AI-suggested

A patch is available in jodit version 4.12.26 that addresses this vulnerability by rejecting any key paths containing __proto__, constructor, or prototype segments. Users should upgrade to version 4.12.26 or later to remediate this issue. No additional mitigation is required if the upgrade is applied.

Description

A prototype pollution vulnerability exists in the xdan jodit package versions prior to 4.12.26. The vulnerability arises from the Jodit.modules.Helpers.set() function, which improperly allows modification of Object.prototype via specially crafted key paths containing __proto__, constructor, or prototype. This can lead to unexpected property injection and potential security issues. The vulnerability is fixed in version 4.12.26 by rejecting such prototype-mutating keys.
