An example is this could allow an attacker to change the prototype of base object class `Object` by tricking an application to parse the following URL: `https://aurelia.io/blog/?__proto__[asdf]=asdf`

CVSS V3 rated as High - 7.5 severity.

CVSS V2 rated as Medium - 5 severity.

Solution

The problem should be patched in version `1.1.7`. Any version earlier than this is vulnerable.Workaround:
A partial work around is to free the Object prototype:
```ts
Object.freeze(Object.prototype)
```
