  5. 4. Dasty : Revealing Real-World Prototype Pollution Consequences with Dynamic Taint Analysis

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Paul Moosbrugger; [2023]
    Keywords : Prototype Pollution Gadgets; Dynamic Taint Analysis; Forced Branch Execution; NodeProf Instrumentation; Truffle GraalJS;

    Abstract : Prototype pollution is a vulnerability in JavaScript and other prototype-based languages that allows malicious actors to inject a property into an object’s prototype. The injected property can subsequently trigger gadgets - source code sections that use the properties in sensitive locations. READ MORE

  6. 5. Detection of Prototype Pollution Using Joern : Joern’s Detection Capability Compared to CodeQL’s
