node-csv: Prototype replacement still reachable via columns path
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
With columns: true and group_columns_by_name: true, a duplicated __proto__ header causes the duplicate-column branch to assign an array to obj['__proto__'], invoking the __proto__ setter and replacing the parsed record object's prototype with attacker-controlled data. Fixed in 7.0.2 (Object.hasOwn duplicate check + Object.defineProperty assignment).
### Patches
The problem been patched.
### Workarounds
Disable usage of both the columns and group_columns_by_name options.
