This entry duplicated another and was withdrawn in its favour.
Superseded by ETK-2026-804.
ETK-2026-765Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
withdrawndescription
Handlebars can incorrectly permit access to the Function constructor through a prototype property lookup. An attacker who can supply a template may execute server-side JavaScript when rendering enables allowProtoMethodsByDefault.
mitigation
Do not enable allowProtoMethodsByDefault when rendering templates or data that an attacker can influence. Restrict template authorship to trusted sources until an upstream fixed release is available.
outcome
Contextual: an exploit technique exists, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
source signals
