    Debian Bug     : 1126265

    Several vulnerabilities were discovered in node-lodash, a Node.js
    module providing utility functions for common programming tasks.

    CVE-2025-13465

        Prototype pollution in the _.unset and _.omit functions. A
        crafted property path could be used to delete properties from
        built-in prototypes (such as Object.prototype), leading to
        availability and integrity issues.

    CVE-2026-2950

        An incomplete fix for CVE-2025-13465. The initial guard only
        handled string key members and the literal constructor.prototype
        sequence, so it could be bypassed using array-wrapped path
        segments (for example [['constructor'], ['keys']]), via
        constructor static methods, or from primitive roots, again allowing
        deletion of properties on shared built-in prototypes.

    CVE-2026-4800

        Code injection in the _.template function. An incomplete fix for
        CVE-2021-23337: the variable option was validated but the
        imports option key names were not. Untrusted input passed as
        imports key names could inject default-parameter expressions that
        execute arbitrary code at template compilation time via the same
        Function() constructor sink.

    For Debian 12 bookworm, these problems have been fixed in version
    4.17.21+dfsg+~cs8.31.198.20210220-9+deb12u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your node-lodash packages.
