CVE-2026-92946

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions vm2 versions prior to 3.11.7

Description A remote code execution issue exists when require.external is enabled without an explicit require.root that excludes node modules. This allows sandboxed code to require the vm2 package itself, instantiate an unrestricted NodeVM instance, and execute arbitrary host OS commands using child process.

Recommendations Update to version 3.11.7 or later. As a temporary mitigation, ensure require.root is explicitly configured to exclude node modules when require.external is enabled.
