pnpm/pnpm (pnpm)

v11.4.0

Compare Source

Minor Changes
  • Treat tarball-integrity mismatches against the lockfile as a hard failure by default. Previously, pnpm install (non-frozen) would log ERR_PNPM_TARBALL_INTEGRITY, silently re-resolve from the registry, and overwrite the locked integrity — which meant a compromised registry, proxy, or republished version could substitute attacker-controlled content on a clean machine even though the project shipped a committed lockfile.

    pnpm install now exits with ERR_PNPM_TARBALL_INTEGRITY and a hint pointing at the new opt-in flag.

    The only opt-in is pnpm install --update-checksums — narrowly scoped to refreshing the locked integrity values from what the registry currently serves. Mirrors yarn's flag of the same name. A warning still prints when the bypass takes effect so the operation is auditable.

    --force and pnpm update deliberately do not bypass the integrity check. They are routine refresh operations; silently overwriting a locked integrity in those flows would erase the protection a committed lockfile is supposed to provide. --frozen-lockfile behavior is unchanged. --fix-lockfile keeps its documented purpose (filling in missing lockfile entries) and is also not a bypass.

  • pnpm runtime set <name> <version> now saves the runtime to devEngines.runtime by default instead of engines.runtime. Pass --save-prod (or -P) to save it to engines.runtime instead #​11948.

Patch Changes
  • Fix a credential disclosure issue where an unscoped _authToken (or _auth, or username + _password, or tokenHelper) defined in one source — ~/.npmrc, ~/.config/pnpm/auth.ini, a workspace .npmrc, CLI flags, etc. — would be sent as an Authorization header to whichever registry a different (potentially untrusted) source named. The same fix extends to client TLS credentials (cert, key) so they aren't presented to a registry their author didn't choose.

    pnpm now rewrites each unscoped per-registry setting (_authToken, _auth, username, _password, tokenHelper, cert, key) to its URL-scoped form at load time, using the registry= value declared in the same source (or the npmjs default registry if the source declares none). A later layer overriding registry= therefore cannot pull an unscoped credential along, because it is already pinned to the URL its author intended. ca/cafile are intentionally not rescoped — they're trust anchors, not credentials, and corporate MITM-proxy setups rely on them applying globally.

    Every rescope emits a deprecation warning telling the user where the setting was pinned and how to write it directly. npm has rejected unscoped credentials outright since npm@9, and pnpm intends to remove support in a future major release. To target a specific registry, write the setting URL-scoped (e.g. //registry.example.com/:_authToken=... or //registry.example.com/:cert=...).

    @pnpm/network.auth-header: removed the defaultRegistry parameter from createGetAuthHeaderByURI and getAuthHeadersFromCreds. Now that credentials are URL-scoped at load time, the merged configByUri never contains the empty-string "default registry" placeholder slot, so re-keying it onto the merged default registry is no longer needed.

  • Fix pnpm deploy crashing with ENOENT: ... lstat '<deployDir>/node_modules' when configDependencies declares pacquet (pacquet or @pnpm/pacquet). The deploy directory never installs config dependencies, so the install engine they designate isn't on disk to invoke; the nested install now skips them.

  • Reject git resolutions whose commit field is not a 40-character hexadecimal SHA before invoking git. A malicious lockfile could otherwise smuggle a value such as --upload-pack=<command> through git fetch / git checkout, which on SSH or local-file transports executes the supplied command.

  • Limit concurrent project manifest reads while listing large workspaces to avoid EMFILE errors.

  • Reject patch files whose diff --git headers reference paths outside the patched package directory. Previously a malicious .patch file added via a pull request could write, delete, or rename arbitrary files reachable by the user running pnpm install.

  • Improve the log message that pnpm prints after auto-adding entries to minimumReleaseAgeExclude when minimumReleaseAge is set without minimumReleaseAgeStrict. The message previously referred to the internal "loose mode" terminology, which wasn't searchable in the docs; it now tells the user to set minimumReleaseAgeStrict to true if they want these updates gated behind a prompt instead #​11747.

  • Reject dependency aliases that contain path-traversal segments (such as @x/../../../../../.git/hooks) when reading them from a package manifest or symlinking them into node_modules. A malicious registry package could otherwise use a transitive dependency key to make pnpm install create symlinks at attacker-chosen paths outside the intended node_modules directory.

  • Reject pnpm-lock.yaml entries whose remote tarball resolution: block is missing the integrity field. Previously the worker that extracts a downloaded tarball skipped hash verification when no integrity was supplied and minted a fresh one from the unverified bytes, so an attacker who could both alter the lockfile (e.g. via a pull request that strips integrity:) and serve modified content at the referenced tarball URL could install a tampered package without any error — including under --frozen-lockfile. pnpm now fails closed at lockfile-read time with ERR_PNPM_MISSING_TARBALL_INTEGRITY. Git-hosted tarballs (gitHosted: true or a URL on codeload.github.com / bitbucket.org / gitlab.com) and file: tarballs are exempt — the commit SHA in a git-host URL and the user-controlled local path already anchor the bytes.

  • Validate devEngines.runtime and engines.runtime version ranges for node, deno, and bun when onFail is set to error or warn. Previously these settings only had an effect with onFail: 'download' — the error and warn modes silently did nothing #​11818. Violations now throw ERR_PNPM_BAD_RUNTIME_VERSION.

  • Require provenance before treating trusted publisher metadata as the strongest trust evidence.

v11.3.0

Compare Source

Minor Changes
  • Added pnpm stage with publish, list, view, approve, reject, and download subcommands for npm staged publishing.

  • Added a new setting trustLockfile. When true, pnpm install skips the supply-chain verification pass that re-applies minimumReleaseAge / trustPolicy='no-downgrade' to every entry in the loaded lockfile. The install treats the lockfile as already-trusted — useful for closed-source projects where every commit comes from a trusted author. Defaults to false; verification stays on by default. Set in pnpm-workspace.yaml

Configuration

  • Added support for a global YAML config file named config.yaml.

    Configuration is now split into two categories:

    • Registry and auth settings, which can be stored in INI files such as the global rc file and local .npmrc.
    • pnpm-specific settings, which can only be loaded from YAML files such as the global config.yaml and local pnpm-workspace.yaml.
  • Added support for loading environment variables whose names start with pnpm_config_ into config. These environment variables override settings from pnpm-workspace.yaml but not CLI arguments.

  • Added support for reading allowBuilds from pnpm-workspace.yaml in the global package directory for global installs.

  • Added support for pnpm config get globalconfig to retrieve the global config file path #​9977.

  • Added a new setting virtualStoreOnly that populates the virtual store without creating importer symlinks, hoisting, bin links, or running lifecycle scripts. This is useful for pre-populating a store (e.g., in Nix builds) without creating unnecessary project-level artifacts. pnpm fetch now uses this mode internally #​10840.

  • Added support for specifying the pnpm version via devEngines.packageManager in package.json. Unlike the packageManager field, this supports version ranges. The resolved version is stored in pnpm-lock.yaml and reused if it still satisfies the range #​10932.

  • Added a new dedupePeers setting that reduces peer dependency duplication. When enabled, peer dependency suffixes use version-only identifiers (name@version) instead of full dep paths, eliminating nested suffixes like (foo@1.0.0(bar@2.0.0)). This dramatically reduces the number of package instances in projects with many recursive peer dependencies #​11070.

  • Config dependencies are now installed into the global virtual store ({storeDir}/links/) and symlinked into node_modules/.pnpm-config/. This allows config dependencies to be shared across projects that use the same store, avoiding redundant fetches and imports #​10910. Config dependency and package manager integrity info is now stored in pnpm-lock.yaml instead of inlined in pnpm-workspace.yaml: the workspace manifest contains only clean version specifiers for configDependencies, while the resolved versions, integrity hashes, and tarball URLs are recorded in the lockfile as a separate YAML document. The env lockfile section also stores packageManagerDependencies resolved during version switching and self-update. Projects using the old inline-hash format are automatically migrated on install #​10912 #​10964.

  • Added nodeDownloadMirrors setting to configure custom Node.js download mirrors in pnpm-workspace.yaml. This replaces the node-mirror:<channel> .npmrc setting, which is no longer read #​11194:

    nodeDownloadMirrors:
      release: https://my-mirror.example.com/download/release/
  • pnpm dlx and pnpm create now respect security and trust policy settings (minimumReleaseAge, minimumReleaseAgeExclude, minimumReleaseAgeStrict, trustPolicy, trustPolicyExclude, trustPolicyIgnoreAfter) from project-level configuration #​11183.

  • pnpm init now writes a devEngines.packageManager field instead of the packageManager field when init-package-manager is enabled.

  • Added a new setting runtimeOnFail that overrides the onFail field of devEngines.runtime (and engines.runtime) in the root project's package.json. Accepted values: ignore, warn, error, download. For example, setting runtimeOnFail=download makes pnpm download the declared runtime version even when the manifest does not set onFail: "download".

  • Added a new setting minimumReleaseAgeIgnoreMissingTime, which is true by default. When enabled, pnpm skips the minimumReleaseAge maturity check if the registry metadata does not include the time field. Set to false to fail resolution instead.

Store
  • When the global virtual store is enabled, packages that are not allowed to build (and don't transitively depend on packages that are) now get hashes that don't include the engine name (platform, architecture, Node.js major version). This means ~95% of packages in the GVS survive Node.js upgrades and architecture changes without re-import #​10837.
Hooks & Pnpmfiles
  • Added support for pnpmfiles written in ESM, using the .mjs extension. When .pnpmfile.mjs exists, it takes priority over .pnpmfile.cjs and only one is loaded #​9730.
CLI & Other
  • The built-in clean, setup, deploy, and rebuild commands now prefer user scripts over built-in commands. When a project's package.json has a script with the same name, pnpm executes the script instead of the built-in command. Added purge as an alias for the built-in clean command, which always runs the built-in regardless of scripts #​11118.
  • Added -F as a short alias for the --filter option.
  • Added support for hidden scripts. Scripts starting with . are hidden and cannot be run directly via pnpm run. They can only be called from other scripts. Hidden scripts are also omitted from the pnpm run listing #​11041.
  • pnpm approve-builds now accepts positional arguments for approving or denying packages without the interactive prompt. Prefix a package name with ! to deny it. Only mentioned packages are affected; the rest are left untouched #​11030.
  • During install, packages with ignored builds that are not yet listed in allowBuilds are automatically added to pnpm-workspace.yaml with a placeholder value, so users can manually set them to true or false #​11030.
  • Added pn and pnx short aliases for pnpm and pnpx (pnpm dlx) #​11052.
  • pnpm store prune now displays the total size of removed files #​11047.
  • pnpm audit --fix now adds the minimum patched version for each advisory to minimumReleaseAgeExclude in pnpm-workspace.yaml, so the security fix can be installed without waiting for minimumReleaseAge #​11216.
  • pnpm now warns when optimisticRepeatInstall skips shouldRefreshResolution hooks #​10995.
Performance
  • Replaced node-fetch with native undici for HTTP requests throughout pnpm #​10537.
  • Eliminated redundant internal linking during GVS warm reinstall when no packages were added #​11073.
  • Eliminated the staging directory when importing packages into node_modules, avoiding the overhead of creating a temp dir and renaming per package #​11088.
  • CAS files are now written directly to their final content-addressed path instead of to a temp file and renamed. This eliminates ~30k rename syscalls per cold install #​11087.
  • Optimized hot-path string operations in the content-addressable store and increased gunzipSync chunk size for fewer buffer allocations during tarball decompression #​11086.
  • Improved HTTP performance with Happy Eyeballs (dual-stack), better keep-alive settings, and an optimized global dispatcher. Tarball downloads with known size now pre-allocate memory to avoid double-copy overhead #​11151.
  • Adopted If-Modified-Since for conditional metadata fetches, avoiding re-downloading unchanged registry metadata #​11161.
  • Switched to abbreviated metadata when checking minimumReleaseAge, reducing the amount of data fetched from the registry #​11160.
  • Switched the metadata cache to NDJSON format, improving read/write performance #​11188.
Patch Changes
  • Switched to process.stderr.write instead of console.error for script logging #​11140.

  • Respected the frozen-lockfile flag when migrating config dependencies #​11067.

  • Removed the --workspace flag from the version command #​11115.

  • Handled ENOTSUP error in the clone import path during parallel I/O #​11117.

  • Fixed pnpm audit command.

  • Updated dependencies to fix vulnerabilities.

  • pnpm now checks whether a package is installable for non-npm-hosted packages (e.g., git or tarball dependencies) after the manifest has been fetched.

  • pnpm now explicitly passes the path of the global rc config file to npm.

  • Fixed YAML formatting preservation in pnpm-workspace.yaml when running commands like pnpm update. Previously, quotes and other formatting were lost even when catalog values didn't change.

    Closes #​10425

  • The parameter set by the --allow-build flag is now written to allowBuilds.

  • Fixed a bug in which specifying filter in pnpm-workspace.yaml would cause pnpm to not detect any projects.

  • Deferred patch errors until all patches in a group are applied, so that one failed patch does not prevent other patches from being attempted.

  • pnpm now fails on incompatible lockfiles in CI when frozen lockfile mode is enabled #​10978.

  • Fixed strictDepBuilds and allowBuilds checks being bypassed when a package's build side-effects are cached in the store #​11039.

  • In GVS mode, pnpm approve-builds now runs a full install instead of rebuild, ensuring that GVS hash directories and symlinks are updated correctly after changing allowBuilds #​11043.

  • Fixed a crash in the lockfile merger when merging non-semver version strings (e.g. link:, file:, git URLs) #​11102.

  • Handled ENOTSUP error in linkOrCopy during parallel imports #​11103.

  • Skipped linking bins that already reference the correct target. This avoids redundant I/O during repeated installs and prevents permission errors when the store is read-only (e.g. Docker layer caching, CI prewarm, NFS) #​11069.

  • Fixed _password handling for the default registry to decode from base64 before use, consistent with scoped registry behavior #​11089.

  • Fixed a bug where the CAS locker cache was not updated when a file already existed with correct integrity #​11085.

  • Prevented catalog entries from being removed by cleanupUnusedCatalogs when they are referenced only from workspace overrides #​11075.

  • Resolved patch file paths during pnpm fetch #​11054.

  • Fixed invalid specifiers for peers on all non-exact version selectors #​11049.

  • Fixed false "Command not found" error on Windows when the command exists but exits with a non-zero exit code #​11000.

  • Prepended Bearer to the authorization token generated by tokenHelper if it is missing, aligning with npm's behavior #​11097.

  • Propagated error cause when throwing PnpmError in @pnpm/npm-resolver #​10990.

  • Fixed SQLite race condition during store initialization on Windows.

  • Removed rimrafSync in importIndexedDir fast-path error handler #​11168.

  • Fixed pnpm dedupe --check unexpectedly failing due to non-deterministic resolution #​11110.

  • Fixed empty files not being rejected in isEmptyDirOrNothing #​11182.

  • Fixed .bat/.cmd token helpers not working on Windows due to missing shell: true option.

Patch Changes
  • Pin unscoped per-registry settings (_authToken, _auth, username/_password, tokenHelper, inline cert/key) to the registry declared in the same config source at load time, so a later layer overriding registry= (workspace .npmrc, pnpm-workspace.yaml, CLI --registry) cannot redirect a credential or client certificate authored for a different host. A deprecation warning is emitted whenever an unscoped per-registry setting is encountered, naming the source and the URL it was pinned to. Reported by JUNYI LIU.
  • Fixed minimumReleaseAge handling when cached metadata is abbreviated. The npm registry returns abbreviated package metadata (without the per-version time field) by default, which made the maturity check throw ERR_PNPM_MISSING_TIME whenever cached abbreviated metadata was reused. pnpm now upgrades cached abbreviated metadata to the full document via a follow-up fetch when minimumReleaseAge is active, persists the upgrade to the on-disk cache so subsequent installs skip the extra fetch, and lets ERR_PNPM_MISSING_TIME from the cache fast-path fall through to the network fetch even under strict mode.
  • Reject git resolutions whose commit field is not a 40-character hexadecimal SHA before invoking git. A malicious lockfile could otherwise smuggle a value such as --upload-pack=<command> through git fetch / git checkout, which on SSH or local-file transports executes the supplied command.
  • Reject patch files whose diff --git headers reference paths outside the patched package directory. Previously a malicious .patch file added via a pull request could write, delete, or rename arbitrary files reachable by the user running pnpm install.
  • Fixed --prefix=<dir> not being honored when locating the workspace root. The --prefix → dir rename was applied after workspace detection, so workspace settings declared in <dir>/pnpm-workspace.yaml were not loaded when pnpm was invoked from outside <dir> #​11535.
  • Reject dependency aliases that contain path-traversal segments (such as @x/../../../../../.git/hooks) when reading them from a package manifest or symlinking them into node_modules. A malicious registry package could otherwise use a transitive dependency key to make pnpm install create symlinks at attacker-chosen paths outside the intended node_modules directory.

v10.33.4: pnpm 10.33.4

Compare Source

Patch Changes
  • Pin the integrity of git-hosted tarballs (codeload.github.com, gitlab.com, bitbucket.org) in the lockfile so that subsequent installs detect a tampered or substituted tarball and refuse to install it. Previously the lockfile only stored the tarball URL for git dependencies, so a compromised git host or a man-in-the-middle could serve arbitrary code on later installs without lockfile changes.

    A new gitHosted: true field is recorded on git-hosted tarball resolutions in the lockfile, letting every reader/writer route them by a single typed check instead of pattern-matching the tarball URL in each call site. Lockfiles written by older pnpm versions are enriched on load (URL fallback) so the field can be relied on uniformly across the codebase.

  • Fix a regression where pnpm --recursive --filter '!<pkg>' run/exec/test/add would include the workspace root in the matched projects. The workspace root is now correctly excluded by default when only negative --filter arguments are provided, matching the documented behavior. To include the root, pass --include-workspace-root #​11341.

v10.33.3: pnpm 10.33.3

Compare Source

Patch Changes
  • When self-updating from v10's @pnpm/exe to v11+ on Intel macOS (darwin-x64), pnpm self-update now transparently switches to the JS-only pnpm package on npm instead of installing @pnpm/exe@v11+ (which doesn't ship a working binary for Intel Macs because of an upstream Node.js SEA bug — see #​11423 and nodejs/node#62893). Without this, the self-update would silently leave the user with no working pnpm binary. The new install requires Node.js to be available on PATH; a warning is printed when the swap happens. All other host/version combinations are unchanged.
  • pnpm self-update (with no version argument) no longer downgrades pnpm when the registry's latest dist-tag points to an older release than the currently active version. Run pnpm self-update latest to force a downgrade #​11418.

v10.33.2: pnpm 10.33.2

Compare Source

Patch Changes
  • Globally-installed bins no longer fail with ERR_PNPM_NO_IMPORTER_MANIFEST_FOUND when pnpm was installed via the standalone @pnpm/exe binary (e.g. curl -fsSL https://get.pnpm.io/install.sh | sh -) on a system without a separate Node.js installation. Previously, when which('node') failed during pnpm add --global, pnpm fell back to process.execPath, which in @pnpm/exe is the pnpm binary itself — and that path was baked into the generated bin shim, causing the shim to invoke pnpm instead of Node #​11291, #​4645.

  • Fix an infinite fork-bomb that could happen when pnpm was installed with one version (e.g. npm install -g pnpm@A) and run inside a project whose package.json selected a different pnpm version via the packageManager field (e.g. pnpm@B), while a pnpm-workspace.yaml also existed at the project root.

    The child's environment is now forced to manage-package-manager-versions=false (v10) and pm-on-fail=ignore (v11+), which disables the package-manager-version handling in whichever pnpm runs as the child.

    Fixes #​11337.

v10.33.1: pnpm 10.33.1

Patch Changes
  • When a project's packageManager field selects pnpm v11 or newer, commands that v10 would have passed through to npm (version, login, logout, publish, unpublish, deprecate, dist-tag, docs, ping, search, star, stars, unstar, whoami, etc.) are now handed over to the wanted pnpm, which implements them natively. Previously they silently shelled out to npm — making, for example, pnpm version --help print npm's help on a project with packageManager: pnpm@11.0.0-rc.3 #​11328.
