Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: safe-eval versions prior to 0.4.0

Description: The issue allows un-sanitized user input to access the entire standard library by accessing object constructors, effectively breaking out of the sandbox. This can be achieved by exploiting the safe-eval module, which is intended to be a safer version of eval.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 0.4.0, update to version 0.4.0 or later. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the safe-eval module until the issue is resolved. Avoid using un-sanitized user input in the safe-eval function to minimize the risk of exploitation.
