Summary
Sveltejs devalue from 0 before 5.6.3 contains a prototype pollution flaw (CWE-1321) in uneval. Supplying untrusted data to uneval alters object prototypes, so the generated code creates objects with polluted prototypes when it is later evaluated. A remote attacker with high privileges can produce output whose shape differs from the original input.
