DescriptionCVE.org

billboard.js before 3.15.1 was discovered to contain a prototype pollution via the function generate, which could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via injecting arbitrary properties.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A critical vulnerability (CVE-2025-49223) in billboard.js enables remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or crash affected applications through prototype pollution attacks. Organizations using billboard.js versions before 3.15.1 face immediate risk of data breach, service disruption, or system compromise, with no vendor patch currently available.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls
  1. Deploy WAF rules targeting prototype pollution patterns in billboard.js (Object.assign, constructor modifications, __proto__ manipulation). 2) Implement strict input validation and sanitization for all data passed to generate() function. 3) Apply network segmentation to limit exposure of billboard.js applications. 4) Disable the generate() function if business operations permit. 5) Run applications in sandboxed/containerized environments with minimal privileges. 6) Monitor for suspicious process execution and memory access patterns. 7) Consider temporary deprecation of billboard.js visualizations pending patch availability.

Attack Technique

Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.

Denial of Service attacks render applications or systems unavailable by overwhelming resources or triggering failure conditions.
