  • Jint

    Javascript Interpreter for .NET

  • Ah yeah, I looked into it more and decompiled the game to find that it appears they're using Jint to interpret the Javascript, and from testing with someone's REPL BBS server I can find that it's a pretty well isolated environment. Only ways around it I can think of are by exploiting some vulnerability in the sandbox to do external requests, modding the game itself to update the api, or running a parallel server to do some janky communication through the save state data.
