Doc Text:
A flaw was found in joi. This vulnerability, known as prototype pollution, exists in the messages compilation function.

This allows the attacker to manipulate object properties, which could lead to unexpected application behavior or crashes.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-13 10:51:40 UTC
joi before versions 17.13.8 and 18.2.9 contains a prototype pollution vulnerability in the messages compilation function that accepts __proto__ as an error code. Attackers can supply __proto__ keys in custom messages to replace the returned object's prototype, breaking downstream code relying on Object.prototype methods.
