deepmerge through 4.3.1 contains a prototype poisoning vulnerability in the mergeObject() function that fails to properly validate keys being written to target objects. Attackers can supply malicious source objects in merge operations to inject attacker-controlled properties into the returned object's prototype, causing applications to inherit unintended values when accessing properties without own-property checks.
