Prototype pollution via unsafe inherited-property copying
Published Jul 21, 2026 · Updated Jul 21, 2026
Prototype pollution in @nevware21/ts-utils before 0.14.0 allows attackers to modify application object prototypes via crafted input. The _copyProps function in lib/src/object/copy.ts copies inherited properties and dangerous keys without an own-property check or key filter. Exploitation requires attacker-controlled data to reach objDeepCopy or objCopyProps, after which polluted properties can affect every object sharing the modified prototype.
