Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
An issue in OneTrust SDK v.6.33.0 allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service via the Object.setPrototypeOf, __proto__, and Object.assign components. NOTE: this is disputed by the Supplier who does not agree it is a prototype pollution vulnerability.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

The OneTrust SDK version 6.33.0 contains a vulnerability where local attackers can manipulate JavaScript object prototypes using Object.setPrototypeOf, __proto__, and Object.assign to cause denial of service. The supplier disputes whether this constitutes a prototype pollution vulnerability, but the mechanism allows manipulation of object inheritance that can lead to application instability or crash.

MitigationImplement strict input validation and sanitization on all user-controllable data before using it in Object.setPrototypeOf, __proto__, or Object.assign operations. Consider upgrading to a patched version if available from OneTrust.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify OneTrust SDK version
    Search your codebase, dependency files (package.json, yarn.lock, package-lock.json), or bundled files for 'onetrust' or '@onetrust/sdk' and note the installed version number
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 6.33.0
  2. Locate OneTrust SDK integration
    Find the main OneTrust SDK initialization file in your application and confirm it is version 6.33.0 by inspecting the imported module version
    Affected if The SDK file confirms version 6.33.0
  3. Search for Object.setPrototypeOf usage
    Search your application code for calls to Object.setPrototypeOf where the prototype argument could be influenced by user input, query parameters, or API payloads
    Affected if User-controllable data is passed to Object.setPrototypeOf without validation
  4. Search for __proto__ property assignment
    Search your application code for assignments to __proto__ that use data from user requests, URLs, or external sources
    Affected if User input directly assigns to __proto__ properties
  5. Search for Object.assign with untrusted data
    Search your application code for Object.assign calls where the source object contains data derived from user input
    Affected if User-controllable data is passed as an argument to Object.assign

Your environment is affected if OneTrust SDK version 6.33.0 is deployed AND your application passes unvalidated user input into Object.setPrototypeOf, __proto__, or Object.assign operations.
