Axios: Prototype-Pollution Gadget in the Default Instance Allows Inherited Object.prototype.method to Override HTTP Method

## Summary Axios default-instance requests that omit an explicit method can read an inherited `method` value from `Object.prototype`. If another vulnerability in the same process pollutes `Object.prototype.method`, calls such as `axios.request({ url })` and `axios({ url })` can send a state-changing HTTP method instead of the expected default `GET`. Axios does not create the prototype pollution source. This is a read-side gadget in axios request dispatch. ## Impact In an affected application with a separate prototype-pollution primitive, an attacker can change axios default-instance requests that omit `method` from `GET` to methods such as `DELETE`, `POST`, `PUT`, or `PATCH`. The practical impact depends on the target endpoint and can include unintended writes, deletion, or other state changes. Method aliases such as `axios.get(url)` and requests with an explicit own `method` are not affected by the confirmed method path. ## Affected Functionality Affected: - Default axios instance calls: `axios.request({ url })`. - Callable shorthand: `axios({ url })`. - Requests where no own `config.method` is provided. Not affected in the confirmed method PoC: - `axios.get(url)` and other method aliases. - `axios.request({ url, method: 'GET' })`. - `axios.create().request({ url })` when the created instance defaults are produced by current `mergeConfig()` and do not inherit from `Object.prototype`. ## Technical Details `lib/core/Axios.js` sets the request method with: ```js config.method =
