vm2 is vulnerable to Denial of Service
86
High Risk
This Affects:
vm2TL;DR
A host promise that reaches the sandbox through a constructor return, a host getter or data property, or a callback argument has no rejection reaction in lib/bridge.js. Sandbox code that drops a rejected host promise then terminates the host process under Node's unhandledRejection policy. A prior fix marked promises as handled only on apply returns, so the construct trap and the other delivery routes stay unguarded. The fix marks every host promise as handled once at the delivery chokepoint and gives the construct trap the same unconditional marking as apply.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and you expose host promises to sandboxed code under a strict unhandledRejection policy.
Background info
vm2 is vulnerable to Denial of Service in versions 0.1.0 - 3.12.1.
How to fix this
