Prototype corruption via unchecked form-data paths
Published Oct 15, 2025 · Updated Oct 15, 2025
Prototype pollution in sveltekit-superforms 2.27.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to corrupt Object.prototype through crafted form data. parseFormData deserializes __superform_json, derives nested paths from file-parameter names, and passes attacker-controlled paths and values to setPaths without blocking prototype keys. A SvelteKit route must call superValidate on attacker-supplied form data with JSON mode in use; pollution can crash the application, cause type confusion, or enable code execution when a suitable downstream gadget exists.

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.
