CVE-2026-44001 PUBLISHED

vm2: Sandbox Escape via Promise Constructor Unhandled Rejection (Process Crash DoS)

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 04.05.2026 Published: 13.05.2026 Updated: 13.05.2026

vm2 is an open source vm/sandbox for Node.js. Prior to 3.11.0, a sandbox escape vulnerability in vm2 v3.10.5 allows any sandboxed code to crash the host Node.js process via a single Promise constructor that triggers an unhandled rejection propagating to the host. The fix for CVE-2026-22709 (v3.10.2) only sanitized the onRejected callback in .then() and .catch() overrides and did not address the executor-to-unhandledRejection path. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.11.0.
