CVE-2025-8083
Description
A prototype pollution flaw has been discovered in the vuetify javascript library. The Preset configuration feature of Vuetify is vulnerable to Prototype Pollution due to the internal 'mergeDeep' utility function used to merge options with defaults. Using a specially-crafted, malicious preset can result in polluting all JavaScript objects with arbitrary properties, which can further negatively affect all aspects of the application's behavior.

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Confidentiality,Integrity,Availability
Technical Impact: Read Application Data; Modify Application Data
This weakness is usually exploited by using a special attribute of objects called proto, constructor, or prototype. Such attributes give access to the object prototype. An attacker can inject attributes that are used in other components by adding or modifying attributes of an object prototype. This creates attributes that exist on every object, or replace critical attributes with malicious ones. This can be problematic if the product depends on existence or non-existence of certain attributes, or uses pre-defined attributes of the object prototype (such as hasOwnProperty, toString, or valueOf).
Availability
Technical Impact: DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart
An attacker can override existing attributes with ones that have incompatible type, which may lead to a crash.
