Nyariv: >> Sandboxjs >> 0.8.30 Security Vulnerabilities
SandboxJS is a JavaScript sandboxing library. Prior to 0.8.36, SandboxJS blocks direct assignment to global objects (for example Math.random = ...), but this protection can be bypassed through an exposed callable constructor path: this.constructor.call(target, attackerObject). Because this.constructor resolves to the internal SandboxGlobal function and Function.prototype.call is allowed, attacker code can write arbitrary properties into host global objects and persist those mutations across sandbox instances in the same process. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.36.

SandboxJS is a JavaScript sandboxing library. Prior to 0.8.36, the @nyariv/sandboxjs parser contains unbounded recursion in the restOfExp function and the lispify/lispifyExpr call chain. An attacker can crash any Node.js process that parses untrusted input by supplying deeply nested expressions (e.g., ~2000 nested parentheses), causing a RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded that terminates the process. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.36.

SandboxJS is a JavaScript sandboxing library. Prior to 0.8.36, a scope modification vulnerability exists in @nyariv/sandboxjs. The vulnerability allows untrusted sandboxed code to leak internal interpreter objects through the new operator, exposing sandbox scope objects in the scope hierarchy to untrusted code; an unexpected and undesired exploit. While this could allow modifying scopes inside the sandbox, code evaluation remains sandboxed and prototypes remain protected throughout the execution. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.36.

SandboxJS is a JavaScript sandboxing library. Prior to 0.8.35, SandboxJS timers have an execution-quota bypass. A global tick state (`currentTicks.current`) is shared between sandboxes. Timer string handlers are compiled at execution time using that global tick state rather than the scheduling sandbox's tick object. In multi-tenant / concurrent sandbox scenarios, another sandbox can overwrite `currentTicks.current` between scheduling and execution, causing the timer callback to run under a different sandbox's tick budget and bypass the original sandbox's execution quota/watchdog. Version 0.8.35 fixes this issue.

SandboxJS is a JavaScript sandboxing library. Prior to 0.8.34, it is possible to obtain arrays containing Function, which allows escaping the sandbox. Given an array containing Function, and Object.fromEntries, it is possible to construct {[p]: Function} where p is any constructible property. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.34.

SandboxJS is a JavaScript sandboxing library. Prior to 0.8.31, a sandbox escape vulnerability allows sandboxed code to mutate host built-in prototypes by laundering the isGlobal protection flag through array literal intermediaries. When a global prototype reference (e.g., Map.prototype, Set.prototype) is placed into an array and retrieved, the isGlobal taint is stripped, permitting direct prototype mutation from within the sandbox. This results in persistent host-side prototype pollution and may enable RCE in applications that use polluted properties in sensitive sinks (example gadget: execSync(obj.cmd)). This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.31.
