NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream npm package and not the npm package as distributed by RHEL.

This affects the package ini before 1.3.6. If an attacker submits a malicious INI file to an application that parses it with ini.parse, they will pollute the prototype on the application. This can be exploited further depending on the context.
