About this tag
CVE-2022-24999 is a prototype pollution vulnerability that affects both the qs library for Node.js and ABB RMC-100 industrial controllers. In Node.js applications, the flaw allows attackers to craft query strings that modify an object's prototype, potentially causing denial-of-service conditions. The fix was released in qs version 6.10.3 and backported to maintenance branches, with Express 4.17.3 including the patched dependency. In industrial contexts, CVE-2022-24999 impacts ABB's RMC-100 automation controllers, carrying a CVSS v4 score of 8.7. This places manufacturing operations at risk by enabling prototype pollution attacks that could disrupt critical infrastructure. Discussions on WindowsForum cover both the technical details of the vulnerability and mitigation strategies for affected systems.
