{"id":"GHSA-5843-9mh5-hhgw","summary":"Duplicate Advisory: vm2 exposes host HTTPS credentials and TLS traffic through globalAgent","details":"## Duplicate Advisory\n\nThis advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-h85j-hv3c-qfgq. This link is maintained to preserve external references.\n\n## Original Description\nvm2 versions 3.11.3 through 3.11.6 expose the host process's real https.globalAgent to sandboxed code when a NodeVM is explicitly configured to allow require('https'). The builtin loader wraps host modules in a read-only proxy, but method calls such as Agent.prototype.on() are forwarded to the underlying host object, so sandbox code can register a listener for the agent's 'free' event. When an unrelated host HTTPS request releases a pooled connection, the listener receives the live host request options and the host TLSSocket, allowing sandboxed code to read the host's Authorization header and private destination host/port, attach a data listener to the released socket and read subsequent host response bodies in plaintext, and issue attacker-chosen authenticated requests using the stolen credentials. The issue is fixed in 3.11.7.","modified":"2026-10-01T15:45:06.196350430Z","published":"2026-09-17T15:32:14Z","withdrawn":"2026-10-01T15:38:02Z","database_specific":{"github_reviewed_at":"2026-10-01T15:38:02Z","nvd_published_at":"2026-09-17T14:17:59Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-668"],"severity":"CRITICAL","github_reviewed":true},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/patriksimek/vm2/security/advisories/GHSA-h85j-hv3c-qfgq"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-92940"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/vm2-3.11.3-through-3.11.6-https-credential-exposure-via-globalagent"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"vm2","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/vm2"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"3.11.3"},{"last_affected":"3.11.6"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/09/GHSA-5843-9mh5-hhgw/GHSA-5843-9mh5-hhgw.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:L"},{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:L/SC:H/SI:H/SA:L/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"}]}
