multiparty: Denial of Service via Prototype Pollution leads to Uncaught Exception
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| npm | multiparty | < 4.3.0 | 4.3.0 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
[email protected] and lower versions are vulnerable to denial of service via uncaught exception. By sending a `multipart/form-data` request with a field name that collides with an inherited `Object.prototype` property (e.g., `__proto__`, `constructor`, `toString`), the parser invokes `.push()` on the inherited prototype value rather than an array, throwing a `TypeError` that propagates as an uncaught exception and crashes the process. Any service accepting multipart uploads via multiparty is affected.
### Patches
Users should upgrade to [email protected] or higher.
### Workarounds
None.
