GHSA-7rx3-28cr-v5wh: Handlebars.js has a Prototype Method Access Control Gap via Missing __lookupSetter__ Blocklist Entry
The prototype method blocklist in lib/handlebars/internal/proto-access.js blocks constructor, __defineGetter__, __defineSetter__, and __lookupGetter__, but omits the symmetric __lookupSetter__. This omission is only exploitable when the non-default runtime option allowProtoMethodsByDefault: true is explicitly set — in that configuration __lookupSetter__ becomes accessible while its counterparts remain blocked, creating an inconsistent security boundary.
4.6.0 is the version that introduced protoAccessControl and the allowProtoMethodsByDefault runtime option.
