What to Know

protobufjs compiles protobuf definitions into JavaScript (JS) functions. In versions prior to 8.0.1, 7.5.5, and 6.11.6, attackers can inject arbitrary code in the "type" fields of protobuf definitions, which will then execute during object decoding using that definition. Versions 8.0.1, 7.5.5, and 6.11.6 patch the issue. (NVD)

What to Do

Monitor Red Hat, protobufjs_project, and protobufjs's web pages for any future patch releases. See vendor advisory link below.
