How to Fix CVE-2026-12644

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

ts-deepmerge fixed: 8.0.0 
npm install ts-deepmerge@8.0.0
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 ts-deepmerge

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2026-12644, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls ts-deepmerge

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of ts-deepmerge in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 8.0.0), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls ts-deepmerge 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-248: Uncaught Exception, where an exception is thrown from a function, but it is not caught. In ts-deepmerge, 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

Versions of the package ts-deepmerge before 8.0.0 are vulnerable to Uncaught Exception due to the improper handling of built-in Object.prototype methods (such as toString, valueOf). When user-controlled input contains these keys with non-function values, the resulting merged object becomes broken — any string context operation throws a TypeError, crashing the application.
