SCA: security update for vm2 (GHSA-99p7-6v5w-7xg8)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 437379

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. In vm2 prior to version 3.10.2, `Promise.prototype.then`
 `Promise.prototype.catch` callback sanitization can be bypassed. This allows attackers to escape the
 sandbox and run arbitrary code. In lib/setup-sandbox.js, the callback function of
 `localPromise.prototype.then` is sanitized, but `globalPromise.prototype.then` is not sanitized. The
 return value of async functions is `globalPromise` object. Version 3.10.2 fixes the issue.
 (CVE-2026-22709)
