The package y18n before 3.2.2, 4.0.1 and 5.0.5, is vulnerable to Prototype Pollution.
CVE-2020-7774
Score elevated to 8.5 because EPSS predicts 69% probability of exploitation within the next 30 days (top 0.7% of all CVEs). NVD baseline CVSS 7.3 retained for reference. Confidence: see factors.
- High exploitation likelihood — EPSS 69%
