msgpack5: Partial options disable prototype protection
CVSS 6.5
EPSS <1%Fix available
[ Description ]Official description
msgpack5 is a msgpack v5 implementation for node.js and the browser. Prior to 6.1.0, constructing msgpack5 with an empty or partial options object disables the default protoAction: 'error' protection. A decoded map containing a __proto__ key can then replace the decoded object's prototype, potentially changing inherited properties or downstream behavior, although Object.prototype is not modified globally. This issue is fixed in version 6.1.0.
