ValueError: 'other' is not a valid SocketCategory when scanning package with 'other' category alert

[johnsonch]

Description

The CLI crashes with ValueError: 'other' is not a valid SocketCategory when scanning a PR that includes a package whose diff report contains an alert with category: "other". The SocketCategory enum in socketdev/fullscans/__init__.py does not include "other" as a valid value, causing deserialization to fail.

Environment

• socketsecurity version: 2.2.85
• Python version: 3.12.13
• OS: ubuntu-latest (GitHub Actions runner)
• Trigger: pull_request event

Workflow config

- uses: actions/setup-python@v5
  with:
    python-version: '3.12'
- name: Install Socket CLI
  run: pip install socketsecurity==2.2.85
- name: Run Socket Security Scan
  env:
    SOCKET_SECURITY_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.SOCKET_SECURITY_API_KEY }}
    GH_API_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
  run: |
    PR_NUMBER=${{ github.event.pull_request.number }}
    socketcli \
      --target-path $GITHUB_WORKSPACE \
      --scm github \
      --pr-number $PR_NUMBER

Steps to reproduce

1. Add browserlist (Socket's own sample malware package) to a package.json
2. Open a PR
3. Run socketcli via GitHub Actions

The Socket API returns a diff report containing an alert with "category": "other", which the SocketCategory enum cannot deserialize.

ValueError: 'other' is not a valid SocketCategory

Expected behavior

The CLI handles unknown category values gracefully (e.g. falls back to a default, skips the alert, or logs a warning) rather than crashing the entire scan.

Impact

Any PR containing a package that Socket categorizes as "other" causes the scan to crash with exit code 3, blocking CI entirely. This is particularly problematic since the crash prevents Socket from reporting on the very packages it should be flagging.
