vm2 is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE)
100
Critical Risk
This Affects:
vm2TL;DR
The NodeVM builtin denylist omits process and inspector/promises. Sandboxed code that may load those builtins can call process.getBuiltinModule('child_process') or Runtime.evaluate via the inspector protocol. That bypasses intended builtin restrictions and executes code in the host process. The fix adds these modules to the dangerous builtin blocklist in lib/builtin.js.
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.
