Summary

In some circumstances, `devalue.parse` and `devalue.unflatten` could emit objects with `__proto__` own properties. This in and of itself is not a security vulnerability (and is possible with, for example, `JSON.parse` as well), but it can result in prototype injection if _downstream_ code handles it incorrectly: ```ts const result = devalue.parse(/* input creating an object with a __proto__ property */); const target = {}; Object.assign(target, result); // target's prototype is now polluted ```

Why it matters now

Fix Fixed devalue (npm): 5.6.4
