CVE-2026-8657
Last modified
CVE-2026-8657 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.2/10 on the CVSS scale. Versions of the package jsondiffpatch before 0.7.6 are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution via the jsondiffpatch.patch() and jsondiffpatch/formatters/jsonpatch.patch() APIs. An attacker can perform prototype pollution by supplying crafted delta or JSON Patch documents, as attacker-controlled property names and path segments are used to traverse and modify objects without restricting access to special properties like __proto__ or constructor.prototype, allowing modification of Object.prototype.. EPSS estimates a 0.37% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
