Severity by source
AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
AV:N as the malicious repo is network-delivered; PR:N since attacker owns the repo not the victim system; UI:R for required clone-and-run; C:H for high-value secret exfiltration; no integrity or availability impact.

Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
pnpm is a package manager. Prior to 10.34.2 and 11.5.3, pnpm and pacquet expanded ${ENV_VAR} placeholders from repository-controlled .npmrc and pnpm-workspace.yaml into registry request destinations and registry credentials. A malicious repository could cause dependency resolution to send victim environment secrets to an attacker-selected registry before lifecycle scripts run. This vulnerability is fixed in 10.34.2 and 11.5.3.
AnalysisAI
Information disclosure in pnpm prior to 10.34.2 and 11.5.3 allows a malicious repository to exfiltrate victim environment secrets by expanding ${ENV_VAR} placeholders in .npmrc and pnpm-workspace.yaml into registry request destinations before lifecycle scripts run. Public proof-of-concept exploit exists, though no active exploitation has been confirmed.
