SCA: security update for vm2 (GHSA-2v2p-6j97-cjg9)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 473011

Description

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

 - vm2 before 3.12.2 does not apply host-side Promise rejection handling in the sandbox-to-host construct
 trap. In BaseHandler, the apply trap calls markHostPromiseHandled() on the returned value, but the
 adjacent construct path returns the result of Reflect.construct without the same sanitization. If an
 embedder exposes a constructable host function whose constructor returns a native rejected Promise, an
 untrusted script executed via VM.run can invoke it with `new` and ignore the result; the rejected host
 Promise crosses the bridge unhandled and, under Node's strict unhandled-rejection policy, is promoted to
 an uncaught exception that terminates the host process. (CVE-2026-100722)

Solution

Update the vm2 library and its related packages to version 3.12.2 or later.
