QID 981063

QID 981063: Nodejs (npm) Security Update for mpath (GHSA-p92x-r36w-9395)

This affects the package mpath before 0.8.4. A type confusion vulnerability can lead to a bypass of CVE-2018-16490. In particular, the condition ignoreProperties.indexOf(parts[i]) !== -1 returns -1 if parts[i] is ['__proto__']. This is because the method that has been called if the input is an array is Array.prototype.indexOf() and not String.prototype.indexOf(). They behave differently depending on the type of the input.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the targeted user.

CVSS V3 rated as Critical - 9.8 severity.

CVSS V2 rated as High - 7.5 severity.
