vm2: NodeVM builtin denylist bypass via fs/promises despite -fs, allowing host filesystem writes

Summary NodeVM's builtin wildcard policy can allow sandboxed code to access fs/promises even when the embedder denies fs. With the following configuration: js require: builtin: '', '-fs', '-childprocess' require'fs' and require'childprocess' are blocked, but require'fs/promises' and...

vm2: NodeVM node:-prefixed negative builtin deny bypass exposes child_process

Summary NodeVM normalizes node:-prefixed builtin specifiers during require resolution, but it does not normalize user-provided negative builtin entries in wildcard policy. As a result, this configuration: js new NodeVM require: builtin: '', '-node:childprocess' ; does not deny the canonical...

vm2: vm.freeze()/vm.readonly() bypass via accessor descriptor

Summary Untrusted JavaScript running inside new VM.run / new NodeVM.run can bypass vm.freeze / vm.readonly and mutate a host object the embedder explicitly marked read-only - the documented contract is "prevent sandboxed scripts from adding, changing, or deleting properties". If the frozen host...

vm2: NodeVM nesting guard accepts array-shaped require and permits host RCE

Summary The NodeVM constructor computes hasRealRequireConfig using typeof requireOpts === 'object' && requireOpts !== null, so require: bypasses the guard intended to reject nesting without an explicit require configuration. makeResolverFromLegacyOptions then destructures the array to undefined...

vm2: GHSA-m283-3h24-438v fix bypass leads to host RCE via call/apply indirection

Summary Untrusted JavaScript run by vm2 can escape the sandbox and execute arbitrary commands in the host Node.js process when an embedder-exposed host Promise rejects. This is an incomplete fix for GHSA-m283-3h24-438v: the advisory's capability-bearing rejection rebuild runs only through this...

vm2 allows a sandboxed plugin to execute native code through `node:sqlite`

Summary vm2 3.11.6 exposes Node.js's host node:sqlite module to NodeVM code when that builtin is allowed explicitly or through builtin: ''. The module is wrapped as read-only, but callable methods retain host-process authority. A sandboxed plugin can construct an in-memory database with extension...

vm2 crypto builtin loads attacker native code through setEngine

Summary vm2 3.11.6 exposes the host crypto module to a NodeVM when that single builtin is allowed. The module is presented through a read-only bridge, but its functions still execute with host-process authority. crypto.setEngine accepts a filesystem path and asks OpenSSL to dynamically load the...

vm2 sandbox escape on Node.js 26 through a stale PromiseThenLookupChain protector

Reporter - Name or handle: YMsora - Report date: 2026-08-14 Summary The latest published vm2 release, 3.11.5, and the current main branch are vulnerable to a sandbox escape when used on Node.js 26. An ordinary fulfilled Promise created by an async function can retain an attacker-controlled...

vm2 NodeVM can replace the host process TLS trust store

Summary vm2 3.11.6 exposes the host tls module to a NodeVM when that builtin is explicitly allowed. Although the module object is wrapped as read-only, its functions still execute against process-wide host state. On Node.js versions that provide tls.setDefaultCACertificates, sandbox code can...

vm2: External module allowlist uses a raw prefix test, so a prefix-sharing sibling package is treated as allowlisted

Summary isPathAllowedForModule decides whether a resolved path belongs to an allowlisted external module using a raw string prefix test. nodemodules/foo2 starts with nodemodules/foo, so a package whose name merely shares a prefix with an allowlisted one is treated as being inside it, and a relati...

JupyterLab: Cross-site scripting (XSS) in JupyterLab via crafted language package (jupyterlab.json)

Description A language pack ships a Plural-Forms header saying how the language counts, for example nplurals=2; plural=n != 1;. JupyterLab turns that string into a function with new Function, so the header gets executed. The check that meant to keep it safe was a regular expression. The regex was...

JupyterLab: Argument injection in JupyterLab extension uninstall exposes server-readable files and internal URLs

JupyterLab's PyPI extension manager runs python -m pip uninstall with the extension name taken from the request body. ExtensionHandler.post validates the name for cmd=install but not for cmd=uninstall, so a name that begins with - reaches the command line and pip reads it as an option rather than...

JupyterLab: Cross-site scripting (XSS) in JupyterLab via notebook cells pasted from the system clipboard

Description JupyterLab 4.5.0 enabled copying and pasing cells through the system clipboard. The paste path parses clipboard text as cell JSON and inserts the cells without clearing metadata.trusted, so a payload can declare its own output as trusted. JupyterLab does not sanitize a trusted output...

jackson-core: UTF8DataInputJsonParser._reportInvalidToken() missing maxErrorTokenLength limit -> unbounded StringBuilder growth (DoS)

Status FULLY REPRODUCED. A malformed token fed through createParserDataInput produced a 20,000,109-character exception message from a 20-million-character attacker payload, while the identical payload fed through createParserInputStream produced a correctly bounded 367-character message. Affected...

jackson-core: ReDoS: quadratic backtracking in NumberInput.PATTERN_FLOAT via looksLikeValidNumber()

Status FULLY REPRODUCED with a clean, textbook empirical signature: measured runtime grew almost exactly 4x for every doubling of input size across five consecutive doublings 5,000 → 160,000 characters, confirming On² behavior. A single 160,000-character string smaller than a typical HTTP request...

devalue: `stringify`/`uneval` serialize shared memory

Impact stringify and uneval serialize a typed array by emitting its backing ArrayBuffer, not just the view. In the case of a Node Buffer object, the backing buffer is a process-wide shared pool, meaning unrelated memory can be serialized into a response that is then sent to the client. For a Node...

devalue: Residual sparse-array CPU amplification in uneval

uneval performs synchronous work proportional to a sparse array's declared length. An application that passes attacker-influenced sparse values to uneval can suffer event-loop blocking. Since attacker-controlled creation of sparse arrays is so difficult, this vulnerability is very difficult to...

devalue: Repeated primitive strings cause quadratic expansion in uneval

Under very constrained circumstances, data that was parsed and then passed to uneval could turn a small payload into a very large serialized string...

devalue: Sparse arrays emitted by uneval cause eager allocation when evaluated

Evaluating legitimate uneval output for a sparse array can allocate memory proportional to its declared length. A tiny serialized value can therefore cause large memory allocation in a consuming browser/runtime. This occurs during evaluation of generated code, not in default parse sparse-array...

devalue: stringifyAsync can cause an unhandled rejection despite a caught returned promise

When serializing multiple promises, a later promise can reject before an earlier one settles. An internal rejected promise remains unhandled even if the caller catches the returned stringifyAsync promise. Under Node's default unhandled-rejection behavior this can terminate the process. Applicatio...

devalue: Malformed null-prototype object keys bypass __proto__ rejection via property-key coercion

This is another instance of https://github.com/sveltejs/devalue/security/advisories/GHSA-mwv9-gp5h-frr4, where some payloads could cause parse to create objects with a proto own property. This on its own is not enough to cause prototype pollution, and indeed this is actually how JSON.parse works,...

virtualenv bash and fish activation scripts execute commands embedded in paths

Impact The generated activate bash/zsh and activate.fish scripts interpolate a shlex.quote-ed value into a position that quotes it a second time. The extra quotes terminate the quoted run early and leave part of the value parsed as shell code, so a path containing shell metacharacters runs comman...

virtualenv: Command injection via --prompt in activate.bat (batch activator)

BatchActivator.quote returned its input unchanged, the only activator with no escaping at all. --prompt, the VIRTUALENVPROMPT environment variable, and the config file all set the prompt, and activate.bat writes it straight into @set "VAR=value". A prompt containing a double quote closes that...

pypdf: Possible large memory usage when parsing font data

Impact An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to large memory consumption. This requires parsing the /Widths entry of a TrueType or Type1 fonts with unusually large values, for example during text extraction. Patches This has been fixed in pypdf==6.18.1. Workarounds I...

pypdf: Possible large memory usage for large /ToUnicode streams (Follow-up 2)

Impact An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to large memory consumption. This requires parsing the /ToUnicode entry of a font with unusually large values, for example during text extraction. Patches This has been fixed in pypdf==6.18.1. Workarounds If you cannot...

pypdf: Possible long runtimes/large memory usage when parsing indirect objects

Impact An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to long runtimes. This requires reading a PDF document with long indirect object headers, not terminated by whitespace. Patches This has been fixed in pypdf==6.18.0. Workarounds If you cannot upgrade yet, consider applying...

pypdf: Possible large memory usage when retrieving Roman page labels

Impact An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to large memory consumption. This requires accessing the page labels of a document with large Roman numerals. Patches This has been fixed in pypdf==6.17.0. Workarounds If you cannot upgrade yet, consider applying the chang...

piscina: Prototype-pollution gadget in ThreadPool.options allows RCE via execArgv / loadBalancer / env

Summary A prototype-pollution gadget in ThreadPool.options allows an attacker who can pollute Object.prototype to execute arbitrary code in Piscina worker threads, invoke arbitrary functions during task scheduling, or inject environment variables into workers. The root cause is that...

basic-ftp: Quadratic-time CPU denial of service in Client.list() Unix directory-listing parser (RE_LINE backtracking)

Summary Client.list parses the server's directory listing with the Unix-style parser in parseListUnix.js. Its RELINE regex has two adjacent \S+?:\s\S+ groups owner name, then group name followed by a required numeric size group. When a line starts with a valid listing prefix but the tokens after ...

SiYuan discloses an administrator's open documents and search terms to anonymous readers

Summary /api/system/getConf serves Conf.UILayout to publish readers after passing it through FilterConfByPublishIgnore, whose only function is to filter that layout. The layout is written exclusively by setUILayout, which is administrator-gated, so what readers receive is the administrator's own...

SiYuan: Unauthenticated SQL injection in searchDocs via unescaped keyword (publish mode): cross-notebook read/write with statement stacking

Summary The /api/filetree/searchDocs endpoint concatenates the caller-supplied search keyword directly into a SQL statement with no escaping and no parameter binding. The endpoint is gated by CheckAuth only reachable by the publish RoleReader token, and by the anonymous account when...

virtualenv: Downloaded seed wheels (pip/setuptools) are not integrity-checked before use

downloadwheel runs pip download and hands the result straight to the seeder, with nothing checking the bytes it gets back. The embedded pip and setuptools wheels carry a BUNDLESHA256 that virtualenv checks on every load, but a wheel fetched over the network for the periodic-update feature or the...

virtualenv writes prompt values into pyvenv.cfg without sanitizing line boundaries, allowing configuration injection

Summary pyvenv.cfg is a line-based format with no escape syntax. PyEnvCfg.write wrote values verbatim, while PyEnvCfg.readvalues parses the file with str.splitlines. A value containing a line boundary therefore became additional configuration lines, and because reading is last-wins, the injected...

fastify vulnerable to Denial of Service via unhandled exception on HTTP/2 trailer responses

Impact fastify crashes with an uncaught ERRHTTP2INVALIDCONNECTIONHEADERS exception when a route that registers a response trailer via reply.trailer is served over HTTP/2. Fastify unconditionally adds the Transfer-Encoding: chunked header when a trailer is set, which is forbidden on HTTP/2, so...

PyJWT.decode() reintroduces options-dict mutation, enabling silent claim-verification bypass on dict reuse

Summary PyJWT.decode/decodecomplete mutates a caller-supplied options dict in place whenever verifysignature is falsy, adding verifyexp/verifynbf/verifyiat/verifyaud/verifyiss/verifysub/verifyjti keys directly onto that object. If application code reuses the same options dict across calls a confi...

Tornado: Unbounded query-string argument count allows event-loop-stalling DoS

Summary HTTPServerRequest.init in tornado/httputil.py parses the URL query string via parseqsbytes with no field-count limit — while the sibling POST-body parsing path parsebodyarguments received a maxnumfields=1000 cap added earlier in this exact same release v6.5.8, commit 8d6363ed, explicitly ...

tornado: CurlAsyncHTTPClient enforces no response-size limit — decompression bomb drives unbounded memory accumulation to OOM

An unbounded memory accumulation decompression bomb in tornado.curlhttpclient.CurlAsyncHTTPClient — the client-side sibling gap of CVE-2026-49855 — verified end-to-end on the 2026-08-15 master snapshot 6.6.dev1 and present unchanged in the latest release tag v6.5.8 and on master checked 2026-08-1...

Tornado: StaticFileHandler follows symlinks outside static root (path traversal)

Summary StaticFileHandler allows an unauthenticated attacker to read arbitrary files from the server's filesystem by requesting a path that resolves to a symbolic link placed inside the static root directory. Any application that serves user-uploadable content, or whose static directory is...

GitPython submodule update path traversal can write outside the repository

Affected: GitPython 3.1.61 latest release and main — git/objects/submodule/base.py. git diff 3.1.61 origin/main -- git/objects/submodule/ is empty, so both are identical here. --- The gap The fix for GHSA-hmq2-w58f-27jc added Submodule.validatedname and wired it into update and five siblings,...

hono/jsx renders plain strings unescaped in boundary components, leading to XSS

Summary hono/jsx does not HTML-escape a plain string placed directly as a child or fallback of Suspense or ErrorBoundary, as the only child of a Context.Provider, or as the root value of renderToString / renderToReadableStream from hono/jsx/dom/server. Such a string is emitted as markup instead o...

fastify vulnerable to request body replacement via an async validation result collision

Impact Fastify runs a route's validator and, for a result shaped like value, error , unwraps it: an error becomes a validation failure and value replaces the request part. This convention is intended for synchronous custom compilers for example Joi. A JSON Schema $async validator, however, resolv...

fastify vulnerable to authentication bypass via malformed URLs reaching encapsulated not-found handlers

Impact Fastify routes a malformed URL under one plugin prefix to the custom not-found handler of a different sibling plugin, invoking the handler registered last and skipping the preHandler declared in its setNotFoundHandler. When the request method has no route in the main router, a malformed...

fastify vulnerable to request validation bypass via skipped boolean false schemas

Impact Fastify decided whether to validate a request part by checking its schema for JavaScript truthiness. JSON Schema Draft 7 defines the boolean false as a valid schema that rejects every instance, but because false is falsy, a route that set body, querystring, params, or headers to false had...

fastify vulnerable to header validation bypass via incomplete schema case normalization

Impact Fastify lowercases header-schema property names before compiling the schema, because Node.js stores request header names in lowercase. That normalization was incomplete: it lowercased only top-level properties keys and the root required array, and did not lowercase the JSON Schema Draft 7...

pageant: Out-of-bounds read / oversized allocation in `pageant` MemoryMap::read via a malicious Pageant agent (Windows)

Summary MemoryMap::read in the pageant crate part of the russh workspace, used by russh's SSH-agent client on Windows via AgentClient::connectpageant copies a peer-controlled number of bytes out of an 8192-byte shared-memory view with no bounds check — unlike the sibling MemoryMap::write, which...

Russh: Unbounded memory exhaustion via CHANNEL_OPEN flood during a client-stalled rekey

Summary A russh server can be driven to unbounded heap growth process OOM / kill by a peer that speaks only standard SSH messages, in the default configuration. The peer starts a key re-exchange sends SSHMSGKEXINIT but never sends the follow-up SSHMSGKEXECDHINIT, leaving the server's kex state...
