Amended: my first commit reformatted the whole file from 2-space to 4-space indentation, which made the diff +78/-54. That was unrelated formatting noise and against the contributing guidance. The branch now keeps the file's original formatting, so the diff is +25/-1 — the |

GHSA-fr84-p27r-73vjhas an emptyaffectedarray, so the advisory carries no package or ecosystem mapping. This adds the npm package and the version range.I am the maintainer of the affected project.
Change
Plus one reference: the repository advisory I published for the same vulnerability, which is the public source for the range.
Why the range is
< 2.0.0The advisory text says "up to 1.5.0", which is correct but expressed against tags rather than the ecosystem.
1.5.0is the last1.xrelease on npm (1.0.0…1.5.0, 15 versions) and2.0.0is the next one, so "up to 1.5.0" and< 2.0.0describe the same set of published versions.2.0.0is where the fix landed: credentials moved out of CLI arguments to environment variables, config files and the SSH agent. That is recorded inGHSA-j4q8-xwr2-344g(< 2.0.0vulnerable,2.0.0patched) and in the project'sSECURITY.md, which lists "Credential leakage via CLI args (CWE-214)" against that mitigation.What this fixes downstream
With
affectedempty, the record is not reachable by ecosystem:and consumers that resolve npm packages see nothing. Verified against a genuinely affected version:
1.5.0is inside the range this advisory describes.Scope
One advisory, one change, no formatting edits. The
affectedarray is the only structural field touched; I have not modified thedetailstext, the CVSS vectors, the CWE ormodified.One thing I have deliberately left alone, in case you would rather handle it: the
detailstext ends "The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet." That was accurate when the record was created in April, and is no longer — the issue was fixed in2.0.0and a repository advisory was published on 2026-08-09. I have not rewritten another CNA's description, but I am happy to if you would prefer that in the same PR.
