Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improperly controlled modification of object prototype attributes in the Cloud Function endpoint dispatch logic when handling a Cloud Function request with a prototype property name as the function name. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to cause a denial of service.
Requests using other prototype property names or dot-notation traversal may bypass Cloud Function dispatch validation and return HTTP 200 responses even when no such Cloud Functions are defined.
