Title

hoolock does not block Prototype pollution with object-path related utilities

Summary

hoolock is a suite of lightweight utilities designed to maintain a small footprint when bundled.

Starting in version 2.2.1, the `get`, `set` and `update` functions throw a `TypeError` when a user attempts to access or alter inherited properties.

Severity ?

6.3 (Medium)
