Creating a secure Lua sandbox..?

问题

Right now I am doing a lot of.

local env = {
    print = print,
}

setfenv(func, env) and then using metamethods to lock propertys on Instances, but it is really inefficient and has lots of bypasses. I googled it and everything I find is the same as this: unworking.

In Lua 5.1, sandboxing is pretty simple. If you have a Lua script in a file somewhere, and you want to prevent it from accessing any functions or anything other than the parameters you provide, you do this:

local script = --Load the script via whatever means. DO NOT RUN IT YET!
setfenv(script, {})

script is now sandboxed. It cannot access anything other than the values you directly provide. Functions it creates cannot access anything outside of this sandbox environment. Your original global environment is completely cut off from them, except for what you permit it to access.

Obviously you can put whatever you like in that table; that table will contain whatever globally accessible stuff you like. You should probably give Lua scripts access to basic Lua standard library functions; most of those are pure functions that can't do anything unpleasant.

Here's a list of Lua standard library stuff that you must not give the user access to, if you want to maintain the integrity your sandbox:

• getfenv. There are valid reasons for a user to be able to setfenv, so that it can create mini-sandboxes of its own within your sandbox. But you cannot allow access to the environment of any functions you put in the sandbox if you want to maintain the integrity of the sandbox.
• getmetatable: Same reasoning as above; setting metatables is OK. Though malicious code can break an object if they change its metatable, but malicious code can break your entire system just by doing an infinite loop.
• The entire debug library. All manner of chicanery is possible through the debug library.

You also apparently need to solve this problem that Lua 5.1 has with loading bytecode from within a Lua script. That can be used to break the sandbox. Unfortunately, Lua 5.1 doesn't really have good tools for that. In Lua 5.2+, you can encapsulate load and loadfile, such that you internally pass "t" as the mode parameter no matter what the user provides. But with Lua 5.1, you need some way to encapsulate load et.al. such that you can tell when the data is text and when it's not. You could probably find the code that Lua uses to distinguish bytecode from text by reading the Lua source.

Or you can just disallow load and its friends altogether.

If you want to prevent the user from doing ugly things to the system, then disallow the os and io libraries.
