Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
In certain configurations, data sent by remote servers containing special strings in key locations could cause modifications of the `Object.prototype`, disrupting matrix-react-sdk functionality, causing denial of service and potentially affecting program logic.
(This is part 2, where [CVE-2022-36060](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2022-36060) / [GHSA-2x9c-qwgf-94xr](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk/security/advisories/GHSA-2x9c-qwgf-94xr) is part 1.
