CVE-2026-104849Tinypool: Prototype Pollution Gadget to RCE in run() options

Does this affect you?

It affects tinylibs tinypool. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

EPSS puts the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days at 0.39%, higher than 31% of scored CVEs.

Tinypool is a minimal Node.js worker thread pool implementation. Prior to 2.1.2, Tinypool reads filename from a caller-supplied options object in pool.run(task, options) without requiring an own property, so a polluted Object.prototype.filename can replace the intended worker module. Applications are affected only when they pass their own second-argument options object to pool.run(); calls without that argument use the trusted default options object. An attacker who can first pollute the prototype can cause the worker pool to load attacker-selected JavaScript and can read or modify task data with the host process's privileges. This issue is fixed in version 2.1.2.
