SCA: security update for vm2 (GHSA-6785-pvv7-mvg7)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 441458

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, sandboxed code can call Buffer.alloc() with
 an arbitrary size to allocate memory directly on the host heap. Because Buffer.alloc is a synchronous C++
 native call, vm2's timeout option cannot interrupt it. A single request can exhaust host memory and crash
 the process with a FATAL ERROR: Reached heap limit. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.11.0.
 (CVE-2026-44004)

Solution

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