Description

Versions of realms-shim prior to 1.2.1 are vulnerable to a Sandbox Breakout. The Realms evaluation function has an option to apply Babel-like transformations to the source code before it reaches the evaluator. One portion of this transform pipeline exposed a primal-Realm object to the rewriting function.

Recommendation

Update the realms-shim package to the latest compatible version. Followings are version details:

  • Affected version(s): < 1.2.1
  • Patched version(s): 1.2.1
