Critical Flaws in vm2 JavaScript Library Can Lead to Remote Code Execution

Posted by in category: futurism

A fresh round of patches has been made available for the vm2 JavaScript library to address two critical flaws that could be exploited to break out of the sandbox protections.

Both the flaws – CVE-2023–29199 and CVE-2023–30547 – are rated 9.8 out of 10 on the CVSS scoring system and have been addressed in versions 3.9.16 and 3.9.17, respectively.

Successful exploitation of the bugs, which allow an attacker to raise an unsanitized host exception, could be weaponized to escape the sandbox and run arbitrary code in the host context.
