Description

When a single cell value is written to a data table, the column id is used as a key on the table’s column collection without filtering, so a column id of __proto__ resolves to Object.prototype, is taken for an existing column, and the write lands at the row index on Object.prototype; a column id of constructor writes onto the Object constructor in the same way.

Recommendation

Update the @highcharts/dashboards package to the latest compatible version. Followings are version details:

  • Affected version(s): >= 1.0.0, <= 4.2.1
  • Patched version(s): 4.2.2
