Summary

Duplicate Advisory: vm2 contains a sandbox escape vulnerability

Details

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-pq68-rvw4-xp4r. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

vm2 NodeVM versions before 3.12.1 contain a sandbox escape vulnerability where the DANGEROUS_BUILTINS denylist omits child_process despite blocking other host-spawning modules. Attackers can require child_process and execute arbitrary commands on the host system when NodeVM is configured with builtin:['*'] or explicit child_process allowance.
