Conversation
This patch addresses a Prototype Pollution vulnerability in the `assign` polyfill in `luaparse.js` and `luaparse.mjs`. When merging parser options with default options, dangerous keys like `__proto__`, `constructor`, and `prototype` were not filtered out. This could allow an attacker supplying malicious options payloads to pollute the prototype chain of subsequent objects. This fix adds a block-list check before copying properties.

Pull request overview
This PR aims to mitigate a prototype-pollution vector in luaparse.parse() option merging by blocking dangerous keys during options assignment, and records the finding/remediation guidance in the Jules sentinel log.
Changes:
- Add a blocklist for
__proto__,constructor, andprototypeduring property copy in theassignpolyfill (luaparse.js). - Add a security note entry describing the issue and prevention guidance (
.jules/sentinel.md).

🚨 Severity: CRITICAL
💡 Vulnerability: Prototype Pollution. In the
assignpolyfill (luaparse.js), properties from source objects were merged into destination objects without filtering keys.🎯 Impact: If an attacker can supply malicious properties like
__proto__toluaparse.parse()options, they could pollute the globalObject.prototype, potentially leading to Denial of Service (DoS) or unexpected application behavior and subsequent attacks.🔧 Fix: Added a check inside the
assignloop to ignore__proto__,constructor, andprototypeduring property copying.✅ Verification: Verified by unit tests. Evaluated local prototype pollution payload parsing which proved it no longer modifies the generic Object prototype.
