This affects all versions of package mout. The deepFillIn function can be used to fill missing properties recursively, while the deepMixIn mixes objects into the target object, recursively mixing existing child objects as well. In both cases, the key used to access the target object recursively is not checked, leading to exploiting this vulnerability. Note: This vulnerability derives from an incomplete fix of CVE-2020-7792.

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.
