EPSS 2.1%CWE-400
In short

A flaw in cached-path-relative library allows attackers to inject malicious properties into JavaScript's core Object prototype, causing the application to crash or behave unpredictably.

Technical detail

Summary generated and translated by AI from the official description.
A prototype pollution attack in cached-path-relative versions <=1.0.1 allows an attacker to inject properties on Object.prototype which are then inherited by all the JS objects through the prototype chain causing a DoS attack.
