Prototype pollution via unfiltered property-path segments
Published Jul 1, 2026 · Updated Jul 1, 2026
Prototype pollution in XDSoft Jodit before 4.12.26 allows attackers to alter inherited JavaScript properties through a crafted key path. Jodit.modules.Helpers.set() splits the dot-separated chain and creates or follows each segment without rejecting proto, constructor, or prototype, so its final assignment can mutate Object.prototype. Exploitation requires an application to pass an attacker-controlled or partly controlled path to this public API; resulting property injection can bypass logic or crash the application.

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.
