# HUNT-NODEJS — Node.js Specific Vulnerabilities
## Crown Jewel Targets
Prototype Pollution reaching a sink in Node.js backend = Critical RCE.
**Highest-value chains:**
- **Prototype Pollution → RCE** — `__proto__` injection via `lodash.merge` / `Object.assign` → polluted prototype reaches `child_process.exec` or `vm.runInNewContext` sink
- **Express trust proxy** — `app.set('trust proxy', true)` without validation → attacker sets `X-Forwarded-For` to bypass IP allowlists or rate limits
- **EJS/Pug SSTI** — template engine receives user input → `{{= process.mainModule.require('child_process').execSync('id') }}`
- **`child_process` injection** — user input interpolated into shell command string → OS command injection
- **`require()` path traversal** — attacker-controlled module path → load arbitrary file as JS
