vm2 is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution
99
Critical Risk
This Affects:
vm2TL;DR
NodeVM exposes a curated builtin allowlist, but host loading behavior can still be reached through module-family builtins and Module._load. Attackers abuse that passthrough to load capabilities that policy should deny. The issue is a policy bypass rather than a single missing string in a list. The update closes the passthrough so allowlists are enforced end-to-end.

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
