JavaScript vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

A prototype pollution vulnerability was identified in the GitHub repository robinbuschmann/sequelize-typescript affecting versions prior to 2.1.6. The vulnerability was discovered and disclosed on November 24, 2023, impacting the Node.js-based Sequelize TypeScript library (NVD, CVE).

Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-1321 (Improperly Controlled Modification of Object Prototype Attributes) and has received a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.1 (HIGH) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H. An alternative assessment from huntr.dev assigned a CVSS 3.0 base score of 7.5 (HIGH) with the vector string CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H (NVD).

Impact

The vulnerability could allow an attacker to modify object prototype attributes, potentially leading to high-impact compromises in integrity and availability of the affected system. The issue specifically relates to incorrect handling of object prototypes, which could expose the application to prototype pollution attacks (NVD).

Mitigation and workarounds

A fix has been implemented in version 2.1.6 of sequelize-typescript. The patch prevents modification of object prototypes by explicitly denying modifications to 'proto', 'constructor', and 'prototype' properties (GitHub Patch).
