CVE-2026-61534: yayson: Prototype pollution in Store/LegacyStore deserialization

September 11, 2026

Store/LegacyStore key internal lookup tables by the type, id, and relationship names from a JSON:API document. Because these were plain objects, a document with type: "__proto__" writes onto Object.prototype, polluting every object in the process.
