Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Tinypool versions before 2.1.2 are affected. When a caller passes an options object to pool.run(), the filename option is read through the prototype chain, so an attacker who can pollute Object.prototype with a filename property can make tinypool load and run an attacker-controlled worker module. Exploitation requires that prototype pollution exists elsewhere in the application and that the application passes an options object to run(); the attacker can then redirect task data to a malicious worker. Upgrade to tinypool 2.1.2 or later, which contains the fix.
