How to Fix GHSA-c3px-v9c7-m734

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Mithril dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

mithril fixed: 1.1.7 
npm install mithril@1.1.7
mithril fixed: 2.0.2 
npm install mithril@2.0.2
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

npm ls mithril

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by GHSA-c3px-v9c7-m734, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls mithril

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Mithril in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.1.7), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls mithril command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-1321: Improperly Controlled Modification of Object Prototype Attributes ('Prototype Pollution'), where the product receives input from an upstream component that specifies attributes that are to be initialized or updated in an object, but it does not properly control modifications of attributes of the object prototype. In Mithril, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

Affected versions of `mithril`are vulnerable to prototype pollution. The function `parseQueryString` may allow a malicious user to modify the prototype of `Object`, causing the addition or modification of an existing property that will exist on all objects. A payload such as `__proto__%5BtoString%5D=123` in the query string would change the `toString()` function to `123`. ## Recommendation If you are using mithril 2.x, upgrade to version 2.0.2 or later. If you are using mithril 1.x, upgrade to version 1.1.7 or later.
