CVE-2024-23339

Summary

CVE-2024-23339 is a vulnerability affecting the hoolock suite of utilities, specifically versions 2.0.0 through 2.2.0. These utility functions, named `get`, `set`, and `update`, are responsible for handling object paths. Unfortunately, prior to version 2.2.1, these functions did not prevent users from accessing or modifying object prototypes, posing a potential security risk. With the release of version 2.2.1, the `get`, `set`, and `update` functions now throw a `TypeError` when someone attempts to tamper with inherited properties, mitigating this vulnerability.
