Summary

Sveltejs devalue before 5.6.4 contains a prototype injection flaw in its parsing code, tracked as CWE-1321. Crafted serialized input can inject __proto__ own properties into objects returned by devalue.parse and devalue.unflatten. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this when downstream code merges the results with Object.assign, which alters the target object's prototype.

Description from the CNA

Sveltejs devalue before 5.6.4 contains a prototype injection vulnerability that allows attackers to inject __proto__ own properties into objects returned by devalue.parse and devalue.unflatten. Attackers can supply crafted serialized input that, when downstream code merges results via Object.assign, alters the target object's prototype.
