      <title>GHSA-75px-5xx7-5xc7 — protobuf.js: Code generation gadget after prototype pollution</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/ghsa-75px-5xx7-5xc7</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; npm: protobufjs&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;## Summary&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;protobufjs used plain objects with inherited prototypes for internal type lookup tables used by generated encode and decode functions. If `Object.prototype` had already been polluted, those lookup tables could resolve attacker-controlled inherited properties as valid protobuf type information.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This could cause attacker-controlled strings to be emitted into generated JavaScript code.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;## Impact&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An attacker who can first trigger a prototype pollution vulnerability may be able to influence generated protobufjs encode or decode functions in a way that can lead to arbitrary JavaScript execution.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This issue requires a separate prototype pollution primitive before protobufjs is invoked.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Applications without a reachable prototype pollution primitive are not directly exploitable through this issue alone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;## Preconditions&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- The application or one of its dependencies must allow an attacker to pollute `Object.prototype`.
- The polluted property must affect protobufjs internal type lookup behavior.
- The application must use protobufjs functionality that generates encode or decode code for affected types.
- The generated code path must be reached after the prototype pollution has occurred.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;## Workarounds&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Avoid running affected versions in applications where attacker-controlled input can pollute `Object.prototype`. If immediate upgrade is not possible, remove or mitigate reachable prototype pollution primitives and isolate schema/message processing from untrusted appli…&lt;/p&gt;</description>
