  "details" : [ "protobufjs compiles protobuf definitions into JavaScript (JS) functions. Prior to 7.5.6 and 8.0.2, protobufjs allowed certain schema option paths to traverse through inherited object properties while applying options. A crafted protobuf schema or JSON descriptor could cause option handling to write to properties on global JavaScript constructors, corrupting process-wide built-in functionality. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.5.6 and 8.0.2.", "A flaw was found in protobufjs. This vulnerability allows an attacker to craft a protobuf schema or JSON descriptor that, when processed, can traverse through inherited object properties. This can lead to writing to global JavaScript constructors, corrupting process-wide built-in functionality. The most significant impact is a denial of service (DoS)." ],
  "statement" : "This is an Important denial of service vulnerability in protobufjs. A remote attacker could provide a specially crafted protobuf schema or JSON descriptor, which, when processed by an application using protobufjs, could corrupt process-wide built-in functionality, leading to a persistent denial of service. This impact is contingent on the application parsing untrusted schemas or descriptors.",
