AC:H reflects the non-default dual-option requirement (columns + group_columns_by_name); no privileges needed but attacker must control CSV content.

ecosystem impact- 1,561 npm packages depend on csv-parse (190 direct, 1,380 indirect)
Ecosystem-wide dependent count for version 7.0.2.
DescriptionCVE.org
node-csv is a full-featured CSV parser with a simple API that is tested against large datasets. Prior to 7.0.2, csv-parse with the columns and group_columns_by_name options enabled treats a duplicate __proto__ header as an existing property in packages/csv-parse/lib/api/index.js, assigns an attacker-controlled array through obj['__proto__'], and replaces the parsed record object's prototype. A malicious CSV header can therefore inject inherited array values into the returned record, hide those inherited values from JSON serialization, and affect property enumeration and type or shape checks in applications that process the record. This issue is fixed in version 7.0.2.
AnalysisAI
Prototype pollution in node-csv's csv-parse package (prior to 7.0.2) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject inherited array values into parsed record objects by supplying a CSV with duplicate __proto__ column headers when both the columns and group_columns_by_name options are enabled. The parser's direct obj['__proto__'] assignment replaces the parsed record's prototype with an attacker-controlled array, causing inherited numeric-index values to be silently hidden from JSON.stringify(), corrupt property enumeration, and subvert type or shape checks in downstream application logic. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Both the columns option and the group_columns_by_name option must be explicitly enabled in the csv-parse invocation - neither is enabled by default. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor-provided CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 uses AC:L, which appears to understate the exploitation requirement: both the columns and group_columns_by_name options must be explicitly enabled together in the csv-parse call - neither is a default. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade csv-parse to version 7.0.2 or later, which fully resolves the prototype pollution via the changes in commit eb4d1484589c976dcb977db8dd0b90e015a6f66e (https://github.com/adaltas/node-csv/pull/497). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
