CVE-2026-25047

8.8 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

CVE-2026-25047 is a prototype pollution vulnerability in the deephas npm package version 1.0.7 that allows attackers to modify JavaScript object prototypes, potentially altering application behavior globally. This affects any Node.js application using the vulnerable deephas package version. The vulnerability enables attackers to inject malicious properties into objects that could lead to denial of service, data corruption, or remote code execution.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • deephas npm package
Versions: Version 1.0.7 only
Operating Systems: All operating systems running Node.js
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Any Node.js application using deephas 1.0.7 is vulnerable regardless of configuration.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Remote code execution leading to complete system compromise, data theft, or service disruption.

🟠

Likely Case

Application instability, denial of service, or data manipulation through prototype pollution.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper input validation and sandboxing, potentially causing only minor application errors.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Web applications using this package could be exploited remotely through user input.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal applications could be exploited by authenticated users or through other attack vectors.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

The GitHub advisory includes technical details that could be used to create exploits. Prototype pollution vulnerabilities are well-understood and frequently weaponized.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: 1.0.8

Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/sharpred/deepHas/security/advisories/GHSA-2733-6c58-pf27

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Update package.json to specify deephas version 1.0.8 or higher. 2. Run 'npm update deephas' or 'npm install deephas@1.0.8'. 3. Restart the Node.js application to load the patched version.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Input validation and sanitization

all

Implement strict input validation to prevent malicious object property injection.

Object.freeze on prototypes

all

Freeze Object.prototype to prevent prototype pollution attacks.

Object.freeze(Object.prototype);

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict input validation and sanitization for all user-controlled data passed to deephas functions.
  • Use security monitoring to detect anomalous behavior and implement network segmentation to limit potential impact.

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check package.json or run 'npm list deephas' to see if version 1.0.7 is installed.

Check Version:

npm list deephas | grep deephas

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify deephas version is 1.0.8 or higher using 'npm list deephas' and test application functionality.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual application crashes
  • Unexpected property modifications in objects
  • Errors related to prototype chain

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual outbound connections from Node.js processes
  • Anomalous payloads containing __proto__ or constructor properties

SIEM Query:

process.name:node AND (event.action:crash OR log.message:"*prototype*" OR log.message:"*__proto__*")
