Affected packages
• npm jodit: < 4.12.18 → fixed in 4.12.18
Description
Summary
`Jodit.configure(options)` — and the internal `ConfigMerge` / `ConfigProto` helpers — merged user-supplied options into the editor configuration without filtering prototype-mutating keys. A payload nested under an existing plain-object option such as `controls` could reach and mutate `Object.prototype` (prototype pollution).
Affected
• Package: `jodit` (npm)
• Versions: `< 4.12.18`
• Public API: `Jodit.configure(options)`
Proof of Concept
```js
import { Jodit } from 'jodit';
delete Object.prototype.polluted;
Jodit.configure(JSON.parse('{"controls":{"__proto__":{"polluted":"yes"}}}'));
console.log(({}).polluted); // "yes" (before the fix)
delete Object.prototype.polluted;
```
Impact
Applications that pass user-controlled or partially user-controlled configuration into `Jodit.configure()` could be vulnerable to prototype pollution: unexpected property injection, logic bypass, denial of service, or secondary security issues.
Patch
Fixed in 4.12.18 by rejecting `__proto__`, `constructor`, and `prototype` at every merge level in `ConfigMerge` and `ConfigProto`.
