SCA: security update for pnpm (GHSA-cjhr-43r9-cfmw)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 444039

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 can send user-level unscoped npm
 authentication credentials to a registry chosen by a repository-local .npmrc file. In the reproduced case,
 the user's npm config contains a default registry and an unscoped _authToken. The repository does not
 provide a token-bearing auth line. It only sets registry= to a different registry URL. During normal pnpm
 metadata/install workflows, pnpm binds the user-origin unscoped credential to the repository-selected
 registry and sends it as an Authorization header. This vulnerability is fixed in 10.34.0 and 11.4.0.
 (CVE-2026-50017)

Solution

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