Duplicate content

Hi.
Google sent me a letter saying that many duplicates had been found on the site.
I started checking the site and found a serious problem.
Let's say we have an item  page: site.com/category/123-someitem.
Everything is fine, no problems.
But if we enter a truncated URL: site.com/category/123-some, the page will still open with the same content. 
I don't know how such pages get into Google's index. Maybe competitors are doing it, or maybe users mistakenly copy an incomplete address and save it to their bookmarks, but the problem is serious. This is very, very bad for SEO.
But the problem doesn't end there.
When we open the truncated URL, the canonical link also points to the truncated address!!!
Code:
<link href="https://site.com/category/123-some" rel="canonical">
instead of
Code:
<link href="https://site.com/category/123-someitem" rel="canonical">
And this further exacerbates the problem.
How can we solve this problem?
