Improperly Controlled Modification of Object Prototype Attributes ('Prototype Pollution') Affecting nodejs-devel package, versions <1:16.18.1-3.module+el8.7.0+20893+df13f383

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nodejs-devel package and not the nodejs-devel package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Due to the formatting logic of the "console.table()" function it was not safe to allow user controlled input to be passed to the "properties" parameter while simultaneously passing a plain object with at least one property as the first parameter, which could be "proto". The prototype pollution has very limited control, in that it only allows an empty string to be assigned to numerical keys of the object prototype.Node.js >= 12.22.9, >= 14.18.3, >= 16.13.2, and >= 17.3.1 use a null protoype for the object these properties are being assigned to.
