SCA: security update for vm2 (GHSA-wp5r-2gw5-m7q7)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 441464

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 code transformer has a performance
 optimization that skips AST analysis when the code does not contain catch, import, or async keywords. This
 fast-path bypass allows sandboxed code to directly access the internal
 VM2_INTERNAL_STATE_DO_NOT_USE_OR_PROGRAM_WILL_FAIL variable, which exposes internal security functions
 (handleException, wrapWith, import). This vulnerability is fixed in 3.11.0. (CVE-2026-44003)

Solution

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