BrowserStack Runner 0.9.5 Unauthenticated RCE via /_log HTTP Handler

Published Jun 2, 2026 · Updated Nov 8, 2026 · Assigned by VulnCheck

Description

BrowserStack Runner through 0.9.5 contains a remote code execution vulnerability in the /_log HTTP handler that allows unauthenticated network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code by submitting crafted JSON request bodies to the handler, which passes user-supplied data to vm.runInNewContext() combined with eval(). Attackers can escape the Node.js vm sandbox by leveraging a host-context Function reference through util.format to access the host process via this.constructor.constructor, achieving full remote code execution on the underlying system without any authentication.
