Detailed vulnerability description

The vulnerability allows a remote user to control URL serialization and disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improperly controlled modification of object prototype attributes in resolveConfig or browser-adapter helper paths when processing plain config objects after Object.prototype has already been polluted. A remote user can pollute Object.prototype.paramsSerializer to control URL serialization and disclose sensitive information.

This affects direct resolveConfig or browser-adapter helper usage with plain config objects that do not define their own paramsSerializer property.
