Description
ExcelJS through 4.4.0 contains a prototype pollution vulnerability that allows attackers to add numeric keys to Object.prototype through a crafted defined name referencing a __proto__ sheet. Attackers can supply an xlsx whose xl/workbook.xml definedName range targets __proto__, causing CellMatrix to write empty arrays onto Object.prototype process-wide when workbook.xlsx.load() runs.
