Service interruption via global prototype pollution
Published Feb 5, 2025 · Updated Feb 6, 2025
Prototype pollution in php-date-formatter 1.3.6 allows remote attackers to interrupt service by submitting a crafted payload. The reported lib.parse entry point accepts JSON containing proto and invokes the Object.prototype setter, modifying properties in the global prototype chain. Exposure requires an integrating application to pass attacker-controlled data into the library; the demonstrated consequence is application failure, while stronger injection impacts require separate downstream gadgets.
