SCA: security update for vm2 (GHSA-hw58-p9xv-2mjh)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 441442

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 3.11.0, a sandbox escape vulnerability in vm2
 v3.10.5 allows any sandboxed code to crash the host Node.js process via a single Promise constructor that
 triggers an unhandled rejection propagating to the host. The fix for CVE-2026-22709 (v3.10.2) only
 sanitized the onRejected callback in .then() and .catch() overrides and did not address the executor-to-
 unhandledRejection path. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.11.0. (CVE-2026-44001)

Solution

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