By manipulating Promise species and intercepting internal method calls via prototype pollution, attackers bypass sandbox protections and gain full host access.\n\n## TL;DR\nvm2 prior to version 3.10.5 contains a critical sandbox escape (CVSS 9.8). Attackers bypass internal security wrappers by overwriting Function.prototype.call and hijacking Promise creation, achieving unauthenticated remote code execution on the host system.\n\n## Exploit Status: POC\n\n## Technical Details\n\n- **CWE ID**: CWE-94, CWE-693\n- **Attack Vector**: Network\n- **CVSS Score**: 9.8 (Critical)\n- **EPSS Score**: 0.00080 (23.22%)\n- **Exploit Status**: Proof of Concept Available\n- **KEV Status**: Not Listed\n\n## Affected Systems\n\n- Node.js applications running vm2 versions < 3.10.5\n- **vm2**: < 3.10.5 (Fixed in: `3.10.5`)\n\n## Mitigation\n\n- Upgrade vm2 to version 3.10.5 immediately\n- Migrate to alternative isolation technologies (WebAssembly, Docker, Firecracker)\n- Implement strong EDR rules to detect child_process spawning from Node.js\n\n**Remediation Steps:**\n1. Identify all projects and transitive dependencies relying on vm2.\n2. Update package.json and lockfiles to enforce vm2 >= 3.10.5.\n3. Run unit and integration tests to ensure standard functionality remains unaffected by the update.\n4. Initiate an architectural review to deprecate usage of V8-based sandboxing for untrusted code execution.\n\n## References\n\n- [GitHub Release v3.10.5](https://github.com/patriksimek/vm2/releases/tag/v3.10.5)\n- [GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-qvjj-29qf-hp7p](https://github.com/patriksimek/vm2/security/advisories/GHSA-qvjj-29qf-hp7p)\n- [Fix Commit 4b009c2d4b1131c01810c1205e641d614c322a29](https://github.com/patriksimek/vm2/commit/4b009c2d4b1131c01810c1205e641d614c322a29)\n- [Red Hot Cyber - Latest Critical Vulnerabilities Analysis](https://www.redhotcyber.com/en/latest-critical-vulnerabilities/)\n\n\n---\n*Generated by [CVEReports](https://cvereports.com/reports/CVE-2026-24120) - Automated Vulnerability Intelligence*", "creation_timestamp": "2026-05-05T16:40:29.000000Z"}, {"uuid": "cb808edf-b6ef-408d-bb66-b1d07a22ddb7", "vulnerability_lookup_origin": "1a89b78e-f703-45f3-bb86-59eb712668bd", "author": "9f56dd64-161d-43a6-b9c3-555944290a09", "vulnerability": "CVE-2026-24120", "type": "seen", "source": "https://bsky.app/profile/cyberhub.blog/post/3mlicivo2zc2f", "content": "\ud83d\udccc CVE-2026-24120 - vm2 is an open source vm/sandbox for Node.js.
