Places where cooldown or the denylist let versions through. Found in a bug sweep of main.

• npm tarball with a stale packument. With cache_metadata on, a packument cached within metadata_ttl can predate a release. versionData then found no entry, the publish time was empty, and versionInCooldown allowed the version, so a lockfile npm ci got a tarball inside cooldown, fetched without integrity. When cooldown applies and the cached packument lacks the version, the packument is now fetched again and the version decided on what upstream lists, as the Composer handler does. If that fetch fails or only the stale copy comes back, the download is refused, as when a publish time can't be read. Without cooldown nothing changes.
• npm dist-tags. Cooldown only moved latest, so tags like next kept naming held-back versions while the denylist already removed such tags (and handleDistTags documents that a tag never names one). They are now removed in both the in-memory and streamed rewrites, and latest is removed when no version is left.
• PyPI simple JSON. Filtered versions stayed in the PEP 700 versions list although their files were removed. They are removed from it now.
• pub latest. latest.archive_url still pointed at pub.dev, a held-back latest was replaced with the last list entry (possibly a prerelease), and it stayed when every version was held back. latest now gets the proxy's archive_url, and a held-back one becomes the newest stable version left, else the newest prerelease, else is removed.
• Conda timestamps. Every timestamp was divided by 1000, but some repodata entries are in seconds (6 of 389,862 in conda-forge's noarch today), which put them in 1970 and past cooldown. Values at or below 253402300799 are now read as seconds, as conda does.
• Denylist distro namespaces. Handlers name deb/rpm packages without a vendor and apk/alpm with one, but the denylist kept the namespace as written, so pkg:deb/debian/curl@… (the standard form) and pkg:apk/busybox@… never matched. The namespace is now dropped for alpm, apk, bsd, deb and rpm, using the same distro set as inventory.
• Denylist epochs. Debian and RPM filenames omit the epoch, so an entry like pkg:deb/foo@1:2.3-1, written as the APT pinning docs suggest, never matched. An entry with an epoch now also matches the version without it.

docs/configuration.md is updated for each.

Tests: TestNPMTarballCooldownRefetchesStalePackument, TestNPMRewriteCooldownDropsTags, TestPyPISimpleJSONFiltersVersions, TestPubRewriteMetadataLatest, TestCondaCooldownSecondTimestamps, TestDistroNamespaces and TestDistroEpochs each fail on main and pass here.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Cooldown filtering now handles Conda timestamps expressed in seconds or milliseconds.
  • npm metadata removes tags that point to withheld versions. Tarball requests refresh package information when a version is missing and fail closed if refresh fails.
  • pub.dev metadata selects the newest eligible stable version for latest, falls back to a prerelease when needed, and omits latest if all versions are held back.
  • PyPI listings exclude withheld versions from version lists and file listings.
  • Denylist matching accounts for equivalent distribution namespaces and Debian/RPM version epochs.
• Documentation
  • Clarified cooldown behavior and package-specific filtering rules.

Walkthrough

The changes update cooldown filtering for Conda, npm, pub.dev, and PyPI. They also add distro namespace equivalence and Debian/RPM epoch matching to denylist comparisons.

Changes: Package cooldown handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Conda timestamp interpretation internal/handler/conda.go, internal/handler/conda_shards.go, internal/handler/conda_test.go, docs/configuration.md	Conda repodata timestamps above 253402300799 are interpreted as milliseconds; lower or equal values are interpreted as seconds. Tests cover both formats in cooldown filtering and index reads.
npm and pub.dev metadata tags internal/metadata/npm/metadata.go, internal/metadata/npm/metadata_test.go, internal/handler/pub.go, internal/handler/pub_test.go, docs/configuration.md	npm removes non-latest tags that point to withheld versions and updates latest. pub.dev selects the newest remaining stable version, falls back to a prerelease, or removes latest when no version remains.
npm tarball metadata refetch internal/handler/handler.go, internal/handler/metadata_stored.go, internal/handler/npm.go, internal/handler/npm_attestations.go, internal/handler/npm_tarball_test.go, docs/configuration.md	When cached npm metadata lacks a requested version and cooldown applies, the handler refreshes the packument. It rejects stale metadata if the refresh fails.
PyPI Simple JSON version filtering internal/handler/pypi.go, internal/handler/pypi_test.go, docs/configuration.md	PyPI filtering now removes withheld versions from the JSON versions list as well as filtering files.

Distro denylist matching

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Distro identity and epoch matching internal/packageurl/handler.go, internal/denylist/denylist.go, internal/denylist/denylist_test.go, docs/configuration.md	Denylist comparisons ignore namespaces for distro package types. Debian and RPM entries with epochs also match the corresponding version without the epoch.

Possibly related issues

• git-pkgs/proxy#127: The PR changes npm dist-tag rewriting, which overlaps with the issue’s requested filter behavior. It does not add the shared filter interface.
• git-pkgs/proxy#338: The PR adds npm tarball cooldown checks with a metadata refetch and changes Conda timestamp handling. It does not implement the issue’s pending-version report.

Possibly related PRs

• git-pkgs/proxy#533: Both PRs change how Conda repodata timestamps are converted for cooldown checks and index reads.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 1b22f

Conda timestamp handling is tested for recent values, but the exact unit cutoff remains untested. This is a narrow follow-up risk.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 1b22f

The changes tighten existing package controls without introducing a new service or privilege boundary. Risk is low, but a successful metadata refresh can still leave a pre-existing unknown-version path permissive, and downstream coverage is incomplete.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The security-relevant scope is package eligibility and artifact consumption through the affected proxy handlers. For npm, an accepted upstream artifact can populate the shared ecosystem/package/version cache and affect later consumers of that cached artifact, rather than only the initiating request.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — A direct npm tarball request can still proceed when a successful metadata lookup or refresh lacks both the version entry and its publish time: cooldown allows the empty time, and fetching can use the canonical upstream URL with empty integrity. Exploitation requires the upstream to serve that otherwise unlisted artifact. This permissive path already existed at the merge base; the PR narrows cached-metadata exposure but does not close this terminal state. No introduced or expanded exposure was established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The npm download handler retains denylist enforcement before local or upstream artifact handling. Upstream downloads then undergo cooldown evaluation, and listed metadata supplies the tarball location and integrity. Forced-refresh errors stop an uncached download rather than silently authorizing it from stale metadata.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Define an explicit fail-closed eligibility outcome for a version still absent after a successful authoritative refresh when cooldown applies, covering both a new response and a successful conditional revalidation. This would close the pre-existing missing-version path rather than address a newly introduced boundary weakness.

Add boundary cases to the timestamp test, and fix a vacuous loop.

The test covers one recent timestamp per encoding. It does not test the condaMaxSecondsTimestamp boundary. A regression in the > comparison, such as >=, would pass this test. Add a table-driven case at 253402300799, which is read as seconds, and at 253402300800, which is read as milliseconds. Define the expected values from the named constant. This follows the retrieved learning.

The loop at Lines 169-173 passes when index is empty. Assert len(index) == 2 before the loop. Then a failure in readRepodataIndex fails the test.

Proposed fix for the vacuous loop

+	if len(index) != 2 {
+		t.Fatalf("index has %d entries, want 2", len(index))
+	}
 	for filename, published := range index {

From a review pass of the npm refetch, in 7fdfd99 and fede246:

• A stale copy served because upstream failed now counts as cached too, so it triggers the refetch; before, with metadata_ttl: 0 or a failed storage write, a version missing from it still went through.
• Only a copy read within its TTL without asking upstream counts as cached. Before, a packument the stored path had just fetched did too, so every request for a version upstream doesn't have fetched the whole packument a second time.
• A refetch that gets a stale result, its own or one joined from another request, is refused.
• The refusal wraps the upstream error, so a 404 stays 404 and a rate-limit hold stays 503 with Retry-After.
• The conda shard comment says timestamps are seconds or milliseconds.
