Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

pnpm是pnpm团队开源的一个包管理器。 pnpm 10.34.2之前版本和11.0.0版本至11.5.3之前版本存在安全漏洞，该漏洞源于在pnpm-lock.yaml的第一个YAML文档中持久化包管理器引导元数据，可能导致恶意仓库提交绕过解析的包管理器记录，从而导致自动版本切换时安装和执行选定的字节。

Vulnerability Title
pnpm: Project env lockfile can short-circuit package-manager resolution and execute lockfile-selected pnpm bytes
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
pnpm is a package manager. Prior to 10.34.2 and 11.5.3, pnpm can persist package-manager bootstrap metadata in the first YAML document of pnpm-lock.yaml. Before the patch, direct pnpm execution trusted an already resolved packageManagerDependencies entry when the committed env lockfile contained matching pnpm and @pnpm/exe versions. A malicious repository could therefore commit package-manager lockfile package records and snapshots that bypassed fresh package-manager resolution, then cause pnpm to install and execute bytes selected by that committed lockfile state during automatic version switching. This vulnerability is fixed in 10.34.2 and 11.5.3.
