Mermaid Architecture diagrams are vulnerable to prototype pollution

Rendering an untrusted architecture-beta diagram lets the diagram author write an arbitrary property with the value horizontal or vertical onto Object.prototype. A group id of __proto__ is accepted as a valid parent.

Impact

Any code in the same realm that reads a property of that name from an arbitrary object, or enumerates an object with bare for...in, observes the injected value (which can only be the string horizontal or vertical.

This may mean corrupted option/config defaults, bypassed truthiness checks, causing denial of service or logic corruption in the embedding application.

Because the injected value cannot be an object or function, this is not directly exploitable for remote code execution.

PoC

architecture-beta group mermaidPrototypePollutionMarker(cloud)[Marker] service a(server)[A] in __proto__ service b(server)[B] in mermaidPrototypePollutionMarker a:R -- L:b

The vulnerable write was introduced in commit cb0a4703bdf01d47508bde1c08aa9a980d70bc20 and first shipped in mermaid@11.5.0. The lines are unchanged in every release since.

Patches

This has been patched by https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid/commit/99af3fc35ef0a9a9c8c6314521344d67523ddccf, released in Mermaid v11.16.1

Workarounds

There are no known workarounds. Please update to a patched version.

Mermaid is a JavaScript tool that uses Markdown-inspired text to create and modify diagrams and charts. From version 11.5.0 until 11.16.1, Mermaid Architecture Diagrams are vulnerable to prototype pollution when a diagram defines a group with an id of __proto__. Because the group id is used directly as an object property key without validation, an attacker who can supply diagram text can pollute Object.prototype, potentially affecting the behavior of the embedding application. This issue is fixed in version 11.16.1.
