SCA: security update for pnpm (GHSA-w466-c33r-3gjp)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 444017

Description

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

 - pnpm is a package manager. Prior to 10.34.2 and 11.5.3, pnpm can persist package-manager bootstrap
 metadata in the first YAML document of pnpm-lock.yaml. Before the patch, direct pnpm execution trusted an
 already resolved packageManagerDependencies entry when the committed env lockfile contained matching pnpm
 and @pnpm/exe versions. A malicious repository could therefore commit package-manager lockfile package
 records and snapshots that bypassed fresh package-manager resolution, then cause pnpm to install and
 execute bytes selected by that committed lockfile state during automatic version switching. This
 vulnerability is fixed in 10.34.2 and 11.5.3. (CVE-2026-55698)

Solution

Update the pnpm library and its related packages to version 10.34.2 or later.
