Prototype Pollution in cached-path-relative

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published Jan 27, 2022 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Jan 31, 2023

Package

npm cached-path-relative (npm)

Affected versions

< 1.1.0

Patched versions

1.1.0

Description

The package cached-path-relative before 1.1.0 is vulnerable to Prototype Pollution via the cache variable that is set as {} instead of Object.create(null) in the cachedPathRelative function, which allows access to the parent prototype properties when the object is used to create the cached relative path. When using the origin path as proto, the attribute of the object is accessed instead of a path. Note: This vulnerability derives from an incomplete fix in https://security.snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JS-CACHEDPATHRELATIVE-72573
