This affects all versions of package json-ptr.
CRITICAL 9.8EPSS 1.90%
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.90%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
This affects all versions of package json-ptr. The issue occurs in the set operation (https://flitbit.github.io/json-ptr/classes/_src_pointer_.jsonpointer.htmlset) when the force flag is set to true. The function recursively set the property in the target object, however it does not properly check the key being set, leading to a prototype pollution.
