A prototype pollution flaw was found in nodejs-dot-prop. The function set could be tricked into adding or modifying properties of Object.prototype using any of the constructor, prototype, or _proto_ paths. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.
