ts-deepmerge: Prototype Method Override leads to DoS

  • Disclosed: 19.06.2026
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

Versions of the package ts-deepmerge before 8.0.0 are vulnerable to Uncaught Exception due to the improper handling of built-in Object.prototype methods (such as toString, valueOf). When user-controlled input contains these keys with non-function values, the resulting merged object becomes broken — any string context operation throws a TypeError, crashing the application.
