Summary
pnpm is a package manager. However, plain pnpm install then performs a resolution repair, accepts the registry's new integrity, updates the lockfile, installs the new content, and exits successfully.
This means the lockfile integrity check does not act as a hard stop by default. This vulnerability is fixed in 10.34.0 and 11.4.0.
This could lead to the installation of unintended or malicious software, compromising the integrity and confidentiality of the system. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 6.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N).
Weakness: CWE-494. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat AMQ Broker 7; Red Hat Build of Keycloak; Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 8; Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Expansion Pack.
