v1.41.0. A security fix for custom OSV endpoints, three silent false negatives, and the first steps of experimental Python support.

A custom --osv-url was validated once at startup and then looked up again by the request, so a hostname whose DNS changed in between could pass with a public address and connect to a private one (GHSA-mrvp-qgq4-c66g, reported privately and fixed by @vianmangal). Every connection to a custom host now resolves the name itself and connects only to the addresses it checked.

Three ways a vulnerable tree used to pass --fail-on high: a package installed under an npm alias was looked up by its alias name (#1450, @vianmangal), packages imported only from .mts or .cts files were dropped under --only-used (#1445, @vianmangal), and a vulnerable npm-shrinkwrap.json beside a clean package-lock.json was ignored at the root and in nested folders (#1485, #1495, @vianmangal). A partial scan also no longer writes a SARIF log that reads as clean (#1439).

Remediation only offers a within-range update when every parent accepts it (#1458, closes #1291), and no longer offers a parent upgrade another dependency would undo (#1470). Shrinkwrap is a full npm lockfile everywhere (#1422), the override rules read the same lockfile the scan reads (#1506), and --fix builds commands as argument lists so a workspace path cannot smuggle in a second command (#1387, @alex-powell).

PyPI versions are read and ordered by PEP 440 (#1397) and package URLs are built per ecosystem (#1398), both @alex-powell. No Python lockfile is scanned yet.

Also: --output - and file-path --output (#1460, #1429, @Nachiket-Roy), dev versus production scope in SPDX and CycloneDX (#1487, #1488, @Nachiket-Roy), the shareable --debug bundle (#1330, @pintu544), the verified parent-upgrade chain in --json (#1331, @bhushan4work), the Node 22 floor (#1365, @prx-my), atomic advisories sync (#1483, @vianmangal), and a long run of flag-value guards from @alex-powell, @prx-my, @AnKiT-GaRG2, @ZiadEwis and @rqms40.

Accuracy sweep against this build: CopilotKit, 4,367 packages extracted against 4,367 reported, 145 vulnerable per OSV, 145 reported, zero missed, zero extra, zero advisory-id disagreements.

The site may briefly advertise v1.41.0 before it is available on npm. This is a bounded release-ordering risk and does not by itself block merging.

Explanation

Users receive v1.41.0 release information through the changelog and website. The summarized changes update the release notes, package version, and website version. I found no unrelated changes in the whole-PR summary. The incremental diff was unavailable, so I used the supplied whole-PR summary.

Full details: Closes Keyword Matches Scope

Explanation

The body says the within-range remediation change closes #1291. That issue requires each listed target to move when the command runs, or not appear in that section. The reviewed code checks every parent range before offering a within-range update, and tests cover pinned parents, deeper dependency chains, and safe targets accepted by all parents. The release changelog also records this behavior.

Matching overrides (numbered as in the resolved configuration):

• Override 1 — any author; paths: .github/**, action.yml, package.json, package-lock.json, tsconfig*.json, jest.config.*, scripts/**; automatic approvals: disabled.

Any matching disabled override withholds approval, regardless of risk. Otherwise, the strictest explicitly set limit wins for each score. Limits omitted by all matching overrides inherit the global configuration.

Not set means no limit was configured after inheritance. Use @coderabbitai configuration to inspect the resolved settings and their sources.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @CHANGELOG.md:
- Line 19: Update the `--debug` release note to clarify that debug bundles
retain package names and workspace patterns, so they may expose
project-identifying information; do not describe them as safe for unrestricted
public attachment.
- Line 46: Update the changelog entry to clarify that a caret range with a
concrete patch, such as ^0.0.3, does not allow the next patch; do not imply that
the ^0.0.x range pins patch upgrades.

Review comments at @website/docusaurus.config.ts:
- Line 5: The latestVersion label may advertise a release before it is available
on npm. Update the latestVersion configuration in docusaurus.config.ts to derive
the displayed version from the published npm version rather than hardcoding the
planned release, using an established source of publication data.
