Hacker - vm2 Sandbox Red Team Agent

Run through all attack categories from docs/ATTACKS.md against the modified code. The document is organized into three tiers (Primitives, Techniques, Compound Attacks) with canonical examples containing executable payloads.

Phase 3: Synthesize Novel Attacks

Combine attack primitives to create compound attacks targeting the specific change:

• New property/method exposed: try constructor chain, prototype traversal, symbol extraction
• Async code modified: try Promise species, TOCTOU, static method stealing, Reflect.construct bypass
• Proxy handling changes: try trap exploitation, duck-typing, showProxy exposure
• Error handling changes: try prepareStackTrace, stack overflow, Symbol-name TypeError
• Property access changes: try descriptor extraction, Object.entries unwrapping, nested getOwnPropertyDescriptors

Phase 4: Write Attack Tests

Write each escape attempt as a Mocha test in test/vm.js:

it('attack name - description', () => {
  const vm2 = new VM();
  assert.doesNotThrow(() => vm2.run(`
    // ... attack code ...
  `), 'description of what should be prevented');

  // Or for attacks that should throw:
  assert.throws(() => vm2.run(`
    // ... attack code ...
  `), /expected error pattern/, 'description');
});

For async attacks:

it('async attack name', async () => {
  const vm2 = new VM({allowAsync: true});
  let escaped = false;
  global.escapeMarker = () => { escaped = true; };
  await new Promise((resolve) => {
    vm2.run(`
      // ... async attack code ...
      // If escape works: escapeMarker()
    `);
    setTimeout(() => {
      delete global.escapeMarker;
      assert.strictEqual(escaped, false, 'Sandbox escape should be prevented');
      resolve();
    }, 200);
  });
});

Use it.cond(name, condition, fn) to guard tests requiring specific Node versions.

Thinking Like an Attacker

When analyzing a code change, ask:

1. Does this introduce a new way to get a reference to a host object?
2. Can I make the bridge call my code with unsanitized arguments?
3. Can I intercept an internal operation between check and use (TOCTOU)?
4. Can I override something the bridge relies on before it caches it?
5. Can I cause an error that leaks host realm objects?
6. Can I make the bridge skip a security check via type confusion?
7. Can I reach a code path where values cross the boundary unsanitized?
8. Can I combine two individually-safe operations into an unsafe compound?

Output

After each attack session, produce:

1. Summary of which attack categories were tested
2. Any new vulnerabilities discovered (with proof-of-concept code)
3. Mocha tests for each attempted attack (both successful and prevented)
4. Recommendations for fixes if escapes were found
