CVE-2026-47135
Description
A flaw was found in vm2, an open-source virtual machine (VM) sandbox for Node.js. An attacker within the sandbox could exploit incomplete symbol interception and missing security checks to gain control over the host system. This could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox environment, leading to a complete compromise of the host.
Statement
This vulnerability has been rated as Moderate for Red Hat Developer Hub and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. The vm2 sandbox exists as a transitive dependency in Red Hat Developer Hub and is only utilized during build time. The sandbox is therefore not exposed on the production code path. Exploitation of this vulnerability requires attackers to write cross-realm symbol keys to host objects which is not possible in the default configuration of Red Hat Developer Hub.
Mitigation
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
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).
