Published: April 14, 2026· Updated: Apr 17, 2026
Official Description
Sandbox Escape Vulnerability in Terrarium allows arbitrary code execution with root privileges on a host process via JavaScript prototype chain traversal.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-5752 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.3.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
