pnpm: Hoisted install imports lockfile alias outside node_modules

Summary

The hoisted dependency alias issue tracked as GHSA-fr4h-3cph-29xv / CAND-PNPM-059 has been addressed in both pnpm and pacquet.

A crafted lockfile alias could be joined directly under a hoisted node_modules directory. Traversal aliases could escape that directory, while reserved aliases such as .bin or .pnpm could overwrite pnpm-owned layout. This patch validates package-name semantics and path containment before graph insertion or filesystem work.

Security boundary

• The TypeScript hoisted graph uses the shared safe join helper at the actual dep.name sink.
• The helper rejects traversal, absolute, platform-specific, and reserved package names.
• Pacquet validates the hoister's dep.0.name before adding the graph node or recursing.
• Both implementations return ERR_PNPM_INVALID_DEPENDENCY_NAME.
• Pacquet uses the same dependency-name containment rule at its hoisted graph sink as it uses for direct dependency aliases.

Exploit replay

Before the patch, a traversal alias in a hoisted lockfile imported package files outside the intended install root. With this patch, both pnpm and pacquet reject the alias before graph insertion or filesystem work, and the escaped file is not created.

Files changed

• fs/symlink-dependency/src/safeJoinModulesDir.ts provides the TypeScript containment helper.
• installing/deps-restorer/src/lockfileToHoistedDepGraph.ts validates the parsed dependency name at the hoisted graph sink.
• pacquet/crates/package-manager/src/{hoisted_dep_graph.rs,safe_join_modules_dir.rs} mirrors that boundary in Rust.
• TypeScript and Rust tests cover traversal, reserved aliases, and valid scoped names.
