CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

A vulnerability in pnpm allows crafted lockfile aliases to be improperly handled, enabling traversal aliases to escape the hoisted node_modules directory and potentially overwrite critical pnpm-owned layouts. This could lead to unauthorized code execution or manipulation of package dependencies. Users of pnpm versions prior to 10.34.4 and 11.7.0 should prioritize updating to mitigate these risks.

Original NVD Description

pnpm is a package manager. Prior to 10.34.4 and 11.7.0, a crafted lockfile alias could be joined directly under a hoisted node_modules directory. Traversal aliases could escape that directory, while reserved aliases such as .bin or .pnpm could overwrite pnpm-owned layout. This vulnerability is fixed in 10.34.4 and 11.7.0.
