CVE-2025-69263: pnpm Has Lockfile Integrity Bypass that Allows Remote Dynamic Dependencies

January 7, 2026 (updated January 8, 2026)

HTTP tarball dependencies (and git-hosted tarballs) are stored in the lockfile without integrity hashes. This allows the remote server to serve different content on each install, even when a lockfile is committed.
