When attackers are able to manipulate the memory reserved for objects directly, they can then pass a reference to a crafted block of memory to be used in the place of a valid object type. This triggers the run time engine to execute arbitrary code which is under the control of the attacker due to the induced type confusion.
Use of vulnerable components will introduce weaknesses into the application. Components with published vulnerabilities will allow easy exploitation as resources will often be available to automate the process.

Found in base branch: main
### Vulnerability DetailsThis affects the package mpath before 0.8.4. A type confusion vulnerability can lead to a bypass of CVE-2018-16490. In particular, the condition ignoreProperties.indexOf(parts[i]) !== -1 returns -1 if parts[i] is ['__proto__']. This is because the method that has been called if the input is an array is Array.prototype.indexOf() and not String.prototype.indexOf(). They behave differently depending on the type of the input.
