CVE-2023-26122 affects all versions of the safe-eval package, which is designed to be a safer version of eval(). The vulnerability was discovered and disclosed on March 26, 2023, and published on April 10, 2023. The vulnerability stems from improper input sanitization that allows for sandbox bypass through prototype pollution exploitation (Snyk, CVE).
The vulnerability exists due to multiple vulnerable functions that can be exploited for sandbox bypass, including defineGetter, stack(), toLocaleString(), propertyIsEnumerable.call(), and valueOf(). The vulnerability allows attackers to escape the sandbox environment through prototype pollution techniques, which can lead to remote code execution capabilities. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (High severity) (Snyk).
The successful exploitation of this vulnerability can result in a complete compromise of the system's confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Attackers can achieve remote code execution (RCE), allowing them to execute arbitrary shell commands on the affected system. This represents a total loss of protection and could lead to full system compromise (Snyk).
Currently, there is no fixed version available for the safe-eval package. Given the severity of the vulnerability and the lack of patches, it is recommended to discontinue the use of this package and seek alternative solutions that provide secure evaluation of expressions (Snyk).
