Insecure Defaults

Overview vm2 is a sandbox that can run untrusted code with whitelisted Node's built-in modules. Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insecure Defaults via the require process in the CLI tool. An attacker can execute arbitrary code in the host environment by supplying a malicious...

CVE-2026-92950

vm2 before 3.11.7 contains a sandbox escape vulnerability in the CLI tool that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in the host Node.js process. Attackers can supply a malicious script file to the vm2 CLI that uses requirefilename to re-execute itself in the host realm, bypassing sandbox...

CVE-2026-92935

vm2 is a sandbox for running untrusted Node.js code. In versions = 3.11.4 and = 3.11.6, the NodeVM constructor computes hasRealRequireConfig with typeof requireOpts === 'object' && requireOpts !== null, so an array-shaped require value for example require: satisfies the guard that is meant to...

CVE-2026-92950 vm2 before 3.11.7 Sandbox Escape via CLI require

vm2 before 3.11.7 contains a sandbox escape vulnerability in the CLI tool that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in the host Node.js process. Attackers can supply a malicious script file to the vm2 CLI that uses requirefilename to re-execute itself in the host realm, bypassing sandbox...

CVE-2026-92950

vm2 before 3.11.7 contains a sandbox escape in its CLI tool . By supplying a malicious script file that calls require(__filename), an attacker re-executes the script in the host Node.js realm , breaking sandbox isolation and gaining access to host modules such as fs and child_process . This yield...

CVE-2026-92935 vm2 NodeVM Remote Code Execution via Array-Shaped Require

vm2 is a sandbox for running untrusted Node.js code. In versions = 3.11.4 and = 3.11.6, the NodeVM constructor computes hasRealRequireConfig with typeof requireOpts === 'object' && requireOpts !== null, so an array-shaped require value for example require: satisfies the guard that is meant to...

CVE-2026-92935

vm2 is a sandbox for running untrusted Node.js code. In versions 3.11.4 through 3.11.6 , a flaw in the NodeVM constructor's guard (typeof requireOpts === 'object' && requireOpts !== null) allows an array-shaped require value (e.g., require: []) to pass, producing a resolver with only NESTING_OVER...

CVE-2026-92957: Improper Privilege Management

vm2 through 3.11.6 does not normalize node:-prefixed builtin specifiers when evaluating user-supplied negative deny entries in a NodeVM wildcard require policy. Although NodeVM strips the node: prefix during require resolution, negative wildcard entries are matched by exact string comparison...

CVE-2026-92948: Protection Mechanism Failure

vm2 versions = 3.9.6 and = 3.11.6 are affected by a NodeVM builtin allowlist bypass that permits a sandbox escape on Node.js 24 and newer when the embedder explicitly allows the node:test builtin e.g. require: builtin: 'node:test' . On Node.js 24+, module.builtinModules exposes the scheme-only ke...
