@nyariv/sandboxjsnpmDescription
SandboxJS is a JavaScript sandboxing library. Prior to 0.8.29, The return values of functions aren't wrapped. Object.values/Object.entries can be used to get an Array containing the host's Function constructor, by using Array.prototype.at you can obtain the hosts Function constructor, which can be used to execute arbitrary code outside of the sandbox. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.29.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @nyariv/sandboxjs. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update @nyariv/sandboxjs to 0.8.29 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-25520 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-25520 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2026-25520. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
