[NEU] [kritisch] vm2: Mehrere Schwachstellen

BSI flags critical vm2 sandbox escapes enabling RCE and security bypass — a significant supply-chain concern for enterprises running Node.js automation or CI/CD workloads that rely on this deprecated library.

Summary written by editorial AI · Source link below

Filed by CERT-Bund (BSI)1 min readRead at source ↗

Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in vm2 ausnutzen, um beliebigen Programmcode mit den Rechten des Dienstes auszuführen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, Daten offenzulegen oder zu manipulieren oder einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand auszulösen.

Editorial Analysis

Why it matters

Organisations using vm2 for code sandboxing face arbitrary code execution risk; the library's deprecated status means there will be no upstream fixes, forcing migration decisions.

What to do

Audit all deployments for vm2 usage and migrate to a supported sandbox solution such as isolated-vm or container-level isolation.

Board brief

A critical vulnerability in a widely-used Node.js sandboxing library could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in automation and development pipelines.
