What is CVE-2024-38998?

The RequireJS library by JRBurke, specifically version 2.3.6, has been found to be vulnerable to a prototype pollution issue through its config function. This flaw can be exploited by attackers to inject arbitrary properties into the application's prototype structure. Such exploitation may allow malicious users to execute arbitrary code or trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) condition, severely impacting the application's availability and security. Developers utilizing this version of RequireJS should prioritize mitigation strategies to protect against potential exploitation.
