Protection Mechanism Failure

CVE-2025-69264

High
9.8/10

Summary

pnpm is a package manager. Versions 10.0.0-alpha0 through 10.25.0 allow git-hosted dependencies to execute arbitrary code during "pnpm install", circumventing the v10 security feature "Dependency lifecycle scripts execution disabled by default". While pnpm v10 blocks "postinstall" scripts via the "onlyBuiltDependencies" mechanism, git dependencies can still execute "prepare", "prepublish", and "prepack" scripts during the fetch phase, enabling remote code execution without user consent or approval.
