(CVE-2025-13465) It was discovered that Lodash was vulnerable to a prototype pollution issue in the unset and omit functions. An attacker could possibly use this issue to delete properties from built-in prototypes, resulting in security restrictions being bypassed. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Ubuntu 25.10, and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-2950) It was discovered that Lodash did not properly validate certain inputs to the template function. An attacker could possibly use this issue to inject malicious code during template processing, resulting in arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2026-4800)
