🚨 Severity: HIGH
💡 Vulnerability: Using object literals {} to store user-supplied string keys (like Lua labels) allows prototype pollution if a user uses keys like __proto__.
🎯 Impact: An attacker or script processing untrusted inputs could manipulate or pollute the parser's environment.
🔧 Fix: Used a secure initialization like Object.create ? Object.create(null) : {} for dictionaries to prevent prototype pollution while providing a fallback.
✅ Verification: Code review verified fix and all tests run smoothly without regressions.

Changes:

  • Initializes FullFlowContext label storage with Object.create(null).
  • Adds .jules/sentinel.md guidance about avoiding prototype-backed dictionaries for user-controlled keys.

## 2024-05-24 - Prototype Pollution in Lua Labels
**Vulnerability:** Using object literals `{}` to store user-supplied string keys (like Lua labels) allows prototype pollution if a user uses keys like `__proto__`.
**Learning:** Dictionary objects storing arbitrary user input should not inherit from `Object.prototype`.
**Prevention:** Use a secure initialization like `Object.create ? Object.create(null) : {}` for dictionaries to prevent prototype pollution while providing a fallback.
