CVE-2024-34347

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions @hoppscotch/cli versions prior to 0.8.0

Description The @hoppscotch/cli is a CLI to run Hoppscotch Test Scripts in CI environments. Prior to version 0.8.0, the @hoppscotch/js-sandbox package provides a Javascript sandbox that uses the Node.js vm module. However, the vm module is not safe for sandboxing untrusted Javascript code, as code inside the vm context can break out if it can get a hold of any reference to an object created outside of the vm. In the case of @hoppscotch/js-sandbox, multiple references to external objects are passed into the vm context to allow pre-request scripts interactions with environment variables and more. But this also allows the pre-request script to escape the sandbox.

Recommendations For versions prior to 0.8.0, update to version 0.8.0 or later to fix the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the @hoppscotch/js-sandbox package until a patch is applied. Avoid passing references to external objects into the vm context to minimize the risk of exploitation.
