BaseFortify

Publication date: 2025-09-24

Last updated on: 2025-10-17

Assigner: MITRE

Description
The messageformat package, an implementation of the Unicode MessageFormat 2 specification for JavaScript, is vulnerable to prototype pollution due to improper handling of message key paths in versions prior to 2.3.0. The flaw arises when processing nested message keys containing special characters (e.g., __proto__ ), which can lead to unintended modification of the JavaScript Object prototype. This vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to inject properties into the global object prototype via specially crafted message input, potentially causing denial of service or other undefined behaviors in applications using the affected component.

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability is a prototype pollution issue in the messageformat package for JavaScript versions prior to 2.3.0. It occurs because the package improperly handles nested message keys containing special characters like __proto__, allowing an attacker to modify the global JavaScript Object prototype by injecting properties through crafted message inputs.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

An attacker exploiting this vulnerability can inject properties into the global object prototype, which may lead to denial of service or other unpredictable behaviors in applications that use the affected messageformat package.
