GHSA-XJ72-WVFV-8985
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-04-12 20:42 – Updated: 2023-04-14 21:35There exists a vulnerability in source code transformer (exception sanitization logic) of vm2 for versions up to 3.9.15, allowing attackers to bypass handleException() and leak unsanitized host exceptions which can be used to escape the sandbox and run arbitrary code in host context.
Impact
A threat actor can bypass the sandbox protections to gain remote code execution rights on the host running the sandbox.
Patches
This vulnerability was patched in the release of version 3.9.16 of vm2.
Workarounds
None.
