A prototype pollution vulnerability has been found in `object-path` <= 0.11.4 affecting the `set()` method. The vulnerability is limited to the `includeInheritedProps` mode (if version >= 0.11.0 is used), which has to be explicitly enabled by creating a new instance of `object-path` and setting the option `includeInheritedProps: true`, or by using the default `withInheritedProps` instance. The default operating mode is not affected by the vulnerability if version >= 0.11.0 is used. Any usage of `set()` in versions < 0.11.0 is vulnerable. The issue is fixed in object-path version 0.11.5 As a workaround, don't use the `includeInheritedProps: true` options or the `withInheritedProps` instance if using a version >= 0.11.0.

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5967-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the set() method in object-path could be corrupted as a result of prototype     pollution by sending a message to the parent process. An attacker could use this issue to cause object-     path to crash. (CVE-2020-15256, CVE-2021-23434, CVE-2021-3805)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Debian 10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3291 advisory.

    It was discovered that node-object-path, a Node.js module to access deep     object properties using dot-separated paths, was vulnerable to prototype     pollution.

    CVE-2021-3805

        Prototype pollution vulnerability in the `del()`, `empty()`,         `push()` and `insert()` functions when using the inherited props         mode (e.g.  when a new `object-path` instance is created with the         `includeInheritedProps` option set to `true` or when using the         `withInheritedProps` default instance).

    CVE-2021-23434

        A type confusion vulnerability can lead to a bypass of the         CVE-2020-15256 fix when the path components used in the path         parameter are arrays, because the === operator returns always false         when the type of the operands is different.

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     0.11.4-2+deb10u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your node-object-path packages.
