description
vm2 NodeVM versions before 3.12.1 can expose host process-launching functionality to sandboxed code. An attacker who can run untrusted code in a NodeVM configured with wildcard builtins or an explicit child_process permission can execute commands on the host.
mitigation
Upgrade vm2 to version 3.12.1 or later. Until upgraded, do not use wildcard builtin permissions and remove child_process from every NodeVM builtin allowlist.
fixed in 3.12.1
outcome
Contextual check: a technique exists and was validated, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
