Network vector applies when user input reaches the function; AC:H because a specific vulnerable code path in the consuming application is required; S:C because Object.prototype pollution affects the entire runtime beyond the immediate component.

Summary

Jodit.modules.Helpers.set(chain, value, obj) walks the dot-separated chain, creating and following each path segment, without filtering prototype-mutating keys. A chain that begins with (or contains) __proto__, constructor, or prototype lets the final assignment reach and mutate Object.prototype (prototype pollution).

Affected

  • Package: jodit (npm)
  • Versions: < 4.12.26
  • Public API: Jodit.modules.Helpers.set(chain, value, obj)

Proof of Concept

js
const { Jodit } = require('jodit');
delete Object.prototype.polluted;
Jodit.modules.Helpers.set('__proto__.polluted', 'yes', {});
console.log(({}).polluted); // "yes" (before the fix)
delete Object.prototype.polluted;

Impact

Applications that pass a user-controlled or partially user-controlled key path into Jodit.modules.Helpers.set() could be vulnerable to prototype pollution (CWE-1321): unexpected property injection, logic bypass, denial of service, or secondary security issues.

Patch

Fixed in 4.12.26 by rejecting any chain whose segments include __proto__, constructor, or prototype, reusing the same guard introduced for Jodit.configure() in 4.12.18.

Credit

Responsibly reported by Junming Wu.

AnalysisAI

Prototype pollution in the Jodit WYSIWYG editor npm package (versions < 4.12.26) allows mutation of Object.prototype via the public helper API Jodit.modules.Helpers.set(). When an application passes user-controlled or partially user-controlled key paths to this function, an attacker can inject arbitrary properties into the global Object.prototype, enabling logic bypass, denial of service, or secondary security issues throughout the entire JavaScript runtime. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the consuming application passes a user-controlled or externally-influenced string as the chain argument to Jodit.modules.Helpers.set(). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Real-world risk depends heavily on whether application code passes user-controlled strings to Jodit.modules.Helpers.set(). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A web application uses Jodit as its editor component and exposes an API endpoint that accepts a JSON body containing a configuration key path, passing it directly to Jodit.modules.Helpers.set(keyPath, value, config). An unauthenticated attacker sends a POST request with the key path set to __proto__.isAdmin and value true; the function walks the chain without validation, mutating Object.prototype so that every subsequent object literal in the process inherits isAdmin: true. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: jodit 4.12.26. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
