CVE-2020-7766: Injection Vulnerability

November 10, 2020 (updated July 21, 2021)

This affects all versions of package json-ptr. The issue occurs in the set operation https://flitbit.github.io/json-ptr/classes/_src_pointer_.jsonpointer.html#set when the force flag is set to true. The function recursively sets the property in the target object, however it does not properly check the key being set, leading to a prototype pollution.
