Quick assessment

Affected
digitalbazaar forge
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

Forge（也称为 node-forge）是一个用 JavaScript 原生实现的传输层安全（TLS）库。在 1.4.1 版本之前，forge.http 客户端将 Set-Cookie 响应头中的 cookie 名称和路径存储在普通的 JavaScript 对象中。恶意服务器可利用名为 的 cookie，将攻击者控制的 cookie 路径作为属性写入 ；或者使用如 等继承属性名来修改 对象。若 cookie 值为空，则可通过“移除路径”机制删除 上的继承属性。 直接依赖 forge.http 或通过 forge.

Vulnerability Title
Forge: Prototype Pollution in forge.http cookie handling via a malicious Set-Cookie
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Forge (also called node-forge) is a native implementation of Transport Layer Security in JavaScript. Prior to 1.4.1, the forge.http client stored cookie names and paths from Set-Cookie response headers in ordinary JavaScript objects. A malicious server could use the cookie name __proto__ so that the attacker-controlled cookie path was written as a property on Object.prototype, or use inherited names such as constructor to modify Object. An empty cookie value could use the removal path to delete an inherited Object.prototype property. Applications using forge.http directly or through forge.xhr are affected; applications that do not use forge.http are unaffected. This issue is fixed in version 1.4.1.
