Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Prototype pollution (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-56763)

CWE-ID: CWE-1321 - Improperly Controlled Modification of Object Prototype Attributes (\'Prototype Pollution\')

CVSSv4: 6.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information and modify data in application objects.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in parseBody({ dot: true }) when parsing specially crafted form field names using dot notation. A remote attacker can send specially crafted form fields such as __proto__.x to disclose sensitive information and modify data in application objects.

Exploitation requires the application to later merge the parsed result into regular JavaScript objects using unsafe merge patterns.
