🔐 fix path traversal in scanner

[miccy]

🎯 What: Fixed a path traversal vulnerability in the scanner package where unvalidated user input could lead to unauthorized file reads.
⚠️ Risk: Attackers could use null byte injection or other path manipulation techniques to bypass intended directory restrictions, potentially reading sensitive files if the scanner is used in a service context.
🛡️ Solution: Implemented a centralized validatePath utility that checks for null bytes and empty paths. Integrated this validation into all scanner entry points, including scan(), lockfile parsers, and injection detectors. Added a security test suite to verify the fix.

✅ Manually integrated into dev/feat-grant-ready-foundation (commit 0989ec4).

The PR had merge conflicts with the current codebase (restructured parsers, different injection.ts), so the changes were applied manually:

• packages/scanner/src/utils.ts — validatePath() utility created
• packages/scanner/tests/security.test.ts — security tests added
• validatePath() calls added to scan.ts, injection.ts, npm.ts, yarn.ts

All 4 security tests pass. Closing as integrated.
