This link is maintained to preserve external references.\n\n## Original Description\nvm2 before 3.11.7 contains a sandbox escape vulnerability in the CLI tool that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in the host Node.js process. Attackers can supply a malicious script file to the vm2 CLI that uses require(__filename) to re-execute itself in the host realm, bypassing sandbox isolation and accessing host modules like fs and child_process.\n\n## Affected packages\n\n- `vm2 <= 3.11.6`\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the advisory for the patched release.","depth":"midnight","depthScore":47,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":47.3,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
