Prompty: Server-Side Template Injection to Remote Code Execution in the @prompty/core Nunjucks Renderer

Summary

The TypeScript Nunjucks renderer evaluated untrusted .prompty template bodies with unrestricted JavaScript member access. An attacker-controlled template could traverse constructor and prototype properties to execute JavaScript in the host Node.js process.

Affected packages

• npm @prompty/core versions <= 0.1.4
• npm @prompty/core versions <= 2.0.0-beta.4

Impact

Applications that render untrusted, community-supplied, cloned, or LLM-generated .prompty files with the TypeScript runtime could allow attacker-controlled code execution with the privileges of the Node.js host process.

Remediation

Upgrade to @prompty/core 2.0.0-beta.5 or later. The patched renderer sanitizes render inputs to own-data-only values, rejects constructor/prototype member traversal, and disallows template function calls. Ordinary interpolation, conditionals, loops, and own nested data properties remain supported.

Fix details

The fix is merged in PR #404 and includes regression coverage for default Nunjucks rendering, explicit renderer usage, unsafe member lookups, and attempted template function calls.
