SCA: security update for pnpm (GHSA-xpqm-wm3m-f34h)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 437382

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 bin linking
 allows malicious npm packages to create executable shims or symlinks outside of `node_modules/.bin`. Bin
 names starting with `@` bypass validation, and after scope normalization, path traversal sequences like
 `../../` remain intact. This issue affects all pnpm users who install npm packages and CI/CD pipelines
 using pnpm. It can lead to overwriting config files, scripts, or other sensitive files. Version 10.28.1
 contains a patch. (CVE-2026-23890)
