    Sandbox Bypass

    vm2 is a sandbox that can run untrusted code with whitelisted Node's built-in modules.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Sandbox Bypass by abusing an unexpected creation of a host object based on the maliciously crafted specification of Proxy. Exploiting this vulnerability allows an attacker to gain remote code execution rights on the host running the sandbox via the Function constructor.

    How to fix Sandbox Bypass?

    Upgrade vm2 to version 3.9.18 or higher.

    <3.9.18
