Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the impacted component are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

CVE published 1 Jul 2024
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2024-39003, organizations should: 1) Monitor for and apply official patches or updates from the amoyjs project as soon as they become available. 2) In the absence of patches, restrict or sanitize all untrusted input that interacts with the setValue function or similar object property setters to prevent injection of prototype properties. 3) Employ runtime security tools or JavaScript sandboxing techniques that detect or block prototype pollution attempts. 4) Conduct code reviews and static analysis focusing on object property assignments to identify and remediate unsafe patterns. 5) Implement strict Content Security Policies (CSP) and use security headers to reduce the attack surface. 6) Educate developers about prototype pollution risks and secure coding practices. 7) Monitor application logs and network traffic for anomalous behavior indicative of exploitation attempts. These targeted actions go beyond generic advice by focusing on the specific vulnerable function and the nature of prototype pollution.

Description

amoyjs amoy common v1.0.10 was discovered to contain a prototype pollution via the function setValue. This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via injecting arbitrary properties.

Impact

The impact of CVE-2024-39003 is considerable for organizations relying on the amoyjs amoy common library in their JavaScript applications. Successful exploitation can lead to arbitrary code execution, allowing attackers to take control of affected systems, steal sensitive data, or manipulate application behavior. Additionally, denial of service conditions can disrupt services, causing downtime and loss of availability. Since the vulnerability requires no authentication or user interaction, it can be exploited by remote attackers scanning for vulnerable instances, increasing the risk of widespread attacks. This can affect web applications, backend services, and any software components integrating this library, potentially compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Organizations may face operational disruptions, data breaches, and reputational damage if the vulnerability is exploited.

CWE-1321Improperly Controlled Modification of Object Prototype Attributes ('Prototype Pollution') (opens in a new tab)
Variant weakness
The product receives input from an upstream component that specifies attributes that are to be initialized or updated in an object, but it does not properly control modifications of attributes of the object prototype.
Implementation
By freezing the object prototype first (for example, Object.freeze(Object.prototype)), modification of the prototype becomes impossible.
Architecture and Design
By blocking modifications of attributes that resolve to object prototype, such as proto or prototype, this weakness can be mitigated.
Implementation · Input Validation
When handling untrusted objects, validating using a schema can be used.
