vm2 is an open source vm/sandbox for Node.js. Prior to version 3.11.4, the fix for GHSA-8hg8-63c5-gwmx CVE-2023-37903 introduced a check in nodevm.js line 263 that blocks the combination nesting: true + require: false. However, the check uses strict equality options.require === false, which is...

CVE-2026-44007 vm2: nesting: true bypasses require: false, allowing sandbox escape to arbitrary OS command execution

vm2 is an open source vm/sandbox for Node.js. Prior to 3.11.1, when a NodeVM is created with nesting: true, sandbox code can unconditionally require'vm2' regardless of the outer VM's require configuration — including require: false. With access to vm2, the sandbox constructs a new inner NodeVM wi...

Summary When a NodeVM is created with nesting: true, sandbox code can unconditionally require'vm2' regardless of the outer VM's require configuration — including require: false. With access to vm2, the sandbox constructs a new inner NodeVM with its own unrestricted require settings and executes...
