Authenticated arbitrary code execution via setDebug pollution
Published Jun 17, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Prototype pollution in Andy Wardley Badger Database 1.2.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code. The setDebug export accepts an object containing proto and propagates its properties to Object.prototype, as the published proof of concept demonstrates. Exploitation requires an application to pass attacker-controlled data to setDebug; the prototype mutation changes behavior across objects in that process.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
