Checking if a JavaScript native function is monkey patched

• cabirum 4y ago
  Are there legit cases where monkey patching native funcs is justified? Many scanners report this as vulnerability, so I would expect browsers and standards bodies to eventually prohibit messing with native apis.

    Off the top of my head: - Overriding the fetch/XHR API for error monitoring (there's no other way to listen for them unless you use Service Workers) - Polyfilling features on top of existing APIs But you might not see them as "justified".
