pnpm: Tarball hash of GitHub git dependencies is not stored in lockfile

4.8 MediumFix available

pnpm is a package manager. Prior to 10.33.4 and 11.0.7, a malicious codeload.github.com server can serve whatever tarball it wants and pnpm will install it regardless of the lockfile. The lockfile does not store the hash of the dependencies from https://codeload.github.com. This means that if this server was compromised or a person's machine configuration was compromised, pnpm would download and install these dependencies. This vulnerability is fixed in 10.33.4 and 11.0.7.

pnpm: Tarball hash of GitHub git dependencies is not stored in lockfile

Summary

A malicious codeload.github.com server can serve whatever tarball it wants and pnpm will install it regardless of the lockfile.

Details

The lockfile does not store the hash of the dependencies from https://codeload.github.com

This means that if this server was compromised or a person's machine configuration was compromised, pnpm would download and install these dependencies.

PoC

> pnpm -v     
10.28.2

Given the following package.json:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "add": "git://github.com/dsherret/npm-git-dep.git#b3eeb9b"
  }
}

This produces a lockfile like so:

lockfileVersion: '9.0'

settings:
  autoInstallPeers: true
  excludeLinksFromLockfile: false

importers:

  .:
    dependencies:
      add:
        specifier: git://github.com/dsherret/npm-git-dep.git#b3eeb9b
        version: https://codeload.github.com/dsherret/npm-git-dep/tar.gz/b3eeb9b

packages:

  add@https://codeload.github.com/dsherret/npm-git-dep/tar.gz/b3eeb9b:
    resolution: {tarball: https://codeload.github.com/dsherret/npm-git-dep/tar.gz/b3eeb9b}
    version: 1.0.0

snapshots:

  add@https://codeload.github.com/dsherret/npm-git-dep/tar.gz/b3eeb9b: {}

Notice that there is no hash. The b3eeb9b is not sufficient because I can configure my machine to resolve a compromised tarball from that url (I tested it out and pnpm just installs it).

Impact

Anyone relying on github git dependencies.
