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 3.11.2, the new method neutralizeArraySpeciesBatch
 works with objects from the other side but can call into this side via getter on the array prototype
 exposing objects of the wrong side into the sandbox. This can be used to get host objects and get the host
 Function object. This allows attackers to write code which can escape from the VM2 sandbox and execute
 arbitrary commands on the host system. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.11.2. (CVE-2026-44008)

Update the vm2 library and its related packages to version 3.11.2 or later.
