The flaw exists due to a breakdown in the ReadOnlyHandler proxy boundary, allowing sandboxed scripts to obtain direct references to wrapped property setters on frozen host-bound objects, ultimately leading to unauthorized state modification in the host environment. This security failure violates the read-only contract enforced by the sandbox for frozen/readonly objects, though it does not by itself allow a full execution-level realm escape. Due to systemic and structural design difficulties in securing a shared-runtime JavaScript sandbox, the vm2 library has been officially deprecated.\n\n## TL;DR\nA security flaw in vm2's proxy bridge allows sandboxed applications to leak and invoke property setters on frozen objects, enabling unauthorized write access to host-realm configurations and bypassing isolation controls.\n\n## Exploit Status: POC\n\n## Technical Details\n\n- **CWE ID**: CWE-471: Modification of Assumed-Immutable Data (MAID)\n- **Attack Vector**: Network / Sandboxed Script Execution\n- **CVSS Score**: 4.0 (Medium)\n- **EPSS Score**: 0.00319 (Percentile: 22.47%)\n- **Impact**: Low Integrity (State Modification of Host objects)\n- **Exploit Status**: Proof of Concept (PoC) Verified\n- **KEV Status**: Not Listed\n\n## Affected Systems\n\n- Node.js applications running vm2 library within multi-tenant execution contexts\n- **vm2**: >= 3.9.6, < 3.11.7 (Fixed in: `3.11.7`)\n\n## Mitigation\n\n- Upgrade to vm2 version 3.11.7 or later to apply the explicit descriptor-filtering patch.\n- Migrate the application execution pipeline from the deprecated vm2 library to isolated-vm.\n- Enforce strict input sanitization inside host-defined accessors exposed to untrusted code.\n- Avoid passing complex host objects containing getters/setters to sandboxed contexts.\n\n**Remediation Steps:**\n1. Identify instances of vm2 in package.json and transitively via npm-list.\n2. Update the package version constraint to 3.11.7.\n3. Execute npm install to rebuild dependency trees with the patched version.\n4. Prepare a migration path to isolate untrusted scripts inside isolated-vm or isolated micro-containers.\n\n## References\n\n- [Official GitHub Security Advisory (GHSA-633r-hq9m-c4ff)](https://github.com/patriksimek/vm2/security/advisories/GHSA-633r-hq9m-c4ff)\n- [VulnCheck Vulnerability Advisory](https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/vm2-3.9.6-before-3.11.7-sandbox-bypass-via-accessor-descriptor)\n- [Official Release tag (v3.11.7)](https://github.com/patriksimek/vm2/releases/tag/v3.11.7)\n- [NVD Vulnerability Page](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-92949)\n- [CVE.org Official Record](https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-92949)\n\n\n---\n*Generated by [CVEReports](https://cvereports.com/reports/CVE-2026-92949) - Automated Vulnerability Intelligence*", "creation_timestamp": "2026-10-02T05:30:32.000000Z"} 2026-10-02T05:30:32+00:00 https://vulnerability.circl.lu/sighting/8b3819f2-5010-4e8a-ab13-528163b04e72/export 2026-10-05T02:11:33.168586+00:00 Joseph Lee https://cve.circl.lu/user/syspect {"uuid": "8b3819f2-5010-4e8a-ab13-528163b04e72", "vulnerability_lookup_origin": "1a89b78e-f703-45f3-bb86-59eb712668bd", "author": "86ecb4e1-bb32-44d5-9f39-8a4673af8385", "vulnerability": "CVE-2026-92949", "type": "published-proof-of-concept", "source": "https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-633r-hq9m-c4ff", "content": "", "creation_timestamp": "2026-10-01T15:35:25.000000Z"} 2026-10-01T15:35:25+00:00
