Object prototype modification via reserved path segments
Published May 28, 2026 · Updated May 28, 2026
Prototype pollution in ranfdev deepobj 1.0.2 and earlier allows attackers to modify shared object prototypes through crafted property paths. The path walker in index.js follows dot-separated segments through inherited properties and passes the final segment to the requested action without rejecting reserved prototype keys. Reachability requires a consuming application to expose the path as user input; exploitation changes inherited object state and can disrupt application behavior.
