    <title>GHSA-7rx3-28cr-v5wh — Handlebars.js has a Prototype Method Access Control Gap via Missing __lookupSetter__ Blocklist Entry</title>

      <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p><strong>Affected:</strong> npm: handlebars</p>
<p>## Summary</p>
<p>The prototype method blocklist in `lib/handlebars/internal/proto-access.js` blocks `constructor`, `__defineGetter__`, `__defineSetter__`, and `__lookupGetter__`, but omits the symmetric `__lookupSetter__`. This omission is only exploitable when the non-default runtime option `allowProtoMethodsByDefault: true` is explicitly set — in that configuration `__lookupSetter__` becomes accessible while its counterparts remain blocked, creating an inconsistent security boundary.</p>
<p>`4.6.0` is the version that introduced `protoAccessControl` and the `allowProtoMethodsByDefault` runtime option.</p>
<p>## Description</p>
<p>In `lib/handlebars/internal/proto-access.js`:</p>
<p>```javascript
const methodWhiteList = Object.create(null);
methodWhiteList['constructor']      = false;
methodWhiteList['__defineGetter__'] = false;
methodWhiteList['__defineSetter__'] = false;
methodWhiteList['__lookupGetter__'] = false;
// __lookupSetter__ intentionally blocked in CVE-2021-23383,
// but omitted here — creating an asymmetric blocklist
```</p>
<p>All four legacy accessor helpers (`__defineGetter__`, `__defineSetter__`, `__lookupGetter__`, `__lookupSetter__`) were involved in the exploit chain addressed by CVE-2021-23383. Three of the four were explicitly blocked; `__lookupSetter__` was left out.</p>
<p>When `allowProtoMethodsByDefault: true` is set, any prototype method **not present** in `methodWhiteList` is permitted by default. Because `__lookupSetter__` is absent from the list, it passes the `checkWhiteList` check…</p></div>
