Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions vm2 versions prior to 3.11.0
Description vm2 is an open source sandbox for Node.js that contains a sandbox breakout issue caused by incorrect code generation management. This allows attackers to bypass JavaScript sandbox isolation and execute arbitrary commands on the host system. The issue stems from the lookupGetter method, which can switch between host and sandbox versions when passed to another context. By using the host apply method via Buffer.apply, an attacker can access getters in the host context. This process enables the retrieval of the host Function.prototype object and the host Function through the constructor property, allowing the creation and execution of code in the host context. Attempts to mitigate this using Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor to access the constructor property can circumvent previous fixes.
Recommendations Update to version 3.11.0.
