CVE-2023-29199 @ Npm-vm2-3.9.11

[westonphillips]

Vulnerable Package issue exists @ Npm-vm2-3.9.11 in branch main

The NPM package vm2 has a vulnerability in versions prior to 3.9.16 that can allow malicious actors to bypass handleException() to escape the sandbox which can then lead to Remote Code Execution (RCE) on the host running the sandbox. The flaw is in the way that the transformer function preprocesses code which allows an attacker to later bypass a handleException() which in its turn allows to raise a host exception. This can then be used to access the host "Function" constructor which allows to escape the sandbox and gain arbitrary code execution on the host.
