Description
Versions of the package ts-deepmerge before 8.0.0 are vulnerable to Uncaught Exception due to the improper handling of built-in Object.prototype methods (such as toString, valueOf). When user-controlled input contains these keys with non-function values, the resulting merged object becomes broken — any string context operation throws a TypeError, crashing the application.

Impact

Versions of the ts-deepmerge library before 8.0.0 are vulnerable to an uncaught exception caused by improper handling of built‑in Object.prototype methods such as toString and valueOf. When user‑controlled input contains these keys with non‑function values, the resulting merged object becomes broken, and any subsequent string context operation throws a TypeError, crashing the application. This leads to a denial of service scenario that can disrupt availability and stability of the host application.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the ts-deepmerge JavaScript/TypeScript library in all releases prior to version 8.0.0. Applications that use ts-deepmerge to merge objects and accept unsanitized user input are at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates moderate severity. EPSS is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Based on the description, it is inferred that the attack vector relies on user‑controlled input supplied to ts-deepmerge; an attacker could provide malicious payloads containing disallowed properties to trigger the exception. While no known widespread exploitation has been reported, the possibility of denial of service remains, and the lack of a KEV listing suggests limited public exploitation at present.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade ts-deepmerge to version 8.0.0 or later to obtain the fixed implementation.
  • Sanitize or filter any user input before passing it to ts-deepmerge, removing or rejecting keys such as toString, valueOf, and other Object.prototype properties that are not functions.
  • Surround the deepmerge call with try‑catch error handling to catch TypeError exceptions and prevent application crashes, thereby ensuring graceful degradation.
