A critical security vulnerability was identified in the npm sandbox package (GHSA-gc25-3vc5-2jf9), affecting all versions (>=0.0.0). The vulnerability was discovered and reviewed on August 31, 2020, published to the GitHub Advisory Database on September 4, 2020, and last updated on January 9, 2023. This security issue involves a Sandbox Escape vulnerability that can lead to Remote Code Execution (GitHub Advisory).
The vulnerability stems from the package's failure to properly restrict access to the main context through 'this.constructor.constructor'. As a proof of concept, executing the payload 'this.constructor.constructor('return process.env')()' allows access to process.env contents, demonstrating the breakdown of sandbox isolation (GitHub Advisory).
The vulnerability allows attackers to break out of the sandbox environment and execute arbitrary code in the system, potentially gaining access to sensitive system information and resources (GitHub Advisory).
The vulnerability is present in all versions of the sandbox package and can be exploited through malicious code that leverages the 'this.constructor.constructor' context to break out of the sandbox environment (GitHub Advisory).
No official fix is currently available for this vulnerability. The recommended action is to consider using an alternative package until a security fix is made available (GitHub Advisory).
