Echo: vm2: security update to 3.11.0+echo.1

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 460944

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 3.11.3, it is possible to catch a host exception
 using the yield* expression inside an async generator. When the generator is closed using the return
 function, the value is awaited on and exceptions thrown in the then call will be caught by the runtime and
 passed to the yield* iterator as the next value. This allows attackers to write code which can escape from
 the VM2 sandbox and execute arbitrary commands on the host system. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.11.3.
 (CVE-2026-45411)

Solution

Update the vm2 library and its related packages to version 3.11.0+echo.1 or later.
