Arbitrary Code Execution

JSONata is vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. The vulnerability is due to a bypassable hasOwnProperty check that allows crafted expressions to access object prototypes and constructors, which allows an attacker to invoke process.getBuiltinModule with childprocess and execute arbitrary code...

CVE-2026-77414 JSONata: Arbitrary Code Execution via crafted JSONata expressions
