description
vm2 versions before 3.11.8 contain a sandbox escape affecting NodeVM. An attacker able to execute untrusted code in a NodeVM instance with an inherited console can break out of the sandbox and run code in the host process context.
mitigation
Upgrade vm2 to version 3.11.8 or later. Until upgraded, do not execute untrusted code in NodeVM instances configured with an inherited console.
fixed in 3.11.8
outcome
Contextual check: a technique exists and was validated, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
