Service interruption via unsafe recursive object merge
Published Mar 28, 2025 · Updated Apr 1, 2025
Prototype pollution in Redoc before 2.4.0 allows remote attackers to interrupt service via a crafted object passed to mergeObjects. Module.mergeObjects recursively copies source keys without rejecting proto, allowing an own property to modify Object.prototype across the process. The path requires a consuming application to pass attacker-controlled object data; no authentication or user interaction is required, and only service availability is reported.
