This affects the package json8 before 1.0.3. The function adds in the target object the property specified in the path, however it does not properly check the key being set, leading to a prototype pollution.
Weakness
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.
