Description Marian Rehak 2021-01-20 08:36:40 UTC

When the source object contains a property named _proto_ defined with Object.defineProperty() , the condition that checks if the property exists and is an object on both the target and the source passes and the merge recurses with the target, being the prototype of Object and the source of Object as defined by the attacker. Properties are then copied on the Object prototype.

Comment 11 Przemyslaw Roguski 2021-02-04 12:57:12 UTC

Statement:

Red Hat Virtualization includes affected version of nodejs-immer, however the usage does not meet the conditions required to exploit the flaw, therefore the impact is Low.

In OpenShift Container Platform 4.6 (OCP) the openshift4/ose-prometheus container ships the vulnerable version of the nodejs-immer, however the Prometheus react-ui is disabled, hence this flaw cannot be exploited. As openshift4/ose-prometheus container still packages the vulnerable code, this component is affected with impact Low. This may be fixed in a future release.
