Micro-Learning Topic: Prototype pollution (Detected by phrase)Matched on "Prototype Pollution"By adding or modifying attributes of an object prototype, it is possible to create attributes that exist on every object, or replace critical attributes with malicious ones. This can be problematic if the software depends on existence or non-existence of certain attributes, or uses pre-defined attributes of object prototype (such as hasOwnProperty, toString or valueOf).

Prototype Pollution
DescriptionThe problem lies with the manner in which JavaScript implements inheritance by using a prototype. What this means, in a nutshell, is that every object contains a reference to the prototype of its class. When a property is requested from a particular object, the runtime first checks if the instance has the aforementioned property; otherwise, it looks it up in the prototype chain, recursively. The reference to the prototype is available via the Read moreImpactThe impact of Prototype Pollution is ultimately determined by the sensitivity and criticality of the data ingested by the application. It is not a vulnerability that is dangerous per se; rather, it all depends on how the application uses such untrusted properties. In other words, it merely alters the program data and flow. Scenario 1The following example considers an object (in a JavaScript console): > o = {x: 123, __proto__: {toString: () => console.log('Triggered!')}}
{ x: 123 }
> o + ''
Triggered!
'undefined'We have created an object with its own prototype that redefines the While this is important, it is unlikely that some kind of injection (e.g., an injection via GET parameters, cookies, etc.) ends up creating a JavaScript function ( In this case, there is no direct code execution, and the impact is merely that of adding another property to the object; since we are already injecting Scenario 2In this case, however, the application allows the alteration of an existing prototype. Consider the following: const someObject = {};
const someOtherObject = {};
// ...
someObject[UNTRUSTED_NAME_1][UNTRUSTED_NAME_2] = UNTRUSTED_VALUE;
// ...
if (someOtherObject.isAdminEnabled) {
// do some sensitive stuff
}Being able to control UNTRUSTED_NAME_1 = '__proto__';
UNTRUSTED_NAME_2 = 'isAdminEnabled';
UNTRUSTED_VALUE = 'whatever truthy';PreventionThere are different approaches to preventing Prototype Pollution, the most trivial of which is to disallow untrusted data being assigned to arbitrary properties altogether. If this is not possible, developers might implement some filtering so that it is not possible to overwrite TestingVerify that the application protects against JavaScript injection attacks, including for eval attacks, remote JavaScript includes, DOM XSS, and JavaScript expression evaluation.

Micro-Learning Topic: Denial of service (Detected by phrase)Matched on "denial of service"The Denial of Service (DoS) attack is focused on making a resource (site, application, server) unavailable for the purpose it was designed. There are many ways to make a service unavailable for legitimate users by manipulating network packets, programming, logical, or resources handling vulnerabilities, among others.

This will result in immediate changes to the page, potentially without any call to the server. When HTML or script is included in the input, it will be processed by a user's browser as HTML or script and can alter the appearance of the page or execute malicious scripts in their user context.

The attacker’s hostile data can trick the interpreter into executing unintended commands or accessing data without proper authorization.
