Prototype Pollution in dot-access Affected by Vendor-related Risks

CVE-2026-107701

What is CVE-2026-107701?

The dot-access library, specifically version 1.0.0, is vulnerable to prototype pollution, which allows attackers to manipulate the Object.prototype. By providing a carefully crafted dotted path during the set() operation, an attacker can exploit this flaw to inject properties into all JavaScript objects. This may lead to unauthorized modifications of critical application settings, disruption of operational processes, and the potential for a denial-of-service scenario. It is crucial for developers using dot-access to implement safeguards against such vulnerabilities to maintain application integrity and security.
