NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream pnpm package and not the pnpm package as distributed by Minimos. See How to fix? for Minimos:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

pnpm is a package manager. Prior to version 10.28.2, when pnpm processes a package's directories.bin field, it uses path.join() without validating the result stays within the package root. A malicious npm package can specify &#34;directories&#34;: {&#34;bin&#34;: &#34;../../../../tmp&#34;} to escape the package directory, causing pnpm to chmod 755 files at arbitrary locations. This issue only affects Unix/Linux/macOS. Windows is not affected (fixBin gated by EXECUTABLE_SHEBANG_SUPPORTED). Version 10.28.2 contains a patch.
