vm2 is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE)
100
Critical Risk
This Affects:
vm2TL;DR
Promise species hijacking lets sandbox code steer then/catch/finally handlers onto attacker-chosen constructors. That exposes host-realm objects and enables full escape from VM sandboxes. Untrusted JavaScript executed as a security boundary is fully compromised. The fix hardens Promise species handling in lib/setup-sandbox.js and related bridge logic.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
Background info
vm2 is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) in versions 3.0.0 - 3.11.3.
