Attack-Flow Graph

Impact Analysis

Exploiting this vulnerability allows an attacker to escape the sandbox, which is intended to isolate and restrict code execution. This can lead to complete compromise of the system where the sandbox is used, including full control over confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected environment.

To mitigate this vulnerability, upgrade the SandboxJS library to version 0.8.29 or later where the issue is fixed.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in SandboxJS, a JavaScript sandboxing library, in versions prior to 0.8.29. The issue arises because the Map object is included in SAFE_PROTOTYPES, allowing its prototype to be accessed via Map.prototype. An attacker can exploit this by overwriting the Map.prototype.has method, which enables them to escape the sandbox environment.
