CVE-2022-21803 (GCVE-0-2022-21803)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-04-12 15:20 – Updated: 2024-09-16 16:53
VLAI?
Summary
This affects the package nconf before 0.11.4. When using the memory engine, it is possible to store a nested JSON representation of the configuration. The .set() function, that is responsible for setting the configuration properties, is vulnerable to Prototype Pollution. By providing a crafted property, it is possible to modify the properties on the Object.prototype.
Severity ?
