Prior to 3.11.0, NodeVM's builtin allowlist can be bypassed when the module builtin is allowed (including via the '*' wildcard). The module builtin exposes Node's Module._load(), which loads any module by name directly in the host context, completely bypassing vm2's builtin restriction. This allows sandboxed code to load excluded builtins like child_process and achieve remote code execution. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.11.0.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.9},"cwes":["CWE-863","CWE-829"],"references":["https://github.com/patriksimek/vm2/security/advisories/GHSA-947f-4v7f-x2v8","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:50850","https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-43999","https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2477196","https://github.com/patriksimek/vm2/security/advisories/GHSA-947f-4v7f-x2v8"],"products":["vm2_project:vm2"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-26T17:39:09.812804557+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-43999","score":0.00974,"percentile":0.61816,"date":"2026-10-26"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-947f-4v7f-x2v8","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-947f-4v7f-x2v8","summary":"vm2 has a NodeVM builtin allowlist bypass via `module` builtin's `Module._load` that allows sandbox escape","modified":"2026-05-14T20:49:43.499907Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"vm2","purl":"pkg:npm/vm2","ranges":[">=3.10.5 <3.11.0"],"fixed":["3.11.0"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
