CVE-2025-8083
📋 TL;DR
This CVE describes a prototype pollution vulnerability in Vuetify's preset configuration feature. Attackers can inject malicious properties into JavaScript objects, potentially causing denial of service, unauthorized data access, or complete server compromise in SSR deployments. All applications using Vuetify 2.2.0-beta.2 through 3.0.0-alpha.10 are affected.

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete server compromise in SSR deployments leading to remote code execution, data exfiltration, or persistent backdoor installation.
Likely Case
Application instability, denial of service, or unauthorized access to sensitive data through polluted object prototypes.
If Mitigated
Limited impact if input validation prevents malicious preset injection, though underlying vulnerability remains.
🎯 Exploit Status
Public proof-of-concept demonstrates exploitation. Attack requires ability to inject malicious preset configuration.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: N/A
Vendor Advisory: https://v2.vuetifyjs.com/en/about/eol/
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Upgrade to Vuetify 3.x (not vulnerable). 2. Note: Vuetify 2.x is end-of-life with no official patches. 3. Restart all affected applications after migration.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation for Presets
allImplement strict validation and sanitization of all preset configuration inputs before processing.
Disable Preset Feature
allRemove or disable the vulnerable preset configuration feature if not required.
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict input validation and sanitization for all preset configuration data
- Deploy web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block prototype pollution attempts
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check package.json for Vuetify version between 2.2.0-beta.2 and 3.0.0-alpha.10Check Version:
npm list vuetify | grep vuetifyVerify Fix Applied:
Confirm Vuetify version is 3.0.0-alpha.10 or higher, or application no longer uses vulnerable preset feature📡 Detection & Monitoring
