Prototype pollution via malicious token keys
Published Jun 24, 2026 · Updated Jun 24, 2026
Prototype pollution in Style Dictionary 4.3.0 through 5.4.3 allows local users to modify Object.prototype via malicious token keys. convertTokenData strips braces, splits each token key on periods, and assigns the resulting path into a plain object without rejecting proto, so a crafted path writes through the inherited prototype setter. The path is reachable through object-output conversion, enabled Expand API processing, or the transform lifecycle; downstream effects depend on how polluted properties are consumed in a Node.js server, web application, or repository-controlled build.

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.
