Affected packages
• npm estree-util-value-to-estree: < 3.3.3 → fixed in 3.3.3
Description
Impact
When generating an ESTree from a value with a property named `__proto__`, `valueToEstree` would generate an object that specifies a prototype instead.
Example:
```js
import { generate } from 'astring'
import { valueToEstree } from 'estree-util-value-to-estree'
const estree = valueToEstree({
['__proto__']: {}
})
const code = generate(estree)
console.log(code)
```
Output:
```js
{
"__proto__": {}
}
```
Patches
This was fixed in version 3.3.3.
Workarounds
If you control the input, don’t specify a property named `__proto__`. If you don’t control the output, strip any properties named `__proto__` before passing it to `valueToEstree`.
