Vulnerability Title
protobufjs: Code generation gadget after prototype pollution
Source: NVD (National Vulnerability Database)
Vulnerability Description
protobufjs compiles protobuf definitions into JavaScript (JS) functions. Prior to 7.5.6 and 8.0.2, protobufjs used plain objects with inherited prototypes for internal type lookup tables used by generated encode and decode functions. If Object.prototype had already been polluted, those lookup tables could resolve attacker-controlled inherited properties as valid protobuf type information. This could cause attacker-controlled strings to be emitted into generated JavaScript code. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.5.6 and 8.0.2.

Vulnerability Title
protobuf.js 代码注入漏洞
Source: CNNVD (China National Vulnerability Database)
Vulnerability Description
protobuf.js是The protobuf.js Project开源的一个纯 JavaScript 实现，具有对node.js和浏览器的TypeScript支持的协议缓冲区实现。它易于使用，速度极快，并且通过.proto文件可以开箱即用！ protobuf.js 7.5.6之前版本和8.0.2之前版本存在代码注入漏洞，该漏洞源于使用具有继承原型的普通对象作为内部类型查找表，可能导致攻击者控制的继承属性被解析为有效protobuf类型信息。
