Overview

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

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Control of Dynamically-Managed Code Resources through the mutation of TypedArray and ArrayBuffer prototypes. An attacker can alter the behavior of host-created typed arrays by modifying prototype properties after the execution of untrusted code, potentially leading to unauthorized changes in the host environment.
