Prototype Pollution

Overview

Impact

Node-RED 1.2.7 and earlier contains a Prototype Pollution vulnerability in the admin API. A badly formed request can modify the prototype of the default JavaScript Object with the potential to affect the default behaviour of the Node-RED runtime.

Workarounds

A workaround is to ensure only authorised users are able to access the editor url.

Recommendation

Upgrade to version 1.2.8 or later
