CVE-2024-21529
ADVISORY - githubSummary
Versions of the package dset before 3.1.4 are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution via the dset function due improper user input sanitization. This vulnerability allows the attacker to inject malicious object property using the built-in Object property proto, which is recursively assigned to all the objects in the program.

CVSS:4 Severity and metrics
The CVSS metrics represent different qualitative aspects of a vulnerability that impact the overall score, as defined by the CVSS Specification.
Attack Vector (AV)
Network
Attack Vector (AV)
Network
The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack, but the attack is limited at the protocol level to a logically adjacent topology. This can mean an attack must be launched from the same shared physical (e.g., Bluetooth or IEEE 802.11) or logical (e.g., local IP subnet) network, or from within a secure or otherwise limited administrative domain (e.g., MPLS, secure VPN to an administrative network zone). One example of an Adjacent attack would be an ARP (IPv4) or neighbor discovery (IPv6) flood leading to a denial of service on the local LAN segment (e.g., CVE-2013-6014).
Attack Complexity (AC)
Low
Attack Complexity (AC)
Low
Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success when attacking the vulnerable component.
Attack Requirements (AT)
None
Attack Requirements (AT)
None
The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required (PR)
None
Privileges Required (PR)
None
The attacker is unauthenticated prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction (UI)
None
User Interaction (UI)
None
The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker. Examples include: a remote attacker is able to send packets to a target system a locally authenticated attacker executes code to elevate privileges.
Confidentiality Impact to the Vulnerable System (VC)
None
Confidentiality Impact to the Vulnerable System (VC)
None
There is no loss of confidentiality within the Vulnerable System.
Confidentiality Impact to the Subsequent System (SC)
None
Confidentiality Impact to the Subsequent System (SC)
None
There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Integrity Impact to the Vulnerable System (VI)
High
Integrity Impact to the Vulnerable System (VI)
High
There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the Vulnerable System. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System.
Integrity Impact to the Subsequent System (SI)
None
Integrity Impact to the Subsequent System (SI)
None
There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable System Availability Impact (VA)
Low
Vulnerable System Availability Impact (VA)
Low
Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent System Availability Impact (SA)
None
Subsequent System Availability Impact (SA)
None
There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
