EUVDB-ID: #VU23454

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-19507

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can use a specially crafted json, bypass "compareCommon()", and manipulate the type detection result, because certain internal attributes can be overwritten via a conflicting name, as demonstrated by 'constructor': {'name':'Array'}.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.
