There exists a vulnerability in exception sanitization of vm2 for versions up to 3.9.16, allowing attackers to raise an unsanitized host exception inside handleException()
which can be used to escape the sandbox and run arbitrary code in host context. This vulnerability was patched in the release of version 3.9.17
of vm2
. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. Users are advised to upgrade.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
