Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-04-12 00:00 – Updated: 2022-04-22 20:20fullPage utils are available to developers using window.fp_utils. They can use these utils for their own use-case (other than fullPage) as well. However, one of the utils deepExtend is vulnerable to Prototype Pollution vulnerability.
Javascript is "prototype" language which means when a new "object" is created, it carries the predefined properties and methods of an "object" with itself like toString, constructor etc. By using prototype-pollution vulnerability, an attacker can overwrite/create the property of that "object" type. If the victim developer has used that property anywhere in the code, then it will have severe effect on the application.

GHSA-VPMM-X3FM-QR5C
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-18 13:05 – Updated: 2026-06-18 13:05Summary
Jodit.modules.Helpers.set(chain, value, obj) walks the dot-separated chain, creating and following each path segment, without filtering prototype-mutating keys. A chain that begins with (or contains) __proto__, constructor, or prototype lets the final assignment reach and mutate Object.prototype (prototype pollution).
Affected
- Package:
jodit(npm) - Versions:
< 4.12.26 - Public API:
Jodit.modules.Helpers.set(chain, value, obj)
Proof of Concept
const { Jodit } = require('jodit');
delete Object.prototype.polluted;
Jodit.modules.Helpers.set('__proto__.polluted', 'yes', {});
console.log(({}).polluted); // "yes" (before the fix)
delete Object.prototype.polluted;
Impact
Applications that pass a user-controlled or partially user-controlled key path into Jodit.modules.Helpers.set() could be vulnerable to prototype pollution (CWE-1321): unexpected property injection, logic bypass, denial of service, or secondary security issues.
Patch
Fixed in 4.12.26 by rejecting any chain whose segments include __proto__, constructor, or prototype, reusing the same guard introduced for Jodit.configure() in 4.12.18.
Credit
Responsibly reported by Junming Wu.

GHSA-VQ33-26PR-R4H6
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 17:37 – Updated: 2024-04-01 22:02Overview
Prototype pollution vulnerability in ‘flattenizer’ versions 0.0.5 through 1.0.5 allows an attacker to cause a denial of service and may lead to remote code execution.
Details
The NPM module 'flattenizer' can be abused by Prototype Pollution vulnerability since the function 'unflatten()' did not check for the type of object before assigning value to the property. Due to this flaw an attacker could create a non-existent property or able to manipulate the property which leads to Denial of Service or potentially Remote code execution.
PoC Details
There is no validation before assigning the property to check whether the assigned argument is the Object's own property or not, the property polluted will be directly be assigned thereby polluting the Object prototype. Later in the code, if there is a check to validate polluted the valued would be substituted as "true" as it had been polluted.
var flattenizer = require("flattenizer")
flattenizer.unflatten({'__proto__.polluted': true});
console.log(polluted);

GHSA-VRW9-G62V-7FMF
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-09-24 18:30 – Updated: 2026-01-27 21:06The csvtojson package, a tool for converting CSV data to JSON with customizable parsing capabilities, contains a prototype pollution vulnerability in versions prior to 2.0.10. This issue arises due to insufficient sanitization of nested header names during the parsing process in the parser_jsonarray component. When processing CSV input containing specially crafted header fields that reference prototype chains (e.g., using proto syntax), the application may unintentionally modify properties of the base Object prototype. This vulnerability can lead to denial of service conditions or unexpected behavior in applications relying on unmodified prototype chains, particularly when untrusted CSV data is processed. The flaw does not require user interaction beyond providing a maliciously constructed CSV file.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-06-18 00:00 – Updated: 2022-06-20 22:33This affects all versions of package mout. The deepFillIn function can be used to 'fill missing properties recursively', while the deepMixIn mixes objects into the target object, recursively mixing existing child objects as well. In both cases, the key used to access the target object recursively is not checked, leading to exploiting this vulnerability. Note: This vulnerability derives from an incomplete fix of CVE-2020-7792.

Mitigation
By freezing the object prototype first (for example, Object.freeze(Object.prototype)), modification of the prototype becomes impossible.
Mitigation
By blocking modifications of attributes that resolve to object prototype, such as proto or prototype, this weakness can be mitigated.
Mitigation
Strategy: Input Validation
When handling untrusted objects, validating using a schema can be used.
Mitigation
By using an object without prototypes (via Object.create(null) ), adding object prototype attributes by accessing the prototype via the special attributes becomes impossible, mitigating this weakness.
Mitigation
Map can be used instead of objects in most cases. If Map methods are used instead of object attributes, it is not possible to access the object prototype or modify it.
CAPEC-1: Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs
In applications, particularly web applications, access to functionality is mitigated by an authorization framework. This framework maps Access Control Lists (ACLs) to elements of the application's functionality; particularly URL's for web apps. In the case that the administrator failed to specify an ACL for a particular element, an attacker may be able to access it with impunity. An attacker with the ability to access functionality not properly constrained by ACLs can obtain sensitive information and possibly compromise the entire application. Such an attacker can access resources that must be available only to users at a higher privilege level, can access management sections of the application, or can run queries for data that they otherwise not supposed to.
CAPEC-180: Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels
An attacker exploits a weakness in the configuration of access controls and is able to bypass the intended protection that these measures guard against and thereby obtain unauthorized access to the system or network. Sensitive functionality should always be protected with access controls. However configuring all but the most trivial access control systems can be very complicated and there are many opportunities for mistakes. If an attacker can learn of incorrectly configured access security settings, they may be able to exploit this in an attack.
CAPEC-77: Manipulating User-Controlled Variables
This attack targets user controlled variables (DEBUG=1, PHP Globals, and So Forth). An adversary can override variables leveraging user-supplied, untrusted query variables directly used on the application server without any data sanitization. In extreme cases, the adversary can change variables controlling the business logic of the application. For instance, in languages like PHP, a number of poorly set default configurations may allow the user to override variables.
