Unauthorized record modification via internal state assignment
Published Jan 13, 2026 · Updated Jan 13, 2026
Mass assignment in AdonisJS Lucid before 21.8.2 and 22.0.0-next.0 through 22.0.0-next.5 allows remote attackers to modify records. BaseModelImpl accepts keys such as $isPersisted and $attributes because its hasOwnProperty check treats internal state fields as valid merge targets. Exploitation requires an application to pass attacker-controlled data with unknown properties into model assignment methods; strict allowlists block the path, while successful injection changes ORM decisions or stored fields.

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.
- Affected versionversion=< 21.8.2
- Affected versionversion=>= 22.0.0-next.0, < 22.0.0-next.6
