@lexical/extension is vulnerable to Prototype Pollution
48
Medium Risk
This Affects:
@lexical/extensionTL;DR
The @lexical/extension package merges theme configuration with deepThemeMergeInPlace, which recursively copies keys from a source object. A __proto__ key produced by JSON.parse is followed during the merge, so merging attacker-influenced theme JSON pollutes the global Object.prototype. Polluted prototype properties then appear on all objects in the application, enabling tampering or denial of service. The fix skips __proto__, constructor, and prototype keys and copies only own properties.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and your application merges attacker-influenced JSON into the editor theme.
