Is It Possible to Sandbox JavaScript Running In the Browser?

Question

I\'m wondering if it\'s possible to sandbox JavaScript running in the browser to prevent access to features that are normally available to JavaScript code running in an HTML

Answer 1

An ugly way but maybe this works for you , I took all the globals and redefined them in the sandbox scope , as well I added the strict mode so they can't get the global object using an anonymous function.

function construct(constructor, args) {
  function F() {
      return constructor.apply(this, args);
  }
  F.prototype = constructor.prototype;
  return new F();
}
// Sanboxer 
function sandboxcode(string, inject) {
  "use strict";
  var globals = [];
  for (var i in window) {
    // <--REMOVE THIS CONDITION
    if (i != "console")
    // REMOVE THIS CONDITION -->
    globals.push(i);
  }
  globals.push('"use strict";\n'+string);
  return construct(Function, globals).apply(inject ? inject : {});
}
sandboxcode('console.log( this, window, top , self, parent, this["jQuery"], (function(){return this;}()));'); 
// => Object {} undefined undefined undefined undefined undefined undefined 
console.log("return of this", sandboxcode('return this;', {window:"sanboxed code"})); 
// => Object {window: "sanboxed code"}
