CVE-2018-3749 describes a critical vulnerability in the deap node module (versions prior to 1.0.1) where a malicious actor can manipulate the utilities function to modify the Object prototype, affecting all objects. This allows for arbitrary property addition or modification, leading to complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. With a CVSS score of 9.8 (CRITICAL), this vulnerability is easily exploitable over the network with low attack complexity and no user interaction required. While no active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion has been observed, the high FAUCET Risk Score of 78/100 indicates its potential severity.
