"Prototype Pollution" vulnerabilities got a lot of attention in 2020. Many vulnerabilities were discovered in famous or less famous NPM packages.
"Prototype Pollution" is now the #2 most common vulnerability type found in NPM packages (18%), even though this statistic is a little bit distorted due to imprecise classifications (source: internal private studies).
We can't ignore this fact and we need to find a way to fix the problem by helping developers of libraries and applications to detect "Prototype Pollution" vulnerabilities before they are published.
