CVE-2021-42581 (GCVE-0-2021-42581)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-05-10 10:08 – Updated: 2024-08-04 03:38 Disputed
VLAI
Summary
Prototype poisoning in function mapObjIndexed in Ramda 0.27.0 and earlier allows attackers to compromise integrity or availability of application via supplying a crafted object (that contains an own property "__proto__") as an argument to the function. NOTE: the vendor disputes this because the observed behavior only means that a user can create objects that the user didn't know would contain custom prototypes
