CVE-2026-45302: parse-nested-form-data has Prototype Pollution via `__proto__` in FormData field names

May 18, 2026 (updated June 9, 2026)

parseFormData() walks bracket and dot-notation FormData field names into nested objects without filtering reserved property keys. A single FormData field whose name begins with __proto__, or contains .__proto__. mid-path, causes the parser to traverse onto Object.prototype and assign properties there, polluting the prototype chain of every plain object in the running process.
