Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Tinypool versions before 2.1.1 pass worker options to Node's worker_threads.Worker by reading them through the prototype chain, so a prototype-pollution flaw elsewhere in an application's dependencies can inject options such as execArgv or env. An attacker who can pollute Object.prototype can then make pool workers load attacker-controlled code, gaining code execution with the host process's privileges. Upgrade tinypool to version 2.1.1 or later, which the advisory lists as the fixed version.
