CVE detail
CVE-2026-44291
protobufjs compiles protobuf definitions into JavaScript (JS) functions. Prior to 7.5.6 and 8.0.2, protobufjs used plain objects with inherited prototypes for internal type lookup tables used by generated encode and decode functions. If Object.prototype had already been polluted, those lookup tables could resolve attacker-controlled inherited properties as valid protobuf type information. This could cause attacker-controlled strings to be emitted into generated JavaScript code. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.5.6 and 8.0.2.

A widely used JavaScript implementation of Google’s Protocol Buffers format is placing too much trust in untrusted data, exposing affected applications to remote code execution and other attacks. Researchers at Cyera have disclosed six vulnerabilities affecting “protobuf.js,” all stemming from the library’s handling of schema and metadata. Attackers could exploit an input validation oversight to […]
