CVE-2026-27212: Swiper has a Prototype Pollution Vulnerability

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 37/100)

  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.48% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: nolimits4web swiper 12.1.2.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to nolimits4web swiper 12.1.2 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Swiper is a free and mobile touch slider with hardware accelerated transitions and native behavior. Versions 6.5.1 through 12.1.1 have a Prototype pollution vulnerability. The vulnerability resides in line 94 of shared/utils.mjs, where the indexOf() function is used to check whether user provided input contain forbidden strings. Despite a previous fix that attempted to mitigate prototype pollution by checking whether user input contained a forbidden key, it is still possible to pollute Object.prototype via a crafted input using Array.prototype. The exploit works across Windows and Linux and on Node and Bun runtimes. Any application that processes attacker-controlled input using this package may be affected by the following: Authentication Bypass, Denial of Service and RCE. This issue is fixed in version 12.1.2.
