CVE-2025-69264

pnpm is a package manager. Versions 10.0.0 through 10.25 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. This issue is fixed in version 10.26.0.

Summary		(es) pnpm es un gestor de paquetes. Las versiones 10.0.0 a 10.25 permiten que las dependencias alojadas en Git ejecuten código arbitrario durante pnpm install, eludiendo la característica de seguridad de la v10 'Ejecución de scripts del ciclo de vida de las dependencias deshabilitada por defecto'. Aunque pnpm v10 bloquea los scripts postinstall a través del mecanismo onlyBuiltDependencies, las dependencias de Git aún pueden ejecutar scripts prepare, prepublish y prepack durante la fase de fetch, habilitando la ejecución remota de código sin el consentimiento o la aprobación del usuario. Este problema está solucionado en la versión 10.26.0.
