SCA: security update for pnpm (GHSA-4gxm-v5v7-fqc4)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 444030

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- pnpm is a package manager. Prior to 10.34.2 and 11.5.3, Manifest bin object keys such as "", ".", and ".."
passed pnpm's bin-name guard. When a malicious package was installed globally, later global remove,
update, or add-replacement flows could re-derive those names from the installed manifest and pass
path.join(globalBinDir, binName) to removeBin. For "." this targets the global bin directory; for ".."
this targets its parent. This vulnerability is fixed in 10.34.2 and 11.5.3. (CVE-2026-55699)

Solution

Update the pnpm library and its related packages to version 10.34.2 or later.
