Prototype Pollution in node-forge
The package node-forge before 0.10.0 is vulnerable to Prototype Pollution via the util.setPath function. Note: Version 0.10.0 is a breaking change removing the vulnerable functions.
BREAKING: Node.js 4 no longer supported. The code may still work, and
non-invasive patches to keep it working will be considered. However, more
modern tools no longer support old Node.js versions making testing difficult.
Removed
BREAKING: Remove util.getPath, util.setPath, and util.deletePath.
util.setPath had a potential prototype pollution security issue when used
with unsafe inputs. These functions are not used by forge itself. They date
from an early time when forge was targeted at providing general helper
functions. The library direction changed to be more focused on cryptography.
Many other excellent libraries are more suitable for general utilities. If
you need a replacement for these functions, consier get, set, and unset
from lodash. But also consider the potential similar
security issues with those APIs.
0.9.2 - 2020-09-01
Changed
Added util.setPath security note to function docs and to README.
Notes
SECURITY: The util.setPath function has the potential to cause
prototype pollution if used with unsafe input.
This function is not used internally by forge.
The rest of the library is unaffected by this issue.
Do not use unsafe input with this function.
Usage with known input should function as expected. (Including input
intentionally using potentially problematic keys.)
No code changes will be made to address this issue in 0.9.x. The current
behavior could be considered a feature rather than a security issue.
0.10.0 will be released that removes util.getPath and util.setPath.
Consider get and set from lodash if you need
replacements. But also consider the potential similar security issues with
those APIs.
