SCA: security update for pnpm (GHSA-6x96-7vc8-cm3p)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 437370

Description

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

 - pnpm is a package manager. Prior to version 10.28.1, a path traversal vulnerability in pnpm's tarball
 extraction allows malicious packages to write files outside the package directory on Windows. The path
 normalization only checks for `./` but not `.\`. On Windows, backslashes are directory separators,
 enabling path traversal. This vulnerability is Windows-only. This issue impacts Windows pnpm users and
 Windows CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions Windows runners, Azure DevOps). It can lead to overwriting
 `.npmrc`, build configs, or other files. Version 10.28.1 contains a patch. (CVE-2026-23889)
