Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2024-38988 is a prototype pollution vulnerability in alizeait unflatto versions up to and including 1.0.2. The flaw occurs via the exports.unflatto method located at /dist/index.js, enabling attackers to inject arbitrary properties into object prototypes.

With a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), the vulnerability is exploitable over the network by unauthenticated attackers requiring low complexity and no user interaction. Exploitation allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) condition, as classified under CWE-1321: Improperly Controlled Modification of Object Prototype Attributes.
