Zoltan Kochan bee4bf41ca fix: reject path-traversal config dependency names from the env lockfile (#12470)
Config dependency names and versions are read from the committed env lockfile
(pnpm-lock.yaml) and the legacy inline-integrity format in pnpm-workspace.yaml,
and both become path segments of the directories pnpm creates during install
(node_modules/.pnpm-config/<name> and the global virtual store's
<name>/<version>/<hash>). They were used unvalidated, so a malicious repository
could commit a traversal-shaped name (../../PWNED) or version (../../../PWNED)
and make `pnpm install` create symlinks or write package files outside those
roots — triggered on install, even with --ignore-scripts.

Add verifyEnvLockfile, an offline structural gate that validates every config
dependency and optional-subdependency name (must be a valid npm package name)
and version (must be an exact semver version) before any path is built from it.
It runs at the install boundary and, through a single writeVerifiedEnvLockfile
seam, before the env lockfile is ever persisted, so an invalid entry is rejected
with no write side effect. __proto__ names are rejected too (the validation
accumulators use null-prototype objects so the key can't slip past Object.keys).

The same fix and structure land in pacquet to keep the two stacks in sync.

Fixes GHSA-qrv3-253h-g69c.

pnpm

Fast, disk space efficient package manager:

  • Fast. Up to 2x faster than the alternatives (see benchmark).
  • Efficient. Files inside node_modules are linked from a single content-addressable storage.
  • Great for monorepos.
  • Strict. A package can access only dependencies that are specified in its package.json.
  • Deterministic. Has a lockfile called pnpm-lock.yaml.
  • Works as a Node.js version manager. See pnpm runtime.
  • Works everywhere. Supports Windows, Linux, and macOS.
  • Battle-tested. Used in production by teams of all sizes since 2016.
  • See the full feature comparison with npm and Yarn.

To quote the Rush team:

Microsoft uses pnpm in Rush repos with hundreds of projects and hundreds of PRs per day, and weve found it to be very fast and reliable.

Background

pnpm uses a content-addressable filesystem to store all files from all module directories on a disk. When using npm, if you have 100 projects using lodash, you will have 100 copies of lodash on disk. With pnpm, lodash will be stored in a content-addressable storage, so:

  1. If you depend on different versions of lodash, only the files that differ are added to the store. If lodash has 100 files, and a new version has a change only in one of those files, pnpm update will only add 1 new file to the storage.
  2. All the files are saved in a single place on the disk. When packages are installed, their files are linked from that single place consuming no additional disk space. Linking is performed using either hard-links or reflinks (copy-on-write).

As a result, you save gigabytes of space on your disk and you have a lot faster installations! If you'd like more details about the unique node_modules structure that pnpm creates and why it works fine with the Node.js ecosystem, read this small article: Flat node_modules is not the only way.
