CVE-2026-92944vm2 3.10.2 through 3.11.6 Sandbox Escape via Promise Protector

Updated under an hour ago ()

Does this affect you?

It affects patriksimek vm2. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

No exploitation reported and no EPSS estimate yet.

vm2 versions 3.10.2 through 3.11.6 contain a sandbox escape vulnerability on Node.js 26 where Promise.prototype.finally() bypasses vm2's wrapper protections due to a stale PromiseThenLookupChain protector in V8 14.6. Attackers can exploit this by creating an async function that returns a Promise with an attacker-controlled constructor Symbol.species, allowing them to reach the host Function constructor and process object for arbitrary code execution.
