Root Cause Analysis
- All advisories explicitly state vulnerability exists in the main functionality
- The PoC demonstrates prototype pollution through direct use of setDeepProp
- The package's purpose is deep property assignment, which inherently risks prototype pollution if path validation is missing
- No other functions are mentioned in vulnerability reports, and the package appears to be a single-function utility
- The attack pattern matches classic prototype pollution via uncontrolled path parameters in deep assignment functions
