2 techniques across 2 tactics: Execution, Initial Access

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Enclave versions prior to 2.11.1 with @enclave-vm/core sandbox enabled. No special conditions — remote unauthenticated exploitation against default Enclave deployments accepting external JavaScript code.

Impact

CVSS 10.0. AI safety critical — if AI agents can escape the sandbox, they can access the host system, exfiltrate data, or cause physical harm depending on the deployment context.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

AI agent generates code that exploits the sandbox escape, gains access to the host system, reads/modifies files, makes network requests, or executes arbitrary commands.

DescriptionGitHub Advisory

Enclave is a secure JavaScript sandbox designed for safe AI agent code execution. Prior to version 2.11.1, it is possible to escape the security boundraries set by @enclave-vm/core, which can be used to achieve remote code execution (RCE). The issue has been fixed in version 2.11.1.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A critical vulnerability in Enclave's JavaScript sandbox allows attackers to bypass security controls and execute arbitrary code remotely with a 10.0 CVSS score. Any organization running Enclave versions prior to 2.11.1 for AI agent execution faces immediate risk of complete system compromise and data breach, particularly if the sandbox processes untrusted code or external inputs.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not possible: disable Enclave sandbox functionality until patched; restrict network access to Enclave instances through firewall rules; implement strict input validation and sanitization for all code passed to the sandbox; run Enclave in isolated container environments with minimal host system access; monitor for exploitation attempts using IDS/IPS.

Attack Technique

Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
