GHSA-J3HM-6RG5-MCHV vm2: NodeVM `require.external` without an explicit `require.root` grants unrestricted host filesystem access and full RCE

Summary NodeVM's require.external option lets sandboxed code require local files and npm packages. When require.external is enabled and require.root is not explicitly set to a path that excludes nodemodules, two defaults combine to fully defeat the sandbox: - require.root defaults to unrestricted...

vm2 Custom Module Resolver Can Bypass the External Package Allowlist by Loading a Colliding Host Package

Summary vm2 is a sandbox library for isolating and executing untrusted JavaScript code inside a Node.js process. It can restrict access to built-in modules and external packages. When NodeVM enables an external allowlist together with a custom resolve callback, vm2 checks the requested package na...

CVE-2026-100721 vm2 before 3.12.2 Authorization Bypass via Custom Resolver

vm2 before 3.12.2 contains an authorization bypass in the NodeVM external-module resolver. When an embedder configures require.external with a custom resolver and context: 'host', LegacyResolver.customResolve in lib/resolver-compat.js records the resolved module directory in this.externals as new...

The vulnerability of the require.external component of the vm2 package manager NPM allows a attacker to execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability of the require.external component in the vm2 package manager NPM is related to insufficient control over resources with dynamic management. Exploiting this vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code...
