Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

### Impact Passing an empty or partial options object disables the default `protoAction: 'error'` protection. A map containing a `__proto__` key can then replace the prototype of the decoded object, potentially changing inherited properties or causing unexpected behavior in downstream code. Only the decoded object's prototype is affected; this does not modify `Object.prototype` globally. ### Patches Options are now merged with secure defaults without modifying the caller's object. Unsupported `protoAction` values are rejected. ### Workarounds Explicitly set `protoAction: 'error'` whenever constructing a msgpack5 instance, and validate decoded values before use.
