[2025-06-27T23:39:08Z] DLP ALERT: Potential data exfiltration via steganography
File: presentation.pdf
Uploader: Michael Svensson
Details:
Image metadata analysis:
  File: profile_photo.png
  Dimensions: 200x200
  Expected size: ~120KB
  Actual size: 4.2MB
  IDAT chunks: 47 (expected: 2-5 for this resolution)

[2025-01-25T06:49:23Z] SECURITY: Prototype pollution attempt detected
IP: 68.73.213.157
Endpoint: /api/settings
Payload: {{"constructor": {{"prototype": {{"isAdmin": true}}}}}}

Application code:
// Prototype pollution via query string
