GCVE Workshop - 22 September 2026 (14:00-18:00), Luxembourg Before The Vulnopticon Conference - Registration

GHSA-5RRQ-PXF6-6JX5

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-01-08 00:22 – Updated: 2022-01-07 22:20
VLAI
Summary
Prototype Pollution in node-forge debug API.
Details

Impact

The forge.debug API had a potential prototype pollution issue if called with untrusted input. The API was only used for internal debug purposes in a safe way and never documented or advertised. It is suspected that uses of this API, if any exist, would likely not have used untrusted inputs in a vulnerable way.

Patches

The forge.debug API and related functions were removed in 1.0.0.

Workarounds

Don't use the forge.debug API directly or indirectly with untrusted input.
