CVE-2021-23518 is a critical Prototype Pollution vulnerability (CVSS 9.8) affecting the cached-path-relative package before version 1.1.0, including its Debian distributions. This flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to inject arbitrary properties into an object's prototype, potentially leading to full compromise (confidentiality, integrity, availability) due to a low attack complexity and no user interaction required. Despite its severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this vulnerability.
