# Prototype Pollution
Overwrite built in properties, like constructor, toString of an object.
Overwrite built in properties, like constructor, toString of an inherited
prototype object.
Any other instance inherits properties from `Object.__proto__`. toString() is
inherited by all objects.
`__proto__` is a reference to a prototype object.
Any other instance inherits properties from `Object.__proto__`, e.g.
`Object.prototype.toString()` is inherited by all objects.
That means if the `toString()` functions is overwritten it is changed in all
other objects as well.
```javascript
{"__proto__": {"toString": "Horton hears a __proto__"}}
```
An entrypoint for prototype pollution may be a merge of objects or a set of
path/properties of an objects
Prototype pollution works best, when there is no input sanitization or validation.
Often, a combination with other exploits is needed, e.g. XSS to get a notable effect.
## Usage
Access to prototype can be gained inside an object, as an example

```
If objects are merged with input sanitization use `"__proto__"` as the key and
set the payload in the value. An example follows, an additional property is
added to an existing object.
```javascript
{"__proto__": {"isAdmin": true}}
```
All object which inherit the prototype get the new property added.

### Kibana CVE 2019
A concrete example is a Kibana prototype pollution from CVE from 2019. Write
