Summary
devalue unevaled code can create objects with polluted prototypes when evaled
Under certain circumstances, unevaling untrusted data can produce output code that will create objects with polluted prototypes when later evaled, meaning the output data can be a different shape from the input data.

Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is GHSA-8QM3-746X-R74R? GHSA-8QM3-746X-R74R is a low-severity security vulnerability in devalue (npm), affecting versions <= 5.6.2. It is fixed in 5.6.3.
- Which versions of devalue are affected by GHSA-8QM3-746X-R74R? devalue (npm) versions <= 5.6.2 is affected.
- Is there a fix for GHSA-8QM3-746X-R74R? Yes. GHSA-8QM3-746X-R74R is fixed in 5.6.3. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is GHSA-8QM3-746X-R74R exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether GHSA-8QM3-746X-R74R is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

- What actually determines whether GHSA-8QM3-746X-R74R is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
