local sandbox = require 'sandbox'
-- sandbox can handle both strings and functions
local msg = sandbox(function() return 'this is untrusted code' end)
local msg2 = sandbox("return 'this is also untrusted code'")
`sandbox(f, options)` and `sandbox.protect(f, options)` are synonyms. They return a sandboxed version of `f`.
`options` is not required. So far the only possible options are `env` and `quota` (see below)
sandbox(function()
-- see sandbox.lua for a list of safe and unsafe operations
return ('I can use safe operations, like string.upper'):upper()
local sandboxed_f = sandbox(function() return 'hey' end)
local msg = sandboxed_f() -- msg is now 'hey'
`sandbox.run(f)` sanboxes a function and executes it. f can be either a string or a function
local msg = sandbox.run(function() return 'this is untrusted code' end)
local msg2 = sandbox.run("return 'this is also untrusted code'")
Only safe modules and operations can be accessed from the sandboxed mode. See the source code for a list of safe/unsafe operations.
sandbox.run(function()
return string.upper('string.upper is a safe operation.')
end)
-- Attempting to invoke unsafe operations (such as os.execute) is not possible
sandbox(function()
Attempting to invoke unsafe operations (such as `os.execute`) is not permitted
sandbox.run(function()
os.execute('rm -rf /') -- this will throw an error, no damage don
end)
-- It is not possible to exhaust the machine with infinite loops; the following
-- will throw an error after invoking 500000 instructions:
sandbox('while true do end')
It is not possible to exhaust the machine with infinite loops; the following will throw an error after invoking 500000 instructions:
-- The amount of instructions executed can be tweaked via the quota option
sandbox('while true do end', {quota=10000}) -- throw error after 10000 instructions
sandbox.run('while true do end')
-- It is also possible to use the env option to add additional variables to the environment
sandbox('return foo', {env = {foo = 'This was on the environment'}})
The amount of instructions executed can be tweaked via the `quota` option (default value: 500000 instructions)
-- The variables defined on the env are deep-copied and changes on them will not be persisted
local env = {foo = "can't touch this"}
sandbox('foo = "bar"', {env = env})
assert(env.foo = "can't touch this")
sandbox.run('while true do end', {quota=10000}) -- throw error after 10000 instructions
-- If you want to modify variables from inside the sandbox, use the refs option:
local refs = {foo = "kindof insecure"}
sandbox('foo = "changed"', {refs = refs})
assert(refs.foo = "changed")
It is also possible to use the env option to add additional variables to the environment
sandbox.run('return foo', {env = {foo = 'This was on the environment'}})
If provided, the env variable will be heavily modified by the sanbox (adding base modules like string)
The sandboxed code can also modify the env
local env = {amount = 1}
sandbox.run('amount = amount + 1', {env = env})
assert(env.amount = 2)
Finally, you may pass parameters to the sandboxed function directly in `sandbox.run`. Just add them after the `options` param.
local secret = sandbox.run(function(a,b) return a + b, {}, 1, 2)
assert(secret == 3)
