Potential fix for https://github.com/implerhq/impler.io/security/code-scanning/92
To fix the issue, we need to prevent the use of special keys like
__proto__
,constructor
, andprototype
in thepath
array. This can be achieved by validating each key in thepath
array before using it to navigate or modify theobj
object. If any key matches one of these special values, the function should throw an error or ignore the operation.The best way to fix this is to add a validation step for
path
at the beginning of thesetValue
function. This ensures that no special keys are used, preventing prototype pollution.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
