SCA: security update for vm2 (GHSA-r9pm-gxmw-wv6p)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 442521

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 version 3.11.4, NodeVM supports excluding public
 network builtins from the wildcard builtin option. With this configuration direct access to http, https,
 http2, net, dgram, tls, dns, and dns/promises is blocked. However, Node.js also exposes underscored
 internal HTTP builtins such as _http_client and _http_server. These are not blocked when the public
 modules are excluded. Sandboxed code can use these internal builtins to make outbound HTTP requests and
 open listening HTTP sockets even though the public network modules are denied. This issue has been patched
 in version 3.11.4. (CVE-2026-47139)

Solution

Update the vm2 library and its related packages to version 3.11.4 or later.
