SCA: security update for vm2 (GHSA-r273-hxvj-fxhp)
medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 472969
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- vm2 is a sandbox for running untrusted Node.js code. In versions <= 3.11.7, NodeVM exposes the host `util`
module to the sandbox as an unfiltered shallow copy (`Object.assign({}, util)` in
`defaultBuiltinLoaderUtil`), and the deprecated `sys` builtin (an alias of host `util`) is exposed through
the generic builtin loader. On Node.js >= 22.9 this hands sandboxed code `util.getCallSites()`, a
programmatic stack-introspection API that returns the host process's full call stack, including absolute
file paths, function names, and line numbers for vm2 bridge internals and the embedding application's
entrypoint. This bypasses the host-frame redaction introduced for GHSA-v27g-jcqj-v8rw, which only applies
to the `Error.prepareStackTrace` formatting channel. The issue is fixed in vm2 3.11.8. (CVE-2026-92933)
Solution
Update the vm2 library and its related packages to version 3.11.8 or later.See Also
