CVE-2026-44000
Description
A flaw was found in vm2 (before 3.11.0). Host-side Promises that resolve to host objects deliver values to sandbox .then() callbacks without cross-realm conversion (ensureThis() instead of from()/proxy wrapping), allowing sandbox code to interact with host objects directly. Fixed in 3.11.0.
Statement
vm2 is vulnerable to sandbox boundary violation when host Promises resolve host objects into sandbox callbacks, enabling direct host object interaction and limited confidentiality/integrity impact. A remote unauthenticated attacker who can run sandboxed code and trigger host Promise resolution may read or mutate host object state. Fixed in vm2 3.11.0.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
