-- List of non-safe packages/functions:
--
-- * string.rep: can be used to allocate millions of bytes in 1 operation
-- * {set|get}metatable: can be used to modify the metatable of global objects (strings, integers)
-- * collectgarbage: can affect performance of other systems
-- * dofile: can access the server filesystem
-- * _G: It has access to everything. It can be mocked to other things though.
-- * load{file|string}: All unsafe because they can grant acces to global env
-- * raw{get|set|equal}: Potentially unsafe
-- * module|require|module: Can modify the host settings
-- * string.dump: Can display confidential server info (implementation of functions)
-- * string.rep: Can allocate millions of bytes in one go
-- * math.randomseed: Can affect the host sytem
-- * io.*, os.*: Most stuff there is non-save

Test with Lua

lua test.lua

Should return a error "quota exceeded"

Test with LuaJIT (Default, with no sethooks)

luajit test.lua

With default luajit, it loops forever

Test with openresty

openresty -c nginx.conf -p .

(In another tab)

curl localhost:13131

I have tried with openresty with luajit+debug sethooks, and it still loops forever
