Summary
### Impact The `forge.debug` API had a potential prototype pollution issue if called with untrusted input. The API was only used for internal debug purposes in a safe way and never documented or advertised. It is suspected that uses of this API, if any exist, would likely not have used untrusted inputs in a vulnerable way. ### Patches The `forge.debug` API and related functions were removed in 1.0.0. ### Workarounds Don't use the `forge.debug` API directly or indirectly with untrusted input. ### References - https://www.huntr.dev/bounties/1-npm-node-forge/ ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [forge](https://github.com/digitalbazaar/forge). * Email us at [email protected].
