CVE-2026-86536: CWE-1321 Improperly controlled modification of object prototype attributes ('prototype pollution') in Apache Software Foundation Apache Thrift
Improperly controlled modification of object prototype attributes ('prototype pollution') vulnerability in Apache Thrift all JS bindings. This issue affects Apache Thrift: before 0.25.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 0.25.0 and re-generate JS code, which fixes the issue.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-86536) involves improper control over modification of object prototype attributes, known as prototype pollution, in all JavaScript bindings of Apache Thrift versions prior to 0.25.0. Prototype pollution can lead to unexpected behavior in applications by altering the base object prototypes, potentially impacting application logic. The Apache Software Foundation fixed this issue in version 0.25.0, which requires users to upgrade and regenerate their JS code to mitigate the vulnerability.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows attackers to manipulate object prototype attributes in affected Apache Thrift JavaScript bindings, which can lead to altered application behavior. The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.3 indicates a medium severity impact with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and limited integrity impact. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Users should upgrade Apache Thrift to version 0.25.0 or later and regenerate their JavaScript code to apply the fix. This is the official remediation provided by the Apache Software Foundation.
