CVE-2026-22003 is a difficult-to-exploit vulnerability in the HotSpot component of Oracle Java SE 8u481 and 8u481-b50 and Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition 21.3.17. It affects Java client deployments that execute untrusted code in sandboxed Java Web Start applications or Java applets and depend on the Java sandbox for isolation. A low-privileged local attacker can exploit the flaw only with interaction from another person, potentially compromising the affected Java or GraalVM deployment.

This repository is a small proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2026-22003, a Redis Lua sandbox escape using `debug.sethook`. The repo contains two code files: a Lua payload (`redis_sandbox.lua`) and a Python trigger (`trigger_redis_sandbox_escape.py`), plus a README and license. The Python script connects to a Redis server using the default `redis.Redis()` client settings, reads the Lua file from disk, and submits it with `r.eval(script, 0)`. The Lua script installs a debug hook with `debug.sethook`, then relies on that hook executing in a privileged context to call `os.execute("id > /tmp/redis_escape")`. The main capability is remote code execution on the Redis host when an attacker can run Lua scripts against a vulnerable Redis instance. There is no interactive shell or customizable payload framework; instead, it provides a hardcoded command execution demonstration by creating `/tmp/redis_escape`. The exploit is operational but minimal, intended to demonstrate sandbox escape and host command execution rather than provide post-exploitation tooling.
