Summary

Highcharts Dashboards and Highcharts Grid Pro, in the Highcharts DataTable cell-writing code (used for connector write-back and grid editing), are affected. The flaw can let a crafted column name write values into shared JavaScript object defaults on the page, which may alter how other scripts behave or disrupt chart and grid rendering.

Summarized by anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5. Verify details against the original sources.

Read the original description

Highcharts JS is a JavaScript charting library based on SVG. From 1.0.0 until Dashboards 4.2.2, and from 2.0.0 until Grid Pro 3.2.0, Highcharts DataTable single-cell writers use an untrusted column ID as a key without rejecting proto or constructor. DataTable.setCell, including Dashboards connector write-back and Grid Pro editing paths, can therefore write integer-indexed values onto Object.prototype or the Object constructor. In Dashboards releases with column aliases, a literal proto ID is redirected by the alias map, while an alias targeting proto reaches the unsafe write; later releases without aliases accept the unsafe ID directly. Those inherited values affect array and object reads and for-in enumeration throughout the page, which can alter application control flow or disrupt rendering. Exploitation requires control of the table or component column ID and a cell, point, or API write. This issue is fixed in Dashboards 4.2.2 and Grid Pro 3.2.0.
