SEVERITY
CVSS v3.x: 5.6 (Medium)
CVSS v2.0: 6.8 (Medium)
PATCHED VERSIONS
- >= 4.17.11
DESCRIPTION
Versions of lodash
before 4.17.11 are vulnerable to
prototype pollution.
The vulnerable functions are 'defaultsDeep', 'merge', and
'mergeWith' which allow a malicious user to modify the
prototype of Object
via {constructor: {prototype:
{...}}}
causing the addition or modification of an existing
property that will exist on all objects.
Recommendation
Update to version 4.17.11 or later.
