Prototype Pollution in chartkick

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published Dec 2, 2019 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Jan 26, 2023

Package

bundler chartkick (RubyGems)

Affected versions

< 3.3.0

Patched versions

3.3.0
npm chartkick (npm)
>= 3.1.0, <= 3.1.3
3.2.0

Description

Affected versions of @polymer/polymer are vulnerable to prototype pollution. The package fails to prevent modification of object prototypes through chart options containing a payload such as {"__proto__": {"polluted": true}}. It is possible to achieve the same results if a chart loads data from a malicious server.

Recommendation

Upgrade to version 3.2.0 or later.

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.
