NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream node-deep-extend package and not the node-deep-extend package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

The utilities function in all versions <= 0.5.0 of the deep-extend node module can be tricked into modifying the prototype of Object when the attacker can control part of the structure passed to this function. This can let an attacker add or modify existing properties that will exist on all objects.
