SCA: security update for pnpm (GHSA-hwx4-2j3j-g496)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 444042

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 allows a transitive dependency alias from
 registry package metadata to contain path traversal segments. During install, pnpm later uses that alias
 as a filesystem path when linking dependency nodes. As a result, a registry package can cause `pnpm
 install --ignore-scripts` to replace paths in the current project with symlinks to attacker-controlled
 dependency package directories. This vulnerability is fixed in 10.34.0 and 11.4.0. (CVE-2026-50016)

Solution

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