CVE-2026-49143 is an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability affecting BrowserStack Runner through version 0.9.5. The flaw resides in the /_log HTTP handler, which accepts crafted JSON request bodies and passes attacker-controlled data into vm.runInNewContext() in combination with eval(). This unsafe evaluation path allows an attacker to inject JavaScript into the handler’s processing logic. The provided analysis indicates that exploitation targets the arguments array in the JSON body and abuses a host-context Function reference via util.format to escape the intended Node.js vm sandbox. By traversing the constructor chain, for example via this.constructor.constructor("return process")(), an attacker can recover the host Node.js process object and then invoke process.mainModule.require('child_process').execSync() or similar primitives to execute operating system commands on the underlying host.
