Potential fix for https://github.com/hashicorp/dev-portal/security/code-scanning/17
In general, to fix this category of issue you must escape literal dots and any other regex metacharacters when you intend to match them literally in hostnames. For a domain like
learn.hashicorp.com, the safe literal regex islearn\.hashicorp\.com, so the dots do not act as wildcards.For this specific test, the best minimal change that preserves intent is to change the inline regex from
/(learn.hashicorp.com)?\/search/to/^(https?:\/\/)?(learn\.hashicorp\.com)?\/search/if you want to be precise about the host, or more conservatively and minimally to/(learn\.hashicorp\.com)?\/search/. The latter keeps the existing behavior and intent (optional hostname followed by/search) while ensuring the hostname is matched literally. No imports or additional helpers are needed; we only adjust the regex literal in the test filesrc/lib/remark-plugins/rewrite-tutorial-links/__tests__/rewrite-tutorial-links.test.tsat theexpect(String(contents)).toMatch(...)line around 240.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix.
