An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-35209 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- defu (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 6.1.5\n- defu (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 6.1.5\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-35209/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-35209/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-35209","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-35209/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-35209","record":{"aliases":["CLEANSTART-2026-IE76846","CLEANSTART-2026-KZ86783","CLSA-2026-1780879894","CLSA-2026-1784596329","GHSA-737v-mqg7-c878","MINI-2f5m-5j4r-jgq5","MINI-86mw-5jgf-fm87","MINI-rvr3-xm99-6w8p","ROOT-APP-NPM-CVE-2026-35209"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"JavaScript utility library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Prototype pollution in defu allows attackers to override default values via crafted input, potentially leading to code execution or security bypasses.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"defu","vendor":"unjs"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1321","name":"Improperly Controlled Modification of Object Prototype Attributes"}],"description":"defu is software that allows uers to assign default properties recursively. Prior to version 6.1.5, applications that pass unsanitized user input (e.g. parsed JSON request bodies, database records, or config files from untrusted sources) as the first argument to `defu()` are vulnerable to prototype pollution. A crafted payload containing a `__proto__` key can override intended default values in the merged resul. The internal `_defu` function used `Object.assign({}, defaults)` to copy the defaults object. `Object.assign` invokes the `__proto__` setter, which replaces the resulting object's `[[Prototype]]` with attacker-controlled values. Properties inherited from the polluted prototype then bypass the existing `__proto__` key guard in the `for...in` loop and land in the final result. Version 6.1.5 replaces `Object.assign({}, defaults)` with object spread (`{ ...defaults }`), which uses `[[DefineOwnProperty]]` and does not invoke the `__proto__` setter.","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"defu: Prototype pollution via `__proto__` key in defaults argument","id":"CVE-2026-35209","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":null,"products":[],"type":"other","year":"2026"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"OpenCTI: Authorization Bypass via `synchronized-upsert` HTTP Header Injection","id":"CVE-2026-35210"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["6.1.5"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"defu","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-737v-mqg7-c878"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["6.1.5"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"defu","purl":"pkg:npm/defu","source":"GHSA-737v-mqg7-c878"}],"prev":{"headline":"lichess.org has an Unsanitized Stream Title Injection on /streamer","id":"CVE-2026-35208"},"products":["defu"],"published":"2026-04-06","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-06","vendors":["unjs"]},"summary":"Prototype pollution in defu allows attackers to override default values via crafted input, potentially leading to code execution or security bypasses.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-35209/"}
