CVE-2024-39017
CVE-2024-39017: Prototype pollution vulnerability discovered in agreejs v0.0.1. Attackers can exploit the mergeInternalComponents function to inject arbitrary properties, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or a Denial of Service (DoS) condition.
Although CVE-2024-39017 has a CVSS score of 0, indicating minimal base severity, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 30 and it is tagged as "In The Wild," suggesting active exploitation, increasing the threat level despite the low CVSS score. This discrepancy highlights the limitations of relying solely on CVSS for risk assessment. The prototype pollution vulnerability enables adversaries to manipulate object prototypes, resulting in unexpected behavior and potential compromise of the application. While the SVRS does not indicate critical severity, the "In The Wild" tag suggests vigilant monitoring and patching should be prioritized to prevent exploitation.
Description
