⚙️ Description *
Mitigating potential sandbox breakout by checking user supplied input for statements that might be trying to manipulate system processes.
💻 Technical Description *
After a couple attempts at specifically addressing the
RangeError
mentioned in the disclosure, I ended up going with a simpler solution of checking the user supplied template literal for statements that might be trying to access system processes that they should not be accessing. This solution involvesrunInContext()
logging a warning to the console and returningundefined
if this situation is detected, otherwise it returnsvm.runInContext
the same as before.🐛 Proof of Concept (PoC) *
