Summary
Prompty is a markdown file format (.prompty) for LLM prompts. Prior to 0.1.5 and 2.0.0-beta.5, the TypeScript Nunjucks renderer evaluated untrusted .prompty template bodies with unrestricted JavaScript member access. An attacker-controlled template could traverse constructor and prototype properties to execute JavaScript in the host Node.js process. This issue is fixed in versions 0.1.5 and 2.0.0-beta.5.
