CVE-2026-73083: Activepieces: V8 Isolate Sandbox Bypass via importFresh Module Loading

Published Aug 11, 2026
·
Updated

Activepieces is an open source AI workflow automation platform. Prior to 0.80.0, in SANDBOXCODEONLY mode, the engine loads the compiled user module with importFresh(), a wrapper around Node.js require(), before the V8 isolate is applied. Top-level module code can therefore call require('childprocess'), access fs, and use other Node.js APIs in the host engine process outside the sandbox. An authenticated user who can create a Code step can read environment secrets including APENCRYPTIONKEY and APJWTSECRET, read or write files, and reach internal services. This issue is fixed in version 0.80.0.
