SCA: security update for pnpm (GHSA-m733-5w8f-5ggw)
medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 437383
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- pnpm is a package manager. Prior to version 10.28.2, when pnpm installs a `file:` (directory) or `git:`
dependency, it follows symlinks and reads their target contents without constraining them to the package
root. A malicious package containing a symlink to an absolute path (e.g., `/etc/passwd`, `~/.ssh/id_rsa`)
causes pnpm to copy that file's contents into `node_modules`, leaking local data. The vulnerability only
affects `file:` and `git:` dependencies. Registry packages (npm) have symlinks stripped during publish and
are NOT affected. The issue impacts developers installing local/file dependencies andCI/CD pipelines
installing git dependencies. It can lead to credential theft via symlinks to `~/.aws/credentials`,
`~/.npmrc`, `~/.ssh/id_rsa`. Version 10.28.2 contains a patch. (CVE-2026-24056)
