CVE-2026-24056

pnpm is a package manager. Prior to version 10.28.2, when pnpm installs a `file:` (directory) or `git:` dependency, it follows symlinks and reads their target contents without constraining them to the package root. A malicious package containing a symlink to an absolute path (e.g., `/etc/passwd`, `~/.ssh/id_rsa`) causes pnpm to copy that file's contents into `node_modules`, leaking local data. The vulnerability only affects `file:` and `git:` dependencies. Registry packages (npm) have symlinks stripped during publish and are NOT affected. The issue impacts developers installing local/file dependencies andCI/CD pipelines installing git dependencies. It can lead to credential theft via symlinks to `~/.aws/credentials`, `~/.npmrc`, `~/.ssh/id_rsa`. Version 10.28.2 contains a patch.

Summary
  • (es) pnpm es un gestor de paquetes. Antes de la versión 10.28.2, cuando pnpm instala una dependencia 'file:' (directorio) o 'git:', sigue los enlaces simbólicos y lee el contenido de sus destinos sin restringirlos a la raíz del paquete. Un paquete malicioso que contiene un enlace simbólico a una ruta absoluta (por ejemplo, '/etc /passwd', '~/.ssh/id_rsa') hace que pnpm copie el contenido de ese archivo en 'node_modules', filtrando datos locales. La vulnerabilidad solo afecta a las dependencias 'file:' y 'git:'. Los paquetes de registro (npm) tienen los enlaces simbólicos eliminados durante la publicación y NO se ven afectados. El problema afecta a los desarrolladores que instalan dependencias locales/de archivo y a las tuberías de CI/CD que instalan dependencias de git. Puede conducir al robo de credenciales a través de enlaces simbólicos a '~/.aws/credentials', '~/.npmrc', '~/.ssh/id_rsa'. La versión 10.28.2 contiene un parche.
