CVE-2026-116811: OpenPanel sandbox escape in JavaScript template validator

CVE-2026-116811 · Severity: high · CVSS 8.8 · Published 2026-10-27

OpenPanel is a web analytics platform that allows project members to attach JavaScript templates to webhook integrations for data processing. A flaw in the template validator allows attackers with write access to bypass security checks and execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the worker process, which has access to databases, credentials, and third-party integrations. An exploit requires only template write access and can fully compromise the worker process.

Technical details

The JavaScript AST validator in packages/js-runtime/src/validate.ts blocks dangerous operations like calling the Function constructor, but the restrictions are not consistently enforced across all code paths. An attacker can read the forbidden property payload.constructor.constructor into a local variable, which defeats the member-expression-only checks, then call the local to obtain the Function constructor and execute arbitrary code. The vulnerability exists in the js-runtime validator component and affects all webhook JavaScript templates; execution happens in the worker process via new Function().
