Moderate
brianr published GHSA-xcg2-9pp4-j82x Oct 23, 2025

Package

npm rollbar (npm)

Affected versions

<=2.26.4, >=3.0.0-alpha1&&<=3.0.0-beta4

Patched versions

2.26.5, 3.0.0-beta5

Description

Impact

Prototype pollution vulnerability in merge(). If application code calls rollbar.configure() with untrusted input, prototype pollution is possible.

Patches

Fixed in 2.26.5 and 3.0.0-beta5.

Workarounds

Ensure that values passed to rollbar.configure() do not contain untrusted input.

References

Fixed in #1394 (2.26.x) and #1390 (3.x)

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.

Weaknesses

Improperly Controlled Modification of Object Prototype Attributes ('Prototype Pollution')

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. Learn more on MITRE.
