Background
The bodymen package is an npm package that provides a middleware for parsing and validating request bodies in Node.js applications. It is commonly used to handle HTTP requests and extract data from the request body. The package allows developers to define schemas for request bodies and automatically validates and parses incoming data based on these schemas. However, versions 0.0.0 of bodymen are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution.
Vulnerability Detail
Prototype Pollution is a vulnerability that occurs when an attacker can modify the prototype of an object and introduce malicious properties or modify existing ones. In the case of bodymen, the vulnerability stems from an incomplete fix to a previous vulnerability (CVE-2019-10792). The handler function in bodymen can be tricked into adding or modifying properties of Object.prototype using a proto payload. This can lead to various security issues, such as remote code execution, denial of service, or data manipulation.
