Description Pedro Sampaio 2022-04-12 19:37:44 UTC 
This affects the package nconf before 0.11.4. When using the memory engine, it is possible to store a nested JSON representation of the configuration. The .set() function, that is responsible for setting the configuration properties, is vulnerable to Prototype Pollution. By providing a crafted property, it is possible to modify the properties on the Object.prototype. Ps.: The fixed version is not fixed completely in 0.11.4 as it stills affects org.webjars.npm:nconf.
