Service interruption via prototype-property path assignment
Published Feb 5, 2025 · Updated Feb 6, 2025
Prototype pollution in dot-qs 0.2.0 allows remote attackers to interrupt a Node.js service through a crafted query-string payload. The lib.parse routine treats attacker-controlled dot-separated keys as object paths and writes their values without blocking prototype properties. Exploitation requires a consuming application to pass remote input into parse; polluted inherited properties can trigger JavaScript exceptions and interrupt that process.
