The OWASP NodeGoat project provides an environment to learn how OWASP Top 10 security risks apply to web applications developed using Node.js and how to effectively address them.
Vulnerable Package issue exists @ Npm-minimist-0.0.8 in branch master
Affected versions of minimist are vulnerable to prototype pollution. Arguments are not properly sanitized, allowing an attacker to modify the prototype of Object, causing the addition or modification of an existing property that will exist on all objects.
Parsing the argument --proto.y=Polluted adds a y property with value Polluted to all objects. The argument --proto=Polluted raises an uncaught error and crashes the application.
This is exploitable if attackers have control over the arguments being passed to minimist.
