Prototype Pollution in fullpage.js

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published Apr 12, 2022 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Jan 27, 2023

Package

npm fullpage.js (npm)

Affected versions

< 4.0.2

Patched versions

4.0.2

Description

fullPage utils are available to developers using window.fp_utils. They can use these utils for their own use-case (other than fullPage) as well. However, one of the utils deepExtend is vulnerable to Prototype Pollution vulnerability.

Javascript is "prototype" language which means when a new "object" is created, it carries the predefined properties and methods of an "object" with itself like toString, constructor etc. By using prototype-pollution vulnerability, an attacker can overwrite/create the property of that "object" type. If the victim developer has used that property anywhere in the code, then it will have severe effect on the application.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.

Weaknesses

Improperly Controlled Modification of Object Prototype Attributes ('Prototype Pollution')

The product receives input from an upstream component that specifies attributes that are to be initialized or updated in an object, but it does not properly control modifications of attributes of the object prototype. Learn more on MITRE.
