Vulnerability in quasar (CVE-2026-73647)
Summary
Vulnerability in quasar (CVE-2026-73647). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via __proto__. Mitigation: upgrade to 2.22.0 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
quasar@2.20.1, the latest published version at the time of testing, appears to be vulnerable to prototype pollution through the public extend() utility exported from the package root.
When extend(true, target, source) is used for a deep merge, attacker-controlled object keys are recursively copied into the target object without blocking prototype-pollution primitives such as __proto__, constructor, or prototype.
This can allow attacker-controlled properties to be written to Object.prototype.
Details
Affected source:
src/utils/extend/extend.js
Distributed files include:
dist/quasar.server.prod.js
dist/quasar.server.prod.cjs
dist/quasar.client.js
The package root publicly exports extend. During deep merge, source object keys are recursively assigned into the target object. If the source object contains an own __proto__ property, the merge can descend into the prototype object and assign attacker-controlled properties onto Object.prototype.

CVE-2026-73647 (quasar) — CWE-1321 / CVSS v3 5.6
Attack vector: remote (network-reachable) / unauthenticated / no user interaction
Attack surface: __proto__ / constructor / prototype / Object.prototype
Patched: 2.22.0 — apply immediately
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
A vulnerability (CWE-1321) exists in quasar. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via __proto__ without authentication.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of quasar. Attack surface: __proto__ / constructor / prototype / Object.prototype.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 5.6/10). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Update to 2.22.0.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Run grep -r 'quasar' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.
