How to Fix GHSA-4mw5-2636-4535

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Js sandbox dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

js-sandbox fixed: Latest secure release 
Upgrade js-sandbox to Latest secure release
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for js-sandbox

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-4mw5-2636-4535, inspect your project dependencies for Js sandbox:

inspect dependencies for js-sandbox

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under General Security Weakness. In Js sandbox, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

Affected versions use deno_core releases that expose `Deno.core.ops.op_panic` to the JS runtime in the base core This function when called triggers a manual panic in the thread containing the runtime, breaking sandboxing It can be fixed by stubbing out the exposed op: ```javascript Deno.core.ops.op_panic = (msg) => { throw new Error(msg) }; ```
