Description

object-path is vulnerable to Improperly Controlled Modification of Object Prototype Attributes ('Prototype Pollution'). The del() function fails to validate which Object properties it deletes. This allows attackers to modify the prototype of Object, causing the modification of default properties like toString on all objects.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for object-path. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

  2. Fix

    Update object-path to 0.11.8 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-8v63-cqqc-6r2c is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-8v63-cqqc-6r2c is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Tailored to GHSA-8v63-cqqc-6r2c. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
