SCA: security update for vm2 (GHSA-v27g-jcqj-v8rw)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 441457

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - vm2 is an open source vm/sandbox for Node.js. Prior to 3.11.0, vm2's CallSite wrapper class (intended as a
 safe wrapper for V8's native CallSite) blocks getThis() and getFunction() to prevent host object leakage,
 but allows getFileName() to return unsanitized host absolute paths. Any sandboxed code can extract the
 full directory structure, library paths, and framework versions of the host server. This vulnerability is
 fixed in 3.11.0. (CVE-2026-44002)

Solution

Update the vm2 library and its related packages to version 3.11.0 or later.
