AI-suggested

A fix is available in patriksimek vm2 version 3.11.6. Users should upgrade to version 3.11.6 or later to remediate this vulnerability. No additional mitigation steps are indicated.

Description

vm2 before 3.11.6 fails to enforce bufferAllocLimit on ArrayBuffer, SharedArrayBuffer, and TypedArray constructors, allowing attackers to allocate arbitrary host memory. Attackers can bypass the buffer allocation cap by using these V8 intrinsics to exhaust host process memory and trigger out-of-memory conditions.
