    Sandbox Breakout

    realms-shim is a shim implementation of the Realm API Proposal.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Sandbox Breakout. The realms-shim is intended to provide a "safe evaluator" which executes arbitrary strings code with limited authority. This provides a "sandbox" which only has access to the specific objects and power that the caller chooses to expose. The evaluate() function it implements takes two additional arguments: endowments (which are exposed in the global lexical scope), and an options bag. The transforms option is a list of functions that are applied to the string of code, to apply Babel-like transformations before it gets executed (e.g. to implement syntax extensions).

    A bug was found in the transformation pipeline that exposed a primal-Realm object to one of the transform functions. The confined code could use this to escape the sandbox and compromise the Realm which created it. This generally leads to a full compromise of the application.

    How to fix Sandbox Breakout?

    Upgrade realms-shim to version 1.2.1 or higher.
