Vulnerability Details

This affects the package set-value before <2.0.1, >=3.0.0 <4.0.1. A type confusion vulnerability can lead to a bypass of CVE-2019-10747 when the user-provided keys used in the path parameter are arrays. Mend Note: After conducting further research, Mend has determined that all versions of set-value before versions 2.0.1, 4.0.1 are vulnerable to CVE-2021-23440.
