As a Node.js developer and security researcher, I recently stumbled upon an interesting security regression in the Node.js core project related to prototype pollution.
This happened to be found while I was conducting an independent security research for my Node.js Secure Coding books and yet the discovery highlights the complex nature of security in open-source projects and the challenges of maintaining consistent security measures across a large codebase. Even at the scale of a project like Node.js, regressions can occur, potentially leaving parts of the codebase vulnerable to attack.
