It released all the evils in the world. Actually in was a jar not a box.

The original legend was of a jar although many versions now refer to it as a box. It contained all the evils and negative things in the world such as pain, fear, hatred etc. Pandora opening the box symbolizes that while the gods (in this story but any higher power you believe in) may have created the evils in the world, the humans brought them upon themselves, in this case through curiosity.

What does it mean to open Pandora's Box?

It's a phrase that refers to the Greek myth about Pandora receiving a box from Hermes that she wasn't allowed to open, but she was so curious that she did open it. When she opened it all the bad things that are in the world today, like sickness, hunger, jealousy, anger or greed, flew out of the box. But hope was hidden in the box, and she was able to keep it inside. So when someone says that Pandora's box has been opened, or the like, they mean that bad things are going to happen. It means you've revealed a secret or done something you shouldn't do and in doing so "great evils" or unforeseen negative consequences are released.
