Sandbox escape in vm2 (patriksimek/vm2) versions prior to 3.11.3 enables remote code execution on the host Node.js process by abusing async generator `yield*` semantics to smuggle a host-realm exception into sandbox code, where the attacker pivots through `.constructor.constructor` to reach `process` and `child_process.execSync`. The flaw is exploitable by any attacker who can run JavaScript inside the sandbox, has publicly available exploit code, and carries SSVC technical impact 'total' with automatable=yes, though EPSS remains low at 0.05% (17th percentile) and the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV.
Full sandbox escape with arbitrary code execution allows remote attackers to break out of vm2's Node.js sandbox environment (version 3.10.4) and execute commands on the host system. Attacker-controlled code running inside VM.run() can obtain the host process object and execute arbitrary host commands without any cooperation from the host application. EPSS data not available, but this represents complete failure of the sandbox security boundary. Patch released in version 3.10.5 addresses eleven distinct escape vectors including Function constructor leakage, proxy unwrapping, util.inspect exposure, and WebAssembly exception handling.
Sandbox escape leading to remote code execution in the vm2 Node.js sandbox library affects all versions prior to 3.11.0, where the JavaScript SuppressedError mechanism (combined with DisposableStack disposal) lets untrusted code running inside the sandbox reach a host constructor and execute arbitrary commands on the underlying server. Any application that relies on vm2 to safely run attacker-controlled or untrusted JavaScript is fully compromised, with a working proof-of-concept published in the GHSA advisory. There is publicly available exploit code but no confirmed active exploitation; the SSVC framework rates it POC, automatable, with total technical impact, while EPSS remains low at 0.06%.
Remote code execution in vm2 (Node.js sandbox library) versions prior to 3.11.0 allows unauthenticated attackers to escape the sandbox environment via the inspect function and execute arbitrary system commands. The vulnerability exploits handler leakage through util.inspect's showProxy option to reconstruct host-realm objects and break isolation guarantees. CRITICAL: This is a complete sandbox bypass affecting all deployments using vm2 for untrusted code execution. Vendor-released patch available in version 3.11.0 with multiple commits addressing eight distinct exploitation primitives discovered during iterative disclosure.
Sandbox escape in vm2 for Node.js allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the host system. The vulnerability represents an insufficient fix for CVE-2023-37466, enabling attackers to circumvent sandbox protections through multiple attack vectors including Function constructor extraction, proxy unwrapping, property descriptor manipulation, and WebAssembly JSTag exploitation. CVSS 9.8 (Critical) with EPSS data unavailable, but the existence of a detailed security advisory and comprehensive patch from GitHub indicates active vendor awareness and rapid response. Patched in version 3.10.5 with eleven distinct fixes addressing various bypass techniques.
