This payload utilizes the attachToObject function of the web3-core-method package to modify the prototype of the targeted object. This results in a pollution of the object&#8217;s prototype. Depending on the properties injected, this can lead to a variety of consequences, from DoS to potential system compromise or data leakage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The following is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited:<\/p><div id=\"ameeb-3148046748\" 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<pre><code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">let payload = JSON.parse(&#039;{&quot;__proto__&quot; : {&quot;polluted&quot; : &quot;Prototype Polluted&quot;}}&#039;);\nweb3CoreMethod.attachToObject(payload);<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>In this example, a malicious payload is parsed and passed to the `attachToObject` method of the `web3-core-method` package. Once the payload is attached, the prototype of all objects becomes polluted with the malicious properties, leading to the potential exploitation of the system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview The Prototype Pollution vulnerability CVE-2025-57329 is a significant issue that affects the web3-core-method package.
