SCA: security update for pnpm (GHSA-rxhj-4m44-96r4)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 444036

Description

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

 - pnpm is a package manager. Prior to 10.34.0 and 11.4.0, pnpm's patch application pipeline (@pnpm/patch-
 package) performs no path validation on file paths extracted from .patch files. An attacker who
 contributes a malicious patch file via a pull request can write attacker-controlled content to or delete
 arbitrary files on the filesystem during pnpm install, as the user running the install. The diff --git
 header paths containing ../../ sequences traverse out of the package directory, and the traversal is
 difficult to catch in code review because patch file diff headers are opaque to most reviewers. This
 vulnerability is fixed in 10.34.0 and 11.4.0. (CVE-2026-50015)

Solution

Update the pnpm library and its related packages to version 10.34.0 or later.
