CVE-2026-55091: flat-to-nested: Prototype pollution in flat-to-nested convert() via __proto__ parent/id key

June 19, 2026

convert() builds the nested tree by using each flat record’s id and parent field values directly as object keys, with no guard against __proto__ / constructor / prototype. A record whose parent is the string "__proto__" makes temp[parent] resolve to Object.prototype, and the following initPush(...) writes attacker-controlled data onto the global prototype. Any application that passes attacker-influenced records to convert() is affected, and the base prototype methods stay intact so the pollution is stealthy.
