There exists a vulnerability in exception sanitization of vm2 for versions up to 3.9.16, allowing attackers to raise an unsanitized host exception inside handleException() which can be used to escape the sandbox and run arbitrary code in host context.
A threat actor can bypass the sandbox protections to gain remote code execution rights on the host running the sandbox.
This vulnerability was patched in the release of version 3.9.17 of vm2.
None.
