  "details" : [ "vm2 is an open source vm/sandbox for Node.js. Prior to 3.11.1, when a NodeVM is created with nesting: true, sandbox code can unconditionally require('vm2') regardless of the outer VM's require configuration — including require: false. With access to vm2, the sandbox constructs a new inner NodeVM with its own unrestricted require settings and executes arbitrary OS commands on the host. Any application that runs untrusted code inside a NodeVM with nesting: true is fully compromised. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.11.1.", "A flaw was found in vm2 (before 3.11.1). With nesting: true, sandbox code can require('vm2') regardless of outer require settings (including require: false), spawn an inner NodeVM with unrestricted require, and execute arbitrary OS commands on the host. Fixed in 3.11.1." ],
  "statement" : "vm2 NodeVM is vulnerable to sandbox escape when nesting is enabled, allowing unconditional require of vm2 and creation of an unrestricted inner NodeVM. An attacker with low privileges who can run code in a nested NodeVM may execute arbitrary OS commands on the host. Fixed in vm2 3.11.1.",
