All the vulnerabilities related to the version 0.7.0 of the package
Prototype Pollution in nconf
nconf before 0.11.4. When using the memory engine, it is possible to store a nested JSON representation of the configuration. The .set() function, that is responsible for setting the configuration properties, is vulnerable to Prototype Pollution. By providing a crafted property, it is possible to modify the properties on the Object.prototype.
Prototype Pollution in minimist
Affected versions of minimist
are vulnerable to prototype pollution. Arguments are not properly sanitized, allowing an attacker to modify the prototype of Object
, causing the addition or modification of an existing property that will exist on all objects.
Parsing the argument --__proto__.y=Polluted
adds a y
property with value Polluted
to all objects. The argument --__proto__=Polluted
raises and uncaught error and crashes the application.
This is exploitable if attackers have control over the arguments being passed to minimist
.
Upgrade to versions 0.2.1, 1.2.3 or later.
Prototype Pollution in minimist
Minimist prior to 1.2.6 and 0.2.4 is vulnerable to Prototype Pollution via file index.js
, function setKey()
(lines 69-95).
