Prototype pollution in set-in

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 09.02.2026 Published: 11.02.2026 Updated: 11.02.2026

set-in provides the set value of nested associative structure given array of keys. A prototype pollution vulnerability exists in the the npm package set-in (>=2.0.1, < 2.0.5). Despite a previous fix that attempted to mitigate prototype pollution by checking whether user input contained a forbidden key, it is still possible to pollute Object.prototype via a crafted input using Array.prototype. This has been fixed in version 2.0.5.
