How exploitable is this vulnerability in real applications?

It is highly exploitable in any deployment where untrusted code runs inside SandboxJS and the host or sandbox internals rely on `Map.prototype.has` or related behavior. In such setups, an attacker can reliably escape the sandbox and execute arbitrary code with host privileges.

What level of access does an attacker need?

The attacker must be able to supply or influence the JavaScript executed inside SandboxJS—such as user-provided scripts, configuration-driven logic, or multi-tenant code execution features. No additional host-level permissions are required beyond sandbox code execution rights.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The safest pattern is to ensure that untrusted code cannot mutate any prototypes or global objects used by the host. In practice, that means not exposing raw built-in prototypes to the sandbox, freezing or wrapping exposed objects, and designing sandbox APIs that provide minimal, hardened interfaces instead of direct access to the host runtime.
