DescriptionGitHub Advisory

Dottie provides nested object access and manipulation in JavaScript. Versions 2.0.4 through 2.0.6 contain an incomplete fix for CVE-2023-26132. The prototype pollution guard introduced in commit 7d3aee1 only validates the first segment of a dot-separated path, allowing an attacker to bypass the protection by placing __proto__ at any position other than the first. Both dottie.set() and dottie.transform() are affected. Version 2.0.7 contains an updated fix to address the residual vulnerability.

AnalysisAI

Dottie versions 2.0.4 through 2.0.6 suffer from an incomplete prototype pollution fix that allows attackers to bypass validation by placing __proto__ in non-first positions within dot-separated paths, affecting both dottie.set() and dottie.transform() functions. An attacker can exploit this to pollute object prototypes and achieve limited confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. Public exploit code exists and a patch is available in version 2.0.7.
