The package protobufjs before 6.11.3 are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution which can allow an attacker to add/modify properties of the Object.prototype.
This vulnerability can occur in multiple ways:
1. by providing untrusted user input to util.setProperty or to ReflectionObject.setParsedOption functions
2. by parsing/loading .proto files
:heavy_check_mark: This issue was automatically closed by Mend because the vulnerable library in the specific branch(es) was either marked as ignored or it is no longer part of the Mend inventory.
