Prototype Pollution In devalue
Description
Sveltejs devalue's devalue.parse and devalue.unflatten emit objects with __proto__ own properties
In some circumstances, devalue.parse and devalue.unflatten could emit objects with __proto__ own properties. This in and of itself is not a security vulnerability (and is possible with, for example, JSON.parse as well), but it can result in prototype injection if downstream code handles it incorrectly:
const result = devalue.parse(/* input creating an object with a __proto__ property */); const target = {}; Object.assign(target, result); // target's prototype is now polluted
