every config source; the credential case asserts the stripped form, which stays true once install: send credentials embedded in --registry and registry env var URLs #38796 / install: send credentials embedded in a registry URL that comes from an env var #38834 strip credentials earlier, so this PR does not depend on their landing order. All five fail on this branch with src/ stashed (the token or password is printed); the credential case also fails with only the unaudited() hunk removed (it then prints alice:******@), and the --json case with only the json.rs hunk removed; all 182 tests in the file pass with the change.
• Also ran cargo clippy -p bun_install -p bun_runtime, cargo fmt --check on both crates, and test/internal/source-lints.

Background

• bun audit POSTs the lockfile's package versions to <registry>/-/npm/v1/security/advisories/bulk. Packages whose scope (@foo/*) is configured with its own registry are sent to that registry instead; when a non-default registry fails to answer (HTTP error, connection error, non-JSON body) its packages are reported as skipped (one UnauditedRegistry record per registry, printed as the warning and, by audit fix --json, as the unaudited entries) rather than failing the command, while a failure from the default registry fails the command with the POST or non-JSON line.
• redacted_npm_url (src/bun_core/fmt.rs) is a Display adapter over URL bytes: the password of scheme://user:password@host is written as one * per byte (the per-byte form is shared with the config-excerpt redactor, which needs column alignment), and any UUID or npm_/npms_ token anywhere in the string as ***; everything else is written through unchanged. Output::err_generic, warn! and pretty_errorln! take any Display argument, so it is a drop-in replacement for BStr::new (err_generic's {s}/{f} placeholder letters are cosmetic; {f} is what the other redacted_npm_url call site uses).
• URL::href_without_auth() (src/url/lib.rs) rebuilds scheme://host[:port]/path/ from the parsed URL, dropping any userinfo; it is what the config loaders use to store a registry URL whose credentials were split out, and what bun publish prints as Registry:. It currently yields http://host// for a root-path registry (url: emit a single slash in href_without_auth() for root-path registry URLs #38812 changes that to one slash); unaudited() strips trailing slashes afterwards, so the record is http://host:PORT either way. Tokens that are part of the path survive it, which is why the record's emitters still go through redacted_npm_url.

Earlier revision of this PR

The first revision applied redacted_npm_url to the UnauditedRegistry record as well, so for the config sources that keep credentials in the URL the warning and the --json field came out as http://alice:******@host (username and password length, and a different shape from the .npmrc case, which had no userinfo to begin with). Review pointed out that every other place bun emits a registry URL as data drops the credentials instead; the record is now built with href_without_auth() and the per-byte masking is confined to the two lines that quote the request URL.

Status: folded into #38183 (its head merges this branch: the three stderr sites, the href_without_auth() skipped-registry record and the five tests in bun-audit.test.ts carry over unchanged), so this PR is closed and the fix lands there.

• Reproduced on a debug build of main (a5c86aec74): with a registry URL carrying alice:s3cret@ and an npm_ token in its path, bun audit printed both in the POST ... - 404 line and the non-JSON line, and bun audit / bun audit fix --json printed the path token in the skipped-registry warning and in unaudited[].registry.
• Related: install: redact secrets in the URLs printed for failed manifest and tarball downloads #38817 covers the install-side GET / failed to download lines; the remaining raw registry URL lines in src/install/NetworkTask.rs and src/install/pnpm.rs have been filed separately.

[claude]

LGTM — swaps four verbatim registry-URL print sites for the existing redacted_npm_url formatter, matching what npm.rs, http/lib.rs and pm whoami already do.

What was reviewed:

• Confirmed {s} → {f} in err_generic is cosmetic (substitute_template ignores the placeholder text between braces).
• Checked AuditRegistry.href stays raw for the request itself; redaction is applied only at the print sites.
• Verified the JSON hunk renders through write! into a buffer before s() JSON-escapes it, so escaping is unchanged.
• Tests are hermetic (port: 0), concurrent, drain pipes, and use a path token so they hold regardless of which config layer strips user:pass@.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

Four output sites in bun audit / bun audit fix print the configured registry URL verbatim: the failed POST … - <status> line and the returned a non-JSON audit response line in audit_command.rs, the did not answer the audit request warning in audit_fix.rs::print_unaudited, and the unaudited[].registry field in audit_fix/json.rs. Each is changed from BStr::new(&href) to bun_core::fmt::redacted_npm_url(&href). Four new test.concurrent cases in bun-audit.test.ts cover each path with an npm_… token in the registry path.

Security risks

This is a security improvement: registry URLs configured via env vars or .npmrc can carry a password (user:pass@) or a path token (npm_…), and these lines reach stderr and --json stdout, which typically end up in CI logs. The redaction helper is the same one already used for install error lines, the verbose HTTP trace, and bun pm whoami, so no new redaction logic is introduced. AuditRegistry.href is left raw because it is also what the request is sent to; redaction is applied only where the URL is formatted for output. No new inputs are parsed and no security check is loosened.

Level of scrutiny

Low. This is a mechanical formatter swap at four print sites, following an established in-tree pattern with three existing call sites. The {s} → {f} template change in err_generic is cosmetic — substitute_template in output.rs consumes any {…} placeholder identically via write_nth. For URLs without a password, UUID or npm_/npms_ token the formatter writes bytes through unchanged, so the 177 existing assertions on these exact lines with plain URLs are unaffected.

Other factors

The JSON hunk renders the Display adapter into a Vec<u8> before handing it to s(), which is format_json_string_utf8 — so JSON escaping still happens on the final bytes. The new tests use local Bun.serve({ port: 0 }) registries, spread bunEnv, drain stdout/stderr/exited concurrently, assert output before exit code, and reuse the file's existing skippedWarning/registryHref/noVulnerabilities helpers and module-level server. The token is placed in the path (rather than user:pass@) so the tests remain valid regardless of which config loader strips URL credentials, including after #38796. No prior human reviews or outstanding comments on the PR.

LGTM — swaps four BStr::new(url) sites in the audit output paths for the shared redacted_npm_url formatter, and builds the UnauditedRegistry record from href_without_auth().

What was reviewed:

• The four changed emitters (send_audit_request POST line, report_non_json_response, print_unaudited, json.rs unaudited entry) all hand the whole URL to the same formatter used by Npm::response_error and the http trace; {s}→{f} in err_generic is cosmetic (substitute_template ignores the letter between braces).
• unaudited() re-parses request.registry.href and strips trailing slashes, so the record is stable across #38812's double-slash change; AuditRegistry.href itself stays raw for the actual request.
• New tests are hermetic (Bun.serve({port:0})), test.concurrent, and reuse the file-level server fixture as the default registry (which has a {} fixture entry) so the scoped-registry-only projects don't fail on the default request.
• Comment-cop and CodeRabbit threads are both addressed and resolved.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

Four output sites in bun audit / bun audit fix that print a registry URL are changed from BStr::new(&url) to bun_core::fmt::redacted_npm_url(&url), the same Display adapter already used by src/install/npm.rs:252, src/http/lib.rs:1443, and bun pm whoami for identical lines. The unaudited() helper additionally rebuilds the stored registry href via URL::href_without_auth() (already used by bun publish and the config loaders) plus without_trailing_slash, so the skipped-registry record and its two emitters (the warning and audit fix --json's unaudited[].registry) drop URL userinfo entirely rather than masking it. A one-line doc on UnauditedRegistry.registry records the invariant. Five new test.concurrent cases in bun-audit.test.ts cover every changed line: the POST error, the non-JSON error via the response check and via the parse step in report/--json/fix mode, and the skipped-registry warning + --json field for both a path token (.npmrc scope) and user:password@ (bunfig object-form scope).

Security risks

None introduced — the change only redacts. AuditRegistry.href (what the request is actually sent to) is untouched, so auth still reaches the registry; only what is printed to stderr/stdout changes. For URLs without a token, UUID, or password the output is byte-identical, which the 177 pre-existing tests in the file (many asserting these exact lines with plain URLs) constrain.

Level of scrutiny

Low-to-medium. The diff is a mechanical formatter swap plus one href_without_auth() call, all landing on shared, already-tested helpers. I verified redacted_npm_url takes &[u8] and returns a Display type, that err_generic's {s}/{f} placeholder letter is ignored by substitute_template (output.rs:1881), that href_without_auth() exists and returns Box<[u8]>, and that the test helpers (server, registryHref, skippedWarning, noVulnerabilities, AUDIT_HEADER, Registry) referenced by the new block are all defined at file scope with an empty-body fixture registered so the default-registry request from a scoped-only project succeeds.

Other factors

Both automated review threads are resolved: the comment-cop paragraph comment was replaced by a one-line field doc in 29dac3a, and CodeRabbit withdrew its npms_/UUID coverage suggestion after the author explained the shared formatter handles those. The PR description documents that each new test fails with src/ stashed and that the whole 182-test file passes with the change, that the credential test also fails with only the unaudited() hunk reverted, and that landing order relative to #38796/#38812/#38817/#38834 is independent. The robobun CI-failure comment is on the first commit (97ec208); two follow-up commits address the review feedback and CI will re-run on those.

[Jarred-Sumner]

Folded into #38183 (rebased on main after #38796) so the registry-URL changes land together.
