Application denial of service via prototype pollution
Published Sep 24, 2025 · Updated Sep 24, 2025
Prototype pollution in the set and config functions of spmrc 1.2.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to interrupt applications. The set function splits an attacker-controlled dotted key and writes its segments through a plain object, so a first segment of proto resolves Object.prototype and the second segment becomes a global inherited property; config delegates two-argument calls to set. Exploitation requires a consuming Node.js application to pass attacker-controlled keys and truthy values to these APIs, and the bounded consequence is application instability or denial of service.
