Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions vm2 versions 3.9.17 and lower

Description The issue allows a threat actor to get a read-write reference to the node inspect method and edit options for console.log, resulting in the ability to edit options for the console.log command. This was possible due to a flaw in vm2, a sandbox that can run untrusted code with Node's built-in modules.

Recommendations For versions 3.9.17 and lower, upgrade to version 3.9.18 or higher. As a temporary workaround for users unable to upgrade, make the inspect method readonly with vm.readonly(inspect) after creating a vm.
