Redoc Prototype Pollution via `Module.mergeObjects` Component
Exploitation Status
Proof-of-concept exploit code exists
- CISA’s SSVC triage found public proof-of-concept exploit code for this CVE, though no confirmed active exploitation.
- CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.

Real-World Exposure
How broadly this vulnerability is actually deployed: weekly install volume shows current usage, and reverse-dependency count shows how many other packages break if it stays unpatched.
redocnpmDescription
A prototype pollution in the component Module.mergeObjects (redoc/bundles/redoc.lib.js:2) of redoc <= 2.2.0 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via supplying a crafted payload.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for redoc, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update redoc to 2.4.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2024-57083 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Cap what an attacker can consume: apply request size, rate and timeout limits in front of the affected component, and run it with memory and CPU limits so exhaustion degrades one worker rather than the whole service.
Fixing This On Your OS
If you run this on a Linux distribution, patch through your package manager against the distro's own security advisory below — it tracks the exact backported fix for your release, which can ship on a different timeline (and sometimes a different severity) than the upstream project.
This vulnerability is rated as an Important severity because it allows attackers to exploit a prototype pollution issue in the Module.mergeObjects method by crafting a malicious payload. An attacker can alter the built-in Object.prototype, causing a Denial of Service (DoS) condition, leading to system instability,…
