GHSA-jxh8-jh77-xh6g: @evomap/evolver's validator sandbox allowlist permits `npm`/`npx`, yielding RCE from Hub-delivered validation tasks via lifecycle scripts

May 5, 2026

The validator-mode sandbox executor (src/gep/validator/sandboxExecutor.js) places npm and npx in its hard executable allowlist. Because npm install <pkg> and npx -y -p <pkg> <bin> execute arbitrary code by design (preinstall/install/postinstall lifecycle scripts and remote-package bin entries), and because validator nodes consume validation_commands strings from unsigned Hub responses with no per-response signature check, an attacker who controls or MITMs the Hub achieves automatic remote code execution on every validator node within one daemon poll (default 60s).
