Sandbox escape in SandboxJS via Map.prototype.has overwrite

IdentifiersCVE-2026-25587CWE-693

In SandboxJS (the @nyariv/sandboxjs JavaScript sandboxing library) prior to version 0.8.29, the built-in Map object is included in the library’s SAFE_PROTOTYPES set, and its prototype can be obtained from within the sandbox via Map.prototype. An attacker can then overwrite Map.prototype.has, which is used by the sandbox’s internal logic, allowing manipulation of security checks and resulting in a sandbox escape. The issue is fixed in SandboxJS 0.8.29.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation allows an attacker executing untrusted JavaScript inside SandboxJS to escape the sandbox and execute arbitrary code in the host environment (i.e., outside the intended isolation boundary), potentially leading to full remote code execution depending on how the host integrates SandboxJS (e.g., access to Function constructor and Node.js primitives such as child_process).

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

If immediate upgrade is not possible, reduce or eliminate execution of attacker-controlled/untrusted code paths through SandboxJS. Add hardening controls to prevent access to Map.prototype and prevent mutation of Map.prototype.has (e.g., freezing Map/Map.prototype within the sandbox context), and restrict access to dynamic code generation primitives such as the Function constructor where feasible.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade @nyariv/sandboxjs to version 0.8.29 or later, which includes the fix for CVE-2026-25587.
