Prototype Pollution in apidoc-core preProcess() (CVE-2025-13158)
CVE-2025-13158 is a prototype pollution vulnerability in apidoc-core versions 0.2.0 and later. The vulnerability exists in the preProcess() function of several worker modules (api_group.js, api_param_title.js, api_use.js, and api_permission.js), where malformed data structures, particularly those containing the 'define' property, are improperly handled. This allows remote attackers to modify JavaScript object prototypes, potentially corrupting the prototype chain and leading to denial of service or unintended application behavior.
