pnpm is a package manager. Prior to 10.34.4 and 11.8.0, pnpm accepts package names from the env lockfile configDependencies section and uses those names directly when creating config dependency symlinks under node_modules/.pnpm-config. A malicious repository can commit a crafted pnpm-lock.yaml whose env-lockfile document contains a traversal-shaped config dependency name. During pnpm install, pnpm installs the config dependency and creates a symlink at a path derived from that name. This vulnerability is fixed in 10.34.4 and 11.8.0.
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary out-of-tree file/symlink write via path traversal in pnpm before 10.34.4 and 11.8.0 allows a malicious repository to escape node_modules/.pnpm-config by committing a crafted pnpm-lock.yaml whose env-lockfile configDependencies section carries a traversal-shaped package name. When a victim runs pnpm install, pnpm trusts that attacker-controlled name and creates a config-dependency symlink at the derived path, letting an attacker place symlinks outside the intended directory. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, but exploitation only requires the victim to install dependencies from the poisoned repo (UI:R); CVSS is 8.2 (High) with a scope change.
