Process-wide logic corruption via prototype pollution
Published Sep 14, 2026 · Updated Sep 14, 2026
Prototype pollution in Confetti Yayson 4.2.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to corrupt process-wide object behavior via JSON:API data. Store and LegacyStore index plain-object caches directly with document-controlled type, id, and relationship names, so a proto type redirects model writes into Object.prototype. Exploitation requires a consuming application to pass attacker-controlled JSON:API documents; denial of service and logic corruption are direct, while authorization bypass or code execution requires a suitable application gadget.
