CVE-2026-49143
Last modified
CVE-2026-49143 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. 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.. EPSS estimates a 0.39% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
