Kobako Vulnerable to Sandbox Escape: guest eval reaches host RCE via method_missing → public_send (any bound Service)

Published Sep 30, 2026 · Updated Sep 30, 2026 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

Kobako is a Ruby gem that embeds a Wasm-isolated mruby interpreter inside applications, allowing execution of untrusted Ruby scripts (LLM-generated code, user formulas, student submissions, third-party plugins) in-process without giving them access to host memory, files, network, or credentials. From version 0.1.0 to before version 0.9.1, a guest mruby script running inside the Kobako sandbox can execute arbitrary Ruby in the host process, fully escaping the sandbox. This issue has been patched in version 0.9.1.
