OSV can expand a CNA's related-advisory link into aliases on every record involved. For slither-analyzer this joined CVE-2026-111171, a later web3 IPv4-mapped IPv6 bypass, to the original CVE-2026-40072, GHSA-5hr4-253g-cpx2 and PYSEC-2026-3414 family, so brew advisory-match added the bypass as an alias of the existing record for the original flaw and implied it was fixed at the same boundary. This adds an excluded_aliases list to formula-and-advisory overrides that drops those alias edges from the named source record, for that formula only, before upstream resolution and grouping. Cached OSV records are copied rather than changed, a record can't exclude its own identifier and alias-only entries create no range override or preserve_homebrew_ranges protection. A further example pins the existing guard that refuses to certify a reviewed introduction from a matching fixed boundary alone.

• [x] I did not use AI/LLM to create this PR, or I disclosed the tool/model below and reviewed its output; I did not attribute commits to AI and will answer maintainer questions and review comments myself without AI/LLM.

Codex (GPT-6 Astra) wrote the change and tests, reproduced the false alias by replaying archived OSV records through the matcher and ran brew lgtm. Separate Codex reviews reran the affected specs, typecheck, style and replays. Claude Code (Opus 5.5) moved the change onto current main, reran the replays and ran brew lgtm --online on this commit.

  Bug Fixes
  
  
  • Improved vulnerability advisory matching so reviewed alias exclusions apply to the relevant formula without changing results for other formulas.
  
  
  • Prevented reviewed advisory history from being certified based solely on a matching fixed boundary.
  
  
  • Tightened validation of advisory alias exclusions, rejecting empty or invalid entries.
