This vulnerability affects versions >= 10.1.3 < 10.1.5 and >= 11.0.0-next.9 < 11.0.3. An unauthenticated attacker can remotely exploit this by sending a specially crafted multipart/form-data request. The bypass occurs because the underlying lodash.set() utility, used via @poppinss/utils, still creates intermediate objects that regain access to Object.prototype when payloads like user.__proto__.polluted are used. This allows for process-wide Object.prototype pollution, which can have severe consequences for the affected application, including authorization bypasses, unexpected behavior, or even remote code execution via gadget chains.

Attack Chain

  1. An unauthenticated attacker identifies a vulnerable AdonisJS application accepting multipart/form-data requests.
  2. The attacker crafts an HTTP POST request with a multipart/form-data content type.
  3. The request body contains a form field whose name is a prototype pollution payload, structured to bypass the original fix, such as user.__proto__.polluted.
  4. The vulnerable @adonisjs/bodyparser component processes the incoming multipart/form-data request.
  5. During parsing, @adonisjs/bodyparser utilizes lodash.set() (via @poppinss/utils) to construct form fields.
  6. lodash.set() creates intermediate objects using plain {} values, which re-introduce the Object.prototype into the inheritance chain once a "normal" segment (e.g., user) is processed before __proto__.
  7. This action successfully pollutes the global Object.prototype within the application's process.
  8. The polluted Object.prototype can then be leveraged by the attacker to trigger authorization bypasses, unexpected application behavior, or remote code execution by exploiting existing prototype pollution gadget chains.

Impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2026-48795 grants an unauthenticated attacker the ability to pollute the Object.prototype across the entire application process. This critical issue means that any route accepting multipart/form-data requests behind BodyParserMiddleware is vulnerable. The direct consequences can include authorization bypasses, allowing attackers to gain unauthorized access or elevate privileges within the application. Furthermore, the pollution can cause unpredictable behavior in various downstream libraries or enable exploitation of prototype pollution gadget chains, potentially leading to full remote code execution on the server hosting the AdonisJS application.

Recommendation

  • Patch CVE-2026-48795 immediately by upgrading @adonisjs/bodyparser to version 10.1.5 or 11.0.3 or later.
  • Review application logs for multipart/form-data POST requests containing __proto__ or constructor.prototype in form field names, indicative of attempted exploitation.
