{"id":"GHSA-29x6-9qh5-83gg","summary":"Duplicate Advisory: NodeVM `require.external` without an explicit `require.root` grants unrestricted host filesystem access and full RCE","details":"## Duplicate Advisory\n\nThis advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-j3hm-6rg5-mchv. This link is maintained to preserve external references.\n\n## Original Description\nvm2 before 3.11.7 contains a remote code execution vulnerability when require.external is enabled without an explicit require.root that excludes node_modules. Sandboxed code can require vm2's own package, instantiate an unrestricted NodeVM instance, and execute arbitrary host OS commands via child_process.","modified":"2026-10-05T22:45:05.544159896Z","published":"2026-09-17T15:32:15Z","withdrawn":"2026-10-05T22:34:43Z","database_specific":{"github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-10-05T22:34:43Z","nvd_published_at":"2026-09-17T14:17:59Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-913"],"severity":"CRITICAL"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/patriksimek/vm2/security/advisories/GHSA-j3hm-6rg5-mchv"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-92946"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/vm2-before-3.11.7-remote-code-execution-via-require-external"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"vm2","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/vm2"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"3.11.6"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/09/GHSA-29x6-9qh5-83gg/GHSA-29x6-9qh5-83gg.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/MVI:X/MVA:X/MSC:X/MSI:X/MSA:X/S:X/AU:X/R:X/V:X/RE:X/U:X"}]}
