CVE-2025-64718 (GCVE-0-2025-64718)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-11-13 15:32 – Updated: 2025-11-13 16:18

Summary

js-yaml is a JavaScript YAML parser and dumper. In js-yaml 4.1.0 and below, it's possible for an attacker to modify the prototype of the result of a parsed yaml document via prototype pollution (`__proto__`). All users who parse untrusted yaml documents may be impacted. The problem is patched in js-yaml 4.1.1. Users can protect against this kind of attack on the server by using `node --disable-proto=delete` or `deno` (in Deno, pollution protection is on by default).

Severity ?

5.3 (Medium)
