Matched on "type confusion"
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.

### 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.
