Pnpm · Pnpm · CVE-2026-50017
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
pnpm versions prior to 10.34.0
pnpm versions prior to 11.4.0
**Description**
pnpm may send user-level unscoped npm authentication credentials to a registry specified in a repository-local `.npmrc` file. This occurs when a user's global configuration contains a default registry and an unscoped ` authToken`, but the repository's `.npmrc` file only defines a different registry URL without providing its own authentication. During metadata or installation workflows, pnpm incorrectly binds the user's global unscoped credential to the repository-selected registry and transmits it within the Authorization header.
**Recommendations**
Update pnpm to version 10.34.0 or later.
Update pnpm to version 11.4.0 or later.
