Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.14%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

This affects the package @aws-sdk/shared-ini-file-loader before 1.0.0-rc.9; the package aws-sdk before 2.814.0. If an attacker submits a malicious INI file to an application that parses it with loadSharedConfigFiles , they will pollute the prototype on the application. This can be exploited further depending on the context.
