------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3291-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Guilhem Moulin January 29, 2023 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : node-object-path Version : 0.11.4-2+deb10u2 CVE ID : CVE-2021-3805 CVE-2021-23434

It was discovered that node-object-path, a Node.js module to access deep object properties using dot-separated paths, was vulnerable to prototype pollution.

CVE-2021-3805

Prototype pollution vulnerability in the `del()`, `empty()`, `push()` and `insert()` functions when using the inherited props mode (e.g. when a new `object-path` instance is created with the `includeInheritedProps` option set to `true` or when using the `withInheritedProps` default instance).

CVE-2021-23434

A type confusion vulnerability can lead to a bypass of the CVE-2020-15256 fix when the path components used in the path parameter are arrays, because the === operator returns always false when the type of the operands is different.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 0.11.4-2+deb10u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your node-object-path packages.

For the detailed security status of node-object-path please refer to its security tracker page at:
