CVE-2026-47208: CWE-913: Improper Control of Dynamically-Managed Code Resources in patriksimek vm2
vm2 is an open source vm/sandbox for Node.js. Prior to version 3.11.4, VM2 suffers from a sandbox breakout vulnerability. This allows attackers to write code which can escape from the VM2 sandbox and execute arbitrary commands on the host system. This issue has been patched in version 3.11.4.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vm2 library for Node.js versions before 3.11.4 suffers from a sandbox breakout vulnerability (CWE-913) that enables attackers to execute arbitrary code on the host system by escaping the sandbox environment. This vulnerability allows full compromise of the host, as indicated by the CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H and a maximum score of 10.0. The issue has been addressed and patched in vm2 version 3.11.4.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation results in complete host system compromise, including full confidentiality, integrity, and availability loss. Attackers can execute arbitrary commands outside the sandbox, potentially leading to full control over the affected system.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade vm2 to version 3.11.4 or later, where this sandbox breakout vulnerability has been patched. No other mitigation guidance is provided. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor advisory stating the fix is in version 3.11.4.
