vm2 is vulnerable to Protection Mechanism Failure
86
High Risk
This Affects:
vm2TL;DR
The vm2 bridge set trap ignores the receiver when writing through proxies, so sandbox code can mutate host-side objects. That breaks the sandbox boundary and can be chained to run arbitrary code in the host Node.js process. Versions before the fix allow host writes from untrusted VM code. The patch enforces receiver-correct writes in lib/bridge.js.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
