When an attacker supplies a malicious payload, they can inject properties into Object.prototype. As a result, the attacker can cause unexpected behavior in the application, leading to Denial of Service (DoS). Depending on the application and its usage of the polluted objects, the impact could potentially escalate to system compromise or data leakage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"ameeb-3132497350\" class=\"ameeb-content ameeb-entity-placement\"><div class=\"poptin-embedded\" data-id=\"f6b387694f681\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\n<p>Here is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited via a crafted payload:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">var spmrc = require(&#039;spmrc&#039;);\nspmrc.set(&#039;__proto__.polluted&#039;, &#039;Prototype Polluted&#039;);\nconsole.log(polluted); \/\/ Output: Prototype Polluted<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>In this example, the attacker injects a property, &#8216;polluted&#8217;, on the Object prototype by using the set function.
