Doc Text:
A flaw was found in vm2. The NodeVM component exposes the host `util` module, including the `util.getCallSites()` function, to the sandbox as an unfiltered copy. On Node.js versions 22.9 and later, this allows sandboxed code to access `util.getCallSites()`, which can return the host process's full call stack. This information disclosure includes sensitive details such as absolute file paths, function names, and line numbers, bypassing existing host-frame redaction mechanisms.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-17 14:09:59 UTC
vm2 is a sandbox for running untrusted Node.js code. In versions <= 3.11.7, NodeVM exposes the host `util` module to the sandbox as an unfiltered shallow copy (`Object.assign({}, util)` in `defaultBuiltinLoaderUtil`), and the deprecated `sys` builtin (an alias of host `util`) is exposed through the generic builtin loader. On Node.js >= 22.9 this hands sandboxed code `util.getCallSites()`, a programmatic stack-introspection API that returns the host process's full call stack, including absolute file paths, function names, and line numbers for vm2 bridge internals and the embedding application's entrypoint. This bypasses the host-frame redaction introduced for GHSA-v27g-jcqj-v8rw, which only applies to the `Error.prepareStackTrace` formatting channel. The issue is fixed in vm2 3.11.8.
