Improperly Controlled Modification of Object Prototype Attributes ('Prototype Pollution') Affecting kubeflow-pipelines package, versions <2.18.0-r0

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

stream-json is a micro-library of stream components for processing JSON and JSONC with a minimal memory footprint. Prior to 3.6.0, Assembler materializes object properties with plain assignment, so an input key named proto invokes the inherited setter and causes parsed object prototype replacement instead of creating an own data property. Applications that make authorization or feature decisions from inherited values can therefore consume attacker-controlled properties, and a null prototype can disrupt code that expects Object.prototype methods. The researcher treats parsing untrusted JSON as part of the project contract, while the maintainer states that documented inputs are locally owned dumps, exports, or logs and characterizes the attack vector as local. The global Object.prototype is not polluted. This issue is fixed in version 3.6.0.
